Turtle Beach - Stealth 700 Gen 3 Multiplatform Gaming Headset

I've tried all of these. The Turtle Beach stealth 700 Gen 3 (not Gen 2 max) is the best out of all the headsets. However, the Sony Explore Earbuds are also fantastic. Turtle Beach has the largest drivers with great mids and deep bass. The Explore uses the Audeze planar Magnetic tech and executes it FAR superior to the Sony Pulse Elite. Don't even consider Pulse 3D. The two I recommended have awesome spatial sound awareness and profiles. They're also exceptional for music and both can dual connect to your PS5 and phone. 

Not good Do the maxwells use planar magnetic drivers which are designed to be inherently flat and play audio in its purists form with little to no enhancements. You’ll get bass but not the rumbling/thumping bass you are probably use to hearing in standard dynamic drivers which 99.% if headsets use If you want bass I’d recommend the Astro A50x, Arctis nova pro wireless ore the Arctis nova 7ps. The turtle beach stealth 700 gen 3s are also a good choice The above will give you balanced audio with both bass and clarity/detail. The a50x and turtle beach headset are a smige more bass heavy but not overbearing though

I have a new Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 and it’s awesome

Hello! You get diminishing returns very quickly, so it depends what you value. At the $200 range, Nova 7 Gen 2 and Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 are the best picks for FPS. The Blackshark V3 Pro (newest version) has some improvements at the $250 range like ANC and simultaneous BT which is nice. It can also save multiple on board EQ profiles. For $300 and FPS, I still think the Astro A50 Gen 5 is an amazing option, and still my go to. The stock pads are a little small, but I made my own called the StealthZ pad, sold by WickedCushions. The A50 Gen 5 takes full parametric EQ and has a class-leading mic and bass response. It handles EQ really well. The Nova Pro Wirless is still a great option to this day, but the mic performance is just okay, and as you said, EQ is more limited but still very capable. Overall I think you'd be performing at a very similar level with any of these. It comes down to preference on design and features. Nova Pro has leatherette pads and ANC with more isolation, whereas the A50 is very open sounding (does not block external noise).

I just got a Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3. Definitely the best headset I’ve ever used. The features on this are insane and you can customize your audio settings on PC with the Swarm app. https://a.co/d/bHdjLaS

