About this deal

Surround Sound gaming headset for PS4™ that uses the Optical Out audio jack and USB port on the console to provide separate game audio (via Optical) and chat audio (via USB) channels, as well as Dolby Digital® and DTS® Headphone:X® 7.

Turtle Beach Elite 800 Review | Trusted Reviews

The headset’s buttons are way too sensitive, meaning you end up changing settings or turning it on accidentally. As part of the new, slimmer PS4™’s updated design, Sony decided to no longer include an Optical Out audio jack, which affects the connectivity and functionality of a few Turtle Beach PS4™ gaming headsets that currently utilize the Optical audio jack. You don’t have to pull out a boom mic every time you want to talk; twin microphones are built directly into the ear cups.They’re located on four axes on each ear cup, which is exactly where you’d normally touch to adjust the headset or turn it off, and they don’t require any real pressure to depress, so it’s a bit of a problem until you’ve used the headset for a while. But the biggest issue is that the Elite 800X doesn’t support voice chat on a PC or PS4, making them much less versatile than the older Turtle Beach Elite 800 headset. If you register the headset with Turtle Beach, you become an “Elite Member” and qualify for two free pairs of speaker plates, as well as other useful bonuses such as a two-year extended warranty and a t-shirt.

Customize your audio EQs, adjust mic monitoring levels and more from your mobile device for your Turtle Beach headset with Bluetooth ®. Each of the ear cups is a rocker-style switch which moves in four different directions, offering eight buttons in total. Right now though, the Elite 800 is a much better option for anyone who also games on a PC or PlayStation 4. It’s certainly better looking than most gaming headsets, and the customisable ear cups are great addition for proper game fanboys or girls. You can mute the microphone, toggle ANC on and off, and adjust the headset and microphone volumes from the headset, using buttons on the ear cups.Turtle Beach’s Noise Cancellation technology has really improved on its Elite range — it doesn’t create the sort of pressure that we got used to on previous generation headsets and instead sounds natural and comfortable. However, it was the right design choice for Turtle Beach to make for this headset, as it keeps everything neat and tidy. If you want to add a bit of customisation to the Elite 800X, then the ear cups themselves are replaceable.

Turtle Beach Elite 800 Premium Wireless with DTS Headphone:X

Turtle Beach has long offered headsets at the premium end of the market, but it really went back to the drawing board with the Elite series. Thankfully, charging is a cinch because the transmitter doubles as a magnetic dock– you simply drop the headset in and it begins charging. It’s a headset that’s arguably most suited to games, but it’s no slouch with movies and music either, particularly because Turtle Beach has created specific audio presets for different types of media. Using this method, you will still get both game audio and chat audio by selecting this on the PS4 menu.If your portable device doesn’t have Bluetooth connection, such as the 3DS, then you can connect using a 3. It’s not an overly stylish headset — it still looks closer to Turtle Beach’s other gaming headsets than a pair of Beats, but it’s one of the few gaming headsets that we’d wear in public without feeling too ashamed or self-conscious. We were using a Macbook Air and an iPhone 6 Plus for this review, so we found the lack of software support to change audio profiles annoying. Download the Turtle Beach Audio Hub for PC or Mac below to keep your gaming headset and other gaming audio accessories up to date. The headphones themselves are very nicely made — they look good, feel great, and they’re comfortable to wear for hours on end.
