Customer Ratings & Reviews

Coming from an Xbox Wirelsss headset this was definitely an upgrade. The sound is awesome in games, music is pretty good as well. I read in some reviews from when these first released that they had issues with disconnecting from the PC randomly. I updated the firmware on the headset and both dongles and have had one single disconnect in over a month of use, so i think its pretty much abated. I also like the volume knobs being on each earcup so you can raise and lower your game volume versus bluetooth. it comes in handy when i receive phone calls when gaming. The only con i have for this headset is the weight. Compared to my previous headset snd my sony xm4s they definitely feel heavier on my head. I do find myself having to take a break after a while due to headset/neck fatigue. It will depend on your tolerance for heavier headsets, although the tradeoff is the 60mm drivers and the 80 hr battery life.

A very solid headset, I like the 2.4 dongle for super low latency and the sound is really good, love having it connected to my phone and pc so i dont miss calls or notifications. Couple cons for me sometimes the sound will randomly sound robotic metallic for abkut 3 seconds then stop not often but it is a consistent issue not a one off, also if i lay my head back in my chair it messes with the volume wheel.

These are the best! Long lasting and super great for gaming! I was also informed you could use them as standard headphones so the noice cancellation will come in hand. Over all I have no complaints other than I should have bought them sooner!

Best pair of headphones I have ever had! The duality between being able to hear PC and Xbox depending on what you’re using is great! Don’t feel overwhelmed while trying to set up, and getting used to the different modes/buttons you’ll get used to it :)

Great quality headset. Battery never runs out. Sounds great and allows me to switch from PS5 to TV output. Im glad the Turtle beach brand is still as great as it was when I used in the past with my xbox 360.

these things are lowkey insane, being able to use my phone real quick without taking my headphones off is pretty clutch. and the 2 usb thing is awesome too, being able to switch from pc to xbox at the press of a button. the giant drivers make bass awesome too. w headset

I got this headset for my boyfriend 2 years ago, he games for a few hours almost every night & they still look amazing and work perfectly. I had no clue what i was looking for but i’m glad i stumbled upon these.

This is one of the best headsets I have ever had. The charge last long I have only had to charge it one time in the few weeks I have had it!!!

Excellent quality second to none highly highly recommend!!

Best headset ive ever owned. And got it at a deal on sale.

Fantastic headset, the seamless transitions on top of bluetooth capabilities its perfect. This headset is great for what it is a gaming headset. I play on PS5 and i have friends who plau on Xbox. I can connect to their Xbox party through my ohone for VC while also having it connected to my PS5 simultaneously. Highly recommend this

