The Turtle Beach Titanfall Ear Force Atlas headset isn't the best looking headset I've ever used, nor is it the best sounding or the most comfortable (though it does have perhaps the best microphone) but it combines good performance in all of those areas to produce a solid all round headset … with a few excellent features.

The bass response is excellent and when cranked the headset can handle an impressive range of frequencies. Mid range response is also commendable, although it can struggle a little to deal with complex music, such as the classical genre. We wouldn't imagine this would matter to the projected target audience.

A large audience considering this headset are doing so because they want to play Titanfall with it, and it scores well in this regard. Explosions sound great, as does the Titan's rockets as they spiral towards the enemy. Enjoying movies on this headset is easy and though I wasn't a huge fan of the padding on the headband, the earphones are comfortable enough that you will be able to wear it for a few hours without difficulty. That said it does feel like more of a workman's headset than the price tag suggests, so bare that in mind when considering your purchase.

The overall build quality of the headset is excellent. It will be able to withstand modest abuse over many months. All of the joints are clearly designed to deal with rough handling and we are confident that this isn't one of those products that will break easily over a short period of time.

Overall, we feel this is a high quality headset that is perhaps a little overpriced, even though it does bundle the Xbox One adapter and a lot of extra cables and accessories. It sounds very good in most scenarios and has a great microphone for chatting with your  buddies mid-slaughter. The Atlas isn't my favourite headset, but it does a good enough job that I wouldn't have trouble recommending it to the right person.

This headset can be found at Zavvi for £115. This seems a little pricey for what you get, but if you regularly switch between Xbox One and PC, it might be worth considering. Bear in mind too, there are alternative Turtle Beach headsets with similar specifications and the Xbox One adapter can be found separately on Amazon for £20.
