Customer Ratings & Reviews

If your in to gaming then you know all about turtle beach both good and bad. The stealth 600 offers a great entry for those looking for a head set all without breaking the bank. And while everyones opinions differ from manufacturer to manufacturer, turtle beach has also been known to produce quality, at least on the higher end set ups. The stealth 600 offers you everything you have seen with every other head set. And with its price point set to a more afford dollar amount the real question begs to be asked, is it worth it? All the features and compatibility are easily read in the product description so im not going to waste time on that. Diving right in to it this headset is not built for comfort, at all. The rigid hard chassis gives little room for give meaning the break in period is going to take a long time and during that whole time expect to have much discomfort in the form of headaches. Now for the smaller domed people such as my 15 year old daughter this head set fits her perfect and she raves about how comfortable it feels. The drop down mic is a nice simplistic feature that the next gen stealth 600 still carries which i am a big fan of. Obliviously simply pull the mic down to chat and back up to mute. But i what i really like about this very simple feature is how clean it looks when it is tucked away in mute mode. It molds perfectly to the shape of the earcups and is no longer a eye sore. Speaking of the mic, chat quality is surprisingly very very good. Having someone else use both the stealth 600 vs my turtle beach pro i honestly could not tell much of a difference in voice quality. Voice quality was clean and clear and never once sounded distorted or brought in static. Audio quality from the actual games was a different story however. There was a very noticeable difference in bass and clarity. If your games are set up for Spatial sound you can forget it with these headsets as there will be very little to no difference in the change of sound. Bass struggles to hit when hearing sounds like mortar fire going off from games like COD and the mids seem to become almost muffled as the drivers try so hard to push the bass that it slightly distorts your other back ground noises. Bluetooth was dropping out as well from time to time but i cant knock the headset too much as this is an easy fix by simply plugging in the power cable directly to your gaming device. Over all this is a budget friendly headset that is great for some but not for all. What you really need to ask yourself is what is it your primarily looking for? If all you care about is a reliable chat set that wont let you down, then i say pull the trigger and buy it and you will not be disappointed. If your looking to become immersed in your enviorment during long gaming hours, then its a hard pass. The audio quality is average at best and the rigid chassis will bother your head after about an hour of gaming. If your buying for a child or teenager then this the perfect set for you.

Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 3 Quick Overview ================================= There are a tons of choices in all different price brackets to consider when shopping for gaming headsets. At this price point, there's especially fierce competition from major brands like Logitech and Steel Series, to smaller/niche ones like Nacon's RIG line of headsets. Now we'll look at Turtle Beach's latest version of their multi-platform wireless headphones, the Stealth 600 Gen 3. Overall build ================================= Plastic may not be the most premium material, but there are certainly varying degrees of quality. Here, Turtle Beach has some very nice, dense, matte-finished plastic that definitely doesn't feel cheap. The earcups are a soft cloth with an even softer memory foam padding inside the for maximum comfort, even for those who wear glasses. In the box, you'll also get the 2.4 Ghz USB-A dongle, a charging cable (USB-A to USB-C). The dongle itself is small and I'm a bit surprised it's USB-A only, but that's fine since I suppose we're all still making the transition. There are no controls on the right earcup, so everything is on the left including the flip-out boom mic. Starting from the front where the flip-to-mute mic is, there's a power button with a ring that lights up while charging, a Mode button, and the BT button (hold down to pair). To the rear there's a master volume knob and a chat/game mix knob, each with a differently knurled finish to differentiate by touch. Lastly there's a Quick Switch button by the USB-C charging port which can flip between BT audio and the 2.4 Ghz dongle. It's a nice touch and works with just a half-second press. The headphones have quite a few clicks of adjustment and even on my med-large head, it only required about 4-5 clicks on each side out of the 10-11 maximum. Initial setup ================================= I let it charge for a few hours so I could properly test it. The circular ring surrounding the power button glows red while charging then turned off when it was ready. I wanted to make sure they were fully charged, so I connected it to a USB-C charging cable and waited. After plugging in the dongle, I was ready to go from a "default Windows sound" perspective, but I figured I should download the software. Here's where things went a bit awry and I think TB could make the process smoother. I downloaded their Swarm II software and installed it. During that time, it noticed my headset was connected and there was an update available for both the dongle and the headphones. Great! I let it update and after that I was having issues connecting. Though I could hear Windows audio, the app itself (Swarm II) couldn't see the headphones so I couldn't customize it. I decided to try BT mode and also test the mobile app at the same time. BT pairing was easy enough. I just held down the BT button and selected it on my phone (Pixel 8 Pro) when it popped up. I then installed the Turtle Beach Swarm II app from the Google Play store and saw it had a lot of EQ and other parameters to tweak. It looked nice enough and showed my firmware was up to date. I then switched back to "Wireless mode" (that's what the audio prompt says) and the Windows Swarm II app still couldn't see my Stealth 600 Gen 3s! I decided to reboot and when I came back online, my headphones appeared in the Swarm II app! Yay? Well, after firing it up again, it said I had another update - this time for Waves for 3D audio. I let it install that and rebooted once more. After that, Swarm II prompted for yet another firmware update for the dongle and headphones! After going through this process one more time (and another reboot), I was finally able to see more options in the Swarm II app including EQ modes, Macro, and fine-tuning of the different buttons and knobs that could be reprogrammed. Overall, it's nice to have this much customizability! I worry that some other less-persistent PC users may have given up before this point, because I'm leaving out a lot of power toggling, USB dongle disconnect/reconnecting, and rebooting. Now that we were ready to go, I was finally ready to play some games and listen to music! Performance ================================= The mic is actually very good. It's much better than I expected! I record audio for technical marketing videos and repair videos online with a dedicated "Australian Mic Manufacturer's" mic and this TB Stealth 600 Gen 3 nearly matched it. I'd say most people may not notice the difference! I was impressed and I also like that I could configure things like the "noise floor", sensitivity, and more in the app. For testing the sound, I listed to multiple FLAC and Spotify songs that I knew very well and that I've tested with "audiophile" headphones/amps and other gaming headphones. I also played some Sniper Elite 4 and Cyberpunk 2077. Overall, I'd call these headphones more accurate than they are musical, and that's OK! If gaming is your thing, I think these headphones are probably superior to the more musical ones. Sure, a lot of people like powerful, booming bass when it comes to music or watching movies, but when it comes to sneaking around as a sniper in WWII, you want detail. These Stealth 600 Gen 3s are super-clear and what they may have lacked in pure bass output, they made up for in clarity and resolution. I really liked these in Sniper Elite 4 as they helped me really focus on what was going on. Superhuman hearing was also a very nice option (as it has been w/TB for years), but it's hard to say if it helped a ton in this game because the clarity really helped me hear the details I might have missed with other headphones. In Cyberpunk 2077 these also performed really well. Yes, CP2077 benefits from powerful, musical headphones with its soundtrack and action scenes, but there's also a ton of detail in Night City and you can hear it with these Stealth 600 Gen 3s. Musically, I think the biggest thing I missed was the bass/sub-bass but overall these are great headphones for gaming and music because of their detail and resolution. Even tweaking the EQ to boost the bass can't get it up to the same levels as some bass-heavy favorites, but again - these are very pleasant and accurate. Conclusion ================================= I've had the pleasure of testing multiple wireless gaming headphones over the years from the PS3 era to the best and newest ones that include an HDMI switcher! These headphones are surprisingly one of my favorites! I typically like some extra "oomph" in the lower registers since bass in music and movies can make things more exciting and fun, but I love the accuracy of these! Not only that, they don't distort if they can't hit the low frequencies (unlike some other headphones I've had). Everything from PC, to Android, to Steam Deck to Spotify was clear and accurate. Barring the initial setup hassles, I'd recommend these if you're focused on gaming first and music/movies second.