These Turtle Beach 700 G3 headphones come in black and white and have a PS5 and Xbox version (I tested the Playstation version on my gaming PC. They are wireless in 2 ways, they support a 2.4Ghz connection and Bluetooth.  I was easily able to connect to them directly from my PC and laptop via their BT.  I could also use the included USB dongles (two) which support either BT or 2.4Ghz RF. When using the dongle set to RF you can also connect to the headphones via BT, so I was able to stream music from my phone and PC (using 'crossplay') to the headphones and still have them connected via 2.4Ghz.  On the bottom of the headphone you can control the primary selection (RF or BT); you must connect to each independentlythe first time, after that they connect automatically. The boom microphone is turned on/off when it's pulled down.  I used it with a phone call and intergame chat, and the sound quality was exceptional (I'm told).  Their Stealth II App allows you to determine how you're connected and to update the headphones firmware (and dongles), if required (it was required when I unboxed).  I have several other wireless headphones, but these Turtle Beach headphones claim to have 80 hrs of battery life, nothing else that I have has more than 30 hours.  I had no problems getting them paired with either BT or RF.   The headphones are very comfortable, but a little on the heavy side, but how do they sound? I listened to several tracks from Boston's first album, and I was presently surprised by the quality and openness of the sound.  I have other wireless headphones that cost much more (but do have with much better noise cancellation) but doing an A-B listen to the Turtle Beach 700's were quite similar. The TB700's bass is actually a little deeper, but the highest highs not as tight, but the higher low end thru mid-range was just as good.  I went back and forth between "More than a feeling", "Foreplay" and "Smokin".  The bass deep and tight, overall exceptional.  The TB700's were every bit as good.  I then listened to Pink Floyd's DSOTM, and was quite impressed by the louder passages in "Time" and "Money". The quiet passages in "The Great Gig in the Sky" were better than I expected.  Some subtleties in the girls' voices were more subtle, but they were 95% as good as something costing much more.  I wore the headphones for nearly two hours and except for being a tad heavy, the fit on my head and the cushioning was very comfortable.  Then tried playing same music from my phone (BT) and from my PC (RF) using the "crossplay" functionality, I could tell there was a difference in the sound, but it was very difficult to say which was better, I think the RF's very highs and deepest bass wasslightly better.  Listening to the deep bass heartbeats at the end of Eclipse, I could feel theimprovements from the RF transmissions. But it was hard tell the difference, and the crossplay does not cut over instantaneously, so a precise A-B is not possible. I proceeded to do some racing on Forza Motorsport, and I was so impressed I started smiling (something I try to avoid) I was very happy with the effects I heard. I then tried listening for footsteps in BF 2042, were they mine or theirs?  Which way were they coming from?  Everything I needed to hear/discern, I could picture in my head in different directions.  And the flying bullets sounded very realistic (I think) as they 'passed' by... impressive.  And I'm still smiling. With the chat mode (which TB claims uses AI to reduce background noise) the sound is very clear to listeners on the other end; here I really like flip-to-mute microphone, a very natural way to mute, and to then restart (much better than a key sequence).  There are volume dials for both audio and mic on the sides of the left headphones, right next to the power switch and ‘mode’ button which features some audio presets.  The headphones are charged via an included short usb-a to usb-c cable.  Turtle Beach claims the low-latency 2.4Ghz has zero delay between the sound you’re hearing and what's on the screen.  To be honest I could not tell the difference between Bluetooth and the 2.4Ghz RF link.  One other feature in the Stealth II app is found under custom settings for both headphones, and microphone.  This is the custom EQ setting for each.  A 10 band graphic equalizer allows up to 5 named custom settings.  This works very well and really elevates the perceived quality of the in/out sound. These are very nice gaming headphones.

