Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have my router in the same room I game in. All my devices are wire for the speed and reliability. That being said the 2.4ghz from my router renders these absolutely useless.

Bought for a birthday gift. Once opening they do not work properly. When trying to exchange/return them was denied.

Lasted about a month before the software started failing. Same issues the Gen 1 has. Hoping TB will work with me

Never pairs the first time. Crackles constantly. Fits so tight on my head that my sinuses get blocked and I can’t breathe through my nose. Wanted to give them a chance and missed the deadline to return them. Highly regret buying this.

The flip down microphone broke when I flipped it down. It’s not even been a month since purchase.

It’s over priced. Definitely not worth how much you pay for. It feels very cheap very easy to break. Don’t waste your money on this item.

Worked great for a month then one thing at a time stops working

I constantly have online players telling me how horrible my mic sounds & the headphones itself tweaks so I have to turn on a& off

I used to have some Turtle Beach headphones back in my PS3 days and I really like them. I've been using a couple of other brands since then, but I was excited to try these latest ones from Turtle Beach since I knew they're a good brand. I wasn't disappointed--these are fantastic headphones with all the features that I'd been missing. When I pulled them out of the box, I was a little concerned that they'd be heavy and uncomfortable. I went straight into a 6 hour gaming session, though, and never had another concern. They were perfectly comfortable the whole time. Setup couldn't have been any easier. The USB transmitter has a single switch for XBOX or USB, USB being everything non-Xbox like PCs and Playstations. I switched it to USB, plugged it into the front of my PS4, powered on my headphones and they connected as easy as that. I tested the mic and sound levels, but didn't even have to adjust anything and it was ready to go. On my previous headphones, the thing I missed the most was the ability to adjust the main sound and chat volume separately. I was so happy to get this back on these headphones. The volume knobs are on the back of the left ear cup, so once I figured out where they were I could quickly and easily adjust them while playing. On the topic of sound, the quality is fantastic. Any outside noise is almost totally sealed out and I could hear even the smallest game sounds perfectly. A new feature (to me, anyway) that I absolutely love is the ability to mute the mic by flipping it up. If you flip it up about half way or more, you hear a tone so you know it activated. You can also see the light on the USB transmitter change to a slow pulsing red. I did sometimes forget that I was muted, so seeing the red light was a good reminder. This feature is SO much better than fumbling for a mute switch somewhere. This may not be something most people do, but sometimes I like to move one headphone off my ear so I can either talk to someone or listen for things going on outside the game. Even with these somewhat larger headphones, this still worked comfortably for me. I've had other headsets that just weren't designed for this and weren't comfortable to wear like that. Anyway, these headphones were just fine for the few minutes each time I wore them like that. Finally, the battery life appears to be more than enough for my game nights plus many more hours. When I'm done, I just connect them to a USB-C charging cable and they're ready to go next time. The one thing I wish these came with was some sort of case or bag to keep them in. Right now, I put them back in the box they came in to protect them from dust, curious cats, etc. but it'd be nice if there was a better case. That's a minor detail and I'm sure I'll find something better to keep them in eventually.

Turtle beach is at it again, this time with a MAX version of their popular Stealth 700 series headset. This headset is a little different from the other 700 series options, so let’s dive in and see what has changed and more importantly, how it performs. The Stealth 700 Gen 2 MAX comes in two colors - a typical black with silver accents, and exclusive to this model, a deep blue and copper option. I have the blue and copper, and it looks classy and different from a typical gaming headset. Overall, the style of the headsets is understated and don’t scream gamer, which is fine by me. I like the trend away from some of the overmolded RGB everything madness that some gaming accessories were doing, this one is very classy looking with clean lines. It also features a flip up to mute or down to talk mic, which keeps it clean when you are just playing a single player game or listening to music. The headset supports Bluetooth, and with your phone you can get granular control of the settings for the headset, change what the buttons and one of the dials do, etc. It can also take calls or you can use a chat app on your phone while in a game for those who prefer third party chat apps. One interesting note - this headset has no analog input. The only port is the USB-C for charging or firmware updates on a PC, so you can’t use it with a device that needs an analog port. This could be a drawback for on the go switch players, as you’ll need to pair the headset using Bluetooth, which can be a little laggy for audio, instead of being able to use a hard wire. For other features, the headset supports mic monitoring so it doesn’t sound like you are shouting into a tunnel, and you can customize sound options with the app when paired to your phone. It has a huge battery life - Turtle beach claims 40+ hours between charges. This headset will ONLY pair to Bluetooth and its USB dongle. It does not have direct connectivity to an Xbox like previous 700 series headsets did, you need to switch the dongle to Xbox mode and plug it into a USB port on your Xbox. In this mode, it worked perfectly with my Series X, and in standard USB mode it works well on PC, Switch, or Playstation. While some may see that as a drawback, I actually prefer the dongle instead of dealing with pairing to an Xbox wirelessly - that caused some issues with previous generation headsets as Microsoft would update something, or Turtle Beach might, and it would cause some incompatibly problems. With the dongle it just pairs up and goes. It also will glow red when you are on mute or green when off mute, so you can easily tell what mode you are in when gaming. To update the headset, you plug it into your PC via USB along with the dongle and use the Turtle Beach app to update both parts. As of this review, there wasn’t an update available, but check when you get the headset to see if there are updates that may fix bugs. For performance, the headset did very well. The earcups are incredibly comfortable, along with the padding on the headband. I will say there is some pretty decent clamp force on this headset, which is somewhat typical of wireless sets as they weigh more with the batteries and electronics. I didn’t find it uncomfortable though as the earcups are deep enough to keep the pressure on your head from being too much. Audio is clear with decent but not overblown bass, and spatial audio modes work well. Wireless audio was crackle free with no noticeable latency. The mic is omnidirectional and can pick up some background noise. With the flip to mute it’s easy enough to mute, but some headsets do have better mics. The headset also doesn’t have active noise cancellation, which isn’t something I really need when gaming, but if that is an important feature for you it’s worth noting. Overall, this is a feature packed heasdset with good audio, incredible battery life, clean style at a price point that isn’t crazy. The multiplatform compatibility in a single package is great. I would recommend it for someone who is looking for a huge amount of battery life and compatibility with multiple gaming systems.

They have not changed how cheap their plastic is. I bought this in December and the swivel arm has already cracked.

If you want a steaming pile of garbage this headset is for you. It works about as well as the first gen iPhone headphones.

One more gift for my granddaughter's gaming computer. She was looking forward to be able to listen without disturbing anyone else

Leaves alot to be desired for the price tag. Constant issues on startup. Volume is cut by 80 percent or so, bluetooth won't connect or they turn off as soon as you turn it on.

Lots of popping crackling even after update, Bluetooth was even worst returned thinking it was just that unit but the next unit I got did the same thing with Bluetooth. Horrible.

Kept disconnecting. Cutting in and out. My gen 2 600 is still the best ones I've owned

Too complicated to work with Xbox. These things broke after a few months with normal use and wear. I would not recommend buying these for the price.

The only problem I noticed is the hdst should be more adjustable so it's not so tight against my head. It was giving me headaches. Other than that it works well.

I had the gen one witch is also wirless but doesnt have a usb to focus the signal and stops the audio from cutting out !

Headset is amazing! Once you download mobile app you can adjust so many different settings and volume levels. Its great!
