Turtle Beach Elite 800 Premium Wireless with DTS Headphone:X 7.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset (PS4/PS3)

Product Information

You can simply just use the USB port and select Game and Chat on the PS4 menu. Using this method, you will still get both game audio and chat audio. However, you will no longer have independent control of game audio and chat audio levels. Firmware update required for Nintendo Switch™ compatibility. Please remember to remove the protective film from your Scout Air ear buds before use. The Elite 800X is a very well-made headset overall. It feels sturdy, but not too heavy, while the synthetic leather and memory foam earcups are soft and comfortable. 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.

Connect your headset to the Turtle Beach Audio Hub program on your PC or Mac to update your device’s firmware to version (v.2.0.3). It’s all the more jarring, then, that the Elite 800X has many small annoyances. The headset’s buttons are way too sensitive, meaning you end up changing settings or turning it on accidentally. Battery life is only just acceptable at 10 hours, meaning it’s possible to run out of power before the day is out. On the downside, they’re way too easy to press by accident. 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. It’s also a lot of things to learn when first using the headset, because you obviously can’t see the buttons when you’re wearing it.

Connect your headset to the Turtle Beach Audio Hub program on your PC or Mac to update your device’s firmware to version (v.1.2.4).

To be fair to Turtle Beach, the blame for all this falls directly at Microsoft’s door because of the Xbox One’s use of proprietary audio connectors. This issue has been giving headset manufacturers headaches for the last 18 months, and there’s still not one wireless headset you can buy that works across all major platforms. It’s annoying, archaic and desperately anti-consumer, but then again Apple has been employing similar tactics for many years and earning money hand-over-fist.Improved wireless connection to Xbox One and Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows. TURTLE BEACH AUDIO HUB - Desktop Software The Elite 800 pretty much has it all when it comes to connectivity. Dual Bluetooth 4.0 pairing means that it will work with two devices simultaneously, so you can be listening to music from your tablet and take a call from your mobile. If your portable device doesn’t have Bluetooth connection, such as the 3DS, then you can connect using a 3.5mm cable, which is included in the box.

Elite 800 - User Guide and Quick Start Guide

Wireless range from the transmitter is excellent — we were able to continue listening to our game from a different floor of our house (although why you would want to is another matter). One great feature is that the transmitter has optical audio passthrough, so you can still supply your speakers or amp with the audio and other people can hear the game even as it’s coming through the headphones. Bluetooth range is less good, but that will depend on the quality of your adaptor — as a guide, we were able to get around 20 feet away from our Macbook Air before the audio started cutting out.While the Elite 800 isn’t as stylish as wireless headsets from Bose and Parrot, it’s a big improvement on previous attempts from the company and gaming headsets in general. It’s clearly been been inspired by Beats Studio Wireless headphones, sharing very similar headband, ear cup and cushioning design, although they sadly don’t fold up in the same way.