I've owned several Turtle Beach headphones in the past, including the Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max and Stealth Pro. While they've all been pretty good, I've eventually steered off from them to others, such as my Planar Magnetic ones, which have been my go-to, here recently. Problem is...they've extremely heavy, so as much as I love the audio quality and such, they tend to get very uncomfortable after about 30-40 minutes of use. So, I seen that Turtle Beach just launched their new Stealth 700 Gen 3's and decided to give them a try, as comfort has never been an issue for me with Turtle Beach, in the past! Let me say that I'm so glad I got these! As someone with a hearing disability (in my right ear), I almost always gravitate towards earbuds. But for gaming, headsets tend to be 95% of the options. My issue is with headphones, the overall volume "overhead" is pretty small, so even when nearing max volume, they still don't get very loud - especially on the PS5. Well, I'm happy to say that is not an issue with these Stealth Gen 3's! As for the unboxing experience, it's pretty standard for Turtle Beach, if you've had their products before. I do love their new-ish purple/black colorway they've started using over the past year or so. The box is sealed on 3 sides, so once you break through that, it neatly unfolds, unveiling the headset inside. Everything is wrapped in a white "bag" looking material, including the USB dongles. Inside the box is the headset, two dongles (which is what this package is all about and a USB-C charging cable. After unboxing, I immediately put them on charge. They must have been pretty low on charge, out of the box, because it seemed like it took several hours for it get topped off. Also, I want to say that the charge light on this thing is BRIGHT! It's probably one of the brightest LED charge lights I've seen on any device I've ever had, lol. While charging, it glows a red-ish amber color and when fully charged, the light (thankfully) goes off. It was recommended to do the initial firmware update of the headset via the Swarm II app. Turtle Beach now allow OTA (Over-The-Air) updates, which was one huge plus for me, I've always hated having to plug everything in to do the manual Firmware updates. So, I plugged one dongle into my PS5 and the other into my laptop, the app detected the headset and both dongles. It began the update and after about 17%, crashed. So, I force closed it and it proceeded back to updating and was successful. It took it about 15 min or so, all said and done, for all three pieces to get updated (headset and both dongles). Overall, this was a pretty seamless experience and I'm glad to see Turtle Beach finally going this route - it's way more convenient, especially for console players! Once updated, I went in and set the "Mode" to Bass and Treble boost as this is the way, lol. Either that or set a "smiley" EQ, which has always sounded good on TB Headsets for me in the past. The first thing I noticed was how LOUD these things get. After several hours of playing Astrobot (the new one) with them, I had to turn them down to....40%. Yes, I have a hearing disability and anything beyond 50% volume was almost uncomfortable for me. Depending on the game, 40%-46% seems to be the sweet spot. On both the PS5 and PC. Usually, headsets sound much louder on PC than PS5, but not here! They are equal on both and this makes me so happy! Now, the star of the show! The dual-USB dongles! WOW. These are amazing and work way better than they should have any right to. Hitting the button on the headset IMMEDIATELY switches them to the other device. I had a game active on both my PS5 and PC and as soon as I hit the button, it went active to the other dongle. Yep, no waiting for it to connect or anything. INSTANT. Honestly, this was a very pleasant surprise and further cemented my love for this product. Audio quality is superb and again, it gets very loud. At max settings, it's loud enough that for an extended period of time, could potentially cause some hearing issues. So yeah, maybe don't do that, lol. BUT....I'd much rather have them like this, with PLENTY of overhead, instead of being toned down and not getting loud enough. I've tested these out with Astrobot, Space Marine II, Vampire Survivors, Black Myth: Wukong, Call of Duty and Elden Ring. All games sounded fantastic and I even had to tone-down the in-game audio for Modern Warfare III. Also, super quick - Battery life has been great and as advertised. I've logged about 30 hours on these. They're rated for about 80 on a single charge and I've nowhere near that. No issues holding charge or anything. Fantastic! Now, for just a few complaints and this is just mostly me nitpicking. Firstly, I hated how these were advertised. There's an Xbox Version, a PlayStation Version and a PC Version. The Xbox is fine, it's the normal Xbox version that works on PC. Same with the PlayStation - it works on PC too and also comes in White. BUT...the PC version has higher bit-rate options for the audio AND mic and let me tell you, at least for the mic, it does make a noticeable difference on PC. Initially, this made my decision between the PS and PC version very difficult. I just don't get why the PlayStation version exists. Just make the Xbox one and the PC one, which also works on PlayStation. If you have a PlayStation system, just get the PC version, unless you want the White color. Secondly (and lastly), the dongles. They're both regular USB-A. I'd love to have seen one being USB-C and the other being USB-A, for versatility. Or both USB-C and just giving us two A to C cables. Why do I mention this? Because on the PS5 Slim (and upcoming Pro), there is no USB-A port in the front and only two in the back - of which one is being used by an external SSD for my PS4 games. This means that being in the back, I can't see the connection LED or know that's it's muted when I flip the mic (the LED turns red). It's fine on PC, obviously, but this just seems to be awkward on the PS5 slim, since both front ports are USB-C... Overall though, nitpicking aside, I'm giving these a 5/5 star! I love them and can see them quickly overtaking my Planar Magnetic headphones as my daily driver, simply because they're just soooo much more comfortable, what with the weight and the memory foam ear cushions.

I love the headset its amazing and works wonderfully.

The Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 is a comfortable, good-sounding headset that can be customized to suit the users’ audio preferences. While the build and mic quality is not particularly impressive, its strengths lie in its audio quality and customizable features. The headset: It is relatively lightweight with comfortable padding all around. The texture of the plastic is lackluster, and for the price I kind of expected that it would be a bit better. The plastic buttons feel a little thin when pressed, and the wheels feel like they could use a little more tactile feedback. The headset has 4 buttons: EQ Mode switch, device switch, Bluetooth, and power. It also has 3 wheels: one master volume, one Bluetooth volume, and one customizable wheel (default is mic monitor). Setup: Updating the firmware was simple via the Swarm app (apparently it can be done on PC as well, though the instructions recommended using the app). The process involved plugging in both transmitters and connecting the headset to the phone via Bluetooth. The update took about 8-10 minutes. Connectivity: After setup, one of the USB transmitters needs to stay plugged into the PC, and simultaneously Bluetooth connected to the phone. The second USB transmitter can be put away or plugged into another device (in my case I used another PC), and switching between them is seamless with a press of the mode switch button on the headset. App Features: The Swarm app is also used to: -View battery level and master level volume -Enable ‘Superhuman hearing’ -Adjust mic settings such as muting the mic, enabling/adjusting noise gate, adjust mic monitoring volume (which also can be changed via the customizable dial on the headset), change presets (4 presets, 5 custom presets) - Remap one of the headset wheels and mode button, enable voice/tone prompts, change auto shut off time -Change USB transmitter LED brightness Comfort: The headset is comfortable and relatively lightweight, which is great for long gaming sessions. I don’t usually wear headphones since I have had bad experiences with them in the past (too hot, heavy, uncomfortable), but I really like the padding on these and feel like I can wear them for a while. To me it still gets a bit warm, but not as bad as I expected. When turning my head, the headset does shift slightly, but I’ve gotten used to it. It's also glasses-friendly, as the soft ear pads don't press against my glasses uncomfortably. Discord/Mic Test: With the Mic Test in Discord it sounded okay to me, but my friend listening to me said I sounded “kind of congested the whole time’. In addition to the 4 Swarm II app microphone EQ presets, I’m glad they included 5 custom EQ profiles, which helped me sound clearer (or at least in my opinion within the Discord mic test). When the mic is flipped up/back into the headset the microphone automatically mutes. Audio quality To me, one of its greatest strengths is the audio quality and the ability to create custom presets. Music sounds well-balanced and enjoyable, while gaming audio—particularly in action-packed moments—felt bass and sub heavy by default. The low frequencies were almost overwhelming during explosions and chaotic moments, which can enhance immersion in single-player games but become distracting in multiplayer FPS games. This is where the custom EQ settings really came in handy. I didn't find the 'Superhuman Hearing' feature particularly useful. In games like CS2, it made it harder to focus on what was happening in front of me. The ability to have five custom EQ presets via the Swarm app is fantastic. However, if you don’t use the app to change the presets and rely on the EQ switch button on the headset, you’ll need to cycle through all the default presets first (Signature Sound, Bass Boost, Bass and Treble Boost, Vocal Boost) before getting to the custom presets. A nice feature is the ability to connect to both Bluetooth and PC audio simultaneously, with dedicated volume controls for each. Battery: I haven’t had a chance to fully do one battery cycle, but it dropped about 1-2% in the hour it was connected to my PC and phone while gaming and listening to music. It is advertised to have an 80 hour battery. Overall, the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 offers great audio quality and customizable settings for both gaming and general use. While the build quality and microphone performance could be improved, its comfort and features—particularly the customizable EQ and simultaneous Bluetooth/PC connectivity—make it a decent choice for anyone seeking a versatile gaming headset.

I've tested many headsets in my day and the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 while impressive in some aspects, still has a few drawbacks that makes me wary from giving it 5 stars, however I think the pros definitely outshine the cons. Lets do a pro and con list. Pros: - The audio quality. No joke probably one of the only headsets i've tried that legitimately sounds great out of the box. No tuning needed. These are 60mm drivers as well which as far as I know is some of the biggest drivers out there. - Comfy and big I have pretty big ears and my ears fit comfortably inside. While I did enjoy these earpads, they do overheat after a long session. Headset can also adjust to big heads. -Build quality. These look and feel nice. I am in love with the style of this headset, super sleek. -Headset mic. Sounds great, honestly. Better than 99% headset mics. -Battery. This thing lasts. Advertised 80 hour battery life and as far as I can tell, its accurate. -Comes with two 2.4hz connections. This allows to easily switch between a 2.4 connection from PC to an xbox or pc with a touch of a button. Pretty cool. Connection was also solid throughout the house. -Bluetooth. Specifically simultaneous. Definitely a nice plus in headsets nowadays. You can connect to your pc and your phone and easily hear notifications. Cons: - Software. Unfortunately like 90% of gaming headsets the software is just so disappointing. You can do the basics like change and adjust EQ with a few presets but thats about it. Theres supposedly some way to use chatmix but I couldn't find it. Also alot of unexplained adjustments like "Superhuman hearing" as far as I can tell it just boosts audio so you can hear footsteps but honestly it sounds so terrible I can't even recommend using it. - Weird Audio bug on pc? I had a situation where audio would stop coming through my headset but still play on my pc. Turning off the "Waves" enhancement on my pc seemed to fix this issue. Not sure if this was just my pc. -Weight of the headset. Definitely pretty heavy. I tend to like my headset on the heavier side but this was a little too heavy for my taste. -Weird setup? Perhaps this is fixed but the headsets required a firmware update that could only be performed through downloading the swarm app on the phone. There is also a Swarm PC app but that does not appear to work for the update. Conclusion: The quality of this headset shines very much. The build and feel alone are worth the price. If you care about audio and don't mind subpar software (with some possible bugs), I definitely think these are probably the best on the market right now. Plus, the software is receiving updates pretty frequently. If I could i'd give this around 4.5 stars right now but because i can't and because of the potential, I lean towards 5 stars.

