Before you begin reading this review, If you just want to read a pros and cons list of the Elite Atlas Aero, skip to it below the following paragraph. If you want a more detailed review, then read the entire review. I make it no secret that the mic on the headset could be better, but if you want to know what my solution was to it, then I will have that written in my conclusion below the pros and cons list.This headset has features that I both really like and really dislike at the same time. To start with what I like about it, it has pretty nice surround sound audio. While I am aware that sound quality is completely subjective, I think this headset sounds proper good. You can even change the sound settings to your liking in the Turtle Beach Control Studio, save presets of your settings, establish macros, etc. It is also comfortable to wear. Like any headset when you first get it, you need to wear it for some time to break it in, which was the case for this headset because it felt like a vice on my head for about two weeks. After that initial break in time, however, I am able to comfortably wear it for long gaming sessions (my definition of that is at least 4-6 hours or so, but I can comfortably wear them for longer, too). Another neat feature of this headset that you will not find on other headsets is it's ability to be folded up if you are going to be traveling with it. I should have a picture of what it looks like folded up on this review. As it says in the title of the product, it is wireless, which is always a great plus. As a matter of fact, you would not be spending this much on a headset if it were not wireless. Since it is wireless, it runs on battery, which is another strength this headset has. I can easily use this headset for 2-3 days (on and off usage, of course) before I have to even think about about recharging it. One more pro I will list that is purely subjective is that this headset looks amazing. It has a black and silver color scheme with Turtle Beach branding on both cups and on the band on the top. The interior part of the cups are made with some type of PU leather that makes the headset look quite premium, and the build quality is exceptional as the plastic feels tough and does not succumb to bending. As for the negatives of this headset, they can make choosing this headset difficult because while this headset has strong positives to it, it also has potentially deal breaking negatives. The worst offender against this headset is that the mic quality is garbage. Now, mic quality is also purely subjective, but both my friends and I have heard what it makes my voice sound like and we can agree that it does not sound good at all. The quality could be comparable to a $20 headset, or it might even be possible to find one around that price point that sounds better than this headset's microphone. To add insult to injury, this mic has not all the time, but often enough, had static noise, which nobody wants to hear (I could not say if the static will be present in all headsets, but it is absolutely present in mine). Another gripe I have about this headset is that every now and then I have trouble getting the headset connected. The headset connects via a USB dongle, and the idea is that you hold down the power button on the headset to turn it on and it connects. Sometimes, however, it simply will not connect the first time. I can always get it connected eventually by unplugging and replugging the dongle, restarting the software (the software can be buggy at times), turning the headset off and back on again, or doing a combination of the three. I deal with it, but the headset would be much better if it simply connected every time. This next con does not affect me as much, but other reviews that I have read on this headset indicate how it could be a problem for some, but not others. That problem is that all the dials and button for the sound and whatnot are located on the rear of the left cup, which is not ideal for people that like to lie down and listen to music because the dials can be accidentally be dialed, thus unexpectedly changing the volume of the sound. The headset would be improved if Turtle Beach simply put these dials and buttons on the front of the right cup because that part is completely bare of any buttons or dials and would solve that problem. Once again, not everybody will have this problem, but the "glasses friendly" feature is not as good as I feel like it could be. I do not wear prescription glasses, but I have a pair that is anti blue light, so I will sometimes wear those when I am gaming late at night. Those glasses are relatively thick, however, so I believe that this feature is not a complete con, but more of a "your mileage may vary" type of feature, as those particular glasses are fairly uncomfortable when worn with the headset on. I believe that is everything I have to say about the headset, and I know it was pretty wordy, so I will summarize everything I said in a list below.Pros-Sound quality is phenomenal (subjective)-Turtle Beach Control Studio allows for customization of sound, presets, macros, etc.-Comfortable, can be worn for hours (keep in mind that like all other headsets, you will need to break it in at first, so it could be relatively uncomfortable for about two weeks or so)-Folds up for convenient travelling-Wireless (obviously)-Long lasting battery (I can get a couple days out of the headset between charges)-Looks great and has sturdy build qualityCons-Microphone is garbage (mine often has static noise) (also subjective)-Getting the headset connected is sometimes challenging-Buttons and dials on back of headset, so lying down and listening to music can be a challenge-"Glasses friendly" feature probably could be better, but I say your mileage may vary on this oneShould you buy this headset? If the price is right, then maybe. If all you care about is having excellent sound and a microphone that is far from perfect, but gets the job done, then you might be interested in considering this headset for its sound customization. If you absolutely need a good mic, then I say look elsewhere. If you do not mind spending a little more, then do what I did to get the best of both worlds in which I bought a separate microphone with a cheap microphone stand. The microphone I bought, which is top quality for the price, is the Fifine K669 USB microphone (if you want to learn more about it, a bunch of tech youtubers such as Linus Tech Tips had good things to say about it). The current price for it is much steeper than it was ($45 now compared to about $27 when it was being widely reviewed. I guess the company realized what a good product they had and jacked up the price). As for the microphone stand, unless you are also doing some type of professional recording or whatever, just get the cheapest Amazon Basics stand you can get (mine was about $13). I would still say the current price is not too much to spend on the microphone, but unless if you really want this headset, I guarantee there is a better deal somewhere else. To put it in perspective, I bought the Elite Atlas Aero for about $130, plus the microphone for $25 (it was listed as used, but it arrived like new), plus the stand for $13, which totals to about $168 to have good sound and a good mic. If you bought the same thing now (assuming the headset is still $130), then you would be paying about $188, which is close enough to the $200 headset threshold, so you might as well get something high end in the first place if you are spending that much money.The price that I think this headset should be is $80-$90, but I do not think you could buy it for that price.
