What Buyers Say
Turtle Beach Atlas Air TBS-5101-05
78 out of 100 medium confidence 10 reviews
The Turtle Beach Atlas Air is a rare open-back wireless headset that delivers crisp, natural sound and an impressive soundstage, especially praised for immersive gaming. Comfort and lightweight design are standout features, though the microphone quality is average and the Swarm II software can be finicky with firmware updates. Some users report issues with the mic flip-to-mute sensor causing beeping or crashes, and the volume wheel is too aggressive. Overall, it's highly recommended for those seeking open-back wireless, but best bought on sale.