The new Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 has impressed me for a wireless gaming headset! It’s great not having to deal with wires and you’re getting a truly rich sound for gaming & general music listening. Unboxing/setup: The unboxing is really simple - you’re presented with the headset right away, a charging cable, and 2 USB transmitters. Why 2? That’s because you can easily swap between PC and your major consoles if you have them hooked up. IMPORTANT NOTE: PC version of this headset will not work with Xbox. First thing you will actually want to do is download the Turtle Beach Swarm II software and update BOTH the transmitters and headset itself. While you’re at it you can also tweak the sound profiles, change mic settings, and more. I’ve used the new Swarm II software before on the mice and it’s much better and cleaner to use compared to the old version. Design: This headset is BIG and depending who you are you might like that or not. For me personally I don’t care as long as it’s comfortable and sounds good. It’s also rather heavy at around 407g. It’s a mix of metal and mostly plastic while the earcups themselves are made of a nice plush material. You will find a lot of extra controls on both sides - volume control, microphone gain, mode switch (console/pc), EQ switch, bluetooth switch, and the power button itself. phew that’s a lot… I don’t like this aspect of the headset and would have much preferred less and more simpler controls. At least the microphone is nicely hidden and can be popped out when needed. Lastly for the design I wanted to talk about a small issue I had and that’s the correct orientation of how to wear these - there is no L/R label so you will have to remember that the left side is where the microphone sits. Comfort: Overall the headset is comfortable even for long gaming sessions! You’re able to tweak the fit in a variety of ways and because of the large nature of this headset I think most people will be able to find something that works for them. The weight was not a problem and I didn’t find it digging into my head. Wireless connectivity/battery life: I’ve had a couple wireless gaming headsets in the past and mostly gave up on them because of stability issues, so I’m happy to report that I have no such problems with this pair. Everything is on point - no noticeable latency, lag, stutters, and you just hear everything like it was meant to be heard. I could also walk around the house and I never dropped connection on both 2.4GHz and bluetooth. Battery life is rated at 80 hours and I was roughly getting those numbers from my testing - it’s awesome not having to worry about battery life and those percentages really go down very slowly! These also charge fairly fast so that’s a nice bonus as well. Sound quality: What you actually hear is for me the most important aspect of any headset - the sound is truly amazing on these! * I tested everything using the “Treble and bass boost” EQ which is what I recommend for the best experience. In-game (Counter-Strike 2) right off the bat I could more precisely hear footsteps and firing sounds. I actually play on a really low volume setting so it was a pretty impressive experience considering that. Listening to music was also a really good experience - the volume and quality is outstanding! Anything beyond 50% is incredibly loud and still detailed. I don’t think I’ve ever used a headset that got this loud! Details are great, bass is rich, and treble is pretty good as well when you tweak it. I have no complaints about the sound quality, the 60mm drivers are legit! Microphone quality: I would say the microphone is just average - * tested using the stock settings. Everyone was able to hear me clearly but I certainly didn’t sound amazing. What was good is that even though I had some fans running the background the mic did not pick those up. Lastly the position of the mic is not able to be tweaked much in terms of positioning, so it’s mostly one size fits all. I highly recommend this headset especially if you want something wireless that sounds extremely good! Pros: * Comfort * Quality of materials * Sound quality * Crossplay * Software Cons: * Microphone could be better

