Turtle Beach - Stealth 700 Gen 2

Yea I really like them but the chat mixer is a big issue for me, plus the dual dongle would be nice too since I also have a ps5, I also I could hear myself better on the g2, I imagine it would be the same for the g3.

Only problem I had with tb 700 g2 is the cheap plastic that deteriorates over time, I never had an issue with connection tho, hopefully they fixed the issue with the plastic on the g3.

Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 is a good wireless headset and comfy. No lag audio, matches screen on time.  Issues: 3d audio could probably be better but idk how that's set up with headsets technically. Seems good but sometimes it's not as good as older ones I've had. A year after, the left side (mic side) broke with the plastic. Super glued it which saved it for a few months before breaking again same spot. Other side also has a crack forming. Game and party audio volume control gets messed up sometimes. I wish they designed it to have a stopping point like the overall volume control. For some reason chat/game volume can adjust infinitely in any direction so it will have uneven audio from people talking and game volume, gotta turn it off and adjust the volume again before turning on. Overall I'd give it 8/10. $120 but they really need to switch to metal for above the earphone partts that connects upwards. That plastic bends when putting it over your head and if it's big, it'll put strain on that plastic and eventually crack like mine did. You have to be gentle with it like I did but that still doesn't stop the cracks over time

I hope that they fixed the broken mic monitoring levels with this one. I pre-ordered the original because I was pretty sure it was exactly what I was looking for. It was. I never way except for one that ended up being a dela breaker: the complete lack of mic monitoring. Even on the highest setting I still couldn't hear my own voice which resulted in my shouting which is why mic monitoring exists. I was told by M$ that mine was flawed as it wasn't supposed to be this way. Two exchanges and a year or so later (I was holding out hoping that a firmware update would fix the issue but never did) I finally gave up on the thing. It was sad because I really like the simplicity and the innovative adjustment knobs being the entire side of the can was incredible and at that price point it was a winner. Other than the one flaw. The only other issue I had, and it may be related, was that the mic boom didn't extend far enough. Maybe if you have a very small head it protruded far enough to reach your mouth. Me being a fully formed adult though it came to about the mid point of my cheek. There's a chance that this also caused my muffled voice but those on the other end said my voice sounded fine so I doubt it. My hope is that they fixed this issue with the new one as that's all I wanted. I read that the boom has been extended so, even if they made no other changes to the mic monitoring, it may help the issue. Ideally they cranked up the mic monitoring volume too since they have adjustments. It never made sense that the highest possible setting was still lower than every other headset on the market's lowest setting. Why have settings if you can barely even hear it on the highest? I'm pre-ordering this right now because I'm tired of my Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 and it's horrid connectivity issues. It only connects probably 50% or so of the time when initially powered on and requires being powered down and back on to get it to connect. Then, once connected, it will regularly start to break up and cut out. It never fully drops the connection like the Stealth Ultra Controller does (I'd rather have the headset drop the connection fully mid-game than the controller but I didn't get that choice) but the constant breaking up is something I'm not willing to put up with anymore. I digress. Hoping this new refreshed version of the 1st party headset is the answer to my (relatively low) needs.

Had tb for many years.  700 then 700 gen2 and the 700 max. Generally no issues and they all got plenty of use.  Nothing ever snapped or broke off,  the people who say the arms snap... either ur heads massive or your stood on them. General wear has been my issues like the volume button stopping working and battery life going.  Had one where the sound was going that was 700 first gen. The max which I currently have annoys me as I have to log in to the app every time I use it to turn mic monitor off and change the wheel on the side to sound from my party.  Very annoying as it should be the standard setting. The dongles annoy me to,  xbox has Bluetooth damn it just connect to that

Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 1 was a great set- with the exception of the dongle which broke away from the housing pretty early on- then the headset started needing to be reset every time I turned them on for sound to fully come through (very soft sound for any game when first turning them on) + some connection issues. Got the gen 2 to replace them and they were uncomfortable and didn’t connect properly/ had a tinny quality. I’m back to the gen 1s and I’m considering the 3s. I’m not a pro gamer so I can’t justify something like the Logitech AC50x or similar. Super expensive, but I’m tired of resetting the damn headset every time I turn them on to use my PS5. Are the gen 3s going to work for me if I liked the gen 1s?

