The instructions are also out of date, referencing sections of the PS4 that have been moved to other areas. Also when the battery is low, there is really no indication, the sound just starts to break up and crackle. I found myself constantly hitting them as I lay my head on a pillow, or rest. One of my gripes with the headset stem from one of its greatest features, the touch buttons. The built-in voice also let me know which setting I had. There are an array of settings for movies, games, and music all toggled with a quick press of a button. The levels are also really well done, so no overbearing bass for example. Hearing footsteps behind me, or gunfire from all angles really brings games to life. The Elite 800 outputs in 7.1 and the range of audio is impressive. The sound quality is where it shines though. Overall I was extremely happy with the dynamic range, just wish it also somehow worked on the Xbox One.

The headset also works on PS3 and PC through the same technology, and just as well. It is worth noting though if you do not leave your PS4 in rest mode, charging does not happen.

In addition to being extremely comfortable, it also lasts close to ten hours on a full charge. Trying to wrangle yet another USB cable and an optical cable around my spaghetti mess of wires was not ideal. I just wish the cable management was a little more elegant. Like I said the entire package looks sublime. It uses magnets to lock the headset in place, and it power cycles when placed to let me know it is charging. The charge base is great outside of these issues. Only two USB ports and both in the front was a bad choice. I don’t blame Turtle Beach, this is more a design flaw on the PS4. This takes away from the sleek design as there is now a cable dangling down in front of the system. It also comes with a USB charger cable that needs to take up one of the two USB ports on the front. The headset comes with an optical cable which plugs into the back of the PS4. This is where one of my issues comes into play. The charger base also serves as the hub for the Bluetooth signal. The mic is also hidden into one of the cups, much like the Gold headset, making it ideal for using the headset for more than just gaming online. The headset itself is made from thick plastic that screams quality, and the controls are touch-based on each earcup. While a little weighty at first, the padded ear cones make long gaming sessions plausible. Comfort is a must, and Turtle Beach has always delivered in the headsets I have tested. Completely wireless with channel skipping technology to avoid breaks in the action are definitely one of the best headsets I have used to date, but they don’t come without their own set of issues as well.ĭesign is always important in a headset. Their latest attraction, the Elite 800 is definitely one of their finest yet. Turtle Beach has always been one of my favorite third-party audio solutions ever since I started using headsets. Its ease of use and quality make it the de facto headset for Sony’s new machine. It would take a lot for me to replace my Gold headset for the PlayStation 4.
