There’s really nothing of note to complain about here, and you will hear the fabled “next-gen audio” of enemy footsteps surrounding you in a multiplayer game. Basses are booming, and the treble is also well pronounced. The overall audio quality produced by the Stealth 700 Gen 2 is excellent, and it’s capable of high volumes without distortion – if anything it runs slightly louder than the average headset. Flipping the mic back up into its enclosure automatically mutes it, which is another nice touch that more and more manufacturers are adopting as standard practice, which is good to see. It’s not going to be replacing your podcasting or live-streaming gear for capturing your voice (not even close) but it’s crisp and clear for gaming online or making phone calls, and it picks up the bass and treble well. It’s all there, wirelessly, and menu-free on your headset, and it’s another way this next-gen headset feels fresh and like it was made for the new tech.ĭiscreetly inside the left ear cup area is a microphone, which I found to be of adequate quality. Being entirely wireless and pairing to an Xbox means you can control the Xbox audio via these rollers, and that means you can turn up a party chat and turn down the game audio without hitting any menus. The ear cushions fit around my average-to-large sized ears, and the roller-audio volume controls are easy to access as well. The buttons are a little awkward due to them being black on a black frame, but like anything, once you’re used to it, things become second nature. Being paired to the console in the same manner as a controller is another superb addition, really, and it means you aren’t restricted by any wires, nor any USB dongles that are easily lost.ĭesign wise, they are indeed a snug fit, but bizarrely I never felt them to be too oppressive around my head. You press the sync button on your Xbox, then the pairing button on the headset, and it’s done: that’s it.

Being designed (but not exclusively so) for the new consoles, the model I tested is designed for Xbox Series X|S and pairs instantly in the same manner a controller does. Onto the wireless nature, then, and yes, this headset is entirely wireless.

Obviously not all glasses are made the same, but I can report they are comfortable for lengthy sessions, so that’s a major plus in the positives column already.
Instead, there’s a tab that lets you create a channel in the actual ear cushions so you aren’t getting the pressure against your head. The Stealth 700 Gen 2 is actually a fairly tight fit and it seems to be that way by design. They actually are very glasses friendly, but not in the way I’d assumed they would be. So let’s start there, because it’s an odd one. For those not aware of this glasses phenomena, it’s real and it’s very annoying, so a boast like “glasses friendly” is a major boon to anyone who has to wear them to, y’know, be able to see things. You know the pressure that slowly builds around your temple that can eventually lead to a headache which, ultimately, cuts your session short. The Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 boasts multiple features like this, as well as superhuman hearing, mic monitoring, independent game chat and volume control, app-based audio customization, 20 hours of battery life, flip-to-mute mic, as well as two other features that caught my eye (or ear) above all the others: it’s completely wireless, and is glasses friendly.Īllow me for a moment to speak to my brethren: you know the pain of a headset that isn’t glasses friendly.

Look, that’s a half-truth, because many people use so many different gaming setups these days, and while some have a 55-65 inch 4K HDR OLED/ QLED tv with a massive surround sound system, others will be using monitors at desks and be headset-bound, and frankly, audio on games is so good now, getting a decent pair of cans around your ears to showcase 7.1, Dolby Atmos, Windows Sonic, and all manner of audio output formats that are on offer these days. With a new generation of consoles comes an entire new round of accessories and peripherals, and, bizarrely, with the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 being so quiet, the need for a good pair of headphones is slightly lessened, because we can now hear the gaming audio over the aircraft carriers that is and was the eight generation of consoles.
