Turtle Beach - Stealth 700 Wireless DTS 7.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro - Black/Blue

From all the horror stories on the XBOX version of this product, I was skeptical, but these seem alright. As far as sound, these are right on par with the Stealth 520's, which sound amazing. They have great highs, lows, and mid range. I have used the Playstation Golds for years and I always liked them, however I believe these sound better. I also had the Playstation Platinums, which were returned promptly because personally I thought the Golds sounded better. I got the Stealth 700's hours after their release and they sounded great, however there was a loose piece of plastic in the right ear cup internally so it rattled every time you moved your head. Returned them and got a second set, updated the firmware and went off to the races. The fact that you can pair your phone via Bluetooth and have it linked to the PS4 simultaneously was what I was interested in, and it works great. I stream Pandora music through my phone and mute game music and it sounds perfect. You can control all of the headsets features through the app, such as noise cancelling, superhuman hearing, mic feedback, chat prioritize, and sound category. The changes selected in the app give a brief tone in the ear cup and are instant. The buttons on the side (superhuman hearing, Bluetooth, and power) have no distinct different feeling, so its difficult to change anything by feel with the headset on, but the app makes it quick and effortless. For comfort level, they are pretty good as well. They are a little heavier than the Stealth 520's, but they are actually quite comfy. I don't find myself needing to readjust too often, and in comparison to the Platinums and Golds, they are great. There are a couple reasons why these are not a 5 star. First, if the headset dies, you can't plug it in and keep using it, this is not a pass through headset, the instant something is plugged in to charge, it shuts off. Second, the connection is a bit choppy at times. It usually doesn't have too much issue, but it may lose signal for a few tenths of seconds that may drive some people nuts. It seems when there is a lot going on the screen, the headset has trouble differentiating all the various sounds being thrown at them. Lastly, the leatherette ear cushioning is not exactly the most breathable thing in the world, so you will need to readjust them every so often to prevent ear discomfort, but other than these minor issues, all seems good. I had no issues like the XBOX one version reviews show, and I DID get a faulty one off the bat, but I think I will enjoy these ones for some time now.

Let me start off by saying that I own two other headsets the Astro A40TR for Xbox one and the Hyperx cloud core, plus a pair of V-Moda M100. So I'm no stranger to headphones and headsets. This also is not a bad review against Best Buy. These headsets are, by far, one of the worst headsets you can buy for $130. I'll start off with the connection itself; Turtle beach is NOT using bluetooth but instead opted to use 2.4GHz sounds good in principle right? Wrong! The connection on this thing is utter garbage it cuts out every five seconds for around one second, sometimes longer. Keep in mind I'm five feet away from the usb sound card. So this thing is useless right off the bat. So does it at least sound good? I mean for $130 it has to sound good! Nope there's no option to have flat equalization, a feature that my old Turtle Beach x12 has, so what you get is the same sound a boombox from the 80's has. Strong bass presence that makes the mids muddy. There is no way to adjust this even in Turtle Beach's hub on PC. Surround sound; This is the one thing Turtle Beach got right the virtualization does a pretty decent job of placing sounds around your' head. It's no Dolby Atmos but it's pretty dang good for the price. Last but not least is if you own the PS4 Slim you cannot control chat volume, I know this isn't Turtle Beach's fault but they need to put it on the box. Sure you can bypass this by plugging the optical cord into your' tv. Here's the problem though; No 1. the included optical cord is not long enough (about eight inches). No. 2 if you're like me you're using the optical port already.

This is my second Turtle Beach Stealth 700. The first one I had was unpairing itself from the receiver every day so I returned it and bought a Platinum Headset from Sony. That was a mistake and I now am back to Turtle Beach with a second Stealth 700 and it is doing much better. I don't think there are that many wireless PS4 headset out there that will give you surround sound, a good quality mic and an easy way to adjust the volume between the game and voice chat. Setup is simple and there are instructions on how to properly connect the receiver and the optical cable in order to separate the game sound and voice chat. I mentioned above that I tried the PS4 Platinum headset and the volume control on that one was not great at all. It was a toggle that would increase the volume of one sound and decrease the other. You couldn't fine tune it and adjust it as accurately as you can when you have two separate volume knobs (not digital buttons) like you do on the Turtle beach. When you play games like Rainbow 6, being able to focus on the game sound only is a great feature. Battery life is great. I can go for about 10 hours before needing a charge, and that's with the Bluetooth on. Speaking of which, that is a nice plus. I can answer calls right on my headset and it will mute the mic for the others in the game. You can also play your music and videos through the headset. The volume for the phone is controlled on the phone itself, giving you the ability to control the volume of 3 source separately. The phone app is also good for changing the settings to the headset, like how loud the voice announcer guy is when he says "Headset On" and "Bluetooth On". I don't think the superhuman hearing is that useful. You sacrifice a lot in order to hear everything louder, which isn't a good thing in most games. The headset will also sometimes get really choppy. I've once had the sound cut out completely for a few seconds before working again. I don't know what causes it but it hasn't been happening enough for me to return it again. This is the best wireless headset you can get on PS4 with a good quality microphone, separated volume control and Bluetooth for connecting to your phone. I definitely recommend it over Sony's own headset.

