![]() While the 3D Pulse form factor is nice with how light and slim it is, the Stealth 700 Gen 2 just feels more premium. I also own the Sony 3D Pulse Wireless headset, and overall I prefer the Stealth 700 Gen 2. Turtle Beach sent me both to try out and compare, and I can confirm that the sound seems identical to me, so the extra $50 is paying only for about five hours of extra battery life and Bluetooth functionality. The 600 also seems to be available in either white or black, while the 700 is only in black. These two headsets are nearly identical other than the 700 has Bluetooth functionality, longer battery life, and a slightly larger, more spacious design. ![]() The main point of comparison is obviously the Stealth 600 Gen 2. Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 The competition However, it's leaps and bounds better than the muffled sound of the Pulse 3D Wireless headset from Sony. It's clear enough, and it doesn't pick up a ton of background noise, but compared to some of the mics I've had on Lucid Sound headsets, this pales in comparison. It sounds okay for voice chat, but I would never recommend using it for recording voiceover or anything else. ![]() It's just a very simple flip up to mute, flip down to use, omnidirectional mic. The USB connector doesn't seem to have an amazing range either, but since I use them in the same room as my connected devices, such as a PC or PS5, that wasn't really an issue. It's good enough and still lets me feel the shots in games like Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War., but bass lovers might be turned off.Įven though the sound is overall great, I wish the bass was a bit deeper and more impactful. You can tap the 'Mode' button to alternate sound settings, one of which has deeper bass, but even then, it's not as thundering as some other headsets I've used. I just did a quick reset, and that fixed it both times.Įven though the sound is overall great, I wish the bass was a bit deeper and more impactful. Another time, everything sounded like it was being processed through a garbage disposal immediately after being turned on. In the 80+ hours I've used this headset, it had two moments I'd describe as audio "glitches." Once, while I was listening to music while writing, the higher tones came through as shrill and garbled. The biggest issue with the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 headset isn't even that big of a problem at all. Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 What I don't like It seems to get fully charged after just a few hours with a USB-C cable, and when you first turn it on, it will tell you with a voice notification if the battery is high, medium, or low. Anything longer is probably unnecessary, but with 20 hours, that means if I forgot to charge it for a couple of days, it should still be OK. The previous Gen of the Stealth series from Turtle Beach lacked in this area, but with over 20 hours of life, the Stealth 700 Gen 2 is just right. Headsets become much more usable and reliable when a single pair can do everything.įinally, it has great battery life. I liked having Bluetooth functionality with these, though, so I could easily switch to using them with my Surface Go laptop or even my phone if needed, rather than just something with easily accessible USB ports. ![]() It's unremarkable for the most part, if technically functional. There's also a Turtle Beach Audio Hub app for tuning audio settings from your phone if you'd like, but I never felt the need to use it other than just tinkering with it briefly.

Demon's Souls is the best showcase I've seen, thanks to how it subtly employs sounds from all angles and lets you identify where enemies could be lurking based on the scratching of blades and moaning of the undead. When playing on PS5, it sounds just as good as the official Sony Pulse 3D Wireless headphones and fully takes advantage of the PS5's 3D audio. It's got a very full, robust sound that does a good job of simulating surround sound with music and in the right types of games. Overall, the sound quality is good - certainly above average. Since they engulf my entire ear, my glasses were never a bother either.Įasily one of the most comfortable headsets I've ever worn. Since the ear cups are quite large and fully cover your entire ear, I was expecting them to feel sweaty, but that was never the case even after 8+ hours of continuous use.