If this helps, my top 3 headsets are, in no particular order (rankings below), the Astro A50’s, the Audeze Maxwell and the new SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Elite - with the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless right behind ‘em. Here are my breakdowns, as someone that owns all of them (well, minus the Nova Pro Wireless - I don’t have them any longer since I’ve upgraded): The Audeze Maxwell have, hands-down the absolute best audio quality I’ve ever heard in a pair of headphones. However, that being said…they’re hella uncomfortable. Even with Wicked Cushions pads and headband. They’re just soooo heavy that I (and many others) struggle to wear them for extended periods of time (for me, over an hour). The firmware also has a history of ring an absolute mess and the phone app is garbage. As for the Arctis Nova Elites and the A50’s, it a tie! I truly cannot figure out for the life of me which I like best, but factoring in everything, I’m leaning towards the Arctis Nova Elites - by a small margin. I’ve not really had the Nova Elites for long enough to compare. Comfort on both are top-notch. The mic does take the win for the A50’s, tho - it really has one of the best mics on a gaming headset! The Arctis Nova Elite mic does still have that “tinny” SteelSeries sound, but not as bad as their other models. But yeah, sound quality on both are God-Tier… just under the Maxwells. It really boils down to what you prefer. The A50’s have a docking station, so they’re always charged. The Arctis Nova Elites have a swappable battery. So again, it’s always charged, but with a little more effort, lol. I also do think the Nova Elites look better, overall. Oh and Astro just released a new badass orange color in the A50X’s (see more info on that in my rankings, below)! I will also say…if this is important to you… the A50’s only support 16bit at 48kHZ on console and only 24bit at 48kHz on PC. The Nova Elites, however, support 24bit at 48kHz on console and 24bit at 96kHz on PC! 👀 And then, right behind those, I rank the Nova Pro Wireless. A lot of the same feature and functions as the Elites, but the audio isn’t AS good, nor is the build quality. So, my personal rankings are: 1: SteelSeries Arctis Nova Elite if money is absolutely not an object/concern. The app experience is pretty great, as well! These are my main for the PS5, as that is my primary gaming system. 2: Astro A50 or A50x. Both are the same headset, but the docking station for the A50x is great for multi-platform use and even has HDMI passthrough so you can even get true Game/Chat Mix on PS5! It’s one of the only headsets that have this unique feature and that’s implemented so perfectly. Otherwise, the A50’s are identical, minus the HDMI passthrough inputs. I use these as the main on my PC (RTX 4090, Intel 14th Gen i9 and 64GB DDR5 RAM) with the Logitech GHub program, so I’ve not tried the app, if there is one. 3: Audeze Maxwell. Absolutely phenomenal sound and aesthetics, marred by an extremely heavy weight, bad firmware and PC program, as well as a terrible app experience. But seriously…for these, the sound truly does make up for all the negatives! 4: The Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. If you want all the features and functions of the Nova Elites, but don’t mind the slight downgrade in sound quality. 5: As an honorable mention, I’m putting the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3’s here. Not only are they not too expensive, the have the best sound of any $200-range headphone I’ve ever used. Hella comfy and the dual-dongle works perfectly and without flaw. Meaning, you can have a dongle on one device, the other on another device and switch between them …INSTANTLY. It truly is amazing to see it in action. And the sound is superb for the price range! The app also isn’t bad, either! And of course, I absolutely recommend…regardless of the headphones you get…invest in a pair of Wicked Cushions to maximize comfort and sound (I personally use and love their Freeze ones - they’re a “cooling” memory foam) Hope this helps!!!

The Stealth 700 Gen 3’s are amazing for their price range! They are also decent for footsteps. Moreso with their Superhuman Hearing feature. ..but that just makes the rest of the audio sound like garbage, unfortunately. For footsteps specifically, it absolutely doesn’t get much better than either the A50’s or the Nova Elite/Nova Pro Wireless. The Audeze are also right behind them, in that department.

I have the turtle beach stealth 700 3rd gen and have literally had no issues with them, they are comfy and work great, battery lasts a good amount of time too. Why are you saying not to buy them?

I like the Stealth 700x Gen 3 for gaming bc I can switch between console, PC, and phone super easy. I essentially just have to turn on the device I want and the headphones and it is ready to go between the dongles/bluetooth connection options. Mic is decent as well. It isn’t the only headset to do it, but it was a good deal. Great for gaming, decent for music and videos IMO. Got on sale but should be well under $300 regular price. Gaming headphones aren’t really going to be good for your other use case in general though. If you just want a single pair of headphones for everything, I’d probably follow the advice of other commenters.

Kinda hard to find THE one I'd say. I last one I tried is the Turtle Beach 700 Gen 3 and yes, the song is great, the bass is fun, but damn that it's a troublesome headset. If I use a preset, I have to turn off and on the headste because there's no audio. It's kinda annoying. If trebbles isn't your thing, look for the JBl Quantum 610 on sale. The 810 is useless (shitty ANC) so not worth the extra and the 910 is a gimmick headset. The A50 Gen 5 (Or X) is good but it's annoying to charge them on a dock. If you don't want to spend too much, the Hyper X Cloud III Wireless is a good one with a good enough bass. Mic is more than fine. Me, I like clear sound so more trebbles for me. Corsair HS80 have a great mic and decent bass. DO NOT TOUCH THE MAX. Is a huge downgrade for the mic. My best advice, shop from a place you can send back if you don't like them like Amazon. If you can, use Dolby Atmos or any EQ app you can use. It's quite useful if you want more bass. How much you want to spend is the most important question. Remember that a $$$ headset won't guarantee you the best sound quality. Also, people will always say a modmic with a wired headphones, but I like what a headset can give you as a package deal.

I love my Turtle Beach Stealth 700's, they are exactly what I was looking for
