Latency varies depending on your setup; even though we noticed some audio lag when using the Turtle Beach on PC, which could hinder your gameplay, we didn't notice it via console.

The battery life is excellent, the sound is a cut above, and the features are about as future-proof as you’ll find.They come in Xbox and PlayStation variants, so it's important to ensure you get the right model for your needs.

Their boom mic also offers better overall performance, and they have significantly longer continuous battery life. The app has four customizable EQ presets that, once configured, save to the headset itself — so you’ll only have to do this once.
