Turtle Beach - Stealth 700 Gen 2 MAX

Turtle beach 700 gen2! Tried like 4 different ones after I broke my gen1 700s. Love them. The sounds from arctis and Xbox and others isn’t the same. In Pubg you need it.

They are the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 MAX Multiplatform. I had these before the stealth pro came out! I’ve never tried but heard good things about those too. Honestly was going to go with them instead cuz the 700s wouldn’t stay connected and kept having issues, but Amazon shipped me multiple pairs until I got it right and now I love them just like my gen1. I like just plugging in mine too when I’m done gaming to charge. The stealth pros have a battery you take out and have to recharge and stuff right? Some people complain about that.

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

Feels sturdy to me. Even sturdier than the gen 2 max I have which is still in perfect condition. I had the gen 2 max for about two years but was curious about the new drivers so I got the gen 3 white PlayStation version. I love it. It’s louder than the gen 2 max, it turns on and connects to my ps faster, the sound is incredible with no crackling. Mic works great, friends said it sounds like my gen 2 max. Update them right away. I had one dongle in ps5 pro and the other in the Nintendo switch OLED dock. Both devices were powered on and the update went great with no issues, completed in full and I updated thru the IOS app on my phone, not the pc app. I recommend having a headset stand to hang them on and I always place them on the stand when not on my head. I think they are more comfy than the gen 2 max but that’s my opinion. Nice crisp audio and great custom settings made Star Wars battlefront, gta v, red dead 2 and cyberpunk sound phenomenal. 50 bucks less now, my favorite Black Friday pickup of the year.

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?

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!

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...
