Quick connectivity long life battery great sound! Great quality.

Christmas gift for my daughter. She loves them! She said that the sound is crazy loud compared to her old headphones. It's great to hear so clearly! And they are comfortable to wear. I'd highly recommend buying to go with your Xbox!

Great headset! I got these for my girlfriend after I bought my pair. I love the comfort and battery life

My husband was really looking for a wireless headset and we went with this one after looking up specs. He has loved it thus far. The sound quality is amazing compared to the wired ones we usually use.

Great sound works as it should. Its comfortable for long gaming hours works so good i bought a second one so my daughter could have one

Great, sounding headphones and easy to hook up. Distance is also outstanding. For the average gamer, looking for a great pair of headphones this is it.

Best purchase i made for my son. great audio and clarity. easy pull up mic and last a long time. great at cancelling outside noise he never hears me call him while he is gaming.

Good fit, good sound. You can adjust game sound and talking sound separately. I really like this product.

I bought this for my son and he loves the fact it’s wireless and he able to move around without think about if the headset is going to disconnect

I purchased for myself. The fit is perfect. I hear clarity. Footsteps are clear. When on the battle field.

It has great sound, is very comfortable and the price is reasonable

Great Christmas gift for my son. He has been using less expensive ones and they don't last very long before they break. Every one I have asked has recommended turtle beach. They are expensive but hopefully with the warranty will last longer than the other, cheaper ones.

Overall it’s been great. Love the sound on it, and the super sonic hearing mode, has different audio settings which is nice depending on if you are playing games, have music going, etc. looks very nice. Has held up well for a while now. Could be a bit more comfy though.

