Turtle Beach - Stealth 700 Gen 2 MAX

What's wrong with the dongle? Lol I have a stealth 700 gen 2 max with zero issues after almost 2 years & just got the 700 gen 3's as well

"it's crap" lol ok bud, thanks for the detailed explanation. Again, havent experienced a single issue in 2 years with the gen 2 & so far the gen 3 has been a nice upgrade. So can't say anything negative about it.

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?

“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...
