Not the best head phones for gaming if you have more $$$ pick something else

Went through the setup process as the instructions say to do. The first set would not pair at all. Exchanged them and got a brand-new set. The second set doesn't allow game chat on any game. Went through the reset process on both sets and still did remedy either issue. Will never invest in the brand again.

I needed a quick headset becasue I was in a pinch and saw a fancy TurtleBeach blutooth headset and decided why not. The build quality isn’t the greatest at all and when I started talking in a party with friends they said it was probably the worst sounding microphone they have heard.

Ever since I plugged in the headsets I have had constant freezing of my game or being unable to load it. Husband gave me his old headset and he took these…once he plugged them in he had the same issues! I have an Xbox X, he has an Xbox S

I like it is really comfortable the audio sounds good and has a good battery life

SUMMARY: The Turtle Beach Stealth 600 is a good middle of the road gaming headset. It’s a good bargain in its price range. Its functions and features definitely cater to the needs of the gamer as apposed to just music listening. It is a little tight on my head, but then I have to let the adjustment of baseball caps all the way out so I’m the outlier, not these headphones. FEATURES: - Quick and easy wireless hook-up to the Xbox one or Series X/S - Good Surround-sound effects specifically for gaming. That is, the sides and rear are a little over-pushed, but that is actually good for detecting enemies behind you. - Lag-free 2.4GHz Wireless Connection - 24+ Hour (estimated) Battery Life - Separate adjustable Microphone and Speaker Volumes - Sound Setting that emphasize different frequencies to make high-pitch sounds like gunshots more or less noticeable. - One Year Limited Warranty. PROS: • Quick Setup • Can be used while wearing glasses • Has features making it suitable for gaming CONS: • Volume Controls are hard to locate while wearing the headset and I found that when looking left while supported by a head cushion, contact was made with the volume wheel which changed the volume. CONCLUSION: A good choice for an entry level gaming headset.

The Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 USB, while not having the best name out there, is an “upgrade” of sorts of the Stealth 600 Gen 2, which itself came out last year to replace the Gen 1. While the headset design stayed the same over the “classic” Gen 2, Turtle Beach has changed the connectivity type for the Xbox version that I have been using. The previous version was compatible with the Xbox Wireless protocol, meaning no extra dongle was required to connect it. However, with the Gen 2 “USB” version, a USB-A dongle is there for the connection. The headset itself has the classic Turtle Beach form-factor. While not flashy and laden with RGBs and other blings, the look still has a “gaming” vibe to it with large ear-cups and thick headbands. Both the earcups are covered with some kind of sweat-wicking fabric material, with a foam insert. It is not as plush as other premium headsets, and does not have any cooling gel tech, I was able to use it without discomfort for hour-long gaming sessions. I personally always feel more comfortable using fabric-wrapped headphones compared to leather/pleather types. As for construction - it’s an all-plastic build. There’s no metal on the headband or the earcup pivot points. However, the matte finish feels good, and the build quality is good. I never thought it’ll break during regular usage - however with accidental force (or with intention) it can be broken. Setting up the headset is easy as it gets. It came already synced with the included USB dongle, so having that connected to my Xbox and powering on the headset is the only thing I needed to do. The LEDs in both the headset and the dongle change when connected successfully, and there’s audio chimes too. The headset provides some basic controls - the typical volume and also another dial to change the chat volume. Besides the power volume (which also doubles as the toggle button for Turtle Beach’s Superhuman Hearing mode), there’s a mode button that can be pressed to cycle between 4 different EQ settings. I’m happy to see a USB-C port for charging/updating. Personally I’m pleased with the overall sound quality. Though I couldn't find a way to change the pre-configured EQs, all of them were useable. I’m sticking with the “Signature Sound” for most of the time, occasionally using the Bass Boost. Vocal Boost seemed to do very little to accentuate the actual dialogues in games and movies. I didn’t expect pristine sound quality from this gaming headset like some studio headphones I use daily, so I was not disappointed. However, I still can’t stand the “Superhuman Hearing” mode which makes the sound really bad for my taste. I’m not a competitive FPS player so maybe it matters less for me, but based on some of the action/shooters I have played so far I didn’t feel it was giving me any “boost”. YMMV. The mic performance is good. Like other TB units, it has the “flip-to-mute” mic, which collapses back to the earcups when not needed, and also pivots a little towards the mouth for better voice pick-up. My friends on the other end told me that compared to some of the other headsets they were hearing a bit more of ambient noise, but that was minimal. I haven’t tried them on in a very crowded place yet. Updating the headset means connecting it to a PC (or MAC) using the Turtle Beach Audio Hub. The software is barebones and I had a lot of connectivity issues. It regularly failed to detect the dongle and the headset together. And even after that apart from updating, it provided minimal control over the settings - only the Mic Monitor Level and the Tones Level can be adjusted, and unfortunately they didn’t seem to work. Hopefully Turtle Beach will provide some updates. One interesting thing I found was this headset works with PCs (so apparently not Xbox exclusive). It was detected as an “Xbox Controller”. However, I could only mute/unmute using the PC (the volume slider didn’t work) and had to rely on both the Game Volume and Chat Volume wheel on the headset itself. The mic worked ok as well in this case so I was able to use it for some Zoom/Teams meeting as well. I pushed my luck and connected it to my OnePlus 7T smartphone (running Android 11), but it was not detected. Overall, I’m pleased with this new Stealth 600 Gen 2 USB. It worked well as an Xbox gaming headset, and doubled as a PC headset as well. It is more of an entry/mid-tier wireless headset, so I’d look at something like a Stealth 700 if I wanted a more premium headset. I don’t see the reason why we can’t have universal wireless connectivity for gaming headsets so they work smoothly with Xbox, PC and Playstation. Also, I wish the Audio Hub software was more refined and provided better connectivity and functionality. One disclaimer I have is the initial unit I received was faulty and failed to stay on for more than a few minutes. The second unit I got worked without issues.

