Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2 review — Innovating high-end gaming headsets

One of my favorite headsets ever was the Turtle Beach Elite Pro. Specifically, I dug the Elite Pro PC Edition that had the built-in USB connector. By swapping out the included mic for a noise-cancelling upgrade, I had a really decent headset that was excellent for communicating and even for recording voice. The Elite Pro served as my microphone for most of the first 80 episodes of the GamesBeat Decides podcast.So I was looking forward to the Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2, which is out now for $250. And it mostly lives up to its predecessor. At the same time, it also surprised me with some neat new features that set it apart from many of its competitors.The Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2’s sound as nice as the previous generation. They use the same 50nm drivers that provide full sound through the mid range with clarity on the high end. Bass will never rattle your brain, but the low tones do create a noticeable and pleasant thumping.
