can't say the same after a white the dongle stopped working due to their own greedy design since they discontinued the first model for no reason and to not sell a transmitter for the first model and telling me to buy a new headset since there was nothing they could do and only offering 15% off when that’s the default I could get from their own website by default without their help center phones call. So if you want to invest in this shit company then be prepared for them to stop making parts and being as useless as this piece is and for charging as much as they do for something that’s not even made out of $15 worth of materials

I have a gen 1 turtle each stealth 700. Had it a few years and it’s still going strong

The first thing I'd do (because I'm lazy) is eliminate all choices that require a dongle or separate transmitter. If it doesn't connect directly to the Series X, it's voted off the island. I'm rocking an old first-generation Turtle Beach Stealth 700. I've replaced one of the arms that snapped (had someone 3D print a new part), both of the ear pads, and the battery. If it ever breaks badly enough that I can't repair it, I'll probably get the official M$ headset. I've heard good things about them.

Same. I had to have one of the pieces that connect the earpiece to the headband 3D printed to replace a broken part, and I've replaced the battery. It's still going after many years.

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

I got tired of cleaning off the bits when wearing them. It’s just the outer housing. You can replace them thankfully

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.