Sound quality is terrible. Would never buy again. I recommend the razor headset over this much cheaper and better quality

I highly recommend these bad boys if you’re looking for a high quality product that’s affordable, cute, and easy on the noggin. No headset dents here

Great earphones. Last quite a while before charging and comfortable to wear.

No issues so far. Good price when on sale and good product

Great quality bang for buck headset. Fits nice with glasses and has great sound.

Very comfortable. Great sound quality. Easy set up.

I found the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 to be a pretty good value considering the low price, superb sound quality, wireless connectivity, and Superhuman hearing feature. I've reviewed several headsets in this price range now, and I think the Stealth 600 Gen 2 sits at the top in terms of sound quality compared to the other brands at similar prices. It's super easy to use, just plug the USB transmitter in and power the headset up and you are good to go. The battery life is awesome. It's rated at 24 hours but I have not been able to put 24 hours of gaming in since receiving them. They came out of the box charged and I was able to game for a few hours with the initial charge, then charged them overnight the first night. There is an auto-shutoff after 10 minutes to save you from leaving them on overnight and killing the battery. The only complaint I have with the headset is that it's a little heavier and bulkier than the other headsets I've used from other brands at this price. For me, I've gotten so used to lightweight headsets that I found the Stealth 600 Gen 2 to be less comfortable, but on the flip side it had good sound quality in the default "Signature sound" EQ mode. Pros: 1) Good sound quality, especially with bass not causing weird reverb in the plastic of the headset 2) Easy to mute mic by flipping up 3) All headset features able to initiate/control from the buttons and dials on the headset itself Cons: 1) no built in bluetooth, not awful but still a downside 2) on the heavy side 3) a little bulkier and less confortable than competition at this price

