One of the biggest differences between the Stealth 600 Gen 2 and Stealth 700 Gen 2 is having access to both the Xbox pairing protocol and Bluetooth. You can change the secondary volume wheel and the mode button inputs to adjust other functions using the Turtle Beach Audio Hub app, which is a nice added bit of customization for a console headset.

A “mode” button to toggle Superhuman hearing, Turtle Beach’s performance audio mode, a power button, Bluetooth and Xbox protocol pairing buttons, and a USB-C port for charging. From top to bottom, you have: Two volume wheels, one for speaker volume and one for chat. There are a lot of controls stacked along the back edge of the Stealth 700’s left earcup. A 20-hour charge is on the high side of average for a gaming headset, but that should be more than enough for most players, so long as you keep a charging solution handy to top it off between sessions. Anecdotally, I found the headset lasted through about three days of regular use on average, even when regularly pairing and unpairing with my smartphone. According to Turtle Beach, the Stealth 700 Gen 2 should last through 20 hours on a single charge, up from just 10 hours per charge on the original. Normally, mesh covering on earcups is a red flag for me – it’s often scratchy and heats up quickly: The Stealth 700 Gen 2 only started to feel hot after long gameplay sessions, which I found impressive.Īnd thanks to a much longer-lasting battery, you can wear the Stealth 700 Gen 2 through lots of long gameplay sessions. The cups also feature a thick layer of cooling memory foam padding, coated with leatherette on the sides and a smooth mesh over the front. The cups feel like they conform to the shape of your ears, but also feel quite roomy. The entire headset is slightly larger than its budget-friendly counterpart, but there’s an outsized difference in the earcups, where it counts. One of the big advantages of the Stealth 700 Gen 2 – over both its predecessor and the Stealth 600 Gen 2 – is comfort. You may also notice the issue when rotating the Stealth 700 Gen 2’s earcups on their hinges, which allow the cups to lie flat on your chest or on a table. Like the Stealth 600 Gen 2, the band lines up with the front of the cans, rather than the center, which can make it feel like you’re putting the gaming headset on backward when you wear them the first time. The top band is made of plastic with a steel frame, which becomes visible when you adjust the cans. Though the plastic band is slightly larger and features a steel frame, the Stealth 700 Gen 2 features the same rotating hinges as the Stealth 600 Gen 2, and the same shaped earcups designed to hug your ears. It’s a more subtle design – one that better matches the new design languages of both current and next-gen Xboxes, and with most people’s homes.Įven with all its changes, though, the Stealth 700 Gen 2 is still a more feature-rich version of the Stealth 600 Gen 2, and the last generation of Turtle Beach’s Stealth headsets. There’s no Stealth logo, like on the original Stealth 700, and the Xbox green accents on the earcups have been replaced with silver metal. It’s top band is plain, without any superfluous molding. To me, the Stealth 700 Gen 2 doesn’t look like a Turtle Beach headset. Overall, most songs across a variety of genres fair great on this headset.Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 – Design & Features The high-end deviation is noticeable across a wide number of songs, but usually to a fairly minor degree. by Gorillaz, where the bass guitar sounds hollow, as playing inside a small box, which is different from how it sounds on other headsets. The midrange dip can negatively impact some songs, however, such as on Feel Good Inc. Diesel Power by The Prodigy stands out as an excellent example, where the bass cuts through the mix but is nicely complemented by the high-end sounds. Thanks to the bass boost songs with a heavy bass element often sound fantastic on this headset. Overall the sound is quite enjoyable and does a lot to justify the price point. Finally, there’s some slight deviation from our target curve in the high end, which is likely where the sound quality takes the biggest hit. There’s a noticeable dip from 200-600Hz, which will impact the timbre of some instruments when listening to music.
Like many gaming headsets, there’s a slight emphasis in the bass range, usually done to emphasize gunfire and other combat foley.
The Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 MAX frequency response follows our ideal headphone curve fairly closely.