The first thing I had to do was charge the Turtle Beach Shealth 600 headphones. I used the included charging cable and the block from my iPhone, It had a nice long cord which I really liked. I hate it when headphones come with a short cord. It seemed to take a long time to charge them the first time. The second time did not seem to take as long. The headset is so comfortable on my head. Not tight nor lose. It does not move around on my head yet it is in no way restrictive. I also like the microphone. It is not so long that it gets in my way. It is just the perfect size. When I am not using it, it stores easily out of sight in a slotted place on the headset. Totally out of sight. The ear part is so soft. Feels like my pillow. It moves from side to side to get that perfect fit. I do love the feel and comfort of it. I had to make sure my headset was updated with the latest firmware by scanning the code found in the instructions. It took me straight to the APP Store and the APP Swarm II. Sure enough there was a mandatory update. So I attempted to update that. I did have problems with that but after some time I managed to accomplish that. Once I had the update completed It was so easy to reconnect to the computer using the USB Wifeless Transmitter. I also added it to my iPad and iPhone using blue tooth. It was so easy. I just had to turn on Bluetooth on my iPhone and then turn on the headset, For some strange reason I had hold down the Bluetooth button and the Quick Switch Button at the same time then it paired perfectly. I like to carry my headphones with me when I travel. So I was disappointed that this came without a case to carry it in. I do not like to just leave my headphones laying on the bed in a motel or on the car seat while I go in somewhere to eat. I need a case to store it in out of sight. If it had a case I would have rated this a 5 star.

Insane value for the price! - Sound quality is only a notch or two below studio. You cannot get better for less than $200-300. I dare ya. - They are a light pair, and do not squeeze the head, and also have fine adjustments for size. - Software is awesome allowing custom button assignments. You can set 2nd scroll wheel to bass level for example. - Battery life! 80hrs! It also charges in an hour flat using a 1amp cell charger. (not provided, but PC will charge it) Only two negatives. - Win10 support could be better. - Software seems to update weekly. It's annoying. Disable this and you'll be happy. Just update it once a month. note: At first I had connectivity issues on Windows 10. Windows 11 fixed my issues with sleep mode breaking connection. The headset works perfectly as intended in Win11.

Great sounding gaming headphones.Easy to connect.Clear mic chat.Sturdy build quality.Definitely would recommend

Good fit, good sound quality, long battery life. However, it requires an app to use out of the box or it won't work, a problem if you're using them for work meetings. The app uninstalled itself once, and every change with it requires an entire pc restart. The sound pickup is fickle. After some time after a fresh install it starts to act weird. Updating doesn't help. It won't pick up small background noises like rain in Stardew Valley until you start walking making an annoying sha sha sha sound like it's trying to rain but not quite able to. A good example is skipping to the 1hr 20 minute mark in Monsters University. You get pure silence at the lake then when Mike and Sully start talking you can hear the crickets and night noises, but only when they're talking or make a loud noise. Reinstall fixes it but it just starts up again after a week.

Right off the rip I have to say these new stealth 600 series gen 3 maintain the old tried and true fitment of years past so if you enjoy any turtle beach headset this one will also fit great but if you have even a remotely larger head (think like L/XL flex fit needed) it will have a higher clamping force and I recommend you check these out at your local Best Buy display to ensure fitment. That said im part of the clamp crew though they do stretch with time. The stealth 600 series from turtle beach is by far the most recognizable name in gaming headsets. This new gen 3 style for 2024 really steps the bar up by adding bluetooth functionality to the already stellar 2.4ghz wifi connection. This particular model can connect easily to PC, playstation, switch, and mobile via low latency wireless or bluetooth depending. The new AI based mic noise reduction and echo canceling is actually a lot better than last years model I also have which is nice my friends noticed the difference right away. This has the newer 50mm nanoclear drivers which sound full and up front so you can hear foot steps well with the right EQ settings. Speaking of EQ settings you can customize the 3d audio settings, EQ, mic settings and everything else right in the Swarm II desktop or mobile app. Beyond fitment the athletic weave fabric ear cups are a hate it or love it type of deal and personal preference. The real choice on that is these allow your ears to breath well over a long period of time but they dont keep sound in that well if your trying to be discrete. The mic flips up to mute which is a turtle beach classic and much appreciated. Another appreciated thing is the ability to lay these flat on your desk and the ear cups swivel to allow. There is switches on the ear cups for mode, a new quick switch button to swap between 2.4ghz wireless and bluetooth modes which only takes a couple seconds to connect. Overall you cant ask for much more value for the money here on a wireless pair these days. I wouldnt hesitate to pick up a pair (unless you have a large head then try them on first lol).

