About this deal

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.

We mentioned that the default ear covers look a little busy because of all the logos. Thankfully, they can be replaced with new ones, allowing this headset some level of customisation. 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. The Turtle Beach Audio Hub mobile app for iOS and Android has received an update to v3.14.5 (189) for iOS and v3.14.5 (220) for Android. The headphones also boast DTS Headphone:X 7.1 Surround Sound for audio sources that output a Dolby Digital audio signal. This allows you to experience audio as if it’s coming from a pinpointed source, such as bullet fire from behind you, or a car crash to your side. Like all surround sound processing for stereo sources, it’s something of a fudge, and we prefer the pure stereo option, but it’s a feature you can enable or disable at your will. Improved wireless connection to Xbox One and Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows.

Connect your headset to the Turtle Beach Audio Hub program to update your device’s firmware to version (v.2.0.1). For dedicated Xbox One fans, the Elite 800X is great. Setup is a breeze, wireless performance is excellent, and the magnetic charging station is a simple and elegant way to recharge your headset at the end of the day. If you’re a frequent traveller, active noise cancellation is a luxury that soon becomes a necessity.

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. The Turtle Beach Audio Hub mobile app for iOS and Android has received an update to 3.14.6 (192) for iOS and 3.14.6 (223) for Android. It’s fair to say Turtle Beach has had a lot of success in gaming headsets over the last ten years. As online gaming has grown in popularity, dedicated headsets have gone from being a luxury to a necessity, and Turtle Beach has reaped the rewards. Through partnering with pro gamers, releasing a wide range of products covering pretty much every price point, and just making good products, it’s become probably the most famous name in this particular market. A new firmware update is ready for your Stealth 700 Gen 2 for PlayStation ®! Connect your headset to the Turtle Beach Audio Hub program on your PC or Mac to update your device’s firmware to version (v.2.0.6). We also encountered the same sort of Bluetooth problems that have long plagued headsets such as these. We’re talking about occasional audio drops, randomly switching between sources, and some of the controls working on some platforms and not others. The Elite 800 has fewer of these sorts of issues than other wireless headsets we’ve used, but if you’re used to the solid performance of a wired headset, it can be jarring.The main issue for potential buyers to consider though, is the Elite 800X’s limited console support — it’s great for Xbox One, but PC and PS4 chat support is completely omitted. We really wish the Elite 800 and the Elite 800X were one product — an ultimate high-end wireless headset that would work with every major console and device. Right now though, the Elite 800 is a much better option for anyone who also games on a PC or PlayStation 4. The Turtle Beach Audio Hub will be available for the Stealth™ 600 USB for Xbox and Stealth™ 600 MAX for Xbox soon!
