Turtle Beach Elite Tactical Audio Controller Review

I have an ATH-AD900X and an Antlion Audio ModMic with a generic USB audio adapter for my PS4. I wanted to upgrade my audio adapter to improve game sounds (footsteps) and thought this product would be the one. The quality of the audio output was definitely excellent, and I love how easily accessible the controls are. Unfortunately I had to return them in exchange for a product from CL (SBX-G60) as the TAC's mic output was junk. I've received many complaints that the volume was very low and there

Love/hate this mixer. I can receive sound from my Xbox, my computer, and my phone at the same time. The main problem with this mixer is that I can't get the mic to work. When I share my mic through the controller's 3.5mm port, it's so quiet it's almost unnoticeable unless you literally put it in your mouth. "OUTBOUND MIC BOOST" doesn't seem to do anything. I thought my TAC was broken so I returned it and bought another one, but the same problem occurred when I replaced it (I've also tried 3…

Having both a PS4 and an Xbox One I decided to look for an alternative to the Astro Mixamp TR as I didn't want to buy one of each as the newer TR -Models are console specific. The Turtle Beach Tac is $150, which is only $20 more than the Astro Mixamp, but will work with either. I know that if you're using a console it wasn't designed for, you can actually use the Mixamp TR on either console if you put it in PC mode. I tried it and the audio works fine but the chat doesn't. On the other hand…

The control options this gives you are amazing. It's really nice to be able to adjust the microphone sensitivity so easily on the fly. There are times when someone is outside mowing the lawn or I have the fan on and it's great to be able to quickly turn on so the mic doesn't pick up those things. The microphone monitoring is also great! I hate playing games with people who have no idea what they sound like and what their mic is picking up and broadcasting to everyone. It makes me a more polite…

Sounds terrible on Xbox One? Not at all. Is the sound distorted? Chat is terrible? Everyone I've played with on Xbox Live says it sounds good (and I've spent hundreds of hours on it.) Outgoing chat garbled when using the charging cable? mmm Several posts in the Q&A say it will happen. It shouldn't come as a surprise. Can the adjustment slides be moved easily? Well, I don't keep my TAC where the controls accidentally move while playing, so that's not a problem for me at all (although I suppose…
