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.
Thinking about getting this for my Xbox. I have the a50x that I won last year but honestly have never been all that impressed with them,or more-so that I liked them but that theirs no way I’d spend $449.99 plus tax CAD on them. Just found out these and from what I’ve seen are a large fitting headset I think I’m gonna pick these up and sell the a50x. Only thing I will miss is the simultaneous Bluetooth using my phone and game like if I’m waiting in a lobby or if im following a guide or walk though, but I can live without that. Had a turtle beach stealth 700 gen 2 max before I won the a50x but just tossed it and bought a wired headset. they became awful with constant cutting in and out and worse when audio got loud. That with occasional disconnects and mic monitoring randomly activating and distorting the sound and having to turn the headset off and on to fix it.
There’s clearly a design flaw, as they commonly seem to break in the same place. There’s no outward adjustability for head width and the natural position to grab a headset is going to be on the sides (which makes that narrow part a weak point).
Maybe I have an average sized head that this headset was made for, but I’ve had mine since release and it looks like new. I have no issues but I can see why there would be issues.
