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.
Turtlebeach 700 max gen 2 You can listen music from your phone and eat with that short mic ;)
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.
Xbox, this is the 4 TB product I have. I had 2 different gen 2s which would break after a year but TB customer support would always send me a replacement. This gen 3 was sent when they couldn’t send a green 2 any longer. Never have connection issues, the sound quality and build are the best so far.
I've enjoyed the last two generations of the turtle beach stealth 700s. Just stepped up to the gen 3 because the transmitter was becoming an issue with the gen 2. Great battery life, dual connectivity, and everything else is literally great. The only downside is if you have more than one pair in the same household they tend to have an issue connecting to their respective transmitters but that's not a giant issue for most people. Turtle Beach has been great on the service end of things as well for me
I have the stealth 700 v2. It works well for me.
