Our Verdict
HyperX Cloud Flight S
Turtle Beach Elite Atlas Aero Wireless
The HyperX Cloud Flight S are better wireless gaming headphones than the Turtle Beach Elite Atlas Aero Wireless. The HyperX are more comfortable, have better controls, and feel much better built. They also have a better recording quality and work with both PC as well as PS4, unlike the Turtle Beach that are only compatible with PC. That being said, the Turtle Beach can also be used wired, and have better companion software with a Graphic EQ to change how they sound.
