The best gaming headsets can really make or break your online experience. Whether it's facilitating quick and clear communications to help win that crucial round, or providing an immersive soundscape tailor-made for the latest blockbuster game release, a good pair of cans go a long way. While the Turtle Beach Atlas Air ($179) falls a little short of being the premium gaming headset I was looking for, there is still a lot to like about it.
For your money, you get a headset with great sound, that will last you for about a week's worth of gaming without a recharge. The onboard features are easy to use, and if you excuse the headband being hard to adjust, the headset is very comfortable to wear — I love the memory foam earpads in particular. For anyone after a headset to improve the audio experience in their next epic single-player RPG, there is a lot to like thanks to the excellent sound range, which proves ideal for squeezing the most out of a grand orchestral score.
