Turtle Beach has made some of my favorite gaming headsets that I have ever used. This one has some terrific features/qualities and is very versatile. Here are some of the things I liked most.
Pros:
- This headset, while designed for Xbox, can also be used on a PC or even with a Playstation or Nintendo Switch. It can connect over RF dongles (1 is included for Xbox and another is included for general USB connection). The headset can also be connected by Bluetooth so these can be used to enjoy music or podcasts being played on your phone. I love this kind of versatility.
- The battery life is fantastic. It's rated for up to 80 hours and I believe it, as I've used it for about a week without having to charge it.
- Audio quality is excellent. I felt firmly immersed in the games I've been playing and music also sounds great.
- The flip to mute mic bar is a feature I have used before and I enjoy it. When I'm not playing a multiplayer game I like that I can just keep it tucked away so it is not getting bumped into.
Cons:
- Updating firmware was a chore. I installed the Swarm II app as instructed, but for 24 hours I tried to update the firmware about a dozen times and I could not get the headset to be detected by the app, even though I had the Bluetooth connected as instructed. On the second day I was finally able to get it updated and they have been working great since.
For wireless gaming headsets, this is one of the better options I've come across in its price range. I am a fan.

I remember when Turtle Beach was the name you went to for tha extra headsets between the time it took to up save the money for a new good pair. When you heard the name Turtle Beach, you basically thought Fischer Price for gamers. Things have really changed for those guys over the past few years. They're still making budget headsets, but they are actually really good products and they're alsoo doing gaming controllers that make you really think of swapping out your Elite (I did say " Think on it.") They have come out of the gate with the Stealth 700 wireless gen 3 gaming headsets. And man oh man, are these a step up from previous Stealth headsets. This headset is specifically for the Xbox Series consoles, because for some reason Microsoft hasn't nailed down bluetooth tech(I know this isn’t true, but Microsoft would like us to think it is.) But with that being said, the Stealth 700 Gen 3 comes with two specific dongles. One for Xbox Series and one for your PC of choice( which is quite possibly a Microsoftt device using bluetooth tech.) The package is simple enough. Housing the Stealth 700 Gen 3 headsets with 60 mm drivers and drop down boom mic, a charging cable those two seperate dongles I spoke of. I guess you want to know if these are worth your cash. Well, after installing the software update, you're gonna find yourself using very high quality pair of gaming headsets. Keep in mind, there are more refined brands out there that rival the cost to quality ratio of these, but to be honest, I was really impressed. The sound quality is very good. The surround sound feels very immersive, as if I can feel people moving around my perimeter. And the mic seems to have been upgraded from previous entries. The feel of the headset is really good quality. It feels premium, unlike thier other stuff, but this also means that they are kinda heavy where their other headsets are made with much lighter materials. In the end, they look & feel professional. I wouldn't be ashamed to stream with these or take them to a tourney. I'm very impressed with what Turtle Beach has brought forward. It's more of a hit on Microsoft than Turtle Beach, but get that bluetooth thing taken care of and headsets like this can really show it's full potential.

I have been using the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 for a week now on my Xbox, work laptop, and even tested on a Nintendo Switch. The Stealth 700 is a great sounding, versatile, use anywhere headset with excellent noise isolation.
What's in the box
- Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 Wireless Gaming Headset
- USB C charging cabe (headset)
- 2 (yes 2!) USB dongles (more on that later)
First Impressions
The Turtle Beach Stealth 700 looks premium. There's a nice weight to it. It has a steel headband, good padding, and the microphone flips into the unit. The big surprise was dual USB dongles in the box - one is labelled Xbox and the other is for your PC. The included USB C cable is a bit short and definitely too short if you want to charge the Stealth from the back of your Xbox. There's a lot (A LOT) of buttons on the headset, power, Bluetooth pairing, a wheel for custom in-game controls (PC only, requires Swarm). It has been a week and I still think I am getting use to it all. There's no RGB lighting, which is a relief. I don't need RGB on a headset.
Setup
Setup on the Xbox is easy, plug, pair, play. However, in the box there's a reminder to update the firmware. For this you need the Swarm II App on your phone (yes phone). Make sure you get the Swarm II App not the Swarm I app. You will need to plug in both USB dongles into the back of your Xbox and pair the headset to your phone by Bluetooth to do the firmware updates. Don't forget to remove one dongle at the end so you can use it elsewhere. The process is OK, a little slow, and the first update failed on me as a call came through mid-update (not Turtle Beach's fault).
In Use - Mind Blown!
This is where the Stealth is AMAZING. It can dual pair at the same time to the dongle and via Bluetooth. This is the first time I have experienced a headset capable of this - so you can be on your phone and playing a game. I didn't even know this existed and now it's all I really want on any headset. On this alone the Stealth 700 is a great headset. Audio quality is clear, nice deep bass, clear in game dialogue, and I had no complaints from friends on voice quality during game play. Battery life has been great. Turtle Beach rate the Stealth Gen 3 at 80 hours, I have been playing a few hours a night and barely got down to 65%.
What's Good
The audio quality is great, but the dual pairing and rapid switching is amazing. I play games in my basement. I have the headset dual paired to my Xbox and phone, and when my partner wants my attention I now can hear the texts and calls come through. Trust me, this is a good thing! The Bluetooth capability means the Stealth 700 can pair with anything. I tested it on my Switch. Worked. This could be your perfect headset if you game across Xbox, PC, Steamdeck, etc.
What's Not So Good.
This is probably trivial and unique to me. I also have a Turtle Beach Kone mouse. I love it. But now my gaming PC needs two versions of Swarm - the new and the old version. That's just a little frustrating. Not a deal breaker, just frustrating. Also, if you're thinking of getting this and think you attempt to set it up first on your PC, the Swarm software will basically permanently remind you to update the Xbox dongle. Make sure you set it up on your Xbox first.
Overall
Amazing headset. Great sound. Fast pairing across multiple devices but the amazing dual simultaneous pairing is what makes this a great headset and perfect for any gamer.

