Excellent surround sound and comfortable but the sad part is Turtle Beach build quality is lacking. All the stress points are made of plastic and over time stress cracks form. Eventually they fail. This is especially true in the headband area and mount locations of the ear cups.
As a result of them failing within the warranty period they were returned.

I have been using wireless headsets for over 10 years. I have owned turtle beach, Astros, and now SteelSeries. I only buy upper end equipment.
Turtle beach has great sound but their made of plastic and do not last.
Astros were made with quality but the battery life sufferers and issues developed around transmitting.
I got the steel series after reading reviews and how most customers raves about them. So far I’m impressed.
The are superior in design and features. 2 batteries for quick swap or you can stay plugged in with a micro usb. The audio presets are suitable and you can adjust through the eq. Chat vs game audio is also adjustable which I like for multiplayer lobbies.
One thing I did not notice in the unusually small owners manual was how you can select adjustable parameters by using the volume control wheel as it also rotated through the menu by simply depressing it. You dont have to get up to adjust any of the controllers features. The controller draws power from the ps4 eliminating the need for an adapter. But their is an a/c adapter port on the back. The company does not include one.

So far the audio has been crisp and clean on both receiving and transmitting. My online gaming buddies have noticed a difference in audio quality as having improved.
The retractable mic has a red led that illuminates when the mic is off. Like that a lot.
The headset is robust and quite comfortable. You can tell a lot went into the design and quality materials, not just plastic was used in their manufacture. Specifically around the ear cups and swivel points. Alloys were said to be used in these areas. I cant really attest to that but they seem strong. Not like loose fitting wobbly plastic headsets.
Im impressed.
I would recommend this to a friend!
