Justt Found your channel and your content is awesome! 👍

[@guybrushtwood]

Hahaha, nice teaser with the Burst 2 Air and Keyboard. Never thought I’d see the Blacksharks dethroned, but here we are! Great review

[@Sturmx]

I'm pretty close to buying these but theres another reviewer that mentions hearing distorted audio/artifacting audio in the Menu/UI's of games. Said he found it pretty distracting. Have you noticed anything like that?

[@5_i_v_e]

Awesome as always!! Mic sounds better to me at 100% sensitivity Thank you!

[@vsChris]

These will definitely be an option for me a few months from now when I get get these used and like new from Amazon. I've wanted a wireless set of open backs for a while now. Ever since I switched from the PC37x I've missed using open backs so much

[@jamesstevens968]

Hi techne i play on ps5 only are these good for ps5 what sounds better these or the nova5 which ones would you choose thank you

[@sugs0377]

How would you compare it to the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro

[@jayvb6133]

Hi love your reviews ❤ i got a small question, with the Nova Pro Wired you said that the sound is better, but can't you use the Nova Pro Wireless with a cable on the DAC for better Quality?

[@jayvb6133]

Or if someone else knows... Im trying to decide

[@IAMIAM777]

Yes you can but if the sound is better I don’t no

[@manleteater1970]

I imagine the lack of simultaneous bluetooth on a lot of recent headsets is due to discord finally being available on playstation. It’s honestly unfortunate bc i love that feature as a pc gamer

[@Noneya5555]

Been waiting for this review. I got the TB Stealth Pro based on your review. But I'm curious about using an open-back headset for gaming, for the larger soundstage. BTW, be honest, T. The real reason you don't like open-back cans is because you can't drown out Mrs. Techne yelling at you to finish your honey-do list. 🤣

[@solris]

should i grab these or the stealth pros???

[@kotztotz3530]

Man I've been waiting for a great wireless open back gaming headset, and this getting the "stinkin' cozy", I might have to grab this...if I can afford it 😅

Do these have "super human hearing" like the 700 gen 2

[@oldandslow8994]

Heard a lot of complaints of these not getting loud enough? @Techne did you find that an issue?

[@TheTechne]

They get very loud. The issues with the volume wheel, if it’s below 60% or 70% it sound very low. You almost have to have it cranked to 100%.

[@bcmrad]

Thanks for the great review! Asked this on another review as well: When using on the PC, does turtlebeach software have the audio device automatically switch between the headphones and your computer speakers when you turn the headset on or offf? I know hyperx and razer dont switch automatically which is pretty annoying.

[@TheTechne]

are you asking if say you turn off the headset, will it go to your primary source (like desktop speakers?)

[@bcmrad]

@@TheTechne Yes, exactly

[@TheTechne]

@@bcmradyes when I turn them off it will go straight to my sound bar that I have connected to my pc.

[@bcmrad]

@@TheTechne Awesome, thanks so much for checking that.

[@bcmrad]

@@TheTechne interesting, so I purchased these but for me, windows never switches the audio device. It still sees the headset as connected, as long as the transmitter is plugged in. Couldn't find any settings for this in the software either.

[@Menelag]

Finally a Open back Wireless Headset ❤

[@Lancelot_-hu9hz]

How does the detail and the quality of the sound compare to the H6 Pro (open or closed back)? Not sure if I'll ever be able to find a wireless headset that sound just as good and detailed (or almost there) without going for like double the price

[@TheTechne]

H6 have more detail since they have a bit more treble. But these have some nice body for an open back.

[@typogram1274]

Would be great to have a video for h6pro alternatives! Since they’re out of production sadly!

[@mikeyhope7577]

Yeah I got these yesterday and used them all day. These seriously have an insane sound stage. It’s even large compared to other audiophile open back headphones.

[@Amaz1ngSp1derC]

Thank you Techne 👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿

[@mitchellnash8628]

FINALLY Wireless OPEN headset. My trusty Sennheiser GSP370s are getting beat, and I've wanted something open.. and looks like Turtle Beach was picking up my vibes and wanted my money. Buying them next payday. Nice job TB putting out products people want. Mic seems weak, but built-in EQ on the mic is nice. Need a higher-tier version, OPEN, with a killer mic on it and longer battery.

[@clawson32104]

Different design as the Nova 5x are closed back and will have more oomph to their bass. The Nova 5 app is also a huge advantage over swarm. The Atlas Air are really only for those that want/need the open back design.

[@MK-bv7ez]

Why is this headset wired when you use a xbox ?

[@TheSMSpider]

MS has a security chip that prevents unlicensed headset from being connected. Unless specified.

[@GD2X]

I just can't do wireless headphones anymore. When you experience audiophile wired headphones (and they don't have to be expensive), you can't go back. This isn't gaming vs audiophile, as they can be one and the same, I just much prefer wired via an amp. You CANNOT beat that set up with wireless. I do LOVE seeing this side of Techne, nothing beats a hyped Techne when he loves a product. Nice job Turtle Beach!!

@@garethg8226 yes i agree, i've tried hyperx and steelseries headphones and compared to the turtle beach, and tb sound much nicer and louder even with the same max volume as the other two. although the tb elite atlas is a bit heavier, it's much more comfortable for me

[@ICON-11-]

I have both multiple turtle beach headsets and the ss nova 7. Although I love my nova 7's I have to agree that turtle beach takes the cake in immersion, their sound signature is close to perfection in my opinion

[@famezy9103]

I truly understand what good audio is at an audiophile level as I’ve been into audio for almost 30 years and I have to say I’ve never really liked TB headsets, apart from their Elite Pro 2 headset. Overall they’re all good sounding headsets, but in my opinion not as good and detailed as SteelSeries. However, Elite Pro 2 is an amazing headset and I still think to this day it’s still their best headset. It has amazing detail and ev n more amazing imaging. I mostly play FPS games and it’s my go to headset for FPS games. I own many headsets including a few SteelSeries like Nova 7 and Nova Pro, but I always end up going back to Elite Pro 2

In your intro you're showing all those things with a black headset on a white table; the contrast is too large, we can't see what you're showing. Maybe next time try showing things with a lesser contrast... edit: I am watching this on a HDR monitor, in HDR mode, maybe the whites are much brighter and thats the reason I can't really see anything details against black items, I'm sorry if the contrast comment is only a problem on my side.

Before update KZbin would be about 50% and headset would be around 65%. The headset is completely unusable now and according to a reddit thread, I'm not the only one. Hopefully you can get through to them about this issue? I'm Canadian and had to order them from the States and I can't refund them so I'm stuck with them now.
