The Turtle Beach Atlas 200 for PS5 is "proof that you can still find high-quality tech at cheap prices" and it just got even cheaper

The Turtle Beach Atlas 200 is the best PS5 headset I've ever tested that pops directly into the DualSense controller. While some lower-cost wired headsets like it skimp out on the quality of their audio, Turtle Beach packed in 50mm Nanoclear audio drivers, which continue to lend themselves to any PS5 game I throw its way.

This pair is also pretty comfortable too, and which is why I was taken aback by its low $59.99 MSRP when the headset launched in September last year. That's cheap enough as it is, but Amazon's Spring Sale has knocked an extra $10 off to make it even cheaper. It's now sitting comfortably at $49.99 (Amazon), a price that's more than reasonable for all you get with this pair. If you don't mind being at the mercy of a wire and love being at the mercy of great game audio, the Atlas 200 is worth every cent.

In my Turtle Beach Atlas 200 for PS5 review, I exclaimed that the headset "is proof that you can still find high-quality tech at cheap prices" and that's still true. At the time, I saved it especially for testing alongside indie horror Still Wakes the Deep, and the 50mm-sized audio drivers were able to bring out the nuanced, eerie soundscape of the game's desolate oil rig just as much as its mid-priced rivals.

For the days when I can't be bothered to track down the SteelSeries Arctis 5P Wireless (as it's normally on my gaming desk in another room of the house), I've grabbed the Atlas 200 in its stead. It doesn't have the prowess of the Arctis Nova 5P, and yet its sound has never disappointed me. It's maybe a little on the quiet side than I personally prefer, but the mumbled mutterings of zombies in Resident Evil Requiem and the screechings of the singing zombies were as clear and terrifying as ever.

Outside of the audio, the comfort level is just as high in quality. I've had many cheap headsets in my time, which felt cheap as they dug into the side of my head. However, the pair's 280g lightweight form factor in combination with the well-padded foam earcushions and "floating" headband creates a lovely, snug experience. What's not too comfortable is hearing the quality of the microphone, so if you're an online game fan, this pair is likely not for you.

No matter the settings I played around with in the PS5, the microphone gave off that "plane announcer" sound. You know the one, where every word sounds muffled and indistinguishable from the last. Fortunately, it's a "flip to mute" microphone so you can just pop it up and get it out of your way. But if you were hoping its mic quality would be on par with the sound, you're better off investing in the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5P Wireless instead.

If you could use a new PS5 headset and want to keep your accessory costs low, the Atlas 200 is a great choice, but it won't stay this close to its record low price for long. Amazon's Spring Sale comes to an end on March 31, so I'd recommend grabbing this sooner rather than later.
