The earcups are generously padded with memory foam, and they slide up and down, with the adjustment rod in the side of the cups rather than built into the band above – just one of a number of ways the design of the Aero has been updated from the Elite Atlas. The headband is quite wide, suggesting it’ll fit any size head with relative ease. Unfold the headphones from their travel posture, and you’ll find it’s a beefy rig. Unfortunately, Turtle Beach doesn’t lean into this a little more by including any sort of carrying case, but even so it’s highly portable. Pop off the right earbud – it comes off easily – and you’ll find a small cubby to store it when you take the headphones on the go. And no fear about losing the USB wireless dongle. It comes folded for travel, with both earcups hinged to collapse tightly against the headband and, in this compacted state, measures barely five by eight inches. Let’s see how well it holds up.ĭesign and FeaturesTurtle Beach clearly wants you to be impressed with the Elite Atlas Aero’s portability from the first moment you open the box. That puts the Elite Atlas Aero squarely in the sights of gamers who want to step up to a wireless headset, but not have to step down to budget audio performance in the process. Priced at $150, it’s treading into somewhat pricey territory, but is still far more affordable than flagship wireless headsets like the Sennheiser GSP 670 and the HyperX Cloud Orbit S. Turtle Beach retained the Atlas’s 50mm drivers, made it wireless, added a desktop control panel for the PC, and called the new creation the Elite Atlas Aero. Now, the gaming audio company has taken that original Elite Atlas and stirred the pot a bit. Last year, Turtle Beach introduced the Elite Atlas, a solid mid-range wired gaming headset for $100.