nice little headset - in the box was the headset, usb charging cable and usb hub all nicely packaged. Setup was a breeze! Just have to plug in the hub and it just works. Follow a few onscreen prompts and your ready to play. USB is a type-C. So no old cables here - I have a USB-C on my desk already! As for comfort. they get the job done. Mostly made of plastic with an over the ear design. utilizing a mesh cotton material for against the face and a neoprene type pad that rest over the top of the head. For adults, the fit is just slightly snug but not uncomfortable. I do like the way the ear pads fold out for some adjustment against the chin and the headband adjusts on each side for over a cap/hat. There is a slight recess on the ear cushions that allow user to comfortable wear glasses - this was executed well! As for the sound - it uses Windows SOnic for 3D surround and does a decent job. Has built in 50mm drivers for each ear. These are good speakers but don't expect a ton of performance from them. Although my son doesn't care when playing Fortnite! I guess i don't either for most my games. Headset is easy to use - with just a few controls - Volume, mic volume, power, mode. And a built in mic-flip mute. My only real complaint is the volume. I think this are a little low on full volume for music and a bit muddy at times with no real highs. But at the entry price for a wireless headset it is hard to beat. The design is simple, controls are simple, install is simple. Good performance for most gaming applications. deduct 1 star, as i would want them to be a tad louder and a bit better sound quality

Your average turtle beach headset updated. Turtle Beach is the typical go to when your looking for a quality headset at a great price. This setup is made for Xbox only (X/S). There is a PlayStation version that will be similar if that is your choice of a game system. There are four things that are specifically important when it comes to this specific headset that I like. The first and greatest thing I like is the superhuman hearing. It adjust the sound settings perfectly and it’s something I only find with turtle beach that works well compared to other brands. I feel like I truly hear more than my buddies. 2nd the headset recharges via USB C this is a must now a days yet many new products are still using micro usb. Usb c is much more durable and just superior over micro usb. Third, the flip up mic. I have another headset without the flip up mic and it’s just not the same. The flip mic lets you gets it out of the way and also mute it. Perfect for when your gaming with friends and you want to mute yourself while playing with friends and want to munch on a quick snack haha! Fourth, I like when headsets are glasses friendly as they typically relieve pressure from your ears compared to non glasses friendly sets. I wear glasses and this is a must or I rather not even use the headset. Some minor things I don’t like….. they are 100% plastic which is typical for this price range. The plastic is nothing special and no special like designs. Turtle beach does advertise that the head band and hinges are strengthened compared to the prior gens but time will tell on this.

The Stealth 600 for XBOX is a great all-around headset with a cool universal USB adapter that it uses for required connectivity and QoS management when connected to an XBOX or PC. This device contains one of the new TB universal USB dongles that allows this headset to be configured with XBOX One, Series S/X, But also at least on PCs running Windows 10/11. I have tested this with both a PC (Intel NUC Desktop) and both the XBOX Series S and XBOX One S consoles. The connectivity was flawless, simple, and worked everywhere, every time... I didn't get a chance to test this with Switch of PlayStation, as I don't have those consoles available. If I understand the literature included with the headset, the USB adapter is now auto-switching and SHOULD work with other platforms. I prefer the audio experience in the official XBOX wireless headset, but the extensibility of this solution to other platforms makes it a GREAT choice for players of multiple platforms and PC. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for an all-purpose wireless gaming headset with GREAT audio quality and decent build quality.

Got these for my daughter for Christmas. She had wired headphones previously, and the sound quality, and noise canceling coupled with being wireless made her have a whole new level of appreciation for her Xbox series x.

The sound quality is as to be expected from Turtle Beach. Audio is clear and there are presets available for choosing what frequencies you would like to emphasize. I normally just leave them on Signature Sound as it strikes a good balance but Footstep Focus can be useful for PvP matches. The microphone does an okay job. The sleek form when stowed and the adjustability are let down a little bit by the sound quality. My friends described it as "not bad, but it sounded like I was on an old cellphone". I'm not sure how useful that analogy is as I'm sure the target audience of this headset hasn't used anything prior to an iPhone. The reason I say that has to do with the sizing and comfort. While I snagged these for myself, I will probably end up giving them to my 10 year old stepdaughter. The ear cups are just slightly too small for my ears end up rubbing on the tops of my ears. This coupled with the high level of clamp from the headband leads me to believe that this headset is intended for younger heads. I could make it work for my head but it was apparent when I had her try them on it was a much more natural fit. Aside from fitment (mostly a me thing) and a mediocre mic I think this headset is still a solid option if it fits you. It's lightweight, good sound quality and being able to use it on both PC and XBox is a win.

My kid went through around 5 headphones last year [I will admit that they were not quality, but still] These are easily dealing with him being a bit rough with them without a problem.
