"still have quality sound and bass ... With a slight adjustment in the bass on Spotify + spatial sound, the Airpods fly! The bass and quality of the Airpods almost reach the same level as the XM4!"
"The best is hearing directly via TV apps such as Disney+, Netflix, Prime and Kayo. The surround, smooth deep bass and clarity with the upfiring speakers on both the bar and rear speakers is 'chef kiss'."
"the sounds grab you tightly like it's saying, "Look at me only." ... when i put the tea pro, i can accurately tell where he is, what he is doing, and heck, the snipping scissors felt so real it tickled my ears and brain."

"have easily the best mic of any gaming headset (I recorded a sung vocal track into Pro Tools with it yesterday)"
"good mic quality"
"the Cloud II's microphone sounded the best, the clearer on every single audio device I've tested. I'm still recovering from that one to be honest. It was a surprise that went against everything I've seen on reviews so I'd like to really underline that one because most people thing the Cloud II microphone isn't good. Well, these are the HP version so maybe the reworked HP version actually improved the microphone. ... It's one of the best microphones i've used. Your voice sounds crisp and clear even if you're speaking lower."

"I am a power lineman, so I needed a rugged watch that could get banged around, be exposed to energized high voltage, and very harsh conditions. The TREX has worked flawlessly through all that."
"Altimeter and barometer and compass (ABC). More butch design and more shock, cold, heat dust and dirt resistant. Feature set more for stuff INCLUDING running. More suited backpacking and hiking which I've used it for a fair bit. Great tool watch"
"it’s super durable. ... The watch clasp has gotten scratched up but the face is still fine after nearly a year of climbing inside with it. ... instinct is very durable"

"Yeah the battery life on Apple Watch is pathetic. ... Like I have the 4G Apple watch which I wear when I am out of town just in case my iphone dies or gets broken and I am in an emergency. That happened to me a few months back. I had my watch and only my watch. I had 4G turned on for emergency services and GPS turned on so I can find my way home. Convienent and life saving right? Except the stupid thing died after an hour and after that I was stuck with no communication abilities at all in the middle of the night wandering the streets. What good is having all of those capabilities if they are just going to die on you after 10 minutes? ... other than as an emergency backup for my phone (which I have now proven is a joke in a real life emergency)"
"If I record for more than 14 minutes it will freeze and battery is already almost dead. This is at night night by the way so temperature isn't high."
"the battery now wears out very quickly - after about 1 hour of usage."

"The headset would randomly restart, disconnect from the base and cause a loud distrotion sound to come across until I BOTH powered down the headset AND disconnected the USB cable from the back of the hub. Pair that with the headset just randomly disconnecting at times (typically when critical to HAVE it) and you have a recipe for disaster."
"Quality of the headset is trash, I’ve had two of those snap over the past year from simply just putting them on my head and taking them off. ... Agreed, have had two break on me in the past year, really terrible quality."
"My OG Arctis Pros are basically perma dead because the cable port ate shit."

"the microphone quality was TERRIBLE out of the box. ... while talking with a friend to help me fix it, friend requested I switch back to the old headset that I'm trying to replace until we tried a new fix. ... once I found something that worked... an hour later, nope, back to trashy sound."
"Microphone on these are ass. ... But the boom mic is terrible"
"detachable microphone sucks fucking ass though"

"I can't find headphones that don't give me a headache after about 40 minutes. ... Gave my ps5 pulse ones to my girl"
"I find I can't wear them for more than an hour without my ears hurting."
"After 30 minutes of gaming, my ears are burning."
Witch one are best for footsteps, I had gen 2 turtle beach 600, was the best for footsteps, but the mic is garbage, get all back ground noise, updated firmware, used apps to eq. But I guess is a eternal problem. I only use them when playing without mic. People complain also is annoying. The new gen turtle beach are getting background noises also?
r/PS5pro • Looking for best headset for ps5 pro ->If it’s only a good headset for overall gaming. Any top five or top 5 YouTube recommendations. But if you focus on footsteps for fps, it’s a hard time finding one. I got pulse 3d, turtle beach 600 gen 2, cloud x 3 and Logitech 300 family. The best one of these for footsteps was the turtle beach, but the microphone is garbage, it keeps getting any background noise, don’t know the gen 3 if they fixed that issue. I updated the firmware but is useless. The second best one of these four options for footsteps for me is the cloud X 3. But for overall gaming any one.
r/PS5pro • New Pro Owner… looking for headset recommendations? ->Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 Max is goated, I’ve used it for years, you can update the headset and map buttons via the app/bluetooth
r/XboxSeriesXlS • Whats the best headset for series X? ->I’ve always had a positive experience with TB. Maybe I’m just lucky. However I have the stealth 600 for my series x and a lot of times the audio is cracking and goes in and out for no reason. I’m like 5 ft from my Xbox. I have to fully restart to make it stop
r/TurtleBeach • The Stealth 500 is the WORST headset I’ve used. ->I'm using turtle beach stealth 6 wireless headphones. Garuda saw the wireless dongle right away and headphones work fine.
r/linux_gaming • Advice for Linux gaming headphones ->Absolutely not. I had to use them for ever and they just end up hurting over time. Px3's were the same way and they were also turtle beach.
r/playrust • I need a good headset for rust no budget limit ->I've had two pairs since they first hit Walmart lol, they hurt over time lol
r/playrust • I need a good headset for rust no budget limit ->I used them all thru covid, I did adjust them plenty of times, I just ended up buying a new headset
r/playrust • I need a good headset for rust no budget limit ->I returned my Turtle Beach 600s for the new Microsoft headset, way more comfortable, and no audio lag. It just works.
r/XboxSeriesXlS • Whats the best headset for series X? ->I’m using a Turtlebeach Stealth 600 gen 2 and it’s been brilliant for fuck all money
r/XboxSeriesXlS • Whats the best headset for series X? ->I was using the stealth 600 gen2 but my son got me the stealth pros. I like them both but the stealth pros sound just a bit better and are massively more comfortable. Which stealth set are u rockin?
r/XboxSeriesXlS • Hey guys, what headphones do you recommend for playing on Xbox Series X? What do you think are the best? ->I love my turtle beach stealth 600’s I can swap back and forth between my laptop and Xbox, by toggling a switch on the usb, then hitting a button on my headphones. Also the battery lasts really long, and doesn’t turn off by itself ever. I think they are good enough for DayZ, I almost always hear the other player before they hear me.
r/dayz • Decent dayz headphones? ->Not great had two recons kill themselves after 1 year and am on a stealth 600 on the way out. Decent features but piss poor long term quality.
r/TurtleBeach • What are your experiences with Turtle Beach headsets? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