“Because people don’t know how to setup or take care of a product”? lol yeh right. These stealth 700s are pure garbage and you will find out soon enough. The dongle is utter trash and you’ve just become another mug for paying so much for their latest iteration that will still have the same issues.

It’s crap

Constant disconnections, distorted audio. I originally bought a stealth 700 Gen 2, it faulted and got sent a new 700 gen 2 max. That then faulted and they sent me another gen 2 max. I gave up at this point and replaced them with a wired Logitech g335 for £25 from Amazon. Audio hasn’t dropped once. For £150-£200 for these Turtlebeach ones, they’re an absolute disgrace. Good sound quality, atrocious quality control and baffling decision to use the useless dongle. Look on Turtlebeach Reddit, full of people complaining about the 700 gen 2.

I have only ever had Turtle Beach headset. From the cheap little wired pair to the expensive Pro series. I upgraded to the Stealth 700's after the wired pair. They lasted a little more than a year before they broke above the swivel point of the headset and earpiece. I was out of warranty and had to buy another headset. I got the Stealth 700 Gen 2. Close to the 1 year mark, they broke in the same place. They sent me a new pair.That pair broke out of warranty as well in the same place. So I bought the expensive, $300 pair thinking they would be better cause they were more expensive. In less than 6 months, I had to have them replaced too. They broke/cracked at the place where the screws hold on the earpads area. They sent me another pair. This pair did the exact same thing. They replaced them, and I promptly sold that 3rd pair on Ebay. I used that money to then buy the Stealth 700 Gen 2's on Amazon. Along with an extended warranty. I really liked this headset. It felt and sounded great! I thought I had it made. Then the wheel for the programmable button stopped working. I used it to turn up my bluetooth music on my cell. So I called up the extended warranty and filled out their form and got my money back. I used it to purchase the stealth 700 Gen 2 Max in Cobalt and Copper from TB. They look SO good! But I couldn't get them to pair up properly so they had me return them and sent me another pair. The pair they sent was obviously refurbished. It wasn't even in a TB box! I was upset! I sent an email to them. I had my new pair less than 1 week and didn't even get them replaced with another new pair. They said it depends on their inventory at the time. That is a load of crap! Then the wheel for the programmable button failed again 11 months later. So they sent me another pair. I figured I would still use the old pair til the broke or quit working and keep the new pair for emergencies. No joke, that 11 month old pair cracked and broke where the headpiece attaches to the ear cup two weeks later, and after the 1 year warranty was out. I was so happy I already had them replaced because of the volume button not working right. So I am now using the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max, in Cobalt and Copper. And when this pair breaks at the headset/earpiece, or the wheel stops working, I will be looking elsewhere for my new headset. I would have switched it up before, but most of the headsets were warranty replaced. Live and learn... If they would just fix the cheap plastic at the junction of the headset/earpiece, there wouldn't be a problem with them breaking anymore. It's sad because I love the way they feel, they are very comfortable and they sound Amazing! Great bass when you listen to music because of 60 mm drivers. They need to increase the volume a bit more too, especially on calls. People are hard to hear when I answer thru the headset. I love them but am totally tired of them breaking every year in the same general spot. I tried and tried to stay with Turtle Beach but just can't do it anymore. I hope this helps you decide.

I can comment on Gen2, im ysing them for 2+ years now, they look and feel the same as the first day i got them. In rare occasions, they fell from my table few times and nothing happend. Soo build quality feels good on them, atleast for me. Mic is sturdy and moves sharp and sturdy, without any travel, mute function works, every button works. Bear in mind i didnt use a lot of premium headsets in my life.

i also have never had a problem with my 700s, ever. got the gen 1 like 7-8 years ago or something like that, then got my current gen 2’s back in 2020 and now i’m looking at the 3’s. neither of my headsets have ever busted on me or let me down in ANY way and that’s even after owning them for about ~3-4 years each. quite looking forward to upgrading!

I love my Turtlebeach stealth 700 series. insane audio.even tho it can be a little messy with connecting

The 700s quality is dramatically improved from the 600. I won't get a 600 ever again, thing snapped on me putting on my head.

Interesting, in my 3 or 4 years of using Turtle Beach, I haven't encountered a single one of these problems you mention...
