If your device doesn’t have Bluetooth (and at this stage it’s pretty much just the 3DS that falls into this category), then you can connect the 800X using a good old fashioned 3.5mm audio cable. Your device should see the headset, and you’ll be able to use it for both voice and audio, so you can answer calls and listen to music. If you want to pair the 800X with a Bluetooth device such as a phone, tablet or laptop, there’s a Bluetooth button on the side of the headset that you hold down to pair. Once you’ve paired the headset with the transmitter and configured your console to output a Dolby Digital Bitstream signal, you’re good to go - the whole process took under five minutes for us from unboxing to playing. The transmitter box connects to your Xbox One using an optical audio cable and is powered using USB. The package includes everything you need to get up and running on an Xbox One, as well as other devices that have a Bluetooth wireless connection or a standard 3.5mm headphone jack (although not PS4, but more on that later). Enter the Elite 800X, which offers true Xbox One wireless compatibility out of the box. Well, it did, but you needed Microsoft’s Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter and a bundled audio cable for it to work, which turned the Elite 800 into a standard wired headset. The Elite 800 lacked one pretty crucial feature though - it didn’t support the Xbox One, the second most-popular dedicated games console on the market today.

The Elite 800 had some flaws and it wasn’t cheap at £250, but we loved it when we reviewed it in February 2015, and since then it’s become our headset of choice for PS4 and PC gaming, as well as when we’re out-and-about.

The Elite 800 looked like a gaming headset, sounded like a gaming headset, and offered all the features gamers could ever want, but in a design that was closer to a pair of “real” headphones than Turtle Beach’s previous offerings. Turtle Beach has long offered headsets at the premium end of the market, but it really went back to the drawing board with the Elite series. But the biggest issue is that the Elite 800X doesn’t support voice chat on a PC or PS4, making them much less versatile than the older Turtle Beach Elite 800 headset. Worse still, the headset is covered in buttons that are so easily activated it’s a real nuisance. The battery life of 10 hours means that the headset will need charging if you use it all day. There are some fairly big issues with the Elite 800X though. It’s not an overly stylish headset - it still looks closer to Turtle Beach’s other gaming headsets than a pair of Beats, but it’s one of the few gaming headsets that we’d wear in public without feeling too ashamed or self-conscious. It feels sturdy, but not too heavy, while the synthetic leather and memory foam earcups are soft and comfortable.

The Elite 800X is a very well-made headset overall.

Then there’s active noise cancellation, which blocks external noise so you can focus on whatever it is you’re listening to. DTS Headphone:X 7.1 simulates surround sound, audio presets tailor the aural experience to specific games and applications, Dynamic Chat Boost automatically amplifies voice comms…the list goes on. The Elite 800X sits at the very top of Turtle Beach’s range at £250, but it has a lot of features to warrant the asking price. It’s currently the only Xbox One wireless headset on the market and the only one that doesn’t need that pesky Stereo Headset Adapter. The Turtle Beach Elite 800X is a premium wireless headset that’s designed to work with the Xbox One and all your Bluetooth devices.
