Bottom line
Turtle Beach has been making stellar headsets for years, and whether you’re looking for the best Xbox One headset or the best PC gaming headset, Turtle Beach has something that will appeal to you. Turtle Beach’s headsets offer premium sound quality, excellent microphones, top-notch durability and comfort, and affordable prices.
Out of all of Turtle Beach’s superb products, though, we feel that the Turtle Beach Elite Atlas offers the best overall balance of quality, versatility, and price. It’s immense comfort means that you can wear it all day long without issue, and its audio and mic quality punches far above the headset’s mid-range $100 price. Pair that with its durable build and compatibility across both Xbox and PC, and you have a headset that remains on top of the competition even two years after it released.
