Great improvement over the previous models
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a pair of the first generation Stealth 700 gaming headsets and while I found them to be quite capable, there were a few small issues with the overall experience that stuck with me. This second generation of the sleek & affordable Stealth line fixes almost all of them, as well as adding in a few new tricks. Build quality is above average, though not exceptional. The frame is pretty much all plastic with only a couple of metal parts, and has a soft matte finish that doesn't pick up much in the way of fingerprints. There are a few metal parts in the headband, but all the other accents are painted on. The earcups are thick and held on with friction-fit pins and are designed with an eye towards user serviceability, so if one happens to get damaged fitting a replacement should only require a few minutes time and the appropriate spare part. Weight is significant - more than you'd typically expect from a nearly all plastic headset to be honest - but is carried well by the adjustable headband. And there's plenty of room built in as well - it fit my XXL-sized head with plenty of adjustment to spare. There's even a feature designed to let you create a little channel for glasses to pass through along the side of your head, accomplished by pulling off the earcups and tightening a little rubber band that's wrapped around the cushion beneath the cover. It's a fine idea, but I'll admit that when I tried it the channel it created was a little too high to actually accomplish much in the way of strain relief. Things improve somewhat when moving on to core functionality though. The previous model of Stealth boasted a very rich audio experience with a reasonably good surround sound effect when paired with the right hardware, and this new model lives up to the example set by its predecessor. It's got two basic modes for gaming that can influence the sound. "Superhuman hearing" (which is on by default) is tuned to accentuate ambient sound effects typically used in gaming (footsteps, gunshots, etc) to relay a character's position relative to you. Listening to music or audio from a video with this mode on can be a little weird, as random bits of audio suddenly make themselves a lot more well known, but it's certainly not a bad experience. And if you want to use a more straightforward equalizer setting you can simply hit the mode switch to switch to the default setting, which offers much more balanced (if somewhat bass-heavy) audio. Quality is very good with both the dongle and Bluetooth. The mic is good as well, though I'll admit that I found myself a little less impressed with it compared to the quality of the playback. I think the main reason isn't the quality of the mic being used, as it sounded fine when I just had it sitting on my desk, but rather the fact that it does have somewhat limited adjustability when you're wearing it. On device controls include a local volume wheel (which does not provide software volume control in windows, in case you were wondering) and a second wheel that you can remap in software, a mode switch, and a dedicated Bluetooth pairing button. It also includes a feature that some may find quite handy: the ability to accept a signal from both the receiver and a Bluetooth device simultaneously. I'll admit that I've yet to find a very compelling use case for this, particularly as balancing the volume of the two sources is quite tricky, but if you ever wanted to have a Zoom meeting with a custom soundtrack this is the device for you. Mapping custom controls and fine-tuning the equalizer settings can all be accomplished via a mobile app that works over the Bluetooth connection, another nice touch albeit one most will probably use just once before forgetting about it entirely. There are a few small areas for improvement going forward. The Bluetooth pairing process and the documentation around it isn't great, for example. According to the instructions you simply have to hold the Bluetooth button down until it goes into pairing mode, but this won't actually do anything but turn the Bluetooth receiver off. In fact you have to turn Bluetooth on, hold the button down for a few more seconds to turn it on again, and keep holding it until you get the pairing notification. The fact that the volume wheel on the back of the headset isn't software enabled makes it something of a rarity in modern wireless peripherals as well, and can potentially lead to some annoyance if it's been accidentally turned down too much before you start. Despite this, I still find it a lot easier to recommend this improved version of the Stealth 700.

uncomfortable ok sound

We get very few complaints about sizing or comfort issues. Due to the wide variations in head sizes and shapes, it's not possible to design a one-size-fits-all headset that will fit absolutely 100% of all users. However, we consistently provide a comfortable fit for the overwhelming majority of our customers. Please bear in mind that your headset will break in over time, which should result in a better fit after you've used it for a while.

Need to work on bluetooth connection
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The new maximum connection is not as pleasing as the old connection through regular bluetooth. The technology is nothing to gawk at, but, keeping it plain and simple, is what prevents customers switching from turtle beach to astro branded items

Awful All Around
||Posted .

In regard to your audio, our Support Team would be happy to assist you in getting your headset set up properly and work with you to ensure you're using the appropriate presets and don't have a situational feature like SuperHuman Hearing activated at all times, as that alters the sound of the headset drastically when turned on.
