Flagged as a product to avoid

1 of 2 research runs entered this as a product to avoid rather than a pick.

RTINGS finds its boom mic does not separate your voice from background noise as well as the cheaper Stealth 600 (Gen 3)'s, making it the weaker choice, and the rest of the press rates it merely fine. It sits in the awkward middle of Turtle Beach's own lineup.

The Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 is an improvement over the Stealth 600 Gen 3 in almost every way. The Stealth 700 Gen 3 has more detailed headphone audio with better bass, larger ear pads, a sturdier build, and simultaneous Bluetooth + 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity. The Stealth 600 Gen 3 has cloth earpads and is lighter.

The bass hits harder, explosions feel punchier, everything just sounds more full and immersive. But beyond that, it's just way louder. And you can really notice it in games where you've got a lot going on. the shooters with tons of bullets and footsteps flying around you compared to most headsets.

Getting started is fairly simple, although the exact process depends on your platform. The headset comes with two Crossplay USB wireless transmitters, allowing you to keep one connected to your console and another connected to a PC or compatible platform. Once the appropriate transmitter is connected, power on the headset and let it establish the wireless connection.

In our Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 review , we praised this headset's great sound, solid connectivity, and comfy fit. It does come in at a tough MSRP, and the lack of ANC for such an expensive set of cans feels like a miss, but it's a solid pick at 50% off.

That's actually a pretty big deal for multi-system gamers. >> Huge. So the XWH gives you that instant no fuss connection to one system, the Xbox. The TB700 G3 gives you instant switching between many systems >> and both can handle like game audio and phone chat at the same time. >> Yeah, both do simultaneous connections.

The Stealth 700 Gen 3 is an admirable effort at this price point, with sound quality that punches above its class. There are a few comfort and usability issues, but we don’t think they’re dealbreakers at this price.

Turtle Beach have completely knocked it out of the park when it comes to the design. They feature this two-tier black and silver metallic design with hard plastic and premium stainless steel bands. You can see that there's a two-tier design. We've got stainless steel hard plastic on the left ear cup.

After doing some research gen 3 seems like a pretty good option. Seems to be more durable because they finally used metal joints. Is that so? I can't find any complaints about gen 3 falling apart like this. There are some other issues but most seem to be firmware/user related.

What you actually get is a reliable 2 to 3 second handoff when you press the crossplay button with a momentary audio duck while it switches radios. Here's why the headset can only be connected to one 2.4 GHz transmitter at a time. It's not mixing two USB sources. It's switching between them.

I personally had no trouble wearing it for extended sessions, though some gamers might find it on the heavier side. The real comfort hiccup lies in the headband—it lacks sufficient padding, which led to some discomfort and headaches after relatively short gaming bursts.

It is also slightly over-specced for those who only play lightly on Switch or smartphones. If you focus on handheld consoles and prioritize lightness and portability, USB-C dongle-equipped earphones or a lightweight wireless headset may be sufficient.

The only drawbacks with the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 (Gen 3) are that its built-in microphone's audio quality isn't on par with the headset's audio quality, and updating its firmware can be an annoyingly convoluted process.
