The Turtle Beaches are good. They aren’t perfect, but they’re reliable and have decent enough sound and don’t squeeze your head. I have the Stealth 600 Max, but any of them would be fine.
I’ve had the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 Max for over 5 years now and it has served me well for gaming on both pc and Xbox. I’d recommend it but I’m no expert so if anyone knows a better one from the options you provided I’d go with their suggestion.
I’ve had my Stealth 600 Gen 2 Maxs since a deployment 3 years ago. I’ve had absolutely zero issues with them, and the battery lasts way longer than I’d ever need them to (I’m talking months between charges, when I was playing 3-4 hours a day). Sound quality is good, the adjustment knobs are easy to use, and the flip down mic is convenient. The headphone pads are also decently breathable and don’t make my head hot. I tried a buddy’s Stealth 700s with the memory foam headphones, and they legitimately made my head sweat.
I just got the turtle beach stealth 600 plus (xbox version). Paid $90, on sale, and so far they work great. For the price I was surprised at how comfortable they feel.
I have the Pulse also but I just tilt my glasses to where the sides are above the headphones
Depends on what you need. If it’s footsteps, it will be a hard pick. I’m on my fourth headset. The best was turtle beach 600 gen 2. But never buy it. It have a chronicle problem with the microphone getting background noises. I don’t now the new generation. For footsteps I’m sitting on xcloud 3. For any other game…any choice that you pick top 5 on YT will be great.
I guess depends on the game. I got pulse 3d, cloud 3, turtle beach 2 gen, Arctis nova 5. Sound wise Arctis nova 5 is better than these. Comfort + sound cloud 3 wireless.
I was using the stealth 600 gen2 but my son got me the stealth pros. I like them both but the stealth pros sound just a bit better and are massively more comfortable. Which stealth set are u rockin?
Seems to be a specific build quality with the Q45, but we'll see, I've pick up a pair already, just for my office desk. I had turtle beach stealth 600 gen 2's a long time ago that I treated extra carefully, band still snapped over time without any force. Sometimes there is just shitty manufacturing.