Overall these headphones provide an immersive gaming experience due to the large dual drivers and well designed earcups that fully surround your ear. The fit and feel was good but some may find the weight bothersome especially over long gaming sessions. I liked having two devices connected simultaneously using the included USB dongles or using the USB dongle and Bluetooth capabilities. Bottom line these Stealth 700 headphones performed consistently well whether I was gaming, listening to music or taking a conference call. Pros: - Good overall sound quality especially when gaming and using the EQ features - Dual wireless dongles included - Simultaneous Wireless and Bluetooth connectivity - Separate Bluetooth and wireless controls on the earcups - Good battery life Cons: - Comfy to wear but they are heavy which is felt while wearing - Limited amount of button reprogramming options - Has sound isolation but no true Noise Cancellation - No case Performance: One of the best features with this headset is the ability to use the two included USB wireless dongles simultaneously or a wireless dongle and a Bluetooth connection simultaneously. You switch between the connections using the CrossPlay button on the earcup. These headphones have the largest drivers I have seen in a headset and when you look into the earcups you realize how big the speakers really are. The overall sound quality both for gaming and music is quite good. There are four default Equalizer presets but I found that I preferred to create my own for gaming and music using the 10 band Equalizer in the Swarm app. I am not sure if it is the larger drivers or the overall earcup design but I found myself having to increase the volume over my normal settings to get the same amount of detail and sound quality. I could still hear at my normal levels but it just seemed like these needed a higher volume to give you the same impact. The pull down microphone worked well and there are several adjustments in the Swarm app to help tune it to your environment. For gaming there is the SuperHuman Hearing option that does elevate the background sounds which can be useful for FPS and battle type games. Fit and Feel / Operation: These headphones are big, solid and heavy. Because they have supple earcups and soft foam padding they aren’t uncomfortable but you definitely know when you are wearing them. I wear glasses when gaming and I found that they did not interfere or pull on my glasses. Due to the deep earcup design they do a decent job of sound isolation but they don’t have Noise Cancellation or a Pass through mode. Both earcups have buttons and controls, some of which can be reprogrammed using the Swarm app. The left ear has the Power and Mode buttons along with volume control and microphone control. On the right earcup you have the Bluetooth volume, Bluetooth Function button and the CrossPlay button that allows you to switch between devices.

SOUND 10/10: I was interested in this guy for a lot of reasons. Most notably the new 60 mm Eclipse Dual Drivers with separate woofer and tweeter. And boy, they do not disappoint. The clarity here is EXCELLENT. The directionality (where someone is located in 3D space) is probably the most accurate I’ve tried. Explosions sound terrific. Crisp highs and mids for vocals are great. One of the few headsets that has true multi-purpose where I’m happy to listen to music, watch TV/movies, play single player games, or competitive multiplayer games and it does a fantastic job on all of them. Usually, a gaming headset will only do good in one or two of those situations. Sound quality here is a 10/10. Does support 24-bit 96,000 Hz wireless gaming audio mode on PC only. COMFORT 10/10: As for comfort. The earcups are huge. All ears will fit. Clamping force is light. Maybe a bit too light. Where if you lay down, they fall off your head. But I think that is one of the things that makes these so comfortable. Sometimes getting a full seal is hard due to that as well. Which requires minor adjustment. ProSpecs glasses relief tech works wonderful. I’m able to wear these all day long without getting temple pain with my glasses. The hybrid leatherette and athletic weave fabric keeps my ears cool, provides really good noise isolation, and is exceedingly soft and plushy. Good movement for the joints as well. Overall, probably one of the most comfortable headsets I’ve ever tried. Zero complaints here. CONTROLS 10/10: I’ve never seen better controls on a headset. On the left side from top to bottom you have your mode button which switches between four presets (which you can change in software and can be custom with a 10 band EQ), game volume wheel, voice volume wheel (when setup correctly), USB-C for charging, and a power on/off button with LED that notifies you of things. On the right earcup you have your CrossPlay Wireless button which will switch to your second dongle. Then a Bluetooth volume wheel, and last your Bluetooth multipurpose button (single press play/pause, double skip forward, Triple skip back). Along with an LED to notify you if connected or not. On the front left you have your retractable microphone. Which actually folds a bit towards your mouth for better positioning. It folds fully up into the headset where it lays quite flush making it pretty invisible. Additionally, the dongle will flash red notifying you are muted. As it is flip to mute. Also, like that you can put these around your neck comfortably as they lay flat. CrossPlay feature is really neat. You just press the button and instantly you are connected to the other dongle. CUSTOMIZATION 9/10: Inside the Swarm II App you can adjust nearly everything you could think of. Including noise gate, mic sensitivity, mic monitoring, mic presets, sound presets, remap wheel and mode button, 10-band EQ, how bright the dongle USB is, how loud the beeps on the headset are. My only complaint is that when I was first updating the headset it took forever, and I had to restart multiple times to get it to complete. I did this through my phone as that was what was recommended. They do have a PC app now too. It’s lightweight so not resource intensive. But if you have multiple Turtle Beach products they seem to have an individual product for each device which is frustrating. BUILD QUALITY 8/10: Main hinge is metal, but I think I saw one reviewer say the internals were plastic. The rest of the headset is mostly plastic. While it feels like high quality plastic, and I get no creaking it worries me a bit on durability. Moreso for those who are aggressive with their products. All buttons feel good to press. Wheels scroll nicely. None of them are loose in the socket. It’s a very large headset. BATTERY LIFE 10/10: 80 hours. 15-minute quick charge gets you 3 hours of play time. Can play while charging the headset. No complaints here. MICROPHONE 9/10: Uni-direction, flip-to-mute, has high-bandwidth on PC, which performs great for a wireless PC microphone. Turtle Beach continues to be one of the best when it comes to mic monitoring. My voice had good clarity while still having the lower end timbre of my voice making me sound mostly natural. Good enough that I’d use it for a YouTube video. Additionally, would use it for making calls. Has a slight amount of “headset” sound where you can tell I’m on a headset. But not nearly as bad as most. Also, got plenty loud. Flip to mute does not make a noise and is silent. Didn’t get peaking. Again, they did a fantastic job here. CONS: - Both of my wireless dongles are not great. One of them refuses to turn on about 50% of the time. The other one is spotty and loses connection semi-regularly. Despite being in a clear line of site with nothing else around it. So, I think both of them are semi-faulty. - Bluetooth 5.2 connects extremely fast. However, trying to pair to a new device is frustrating. As holding down the button doesn’t put it back into pairing mode. Seems like you have to disconnect from another device first. Do think some user error is happening. But due to them changing the usual song and dance compared to everyone else. But everything else is great. Had no issues with dropouts or it disconnecting. - Technically, my Stealth Pro and A50X sound a bit better. This has better directional quality and perhaps bass. But the other two have a full sound. For example, this is say 9/10 and those are 10/10. Minor difference. I’d pick this guy for the price almost all the time. - Updates are spotty (fail often), slow, and difficult.

