Turtle Beach - Atlas Air

Meh sound that requires an EQ, bad sidetone, and forced iCue is awful. Comfy, good looking, and very well built though. Mic is solid too after the firmware update. Can definitely do much worse Moved to the Turtle Beach Atlas Air, which sound better (they are open back so not really a fair comparison), have a better mic, and actual clear sidetone, settings save to the headset so no forced software, and somehow are even more comfortable. Don’t feel as “premium” but haven’t looked back.

Ive had some trash luck with headsets. But here we go: Corsair HS80 has been my favorite so far. Good sound, loud, decent surround with dolby atmos. Floating headband not for everyone but I find it comfy. Razer Kraken v3 pro, the hypersense is fun, but the battery life is pitiful and my synapse would never recognize it. Razer Blackshark 2023 pro. Comfy, ok sound, not loud enough for me. Steelseries Arctis 5. Sonar can step on a pile of D4s and legos. Headset sounds good, software just too annoying for my liking. Would constantly change my non headset sound settings. Turtle Beach Atlas Air. A rare open back wireless headset. Sounds great, also software issues. If I went to change the volume it'd go from 0 to 100 or 100 to 0. couldn't get that to change. Would do it if I set it in windows or on the headset. If they'd all work perfect, The turtle beach sounded best to me. HS80 is a close second. Decent mic on it, would recommend a desktop mic if you're worried about that though.

Nope you can close it and still use it. Only annoying thing is that if you launch the app on your phone then that will take priority

Hi i also play alot of fps like CS2 and PUBG. I have been using Sennheiser HD560s what i was really happy with but i really wanna test out some wireless headset instead of wired. So i tested: Turtle Beach Atlas Air. Most comfy wireless headset i have tried! But I had a problem with software and the gunshot were to loud so i returned them. Razer Blackshark V2 Pro (2023) Was more happy with but razer downgraded eq in the software and the older version of the blackshark you could eq little higher or lower hz. Also the best mic i have tested for wireless headset! So i feeled little scammed so i returned them. Asus Rog Pelta I was more happy with than Razer Blackshark V2 Pro and Turtle Beach. And they're very comfy but i struggled a bit to hear where enemy came from. Good mic BTW i returned them aswell don't really know why. Hyperx Cloud 3 Wireless the second most comfortable headset. Incredibly good battery life! The mic is good to be wireless headset. I have tried a lot of eq with Apo + Peace but didn't manage to get what i want because im a little to new when it comes to eq. But there is a lot good there.The software of the headset is not so good i heard you have to open the software sometimes to get headset eq idk. But i was thinking returning them because i was to used with open back Sennheiser HD560S. I have it a try for some days stock out of the box without eq and good more and more happy with the headset over time where i could hear where enemy came from. So i think u have to get used and eventually you get used to it. I think the headsett is worth it especially if u get discount. I bought mine for 174$ but saw discount afterwards i bought headset so i got refund and payed instead 97$. So im happy with it :) Sorry for bad english norwegian here :P

Turtle Beach is fine if you avoid the Gen2s. Get a gen3 or Atlas Air or something and they are genuinely good headsets.

Atlas Airs are literally the singular best wireless headset under $300. And are arguably better than those because they are open back and have better comfort. The rest of their lineup isn't as good, but they have ok sound quality for a gaming brand headset and fixed the flaw in gen2s.

Epos+Drop is the best for wired. (H3x, H6pros) Otherwise Cloud III's or Turtle beach Atlas Airs for wireless.

Wireless and open back doesn't leave many options, so Turtle Beach Atlas Airs. Closed back the Fractal Design Scapes might be in budget, otherwise maybe the HyperX cloud IIIs

I use the DT990 Pro on my PC but recently I was kinda surprised for my purchase for my new toy, the Playstation 5 Pro. I bought the Turtle Beach Atlas Air and though I expected it to be mediocre the sound is far from that. I chose it because it's an open bank but to be honest I didn't expect much of them which would have been fine until I put them on yesterday. Well, for 140 Euro I couldn't be more happy with them.

TB Atlas Air, best headset I’ve ever owned.

Atlas Air by Turtle Beach is the best headset I have ever used.

Have toy had a look at the Atlas Air. By far the best sounding (due to open back) and comfortable I have used. I’m 43 now and been through all the main headsets.

Review after over two weeks of using. I wanted to buy a wireless headset. First I started looking into Audeze, but after joining the subreddit I decided I didn't want to spend that amount of money on something that might break cause I sneezed. All the different headsets didn't meet my sound quality, mic quality or comfort expectations. I found Atlas Air, trusted YouTube reviews and few reviews I found here and bought them. **1. Sound Quality** Obviously, the most important. It's good and more than enough for gaming. It isn't like the Maxwell, especially when listening to the music but I still really enjoy the sound. I would say that Atlas Air are one of the best gaming headset in terms of sound quality I have ever used. Everything sounds just right and the immersion is wonderful. There are headphones with better sound quality, but they probably won't have microphone, be wireless and light. **2. Gaming Performance** I think this is where this headset shines. These are my first open-back headphones and it really makes a difference. You feel like you are inside the game. They work good for immersion but also they do a great job with footsteps. You hear them better and you have a better idea where they come from. One of the best sound staging I have ever experienced. **3. Microphone** It's fine. Nothing special, worse than Razer Blackshark V3 but nobody is going to complain about your voice. I recommend using 'full' preset for the mic, sounds the best IMO. Also, enabling noise gate does a very good job cutting background noise (don't set it to high otherwise you gonna sound like shit, I use it at 6). **4. Comfort** Lovely, they are very light, ear cushions are nice and don't make your ears sweaty. One of the best headsets I have ever used in terms of comfort as well. **5. Battery life** Honestly, I have no idea how long they last on a single charge. They last very long. I charged them twice during two weeks. One time from 25% to 100% and once for 20 minutes just to see how fast they charge. **6. Software and issues** I heard bad things about Swarm II software but I didn't have any major issues. First issue: when updating them for the first time I had to do it from the mobile app because it didn't work via PC; second issue: Swarm II says that they are set to 16 bit sound but in Windows they are set to 24bit (also they work in 24bit). Besides that, Swarm II is alright. I didn't use superhuman hearing since it makes them sound bad. **Conclusion:** Great headset, especially at this price point. I researched a lot, tested few different models and I don't feel like Atlas Air is a compromise. It's the only headset I found that can do everything well without any drawback (like Maxwells with great sound but poor reliability, like Razer Blackshark with great mic but mediocre sound etc). This headset feels complete. Also, open-back is the way to go, never getting closed backs again. If you don't mind open-back qualities (weaker bass and isolation) I think you will be very happy with them.

No, it works for me. I added little bit more bass to my eq on the first day

I also wear glasses, cushions are super soft so it’s not a problem. Thing with the open back headphones is that when somebody sits next to you to they might hear some louder sounds. If somebody talks to you you will hear them, but definitely it’s not going to disturb anyone in a different room. If you don’t have to isolate from kids running around you screaming you will be happy with open back

Do you find them comfortable? I’m currently testing them but can’t quite determine if the weight—nearly 400 grams—is too much for gaming headphones. Everything else about them is excellent, but I’m struggling a bit with the comfort aspect. For comparison, I’ve previously tested the Atlas Air, which felt practically weightless, and I also own the Momentum 4, which is renowned for its comfort.

I have the PS5 Turtlebeach headset. Got it when I got my ps5. Haven’t had an issue and the sound quality has been great.
