Dead Cells had a detailed, atmospheric soundscape and the whispered voices coming from every which way in Hellblade were just another reminder of why it's so important to play the game with headphones. I wore the Elite Pro 2 for almost an entire day while I was gaming, watching TV and working, and had no real desire to take them off at any point.įirst off, it's worth noting that you can use the Elite Pro 2 in either stereo or Windows Sonic surround-sound modes, and both sound wonderful.