The headset is good (kinda), but the Bluetooth is not. About the headset, I've only had this for about two days (11-24-18) and for some reason as of from when I got it till right now (11-26-18) this headset has a buzzing sound in the left ear. It is very annoying especially if you're playing a game and the in-game sounds are quiet. Don't know if it is a defect so I am returning it asap. And about the Bluetooth, it works GREAT with the App and listening to music is just as great too. But when talking on the phone with someone is another story. I was talking to a friend of mine on FaceTime Audio, where the audio quality is VERY clear when using the mic on the phone or the earbuds it came with. But when using this headset and the Bluetooth feature, it is trash. My friend was saying that each time I would talk, there would be a buzzing sound and would go away when i didn't talk. It also sounds like I'm talking into a soda can, I tested that out by using the Voice Recorder in the Phone itself. Overall, if you're getting this product and it has a buzzing sound, return it and get another one (or don't). And if you're getting this so you can talk on the phone while playing your video game, I wouldn't get it...

The Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gaming Headset for PS4 and PS4 Pro was the perfect addition to my holiday shopping list for my 16 year old son. He is a hardcore gamer, and shopping for him is always hard, but not this year. His old headset broke, and when I went looking for a new one, this was at the top of my list. For the price, you really can't beat the value this headset provides. The complete surround sound is incredibly. I tried it after he asked me too, and it really sounds like you are right there in the middle of the game. These are also great for those who wear glasses like me, as the have a special fit just for people who wear glasses. This made them super comfortable! If you are looking for a reasonably priced headset that gives you the same benefits and quality of some of the more expensive options, this is a great choice.

The only way to update this headset's firmware is by connecting it to a device that has Windows 7 (or newer) or Mac OS 10.12 (or Newer). If you're somebody who only owns, say, mobile Android or iOS devices, not only are you left unable to update the headset's firmware, but the available and update-to-date mobile app (Turtle Beach Audio Hub) does not provide a mobile means for implementing the headset's current firmware update. The first-party Turtle Beach Audio Hub app can be downloaded to and launched on Android and iOS devices, but manipulation of any of its features is impossible when the app recognizes (via Bluetooth) that the headset's firmware is not up-to-date. Without the headset firmware update, this headset DOES still work with the PS4/PS4 Pro. However, I need to make it abundantly clear that the audio quality available without the firmware update installed is extremely poor. Before purchasing the Stealth 700, I had been a long-time user of Turtle Beach headsets. This was the first wireless Turtle Beach product I've purchased. After this product experience, I plan to return to exclusively using wired headsets/microphones and continue to supplement their audio rendering quality with first and third-party in-line amplification devices.

for starters, sound quality is good. i like the app for faster access to adjusting the sound. and that's about all that's good about these. build quality has gone down hill compared to older models. battery life is terrible. i've had to reconnect the headphones to the bluetooth dongle just about every other time i use them. they will connect to my phone but even when i turn them off to charge, some how, charging them turns them back on. so i have to go into my phones settings to disconnect them. and this happens when using the ps4. i would want to watch a movie and not use the headset and never fails, plug them in to charge, the ps4 will switch to headset. now i am comparing these to a set of stealth 400 that i've had for close to 5 yrs and only reason i'm still not using them is b/c i lost the dongle for them. i could play for 6-7 hrs for 3-4 days till they needed to be recharged. and they seemed to be built better. better plastics, better feel, better sound, better mic, etc.

I didn't realize my PS4 games were broadcasting in surround sound until I started wearing this headset. I like to wind down after a long day playing a game of Call of Duty or Madden NFL on our family's PS4 after putting the kids to bed for the night.  The kids can hear me playing video games from their rooms and won't go to sleep unless I mute the sound or am wearing a headset.  This headset has really worked out great for me not only in being able to be stealthy about playing video games without waking my children up at night but by also providing a level of sound quality that is superior to what was otherwise being projected from the speakers on my television. We don't have a home theater set up with surround sound ourselves. So, I've really been enjoying being able to use my Turtle Beach headset to experience watching movies and playing video games in surround sound on my family's PS4 using the Stealth 700 wireless headset. From my experience both the noise cancellation and surround sound features have worked incredibly well and the battery life has been remarkable. I'd highly recommend this headset!
