I purchased this pair of headphones more for the Bluetooth and noise cancellation features than the gaming features. There are a small number of headphones on the market that offer both. These headphones did OK streaming audio from phones and other devices. Sound quality was OK noise cancellation was OK. Sound leakage was awful. Anyone around you would be able to hear them. For gaming sound performance they were better than the Sony Gold headphones I have much more directionality and more immersive. I was quite impressed with them for gaming audio. So for focus on gaming a great choice however that would have been my secondary use for them. Also huge complaint while on with no audio playing there is a constant hiss or hum. I understand wireless headphones have this. But this was much louder and way more annoying than any other wireless headphones I have used. I tried the available firmware update for them but still not change in the hiss. I tend to wear headphones with no audio frequently just to quite surrounding noise. Because of the hiss I was not satisfied with these headphones. Yes it is no longer noticeable with audio playing. So depending on your usage I would or would not recommend them. If you are only going to be gaming with them and the other features are a perk they sound great. If gaming is a secondary usage look for other options. Because of the price tag and me not being wowed by them ultimately i returned them and will use my Sony Golds for wireless gaming and picked up the Plantronics backbeat pro for BT audio and noise canceling.
I would recommend this to a friend!

For the Turtle beach Elite 800's that release in a month, does it come with the same benefits that it does on turtle beach's website?

For example, with the elite memember ship does it come wit:2 year extended warranty (currently 1 year for other products) for Elite products only

Exclusive discount & offers on TurtleBeach.com and partner websites

Also do we get the 2 year warranty that it says on the Turtle Beach website as well?
Those benefits are included if purchased from best buy.

How do u program them

How do u program them
If you mean the game presets. That is done via PC connected by USB or from an android device with the turtle beach app connected via Bluetooth. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.turtlebeach.px8audiohub

There does not seem to be an iOS app however.

Will there be a Turtle Beach Elite 800X specifically for the Xbox One?

If so, how before it is expected to be released?
Turtle Beach announced them at CES this year. http://www.turtlebeach.com/showcase/ces-2015
