Polk 4 Shot vs TB Ear Force Atlas

OKay, so I'm in no hurry to get either but the upcoming Xbox One headsets are looking really promising and you can't beat a good headset with a good FPS. Anyway, both the Polk 4 Shot and Ear Force Atlas (Titanfall Edition Turtle Beach) are roughly the same
price, seem to offer very similar features and are both designed for Xbox One so I'm a bit torn between the two really?

I'm not asking for buying advice as such which would you choose and why?

Universal 3rd Party Headset Adaptor

The headset is on it's way and will be released with some upcoming headsets like the Turtle Beach Ear Force Atlas and Polk 4 Shot. The date that it will be sold on it's own is currently unknown but hopefully it will be sometime around the launch of these
2 headsets.

 

Looking for a good XBox One headset

a few guys i talk to love the atros a40's

XO Four, XO Seven – Turtle Beach

your other choice would be the polk audio

if i went with a headset i would really look at the astros than the tb's... im sure the polks are really nice but the other 2 are gaming headsets and have put time in with the gaming community. astros seem to be a big plus in the streaming/twitch community with the master mix/stream audio capture card.. so its something to look at if you ever plan on going the route.

 

im actually hoping they have a headset that will work for both ps4 and xbox one...so im holding out.

 

[quote user="U Go 6 FT BeLOW"]im actually hoping they have a headset that will work for both ps4 and xbox one...[/quote]I'm not seeing a reason the 4 Shot won't work with the DS4. Check out the

user manual.

I've pre-ordered a 4 Shot from Polk. Figure I'll have a dedicated headset and an adapter in one package.

 

I was going to do that with 360 and PS3 but it seems that you can never get a headset where chat will work on both consoles

 

If you need all-wireless on all four consoles, you'll want a wireless headset that works with the 360/PS3/PC and then the chat adapter for Xbox One. The PS4's DS4 controller has a chat/headset connector built into the controller already.

 

Personally I would go with the 4 Shot. I've never felt the need to buy a gaming specific headset before but I'm seriously considering getting a pair of the 4 Shots. My entire surround sound system is made up of Polk speakers and they sound amazing. Polk
is known for producing high quality audio components at a reasonable price.

U Go, ICESTORM is right, since the headset is also designed to be used with mobile devices you'll be able to plug it right into a DS4 since it doesn't have a proprietary input like the X1 controller.

 

that is good news, heading to pre order one now

 

thous polk 4 aint 5.1 though

 

[quote user="N7 Gh0stz"]thous polk 4 aint 5.1 though[/quote]In general, the surround field is not determined by the headset but by what it attaches to. There are very few multi-driver headsets. If I plug the Polk headset into an Astro MixAmp, it will be
what you term "5.1"

 

I was in turmoil on which ones to get to. Went through 5 sets of headsets on the 360 from the X11-X41, and stopped back on the DX11 which was the 7.1 surround sound wired headset. Since then it was discontinued, and honestly its was just the X11 with
the mixer. Being no reviews on any of the new headsets, I didn't want to go through all the experimenting again, and what I found out was that Xbox One exclusives are nothing special except they have the adapter. Once Polk and Turtle Beach confirmed for
me the adapter is the only thing that makes them exclusive, I broadened my search to all Xbox headsets. After so many reviews on so many different headsets, I just went all in on the Astro A50's. Figured I would only do it once this time around hopefully,
or at least until they break.

 

Most of you have a lot more experience at what is "good" (I know its personal taste) but I have not been able to find out any real tech specs for the Polk 4s. I assume that they will be some sort of multichannel stereo. If that's the case, are they sufficient
to get good "game" sounds???

 

The Polk Audio Melee looks to be the best bet for those who want a 360 and X1 setup. When you get your melee headset, if you register them with Polk they will send you the X1 adapter when they release them. It also processes dolby digital and it's not
stereo. The price appears to be out of whack at Amazon so shop around, but take a look at the info on Amazon's site. http://www.amazon.com/Polk-Audio-Melee-Headphone-Black-Xbox/dp/B00E1L7836/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_0_2

 

I pre-ordered the Atlas headset. I don't know that much about audio as long as long as I can listen to my game sounds and chat late at night I'm good.