I picked up these Turtle Beach wireless headphones from Best Buy, and honestly, they’ve completely exceeded my expectations. Right out of the box, the setup was effortless, and the wireless connection is rock solid. No drops, no lag – just seamless audio whether I’m gaming, streaming, or taking calls.
The sound quality is next-level. Crystal clear highs, deep bass, and a super immersive surround sound experience. Perfect for everything from intense FPS games to laid-back Netflix sessions. The mic is also super crisp and picks up my voice clearly without any background noise.
Battery life is amazing too – I’ve been getting multiple days of use on a single charge. And the comfort? I can wear them for hours without any ear fatigue. Soft cushioning and lightweight build make a huge difference.
Best Buy had them at a great price and the pickup process was quick and easy. Highly recommend these if you’re looking for a high-quality, reliable wireless headset. Turtle Beach nailed it!

Comfort Meets Tinny Trouble

As a long-time fan of Turtle Beach products, I had high expectations for the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 Wireless Gaming Headset for Xbox. While I’ve had positive experiences with previous models, this one has been a bit of a letdown, despite its well-thought-out design and features. Let’s dive into the details of this headset.
Specs and Features:
- Drivers: 60mm Eclipse Dual drivers
- Compatibility: Xbox, Windows PC, mobile devices (via Bluetooth)
- Connectivity: Wireless connection to Xbox and PC via USB dongles, Bluetooth for mobile
- Battery Life: Up to 80 hours!!
- Mic: Flip-up mic, mutes when flipped up with A.I. based microphone noise reduction
- Controls: Volume dials for game and chat audio, EQ presets, Bluetooth pairing, mic mute
- Sound Customization: Turtle Beach Swarm II app with EQ customization and mic monitoring
- Comfort: Soft foam interior with Hybrid Leatherette and athletic fabric outer ear cushions
- Durability: Sturdy, high-quality plastic with metal reinforced headband
My Personal Take:
Despite the Stealth 700 Gen 3’s robust build quality and comfort, they didn’t hit the mark for me, and I’ve been left feeling disappointed for several reasons.
What I Loved:
- Comfort: These headphones are incredibly comfortable, even during long gaming sessions. The soft foam cushions, combined with the Hybrid Leatherette and athletic fabric, allow me to wear them for hours without feeling fatigue. Even though they’re massive due to the large 60mm drivers, they never felt too heavy.
- Flip-up Boom Mic: The flip-up boom to mute feature is one of my favorite aspects of this headset. It’s easy to use, and I appreciate the convenience of instantly muting myself with a simple motion during gaming sessions.
- Buttons and Dials: I love the tactile nature of the buttons and dials on this headset. They’re well-placed, making it easy to adjust game and chat audio balance on the fly. The physical controls feel intuitive, and it’s nice to have all the adjustments available directly on the headset.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: The Stealth 700 Gen 3 works seamlessly across multiple platforms, including my phone, Xbox, and PC. It's great having a headset that can connect to all of my devices, especially for gaming on Xbox and PC and multitasking on mobile.
Where Things Fell Short:
- Sound Quality – Tinny and Unimpressive: The biggest drawback for me was the sound quality. No matter how much I messed around with the audio EQ settings, the sound remained tinny and lacked depth. Even my friends, who heard me through the mic, commented on how the audio sounded off. This was a huge disappointment, especially given the high expectations I had for the 60mm drivers. I tried all the preset EQ modes and custom settings, but nothing could fix the hollow, unbalanced sound.
- Mic Monitoring Issues: Mic monitoring is another area where the Stealth 700 Gen 3 falls flat. Even with the mic monitoring turned up to 100% in the app, the feature was inconsistent at best. It would fade in and out in a distracting wave pattern, making it nearly impossible to monitor my voice effectively. This was incredibly frustrating and caused me to switch back to my old headset.
- EQ Presets and Audio Tuning: I found the EQ presets included with the headset lackluster. None of them offered the balanced audio profile I was hoping for. I could never get the sound right across different platforms, whether on Xbox, PC, or my phone, and the tinny sound persisted no matter the device.
Final Thoughts:
Despite the headset’s many positives, including its durable build, excellent comfort, and great feature set, the sound quality and inconsistent mic monitoring make it hard for me to recommend. I even made sure to update the firmware right out of the box as the directions said, hoping that there wouldn’t be any issues, but the problems persisted. The issues with the audio and mic were so distracting that I had to switch back to my old headset.
I don’t know if I got a bad pair, but the Stealth 700 Gen 3 is my least favorite Turtle Beach headset to date, which is a real disappointment given my long-standing loyalty to the brand. While it’s built well and loaded with features, the tinny sound and problematic mic monitoring make it hard to justify the purchase, especially when there are better options available for gaming headsets. I am hoping there is an update soon that might clear up some of these bugs.

