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.

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.

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.

If you want something better than low end but don’t want to pay a lot of money - then these might be a good alternative. I bought these on sale around the holidays so didn’t pay full price. Overall the headset is pretty solid - meaning that it’s firm on the head, provides pretty good sound quality. Compared to a competitor set that I have currently, the ear pads are a bit less comfortable but the sound quality is a bit better. The feedback from the mic within the headset is a great plus for games that require chat capabilities. These are a great choice if you want a name brand instead of China quality on that other marketplace.

Solid headset for Xbox one, great sound, comfy to wear and the "mute mic" function by lifting or stowing the mike boom in the upward position is awesome! Especially if you need to mute quick if there's a sudden noisy situation in your home that you dont need your squad hearing lol. Charge lasts a long time, no complaints there but it dies quick after the low battery beeps for the first time. And the beeps are annoying! Controls are simple and easy to use and work well. It's a little flimsy around the earphone swivel, plastic breaks easily if dropped. Simple charge plug and play.

Bought this headset because it was on sale for Black Friday and I just got an xbox one and my ps4 headset won’t work with it and so far from my testing the headset sounds great, tried it with a couple games and some music through Spotify on the Xbox and even tried it with Pokémon Sword on my Nintendo switch, it’s clear sounding and the base is good and the mods are clear, it’s not a $200 head set but it’s definitely a $80 one and it’s the same as the stealth 600s but just not wireless but the wire just plugs up to the controller so save yourself some money and just grab the 300s

First pair of over ear headsets... previous pair was cheap, on ear, 1 earpiece and always had trouble connecting and hearing. So keep in mind, that’s what I’m comparing to. First impression... great quality, easy connection and way easier to hear and communicate. Couple things that kinda bothered was the fact it isn’t wireless but it still needs to charge. Also, I did feel it was a bit heavy and made me feel hot while gaming. Overall, great headset! I would recommend
