Turtle Beach - Stealth 700 Gen 2 MAX

I have the 2nd Gen Stealth 700s and they have constant echo issues and don't connect to the app whatsoever to fix. As well as I have to plug them into my laptop once a month to "restore" them. They also go on weekly shut offs where I can't use them for a week, this is when I have to "restore" them. Turtle Beach refuses to fix this issue, horrible customer support.

Big fan of the arctis 7p. Very comfortable and good battery life. The pulse 3D is ok but the rubber ear muffs feel a little gross to me. Turtle Beach 700s are also nice but for some reason TB headsets and my WiFi do not get along and I constantly get noise dropping or crackling. This rarely happens with the other headsets

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.

# Turtle Beach STEALTH 700 GEN2 MAX

Yes!!! I never had this issue until switching to ps5 with this headset. Can’t wait to get new pair.

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.

I have owned the Turtle Beach Stealth Gen 3 headset for a little over a month and thought I would give a review for those that may be thinking about purchasing. I need a headset that is not full leather or pleather around the cups because not only do I not like the feeling of pleather on my ears, it also gets too warm over any game session. I also wear glasses so I need a headset that can accommodate that. The Gen 3s do have a pleather outer cup but the part that rests against your ear, is a nice cloth, and it does not get too warm. Very comfortable. I bought the white PlayStation Turtle Beach Stealth Gen 3. I also have the 700 gen 2 Max. There is nothing wrong with my gen 2 max. Still sounds awesome, still in perfect condition (I can’t fathom how people are breaking these things, arms or whatever, I place mine carefully on my head and then back on my headset stand when not in use) but I saw the new 60 mm drivers on the gen 3 and since the gen 2 are 2 years old and Black Friday knocked off 50 bucks, and I no longer have an Xbox and I no longer game on pc (got the PS5 Pro) I decided to try the gen 3s. Keep in mind, there are 3 versions of this headset, the pc, the Xbox, and the PS. I got the PS because I only play PlayStation and Nintendo Switch so I can only speak on the performance on the PS version. It is phenomenal. The fit is better than the gen 2 max, it is MUCH louder than the gen 2 max, they connect to the PS much faster than the gen 2s, and the sound quality is a lot more crisp while maintaining that awesome bass tone TB is known for. Signature sound is ok but I changed the eq settings to the “standard v” (if you’re not sure what that is, The Techne” on YouTube did an episode on the 700 gen 3s and he shows you) and I really really like the sound they produce. The battery lasts an extremely long time. They lasted a month before they hit 18% and started beeping at me letting me know to recharge. First thing when getting them open. UPDATE THEM! I turned on both, the Nintendo Switch and the PS5 Pro, and then connected 1 dongle to my Nintendo Switch dock and the other to my PS5 Pro usb c port (I use a usb a to usb c adapter so I can connect the dongle in the front of the PS5 Pro). I turned on the 700 gen 3s. I then opened the Swarm app on my IPhone, connected the headset, and was immediately prompted with an update, which was quick and completed in full. I then turned off the 700 gen 3s and charged them to full (the red light will go off when fully charged). Sound is awesome, I’ve played the last of us part 1, robocop rogue city, Spider-Man 2 and GTA V and all sounded excellent with no drops in connection and no crackling like my gen 2s would occasionally do if I moved too far away from the dongle, and my friends had no problem with my voice, said it sounded just like the gen 2 max. This headset gets really loud. I have mine set to halfway on the Swarm app and that is plenty loud for me, I wouldn’t suggest playing them much louder for a long time, could damage hearing. Overall, I really like them. They are very comfortable, the sound is great, the battery lasts an extremely long time before charging, I like how I can answer my phone or listen to music while gaming (the extra volume wheel on the right side of the headset to control Bluetooth volume is fantastic), I really like being able to change settings on my phone while playing PlayStation without having to get on a pc, and I like being able to switch between my Nintendo Switch and my PlayStation with the press of a button. It is a great headset that ticks all the boxes.

Not sure, they do not hurt my head and I have worn them for 8 hours before. I have the gen 2 max and these feel better to me but both are pretty comfy. I may just be used to the weight. I’ve had the steel series 7p+ and they are very light and comfortable but the sound does not compare at all. I play a lot of single player, cinematic games and these gen 3s and gen 2s do that extremely well.

No popping on mine. Are you getting the white PS version, pc, or Xbox version. My gen 2 max would pop occasionally if I moved around and they are the Xbox version.

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 second this. I have the 700 and love it

I got the turtle beach 700 it has 2 dongles and bluetooth for 100 bucks it conects to one dongle and blue tooth

We have always used the stealth 700 turtle beaches...when those inevitably broke after years of use, my husband and I switched to astro A30's. They are dog shit. I'm going back to turtle Beach. They are a little more expensive at $250-$300 if I remember correctly, but 1000% worth it. This is coming from someone who mains Cav and hearing is everything.

I've never used the 600, only 700.

I love my 700s though, they are literally the best headset I've used, especially sounds wise. They are Bluetooth connected so sometimes the connection gets a little funky, but other than that. I really have no complaints.

Tried them once, reluctantly. I will *never* try them again. I bought the Stealth 700s (I think. They had ANC and were wireless) and wasted 3 hours of my life because they didn't work. I updated firmware, factory reset. Tried this, tried that. The closest I ever got, they'd pair toy PC, the ANC would work, but no audio. And if I changed any settings in their software they basically turned off. I threw em back in the box, got my money back and got Astro A50s instead. They worked instantly, first try, and only got better with an updates and setup.

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...

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

I have two Turtle Beach Stealth headsets, one for gaming and one for work, and I love them both. They’re the only gaming headphones I’ve found with pass through, it’s not great but any little bit helps since my wife gets mad when I can’t tell she’s trying to talk to me lol.