Very lightweight, they seem to be able to (so far) take a beating as I'm not nice to my stuff lol. The range is better than I expected- I can go downstairs and outside on the back porch with no interruption or interference (ymmv). The only really complaint I would have is that it starts full blast, so be sure to adjust volume before wearing would be my advice. Overall, I'm pleased with them. I use these for gaming and listening to podcasts.

Was hesitant after my last turtle beach experience but these are amazing. Comfortable. Work great. Can switch easily between wireless and Bluetooth. The charge lasts forever

The product is of really good quality. It feels really comfortable and the sound quality is amazing! I also love being able to switch between wireless and Bluetooth modes so I can be on my phone In between matches.

Lightweight, well made, sounds good and connects seamlessly wirelessly. The only complaint I have is all the buttons/controls on the unit. After a few weeks, I still have trouble finding the on/off, LOL. There's other dial-type switches that are for volume, the 2nd one, still not sure what that does. The flip down mic is very cool. It's out of the way and not visible while not in use. Mic reception is very good. The headset might be a little tight on larger heads, but not so much that it causes discomfort. The ear pads are comfortable and overall, the unit feels ok. I'd recommend these, given the price and good solid materials.

Sound quality and durability are amazing, microphone is awesome and the streamer mode is really helpful for if you're making clips

I used to have Turtle Beach headsets in the OG black ops days and they were phenomenal! Not sure why I stopped purchasing them, anyways this month I had a $10 certificate and figured Id grab these. I was slightly nervous about the lower reviews regarding connection and during setup, there was a little difficulty with the usb dongle that goes to your USB. The application on PC was having trouble updating, I eventually downloaded the mobile app and was able to update the headset and havent had any real issues after that. Amazing quality and I always forget its wireless and I enjoy the freedom of moving around the house. The range is really good and audio quality is very crisp. If you can nab this on a sale to save you some bucks, I highly recommend these!

I can say I love these headsets the sound quality is amazing the battery lasts a really long time I haven’t changed them since I got them also I love the fact that you can flip the mic up to mute them and flip them down to unmute instead of feeling and trying to find the mute button I’m very happy with them.

I’ve bought the headset and it works great easy to use great audio and comfortable to wear as well This was recommended by a friend of mine good thing I listened

After trying several other brands found a perfect fit with turtle beach. Comfortable when wearing for long time. The battery life is great. The sound quality is excellent

so i really do enjoy this item. The flip up Mic to engage audio output is pretty sweet, also very comfortable. battery life is great easy to charge. If i ( needed to change anything ) and honestly its no biggy it would be the ability to adjust the mic piece so others aren't affected by my back noise but that's what audio sensitivity settings are for. so again no biggy

The Turtle Beach headphones are quite impressive in terms of durability and build quality. They feel heavy-duty, which gives me confidence that they’ll last a long time, even with regular use. The design is sturdy without feeling too bulky. The sound quality is another strong point. Whether I’m listening to music, watching a show, or gaming, the audio is clear and well-balanced. These headphones handle both highs and lows effectively, offering an immersive listening experience. What’s really convenient is that they support both Bluetooth and wired modes, giving you flexibility depending on your needs. I appreciate being able to switch to a wired connection when I don’t want to worry about battery life. One feature I’m still figuring out is the ear sensor. It seems like the headphones detect when they’re not being worn. When I had them on Bluetooth and took one ear off, they kept shutting off, which leads me to believe that they have a sensor that automatically turns them off when they’re not in use. Overall, I’m pretty happy with these headphones. They’re durable, have great sound quality, and the option for both Bluetooth and wired modes is a nice touch. The ear sensor can be a bit annoying at times, but it’s not a huge deal.

This headset is good for the price. The spatial audio is on point, the microphone does a great job of noise cancelling, battery life is very good, and you can pair it with your phone and console at the time so if you get a call it will automatically switch to your phone. Which could be bad if it happens in the middle of an intense battle during a battle royale. I think the context switching with the phone could be improved. Biggest con for me is the microphone arm could be sturdier/stronger. The mic of the last headset i had (same model but previous generation) broke on me and I can see this doing the same.
