According to our gaming headset expert
No, we are not employed by Turtle Beach. Everything you read on this shop, we have written ourselves. That is why you often do not come across words such as 'ideal' and 'perfect'. We prefer to leave this kind of power term to manufacturers who like to praise their products (and too often) in heaven. That said, it is very tempting for us to call the Turtle Beach Ear Force Elite 800 DTS perfect . 7.1 surround sound. DTS. Wireless. And also a tight charging station. Well what else do you want? Okay, maybe PC compatibility. Oh well, you can't have everything.
The Turtle Beach Ear Force Elite 800 DTS is certainly not the first best surround sound headset. Play on your PlayStation 3 or PlayStation 4 with comprehensive 7.1-channel DTS surround sound, powered by 50 mm speakers. Always stay one step ahead of your opponents online with Surround Sound Audio Modes, Dynamic Chat Boost and more. Not in the mood for gaming? At the touch of a button you can adjust the DTS settings of the Turtle Beach Ear Force Elite 800 DTS for games, movies or music, including those stored on your phone. The headset has Bluetooth. A connection with your smartphone is therefore easily made.

I have owned several headsets, the astro a40, the a50 and the Turtle Beach PX series.
I have to say that I absolutely love this headset. It may cost a bit, but on the other hand you also have a headset of good quality, perfect sound, battery life (about 12 hours) and enough (custom) sound presets! The charging convenience may also be there!
In terms of comfort, it is slightly less good than the Astro headsets. This is partly due to the leather ear cushions. But this of course does not mean that the headset does not sit well or comfortably on your head. Quite the contrary. In terms of weight, the headset is also fine.
The operation speaks for itself and is very easy. You must make sure that you do not accidentally press the buttons when taking off/putting on the headset.
Design of the headset is cool and looks nice. The caps are also interchangeable and can be adjusted to your own taste. Available through Turtlebeach's website.
Conclusion: The ultimate headset (bug free) currently available on the market. It costs a bit, but you get a very good product in return!

Beautiful headphones with a mountain of functions, you do have to get started with updates via the PC, but once set up, it is really great, charging the headphones is very easy, you put it in the charger and it looks good right away. The only drawback is that it charges via the USB of your PS4 so you always have to have power on for charging. Battery lasts a long time, I have never seen it empty before I was done. The app for your phone is also very easy to quickly switch settings for, for example, from games to film or music and to adjust the volume. The sound from the headphones is really good with a full bass, and for the games there are presets that you can set up via your PC, e.g. for the games Desteny , dragon age , GTA , bloodborne and more.. If that is turned on at the game ... Simply amazing !

The Turtle Beach Elite 800,
The price of this headset may be a bit on the high side, but it is 100% worth it. When you receive it you notice that it is just a headset of good quality, when you unpack the headset, it is a nice box, which I also find important.
I'll start with the headset design, The headset looks really nice, it is a bit on the large side, but that is also allowed with the sound you get out of it. The docking station that comes with it also looks nice, and if you put the headset in here, it stays upright due to the magnetic connection. This means that your headset is no problem when you have it on your TV cabinet, it just looks nice and you can be proud of it!
The sound of the headset, The sound you get from this headset is fantastic, beautiful and pure sound with a pretty strong bass! You can also give the headset certain settings for the right sound with the right game and music. There are pre-programmed setups with which you can optimize your sound for certain games, I play a lot of Call Of Duty myself and for this you have a setting that the footsteps of the opponent are more audible and this works really perfectly! You can also set the headset to music or movies, different setups are also available for this. It is a pleasure to listen to music with the headset, so it can not only be used for games but also for watching movies or listening to music from your phone! I myself compared the headset to a Beats from Dr. Dre, and the sound of this headset is really better!!
The capabilities of the headset, As stated above, you can do more with this headset than just for gaming, I regularly use the headset to listen to music when I'm on my bike to work! It's very simple because it works via Bluetooth and you can easily pair your phone with the headset. What the headset also has is a multiple device with Bluetooth, so you can pick up your phone while gaming and hear the sound of your game, but you can also call someone in the meantime. You can also adjust the headset setups with your phone via an app. You also have certain mute options for your microphone, for example you can mute your microphone for background noise. If you are at a train station, it is possible to set your microphone for loud background and you will be better understood.
Are there any drawbacks to this headset? Yes, of course, there are also disadvantages because every headset has that. Fortunately, the drawbacks that I have experienced with the headset are not many, but they can be disturbing for some gamers. Because the microphones are hidden in the headset, it does not pick up all sounds around you, if you are in a chat with someone during a game you will notice that you can also hear yourself talking softly while talking. The headset is soundproof for sounds around you, but you can hear these sounds through your microphone. I'm at peace with it and don't pay any attention to it, but I can understand if someone finds this irritating or disturbing! You also have the option to enable Noise Cancellation, but I can't stand that because then you feel a certain pressure on your ears. What is also a bit of a disadvantage of the headset is that it sits pretty tight on your head, my previous headset (Turtle Beach PX5) didn't have that, it just sat normally on your head. The Elite 800 is quite tightly pressed to your head, so that you can get some pain in your ears after playing for a few hours. But for me these are some drawbacks that I can live with as it is a really fantastic headset with really good sound. Everyone who has had it on was really surprised what sound came out of the headset, when you listen to music with bass boost in it, it's like having a subwoofer on in a car. The last point I had was updating the firmware of your headset, this was a bit difficult to find, it is not clearly indicated anywhere and it was a really good search for downloading the program. What many people also talk about with the sensitivity of the buttons on the side, I think is not that bad, you just have to press it to do something. They are a bit sensitive but not as bad as some indicate.
I hope the review helped you, it is expensive at 300 euros but it is well worth it and you will not regret your purchase. Before this I had a Turtle Beach PX5 that was 250 euros and has done well for more than 6 years, it is now starting to get cures and therefore went for a new one! With Turtle Beach you buy quality and not quantity! So if you really want to be able to game well but also want to listen to music, you have both in 1 with this headset!