Changed how I experience gaming. Before these I was using the standard Microsoft mic and single ear headset, something you’d see come with your Xbox 360. This headset was easy to pair, reliable and holds its charge. I hear every footstep now, and I know when you’re coming from behind. Enjoy that I can stream music through the headset from my phone and hear the game sound nice and clear. A lot of adjustments and buttons to get use to, but it’s a solid buy.

The setup was very easy, it worked just like the instructions said it would. Just plug in the adapter dongle to the Xbox USB port and that's it. Turn on the headset and it automatically syncs the Xbox and headset. The sound quality is really good as well as the noise cancellation. I love the quality of the ear pads; the foam material is very comfortable. I had the previous version, the 700 Gen 2, and I think they did a good job with this new upgrade. I would definitely recommend this product.

These have to be the best built Turtle Beach headset i've had to date. The stealth 700 Gen 2 are a great sounding headset. i have played with these for a week nonstop and had no loss of connection no lag sound. The flip down mic works great no echo or my voice doesnt sound like im in a tunnel clean and clear. The sound coming out of these is truly great deep rich sound you can control the sound with the app on your phone and change the way you want to hear them. When you get these you need to do an update it comes with 2 USB one for the XBOX and the other from cross play. The ear cups are soft and cool i dont sweat around my ears when playing for so long with less over my ears. The feel of the over my head are great they don't push down on my head they don't squeez my head they are a great fit. Soft cushion all around. So when im playing and get a call i can still hear the game in the background when talking with the Turtle Beach on my head. The only thing i think that is kinda wrong with these is way to many buttons on the headset kinda takes sometime to get use to what does what.
Battery life is 40hrs thats non-stop playing
Turtle Beach has made alot of headsets i have had 4 of them and each one has a different quality build and sound to them. These as of now are my new favorite. Just the feel and quality of these not a lot of plastic parts the are important to the build.

This is probably the fifth headset I have owned, over the last 10 years and definitely the most expensive. I initially purchased this to chat again with a friend during a beta and after the first game, I was beyond amazed by the sound quality AND the comfort. I wear glasses and this has been the first headset that does not press the glasses to the sides of my head. The padding also kept me comfortable during the entire session. Setup was a little inconvenient for me but really only took about 10 minutes with an update and a little extra patience with me. I really do like that I have the ability to jump from my console, to my pc or my phone with the press of a button. No more wires and connection issues with controllers!

Probably the best gaming headset on the market. Amazing sound quality, in game and for music/media. Really convenient being able to switch between console and PC, while always having a bluetooth connection to your phone. Easy to stream music and take calls without ever having to take them off. 80 hours of claimed charge time is really close to accurate. Great headset.

This is my second pair of gaming headsets. Recently had Astro 50's and it was far better than the audio out of the tv speakers.
I decided to upgrade and go a bit more quality and I am blown away at the fact that these Stealth 700's gets you IN the game. These are a little on the heavier side however, still very comfortable.
You can hear the direction which your opponents are at (above, below, left, right, Walking or running). I am blown away at the ampunt of difference these have. Grateful for a great set of audio enhancing headset.

Had not used Turtle Beach headsets in about 5 years. Had major issues with build and sound quality. I decided to give these a go and was pleasantly surprised.
Really comfortable, even while wearing glasses. Great sound quality: not too bass heavy and picks up dialog really well in games and videos. Probably my personal favorite feature is that you can connect to multiple devices with this headset. I have both of the included USB transmitters connected to my Xbox Series X and PS5 and have had no pair issues.
The one thing that has caused some concern is that, on 2 separate occasions, the sound completely cut out from the left ear. Turning it off an back on again fixed it, but it was just weird that it happened with no outside influence.
Overall, a great headset at this price point. Makes it even better when it was $149.99 for black Friday.

Overall I am very happy with the stealth 700. It has everything that i'm looking for minus a docking station/stand that can charge it. But overall the sound quality is good, the mic is good. I love the flexibility of being able to switch between xbox and PC with the push of a button. The blue tooth for my phone is great. I can take calls while gaming. The noise canceling properties are great! I can rarely hear my GF talking to me while im gaming. They could be a little lighter. But I think for the build quality and metal components they will last longer than previous iterations with all plastic construction.

The sound quality on these when I play my games are amazing it really make the experience more immersive. Not to mention they are really comfortable and not too tight and they have an amazing battery life. And as an added bonus I can use them on any of my consoles or my PC with the USB Chip! 10/10 would very much recommend this!
