Turtle Beach - Stealth 300 Wired Amplified Stereo Gaming Headset for Xbox One and Xbox Series X - Black/Green

My 10 yr. old grandson loves these headphones. He really likes the sound quality. Uses them everyday.

I have the 500P for the PS4 since 2016 and those are still working solidly (granted, those are the wireless variant of headset) but the headset plug on these broke within a month. I like Turtle Beach and will give them the benefit of the doubt. Contacted Customer Support and will hopefully get a replacement. Thankfully it was purchased on sale for $40 but for a unit that typically sells for $80, that's upsetting.

The microphone is the big problem. It isn't adjustable in length. Unless you talk loudly there are issues with your voice getting picked up. I get complaints of not being heard at all. Tried all tests to determine if it is my controller. It is not. If I rig an extension to the boom mic or cup it with my hand, my voice is heard. I cant use my hand while playing obviously, and I shouldnt have to rig anything in order for the mic to work. I attached a picture of what I rigged. There are many complaints of this issue online with this headset. In my opinion, a simple fix of that would make this headset really great overall. Headset is great for audio. Great sounds and volume control. Love that the 3.5 plug is straight and not 90 degree angle. For the price point all pros there.

These sound really good. They're slightly over priced at $80, but the battery life is nearly 30 hours The box says 40 hours, but professional testers came up just short of 30 hours, which is still amazing battery life. Some ask: What's the point of a battery-powered headset if it still has to plug into the controller? The benefit of this is that it gives the headset better, more advanced features such as different EQ presets, and most importantly to me: mic monitoring. If you don't know what this is, it's the ability to hear yourself through the headphone speakers while you're talking. This is so you know how loud you're being. Also, the ear cushions are a comfortable mesh that allows sound to pass inside the ear cushions so that you can hear what's going on around you in your room/environment. Some people don't prefer this, as they want all outside noise to be cancelled out (i.e. Noise-Cancelling Headphones), but I don't prefer this when I'm gaming. I have a pair of Turtle Beach XO Threes for the Xbox One (I believe the equivalent now is the Recon 50), and they are not battery powered. They simply just plug into the controller and have no advanced features and no mic monitoring. I can't hear myself at all when I talk, and I really don't like that. I could be nearly yelling and I probably wouldn't even know it. They do have amazing Noise-cancellation, I can't hear ANYTHING in my room or in the house when using them, but again, that is not what I prefer. They sound good and they were cheaper than the Stealth 300, but it's not what I want for my daily driver when I'm gaming. The price of the Stealth 300 is the only reason I knocked off one star. You can get a slighty cheaper battery-powered headset (Recon 200) which still has mic monitoring, but no EQ presets and half the battery life (about 15 hours). Plus, I've heard they aren't as comfortable as the Stealth 300, as the Stealth 300 uses the same design as the Stealth 600.

I bought a pair of headphones for my son from Walmart a while back and all he did was complain about how uncomfortable they were, so I purchased these and he has had nothing but good to say about them. I'm just now leaving this review in December and the headphones are still working as good as they were when they were brand new and he can wear them for hours at a time without any discomfort to his ears

This headset has been going strong for a while. Unfortunately, my son complains about the time it works without putting it on charge. The comfort is ok for lengths of time (6-8 virtual hours of school). He would prefer one that mutes the microphone on the headset, so he wouldn't have to constantly mute his share.

Bought these black Friday in 2019 with an Xbox for the grandkids to use when visiting. They are still working great, as a matter of fact the 8 year old used them today - Christmas 2020. The microphone picks up voice clearly and sound comes in from other players online great. I believe the headset was a great value.

I do like the sound on the headset. Good directional sound allowed me to hear footsteps and judge the direction I needed to defend during game play. I use these for everything from FPS to casual games. The problem however, is that the plastic band that secures the earpiece to the headset broke after only a year of use. (They broke at the beginning of this year, but due to covid I have held off on trying to get them replaced until now.) I am not rough with my headsets, and always make sure to be gentle when putting them on or pulling them off since that's when most breakage tends to happen. I actually bought two headsets, one for myself and the other for my SO. Both broke in the same exact spot. I was willing to replace them with new pairs, to give them another chance since I did like the sound so much, but was told there are none available. I have been a long time Turtle Beach user, but this has left me very leery about spending money on their products again. They seem to be using cheaper materials than they used to.
