I have the turtle beach stealth 700gen2 I like it for my Xbox because it lets me use my phone for Bluetooth and also has a setting called “true hearing” or something where you press and button and it amplifies sounds like footsteps and stuff, it sucks for most games but works pretty good in this one
Depends which player I am using to play the disk.
If I am using my Panasonic UB820, then my Bose QuietComfort headphones.
If I am using my Xbox Series X, then my Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 headphones.
OP, I have the Turtle Beach Stealth 700s, and I love them.
I really like that they connect simultaneously to my Xbox and my phone, so I can easily talk through the boom mic either to my teammates or if somebody calls me.
My only complaint is that they come with a second dongle for a computer and the software (Turtle Beach app) will not allow me to update without having the second dongle connected. I don't game on a computer, so hooking it up to somewhere just to update it is very inconvenient.
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 like my black shark pros. Turtle beach is the one that broke on me. I had the stealth gen 700. Those are basically the cheapest headset though. You can't buy the cheapest and expect quality.
I play some competitive FPS games e.g CS2, Valorant, R6 siege and Overwatch on PC. I have tried messing with the equalisers and different presets but I feel gaslighted with the way I miss simple audio queues.
Is anyone else experiencing similar? Or am I losing my touch as I grow older and play less frequently. I used to be quite proud of my recognition of audio cues when I used my old stealth 700 gen 2’s, but I upgraded about a year or so ago and admittedly haven’t been gaming as much.
My question is, is this common with others or am I losing my touch and needing to pay more attention to audio? Is there any settings other than my equaliser I can change to help me?
Other than this I love the headset very much, comfortable, long battery, base station is SO convenient.
I experienced the same, Bluetooth crapped out. It would connect to the Xbox for a moment then keep disconnecting. On two different Xbox’s. I was lucky tho, I returned it on the last day of my insurance. I just happened to go look in my best buy insurance and seen and grabbed the headset out the drawer 😂.
I’ve had the Xbox headset (first pic) but it was lacking in features after coming from the turtle beach 700 gen 2. My gen 2 kept cracking in the same spot, so it was a weak link. My friend also experienced the same crack. It was just such a good headset, I would just buy insurance.
So as I was doing a claim, turtle beach sent me the Stealth 700 Gen 3 instead, since they know of the gen 2 problem, and it’s been love ever since!! I don’t see myself ever switching from it. It’s comfortable, long battery life, feels super premium, they went to metal instead of plastic. I wear them the same way and I have no issue. Once you get used to the buttons and wheels, it’s smooth sailing.
Only complaint, the dongle will sometimes need to be taken out and reconnected but I don’t mind reaching over and doing that. And it’s not often. I switch between my Xbox and my PC every day. I haven’t had an issue since they sent it to me over 6 months ago.
