I’ve reviewed a few Turtle Beach headsets right here previously, such because the jumbo Elite Pro and altogether tiddlier Recon 150, however you realize in addition to I that Turtle Beach as an organization have at all times favoured console-orientated headsets somewhat than good previous PC ones – living proof: the Stealth 300 which solely comes with a mixed headphone and microphone jack connection and nothing else.
Well, all that’s about to alter on the finish of September, as Turtle Beach have introduced that they’ve received a brand-new PC headset sequence on the best way referred to as Atlas. Consisting of three headsets altogether – the Elite Atlas, Atlas Three and Atlas One – Turtle Beach are hoping there’s one thing for everybody right here, so let’s take a bit have a look at what’s in retailer.
It will most likely come as no shock to listen to that each one three headsets have been designed along with 1,000,000 esports groups with a purpose to uncover what ‘the one true PC gamer’ really desires from their sport audio. That appears to be ‘the in thing’ today, however there are many extra smart issues happening right here than the advertising bumpf may suggest, doubtlessly making not less than considered one of them best gaming headset materials.
Starting with the £90 Elite Atlas, this one comes with a steel headband and suspended head pad for further consolation – making it not too dissimilar from the somewhat glorious Steelseries Arctis 7. The reminiscence foam ear cups are additionally constructed with Turtle Beach’s glasses-friendly ProSpecs design in thoughts, in order that they shouldn’t begin pinching the aspect of your head after prolonged use, and the mixture of the their cloth and artificial leather-based supplies is meant to assist block out some other pesky noises coming out of your environment.
The Elite Atlas’ mic is totally detachable, too, so you possibly can potential put on the headset out and about with out feeling like a idiot within the course of, and it comes bundled with a 3.5mm and PC splitter cable so can you utilize it with each PCs and laptops with none fuss.
The center Atlas baby is the £70 Altas Three. This drops the suspended headband design for a extra conventional padded method, and has a flip-out mic not in contrast to the Stealth 300’s. You nonetheless get the ProSpecs assist and steel bolstered body, nevertheless it lacks all the additional pro-tuned Nanoclear speaker bells and TruSpeak mic whistles you’ll discover on the Elite.
In truth, it seems to be just about the PC equal of the Stealth 300, because the Atlas Three has the identical Boost preset tech that requires a chargeable battery setup regardless of being a fully-wired headset anyway. Hopefully it should include a correct PC splitter within the field this time.
Finally, we come to the entry-level Atlas, the £40 Atlas One. This one has barely smaller 40mm audio system in comparison with its 50mm siblings, nevertheless it’s good to see that steel bolstered headband make one other look, in addition to the flip-out mic and ProSpecs-friendly ear cups – though this time the latter are merely made out of leather-wrapped reminiscence foam and don’t include any type of cloth within the combine.
With all three as a result of arrive on the finish of September, it received’t be lengthy earlier than I may give them a attempt myself, both. Watch this area.
