Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Absolutely love them!! I had the gen 2’s before this and the gen 2’s had its own problems. I don’t have any real problems with the gen 3’s so far. Sound quality is great, very comfortable, battery lasts for a loonngg time, and love the new look!! Really glad I purchased these.

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 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!

Really good Headset, easy to use even if you aren't Tech-savvy, amazing sound quality, and I love being able to switch between two different game chats with the USBs, battery quality is very good too I have only had to charge it once so far since purchasing a few weeks ago, and the overall headset is very comfy and snug and has a very clean look

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.

Excellent battery life, made with high quality material, and the Bluetooth connectivity is the best feature since it lets me answer my phone without removing my 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.

Comfortable, great sound, easy to connect to my Xbox or PlayStation. Make sure to get the Xbox version so you can use it on both. The PS5 one does not cross over to Xbox. Long battery. I love them.

Love this headset. The battery life is great, and the mic quality is great for a headset. Very comfortable to wear for long periods of time, even if you have glasses.

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.

Great headset! There are 2 usb dongles that i plug into my xbox and Playstation. There is a single button that makes it seemless to switch between both units. There is a dedicated app for your phone to help control the headset and adjust the equalizer and sound setting. Other than using it for updates to the headset, you really don't need the app unless you want to find tune them. Sound is great when you tune them and can hear great detail ingame. Sound is loud and noise cancelling works great. Wife yells at me and cant hear so works wonderfully. I do wear glasses and the headset fits comfortably and does not hurt my head after long playing sessions. They use metal hinges where you adjust the earpieces. This is great as i had an older headset from Turtle Beach that use plastic hinges and broke after a year. Value can be better but i have seen them go down as low as $150 and at that range its a good headset to buy without having to go up in budget.

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!

Okay here we go I needed a replacement after the last model I owned after 3 years wasn’t working right. Wowzerz they definitely upped the quality in this new model and I love it. Still so comfortable on the ears and head performance is very nice and now more battery life and I’m in love I’m an online gamer so I’m on for hours so it’s performance is very good like last model with improvements especially battery life. Definitely if you liked the last model you will like this model enjoy.

Great gaming headset! Fits good and great sound quality! Good battery life. Really like that I can connect to Xbox, PC and Bluetooth to iPhone! Great overall buy!

The best headset I’ve come across in a long time, over all the comfort is great. Once you get into the different options when it comes to communication & the amazing sound, the modern built & look wraps it all up into just being an amazing asset to own.

I came in looking for a steelseeries headset but couldn’t find the right one I wanted. I had just broken a pair and I was likely just going to replace them with a new pair but I walked past someone else with this headset and went to check out the specs. It’s a very comfortable headset especially for longer gaming sessions and the audio quality is insane. Definitely a little more up there in price but if you’re not on a budget this is a perfect gaming headset. I’ve had it for some months now and i’ve yet to run into any issues. The quality of the headset is also very sturdy made of a metal of some sort. 10/10 Headset glad I made the switch.