Let me just get this out of the way. I love these headphones. They are super comfortable, the sound is great and I can easily transition from my PC to my PS5, all while keeping my phone connected at the same time. Ok, now let's go in to why these are such a great set of headphones. Sound. When choosing your headphones, gaming or otherwise, the sound quality is usually going to be paramount. These would be useless if the sound wasn't helping the game I am playing. I want to hear separation in sounds, be able to tell where sounds are coming from, and give me some nice bass when things are getting chaotic in the game. On al 3 things these Stealth 700 from Turtle Beach deliver. I tried a variety of games on both my PC and PS5 and each allowed me to really get immersed into the game. We played some COD, WoW, Fortnite, RD2, BM:W, and Star Wars Outlaws. These all sounded great, especially the new Outlaws game. They have a few stealth missions where the sound is super important. It was great having the sound add another level of tension, trying to listen for sounds around the corner. The next it on the list is comfort. Again, sound is great but if you can't wear them for an extended amount of time then they will end up in the clearance rack. Luckily, despite my initial thought that these cans were pretty heavy, these are very comfortable to use for long periods of time. I don't get to game very much, but when I do it's usually for long stretches. I spent most of this past weekend playing WoW wearing these, and I am happy to report that I never felt fatigued from using the headphones. Also, just as important, the battery kept these working the entire time. The last point, and my favorite thing is that I can have these connected to my PS5 and PC without having to change USB dongles. You get 2 dongles, one I have connected to the PC and one to the PS5. This makes it even easier to flip from one to another. My PS5 is tucked behind my gaming setup so it's a pain to get to it to keep moving the dongle around so this was a great workaround. You get the 2 dongles to connect to devices, plus you can keep your phone connected using Bluetooth. This is also convenient if someone is calling and you need to talk to them really quick, or if you want to play music on your phone while you are gaming. All of these great things, but there was one hiccup that I came across. As soon as I took these out of the box they needed to have the firmware updated. I tried to update them 3 times, and each time it looked like it was about to be done but then I would get an error that said I needed to restart them and try again. Finally, on the fourth attempt it was successful, for that attempt I connected both of the USB adapters to the PC so I am not sure if that helped it or was just a coincidence . I really love everything about these headphones. The sound is great, plus you can easily customize it with the EQ. The build is great, they feel comfortable while feeling robust enough to last for a while. The battery life is great, USB adapters.
