Turtle Beach - Stealth 700 Gen 3

Honestly not great. Quality control is too hit or miss to warrant the prices they’re charging, especially for the Stealth 700 Gen 3s. Bought mine and it came with a faulty USB receiver out of the box, got a replacement under warranty and that one ALSO came out of the box with a bad receiver. I really don’t know why anyone bothers with TB anymore. They can’t be bothered to put in the effort for even their flagship models.

Turtle Beach headsets are a love-hate story for me. For Battlefield games, I’ve never used anything I liked better. For whatever reason, starting with Battlefield 4 and the 1st gen Stealth 700, these always feel like a cheat code for footsteps in those game for me (and I don’t use superhuman hearing mode). But they use cheap plastic. That’s basically it. Amazing sound, but they’re going to break in time, no matter how gentle you are with them. In the end, I’ve decided that it’s worth it. Just ordered a gen 3 Stealth 700. New Battlefield equals another Stealth 700 that probably won’t live for more than a year. It’s the sound I want, so it is what it is.

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. 

In short: If you aim for sound quality then Pro are better. If you aim for functionality then 700 ar better. Both sounds great, but pro has edge in sound performance, but lack certain funcions like folded mic, separate chat volume and the biggest con with pros is battery life. Yes you get two and swap them, but it is nothing compared to 700's 80h battery life, where you can game for weeks without charging.

From what I’ve noticed, everyone has their own opinions on headphones. I would recommend finding a place with a good return policy (not GameStop) and purchase a few to test out. I did this with the Razer Kraken V3 Pro and the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3. I used them both for about an hour and found things I hated that I wouldn’t have known if I had just stuck with one. I kept the Turtle Beaches since I play Xbox and PC, which it comes with two transmitters so it can switch simultaneously. The Swarm II software (on PC) is very easy to use and the EQ is very customizable. Build quality feels solid, but coming from the Razer Kraken V2 Pro (my previous headset I used for years), it has a little more plastic than my liking. Other then my personal preference of wanting a heavier metal headset, the 700 Gen 3 have been wonderful for my setup.

Turtlebeach stealth 700 gen 3, I was always steelseries fan, till the day I tried Turtlebeach 3 years ago and now on my second one.. they sound amazing and feature packed, perfect value to money

Turtle Beach stealth 700 gen 3. Rocked the 600s for a while. So it was a no brainer for me when they dropped and it was upgrade time.

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

Xbox turtle beach was the best for affordability. It’s also wireless, operates in Bluetooth or through dongle receiver, and is fairly durable if you store them safely after use.
