Turtle Beach Atlas Three Gaming Headset Review

Introduction

Atlas Three

Tired of your boring old headphones, or maybe your current headset is just getting a bit worn, sounding a little weak? Then enter the Atlas Three amplified headset. It’s still a wired headset, but it features a built-in rechargeable battery pack that’s designed to power a built-in amp and EQ system. Why would you need that? Well, it takes the normal audio, then gives it the added WOMP! and WOW! you may desire. If you’re gaming in a noisy room, or simply want to put the punch back in your movies, music and gaming, this is the way to go.

Now, it’s not the first headset with a built-in amp we’ve tested, as Turtle Beach has been making similar models for many years. However, the Atlas is their latest lineup of gaming headsets and aims to tweak and improve where it can. It still comes with all the usual adornments one would expect from Turtle Beach too, but let’s just dive in for a closer look!

What’s in the Box

The Atlas Three comes hard-wired with a 4-pole 3.5mm cable. This means it’ll hook up to just about any audio device easily enough. However, for PC use, it comes with a Y-splitter for headphone/microphone jacks that also acts as a cable extension. Finally, there’s a standard USB to micro-USB cable for recharging the built-in battery for the amp.