I have used a lot of headsets and picking up the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 USB makes them my 12th gaming headset, but only my 4th wireless setup. I have another Turtle Beach headset that I have used frequently over the years, and it has served me well. I also have headsets from Corsair, HyperX, Plantronics, Astro, Alienware, and Razer. I use my headsets for Xbox and PC gaming as well as work/conference calls. However, this is my very first Xbox compatible wireless headset – I’ve always used wired options until now. I am pretty familiar with using wireless headsets, and I’m also aware of the inherent advantages/disadvantages. Fully wireless headsets give you extra freedom, but that can come with the cost of added weight (batteries), increased price, and compatibility. The Stealth 600’s seem to mitigate these offsets to a point by keeping the weight and cost down. Build Quality/Design The 600 is a closed back design with a hinged mic and volume/EQ controls. The headset uses a regular adjustable band setup – all parts are plastic. The earcups are wrapped in a breathable cloth material. Each earcup can rotate and lay flat making for easier transport/storage. The rotation point is a solidly made pivot point, even if it’s mostly plastic. This pivot is the same as what’s on my TB Elite Pro 2’s (although it’s metal and plastic), and it has held up to years of wear and tear. The headset is lightweight and weighs about as much as my wired HyperX Cloud Alphas. The left earcup holds all the controls/ports – EQ mode, power, volume wheel, mic monitor, and USB C charging port. The volume and mic monitor wheels have upper and lower stopping points. On PC the volume wheel controls the headset level only – your system sound level is not affected. Turning on the headset requires pressing and holding the power button for a few seconds – it will give a couple of beeps in the earcups to indicate that it is on. Same method is used to turn it off. The mic boom is short and stubby, but it folds seamlessly into the earcup structure when not in use. Flipping the mic out, you feel it hit a bump mid-way before folding all the way down. This bump is the mute/unmute threshold. Once rotated down you can pitch the boom inwards at its little hinge point – you need to straighten it back out before you flip to mute. A boop-beep tone plays when you mute or unmute. Specs on the headset are pretty good. The battery life at 24 hrs is very good – I haven’t had to charge it after a week of casual use. Range for the receiver is 30 ft – in my experience I could travel a little further and be closer to 40ft before it cut out. The earcups come loaded with 50mm drivers, which is which is a more speaker than I expected at this price range (I’m used to seeing smaller 40mm drivers at this price). Comfort First of all, I have a love/hate relationship with headphones that use a single strap versus a suspension band. Some headphones, like my HyperX’s pull it off well while maintaining a comfortable fit. Others can feel uncomfortable after a while because they create a heat/pressure band on the top of my head. The 600’s fall somewhere in the middle on that. Their lightweight design helps take pressure off the top band, but it gets undercut a bit by feeling tight (even when properly adjusted). The all-plastic construction hampers it in the comfort department. Without the flexibility of a metal headband the headset feels a little stiff and tight on my head. Thankfully plastic headbands loosen up over time, so this will lessen with more use. There is also the earcup construction. The material and cushioning in the earcups makes it feel a little stiff, which adds to that tightness feeling. This also interferes with my glasses and gives them an extra squeeze on the back of my ear, but weirdly doesn’t them squeeze in front of my ear. The earcup does fit completely around my ear, which provides some passive noise isolation. The earcup material has some benefits though with heat dissipation – my ears never felt hot while wearing for longer periods. Overall, these are mildly comfortable headsets, but I would be wary if you have a larger head or wear thicker glasses. Definitely check these out in the store and see if the fitment works for you. In comparison the next tier of Turtle Beach wireless headsets – Stealth 700’s – are a noticeable step up in comfort even if the designs are very similar to each other (metal band, plusher/larger earcups, etc.). The one thing I would keep an eye on is the headband – it doesn’t appear to be any different than the Gen 2 headset that this Gen 2 USB is refreshing. There seems to be a decent amount of headband breakage going on with the Gen 2, so I would try to be gentle with these. Compatibility These Stealth 600’s are wirelessly compatible for Xbox One/S/X, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Plugging the receiver into the back of my Series X is the only setup needed – it was immediately recognized and ready to go. The Xbox interface assigns the headset to the signed in account and it detects battery level as well. Plugging the receiver into my PC was a similar experience. The only difference is there is no way (that I know of) to view the battery level. The USB receiver resembles a thumb drive, so definitely consider where you plug it in. The backside of my Series X is a safe place where the risk is low for damage, but it might be worthwhile to get a USB extension cable to make sure it can’t be snapped off at the port. This also has the benefit of giving you slightly better range by getting the receiver out into the open more. When using on a PC there is some funkiness with the volume control. You have to set the mic monitor wheel all the way to the bottom otherwise it will mess with the master volume control wheel (makes it louder than intended). Also, the included manual shows the USB receiver having a toggle switch used for changing from Xbox to PC mode. My receiver does not have this switch, and it automatically recognizes what I plugged it into. I think this is a holdover from the Gen 2 manual (this is the Gen 2 USB model) Sound The 600’s have 4 different EQ profiles to choose from: Signature, Bass Boost, Bass+Treble Boost, Vocal Boost. Signature is a flat EQ profile. Bass+Treble is a V shape profile that boosts the highs and lows. Bass picks up the lows, and Vocals picks up the mids and highs. You can cycle through these EQ’s with the Mode button, and is accompanied by a series of beeps that indicate which EQ you are using. There is also the Superhuman Hearing mode that is activated by pressing the power button once to turn it on, and then tapping it again to turn it off. This drops the bass off completely and picks up the mids and highs. It basically flattens the sound landscape and makes it potentially easier to hear small surrounding noises like footsteps. The 600’s also employ 50mm drivers – something that only 3 of my headsets have. I personally really like the sound out of 50mm drivers over 40 as long as they are properly tuned. They just tend to give me a little better lower range and deeper sound. This felt like the case for the 600’s, which sound great. Overall they are some of the better sounding headphones that I own, and have some of the best lower end bump/rumble. Sound quality-wise I would say they are about as good as my Astro A40’s and maybe only a little behind in the mids and highs. Sound wise I really liked the Bass Boost and the Bass+Treble Boost. Music sounds great under both modes. Watching TV I would switch between Signature for a regular show, Bass+Treble for action or upbeat shows, and Vocal for more talking heavy shows. There is certainly a difference when toggling to Vocals when it comes to discerning speech from the background noise. For conference calls on my PC I changed the EQ to Vocal which was a decent improvement in clarity. It cleans up some of the background noise that comes through on other people’s mics. It sharpens the voices up and makes it easier to pick out a voice if multiple people try to talk at once. I changed up the EQ depending on what I was playing. I have been toggling between Halo Infinite and Wreckfest. For Infinite I had it set to Bass+Treble Boost. It gives the low rumble that I want when playing, but the bump in treble brightens the sounds of shots, grenade bounces, and other important noises. I didn’t care for the Superhuman Hearing mode – I really like games to sound full when I play, and for me it was just too flat. I am more casual with my playing, so I would rather enjoy the sound mixing than deaden out the EQ in order to pick up a slight edge. However, I can say that you do pick up some extra audio cues – footsteps, slides, grenade clanks, etc with it on. Playing Wreckfest I kept it on the just the Bass Boost. The upper frequencies are already saturated in that game, and I don’t need the EQ to boost them any further. Overall, the Signature sound lacked the rumble that I desire but it still sounds good. On something that is well mixed, the Signature would be a good EQ to roll with. Mic The mic is wildly different from what I am used to, but I like it. The mic is very stubby, which it has to be due to its ear cup conforming design. The mic can angle slightly at a little pivot point. You have to turn it back straight to flip up to mute. The Sound quality is great and the built in mic monitoring works well. My teammates can hear me well, and I have used it for phone calls on my PC. It does a really good job of filtering out background noise from the room. I have had my sound system up pretty loud without it being picked up on the mic. Conclusion Overall, the Stealth 600 Gen 2 USB is a solid wireless headset for the Xbox platform. It brings great sound and a number of nice features (mic monitoring, 24hr battery, good range) at a really accessible price point. The only place the cheaper price seems to manifest is in the materials, and headband design.

I bought a cheap headset at first but saw these ones on sale and to be able to have a wireless better headset I was all for it. The microphone turns on and off by just bringing the mic down or up. Love them!

[Employee of bestbuy] Very Easy to use and set up. Makes playing with friends a blast being that it’s wireless and the sound quality is decent.

This headset works great! As a matter of fact, it works so great that I can’t hear my surroundings while wearing them lol.

They sound pretty good actually to be a $90 headphones pretty decent
