"The truth is, most gaming headsets aren't great values. I've tested a ton of them for our buying guide, and while the space has improved over time, it remains far too centered on branding and marketing. Too much of what passes by my desk comes off as overpriced compared to a good set of normal headphones in the same range, both in audio and build quality. If you have a pair you love, more power to you."
"The hook with the Atlas Air is that it's one of the few wireless headphones (let alone headsets) with an open-back design, meaning its ear cups don't completely seal off your ears from air and outside noise. Pairs like this aren't for everyone: They both let in and leak lots of ambient sound, so if you don't use them in a quiet room, you and anyone nearby will probably be distracted."
Most gaming headsets prioritize branding and marketing over audio and build quality, often charging a premium for a microphone, a logo, and RGB lighting. A few models break that pattern, notably the Turtle Beach Atlas Air, currently discounted to $130. The Atlas Air is a rare wireless open-back headset that lets ambient sound in and leaks sound out, making it unsuitable for noisy environments but offering a more spacious, natural soundstage. When discounted, the Atlas Air can represent a solid bargain compared with typical gaming headsets and many closed-back alternatives.
