The preset options for the headset's Movie and Music modes are more straightforward by comparison, each offering a version of Signature Sound in addition to genre-specific profiles. Shooter, Superhuman Hearing and Footstep Focus modes do have their differences - shooter mode amps up low-end sound while Footstep Focus, as its name suggests, highlights footsteps - but I wish they could have been combined into a single preset for giving players a competitive edge. While Superhuman Hearing definitely serves its purpose, I couldn't help but think that some of the other settings should have been combined.
Superhuman Hearing is the clear star of the show here - when playing Halo, the preset amplified the sounds of faraway gunfire and enemy movement that would normally get lost in the more bass-heavy Signature Sound mode. The headset's Game Mode consists of six presents: Signature Sound (Turtle Beach's default offering), shooter, racing, sports, Superhuman Hearing and Footstep Focus.
Some gamers might love such a wealth of options, but I was a little overwhelmed by them, especially when some presets didn't seem necessary. The Elite offers a total of 18 sound presets across four modes. The Elite highlighted the furious distorted guitars and aggressive vocals of heavy rock tracks from Silverstein, and gave some serious bounce to the thumping bass and raspy rapping of Kendrick Lamar's "King Kunta." Sound Presets: Too Many Modes When I had to put my controller down to do some dishes, the Elite 800X became a dependable pair of Bluetooth headphones for my iPhone. Every sound produced by my reckless driving was ear-pleasingly crisp, from the screeching of rubber to the revving of my engine to the thud of my car hitting a street light.
The headset continued to impress when I switched gears to the high-speed racing of Forza Horizon 2: Fast and Furious.
