Mic monitoring is adjustable on the Stealth 600 Gen 2 as well, but you have to connect it to a PC (with macOS support coming in the future). With the Audio Hub app, it’s easy to enable and adjust mic monitoring as well as a chat boost setting. But, with the mode button set up to toggle Superhuman Hearing mode on or off, it’s easy to find the best setting for whatever game being played. There is so much going on in those games and it makes everything louder. It can be huge for hearing footsteps and reloads in games like PUBG but was also a little overwhelming for me when playing Battlefield titles. I’ve seen a lot of comments raving about this mode for competitive gaming. With this enabled, EQ is tweaked to emphasize frequencies of footsteps, reloads, and any other sounds that are crucial to competitive gaming. When you want to be able to hear every detail, though, just like the older generation and the 600 Gen 2, the Stealth 700 Gen 2 also packs Turtle Beach’s Superhuman Hearing mode. Enable the bass boost, and it can really rumble.

By default, there are modes for Signature sound, bass boost, bass and treble boost, vocal boost, and custom which lets your tweak game treble, game bass, and game dialog level.Īt full volume, the Stealth 700 Gen 2 was plenty loud for me while keeping it’s deep, powerful sound.

It’s also easy to make any sort of adjustment with the Audio Hub app if you want to play around with the EQ settings. With the large drivers, the Stealth 700 Gen 2 sounds great. Not necessarily to listen to music or make phone calls, but it can connect to a mobile device to make tweaks to the sound, mic settings, and a host of other controls.

One of the best features in my opinion is Bluetooth connectivity. It does have a pretty tight grip when wearing the headset, which works well with the soft earcups. And even though you can see and touch the metal grill covering the large 50mm drivers, I couldn’t feel them when wearing the headset. Turtle Beach calls these earcups their Aerofit cooling gen-infused memory foam ear cushions and I am a fan. With the Stealth 700 Gen 2, though, the earcups are very comfortable. One of my critiques on the Stealth 600 Gen 2 was that the headset felt stiff - both with the earcups and the headset itself. From bottom to top, we have the USB-C charging port, Xbox sync button and status light, Bluetooth button, power button, mode button, multi-function dial, and the game volume dial. On the left ear cup are all of the controls and the microphone.

A lot of that has to do with the microphone that folds into the earcup for a very clean design. They are large, but not as gamery as the last version.

Charging the headset is quick through USB-C and puts you back in the game for roughly 8 hours in only 15 minutes.Stealth 700 Gen 2 for Xbox: Out of the boxĭesign on the Stealth 700 Gen 2 has been refined a bit from the last generation. It took me around ten working days to drain this headset - quite satisfactory if you ask me. After roughly a week of testing Turtle Beach's new outing for roughly 4-5 hours a day on normal volume levels, the headset still had 50% battery life. Just like the new Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX, the new Stealth 700 sports over 48 hours of battery life on a single charge, and I can confirm that the juice in this headpiece is superb. When it comes to battery life, the Stealth 700 Gen 2 MAX reigns supreme in this segment and is likely only bested by HyperX's new Cloud Alpha Wireless with a promise of over 300 hours of juice on a single charge. While the headset does come with Bluetooth connectivity to connect wirelessly to a Nintendo Switch in handheld mode or to a smart device, I still would have preferred using wireless audio via the USB-C ports. A nice addition for those owning multiple platforms, but I can't help but wonder why the engineers didn't opt for a wireless USB-C transmitter instead of a traditional USB dongle. Although minor, a missed opportunity if you ask me.Īs with the 600 Gen 2 MAX model, Turtle Beach's redesigned outing is now compatible with more platforms, including Xbox, PlayStation 4 & 5, PC, and Nintendo Switch. On consoles, selecting a different EQ preset is done through the Turtle Beach' Audio Hub' app, whereas on the Stealth 600, you can just press a button on the left earcup to cycle through the different presets. Despite being a more premium product, the Stealth 700 lacks a particular feature that its cheaper sibling offers - a dedicated button to switch through the different EQ presets.

Compared to the redesigned Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX model, the new 700 Gen 2 MAX model is quite an upgrade - the build quality of the 700 Gen 2 model is considerably higher, packs more features, and overall, it feels like a more premium headpiece.
