Very nice headset with one small issue
Been using this headset for a month or so now with my Series X for Destiny 2 exclusively. I also have a Steel Series Arctis 7x for comparison. The firmware on the Turtle Beach is the most current available. The sound on the TB is much louder than the Arctis 7x for starters and my clan mates have commented the mic is clearer on the TB as well. Battery life has been great (on both headsets). I find the Steel Series to be slightly more comfortable and lighter than the Turtle Beach though. I’ve tried connecting to my iPhone’s Bluetooth and - while it works - all heck breaks loose when I get a call while playing. The Bluetooth volume is crazy loud and I can’t get it to switch back to the game after a call - so I disabled the Bluetooth. I prefer the flip up to mute function on the Turtle Beach mic to the Steel Series mute button. The only drawback I’ve found with the Turtle Beach over the Steel Series is I get terrible interference from our cordless landline phones and mesh WiFi pod (I don’t get it while using the Steel Series). It was so bad I had to move the phone and pod to a different location in order to use the Turtle Beach’s. Overall I’m very happy with them though and would recommend them.

Better than Gen 1
I absolutely LOVE the Gen 2 headset, with the cooling pads and the metal band, it actually feels like your getting a premium item unlike Gen 1. It does take a bit to get used to the new drivers that create the sound. Just like Gen 1, these headphone do have same problem of the sound randomly cutting really fast, but I just reconnect them to my xbox and problem fixed. The Wireless Range is improved too, Gen 1 would cut the connection when I would walk into my kitchen or bathroom, but now I can go anywhere in my house with these on and the connection stays strong. I would definitely recommend these to anyone who loved the original ones and for those looking to get a good first headset.

AMAZING HEADSET
This is by far the most comfortable headset I’ve ever had. Great features! Amazing quality! The only and I mean literally the only downside is an occasional cutout/static burst. It’s honestly not that bad but it’s a tad irritating when it happens. Otherwise 5 stars!!

Best bang for your buck
I previously owned a pair of wireless astro a20's which worked fine for the most part, they just weren't comfortable enough for long term use and had constant connection issues. These however with the large cooling memory foam ear cushions and a nice plush headband have been beyond comfortable for me, and they haven't had any connection issues at all you just power them up and boom they connect automatically to your console. Another great feature is that they also support Bluetooth meaning you can listen to music or be on discord with friends all while still being able to hear your in game volume. The app that turtle beach offers is also super customizable to your needs, whether you want to pick what the two volume dials control, to button mapping for "super human hearing " mode(which just feels like you turned all the bass off) and what percentage you'd like to have that capability in effect to. Finally we get to the best part of the headphones to me which is the battery life, it feels like after a few hours daily of gaming these bad boys only have to be charged once or twice a week and they charge up pretty fast too.

These Are Really Good!
I did a lot of YouTube searching for reviews for headsets as I joined a guild online and found I needed to be able to communicate in parties. One of the things I noticed was when I listened to people, they all sounded different, picked up different sounds around them, and other little nagging items that I made sure to look for when I was searching. I think the microphone was one of the biggest factors in my decision. When listening to reviews, and they were doing microphone tests, one thing that was consistent was the microphone quality on the Turtle Beach line of headsets. So I narrowed it down to Logitech out of sheer brand loyalty and the 700 Gen 2's. Let me tell you without a doubt that the microphone was the game changer between the two. So crisp and clear. To test it out, I paired it to my Galaxy S21 Ultra and made some calls. No one knew I was on a headset and they were clean, clear sounding, and comfortable, even with eye glasses. I think I made a pretty good choice. Why didn't I give it 5 stars? Well, I have noticed some brief disconnects sitting just 10 feet away from the tv/console. Not a deal breaker, but still a concern. Also, the desktop app doesn't allow you to tweak some of the more advanced settings like the phone app. That's a little annoying as the only reason to connect to the computer is a firmware update apparently. Make the desktop app more useful. I'm sure there's more. I've already used them for gaming for 3 days at 3-5 hour sessions each time. No discomfort. I even kept them on afterwards to watch some television as they sounded better than my speakers on the tv. For the price and features, these are winners in my book.
