"Literally couldn't think of any pair of IEMs + dongle dacs could sound as analytical as the C3P+ for around $70. ... detail is just sooo much better. The C3P+ is just leagues ahead the I5 in terms of detail and resolution. ... the C3P+ is actually the closest sounding one to really expensive iems or headphone that I have."
"delivers the full package here. ... betting the house regarding this on this pair was fully worth it. ... It matches up (I would not say surpasses) a lot of wired in-ear monitors within this price bracket and slightly above. ... The prowess it shows in keeping the instrument separation clean is something that I really, really appreciate myself for buying this pair, not to mention the rumbly yet controlled, precise lows keep on coming and the highs soar without spice, without hurting your ears."
"Nothing short of a home run, here- the Ear once again brings me all; the way the bass hits on this track is very impactful but not bloated, punchy but not overpowering, and Kendrick’s powerful vocals shine through bright, while I enjoyed the way the Sax keeps on coming in at the right junctions of the song, and the way the cymbals play out on this track is probably one of the best I have heard through amongst all the gear that I have owned and currently own- the first in a wireless, and one of the few if I consider all. ... the timbre sounds natural and uncoloured"

"I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards."
"Been using them for about four years working out in my gym, and cycling daily (45+ minutes on a bicycle outdoors)."
"They last absolutely forever (I know 1980s models still in daily use)"

"10-15 day battery life"
"16 days battery life on my fenix. ... The other aspect I really appreciate about my fenix is the battery life. 16 days or so. With everything I have to change these days (laptops, mice, keyboards, headphones, watches, phones), I appreciate not having to worry about it too often."
"the battery lasts 2 weeks, that's with 5 days worth of tracking runs and day to day use. Incredible."

"It's been awesome for the month i've had mine and is able to connect to xbox/ps5 at the same time as your PC and can have dual-channel audio going on at the same time."
"easy to... pair with 2 devices at once. ... I use it to connect with my pc and my iPhone and it handles the audio switch really well."
"internal connections for example i use Sunshine & Moonlight to game stream to my living room TV or my bedroom projector and I get the full 2.5gig speed test to my desktop from the tv, projector and my phone that are on wifi"

"And the AI they advertise actually works. ... With my gen 2s people could hear my dogs bark in the other room and now they can’t."

"bad connection with pc vía USB (im not making the de mic work)"
"I had many times where sonar audio devices flat out wouldn’t work properly and required a restart or reinstall to fix, and I got tired of it."
"The one problem I have with them is when they go into a standby mode and come out of it, the mic stops working, both on Bluetooth and with the dongle. ... So like if I'm in a Discord chat and I mute for 20 minutes and come back, I have to put the buds back in the case and take them out for the mic to work again."

"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 bluetooth option is honestly not good got a lot of issues - not typing, typing in delay , keys spam - pressing a key and suddenly it keeps spamming it , not recommended ... I only have Bluetooth issue"
"the 700s wouldn’t stay connected and kept having issues ... Amazon shipped me multiple pairs until I got it right"
"constantly disconnects from the DAC, and reconnects ... 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."

"My Timps got holes after 4 weeks of wearing lol ... Forgot exactly where but it was the toe box. ... Never seen running shoes with such a shitty build quality before. ... Altra is definitely skimping on the materials since they were sold a few years ago."
"I beat the ever living shit out of my shoes in the Colorado high country and have had to shoe goo the soles twice in spots so it’s definitely not bomb proof."
"Left earbud broke after three days usage."

"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? ->The best wireless options within that budget are the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 (the version that's Xbox/PC compatible is generally the cheapest, at least on Amazon), and the Logitech G535 LIGHTSPEED. Both should perform around the same as the headset you have sound wise, something that's better would likely cost around £100.
r/buildapc • Budget wireless gaming headset advaice. ->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 love my turtle beach stealth for Xbox ! I don’t know if it’s good because my comparison is a shitty no name headset I had before 😆 But I love it can hear the steps and the exact location they are coming from
r/CODWarzone • New headset for cod ->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 ->Xbox turtle beach was the best for affordability. It’s also wireless, operates in Bluetooth or through dongle receiver, and is fairly durable if you store them safely after use.
r/XboxGamers • Best headset for Xbox. ->If you can still get them (and if he doesn't have a standalone mic) then the turtle beach stealth 600 is great and usually less than £100
r/Gamer • Recommended PC headset for boyfriend ->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? ->Avoid the Razer Kaira pro you have in the screenshot. Only lasted me 2-3 years untilt it failed. On both sides they started to crack and then eventually failed. The stress point isn't fit for purpose. I now use the Turtle Beach Stealth 600. Increible battery life and no complaints. I prefer the fabric/aeromesh material for the ear cups. I find that the pleather material flakes after a few years. If you don't need wirless features,I think those Arctics Nova's get a decent write up. https://preview.redd.it/0c17yy8yey5g1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=68f7b1bd060d3c13c50bd12800f68c155b6920cd
