The exact part where you mentioned the build quality and the part of the headset that worries you is where my stealth gen 2s just broke today! Many people have experienced it breaking in that spot as well from what I've seen on reddit. Lasted me about a year and 7 months, it's a shame that they didn't upgrade the build quality between these two models.
Geez, I'm sorry to hear that man. It's a really a shame when everything else seems to work so well. I tried to look up warranty but you need to plug in the serial number - maybe you can try that? Go to turtle beach.com/warranty, scroll down and click on "Turtle Beach USA offices". Then plug in the serial and see if you can't get that puppy fixed.
One thing suggested is turtle beach needs to make the swivel like metal or something. That way, it will be unbreakable. Make it unbreakable in certain spots to avoid disruptions in gaming. The astro a10 is the world's most indestructible headset. Smash it, throw it, bend it, sit on it, anything. My muscles uncle 6 foot 3 at 240 lbs but all muscle had trouble breaking my astro a10. It took him 20 minutes
@@FirstL00k just ordered a pair but the cobalt blue ones on Turtle Beach website. I can't wait. I enjoyed the last generation gen 2 700s I got so much use out of them out of them they broke cause I use them so much. I got it on black Friday this week for 139.99 it was 200
@@22QXX112 oh wow, that's a great price. If you use Bluetooth at all, you'll probably love these even more than your last pair. I hope you enjoy using them!
@@FirstL00k so I turn on Bluetooth on the device Bluetooth is on on my phone and it says stealth 700 Gen 2 Max but I tap on it and it says pairing rejected on my phone it says like incorrect pairing code and I've tried this multiple times turning off the headset and back on and turning on Bluetooth on my phone and it doesn't seem to work
It's a great headset, especially if you wear glasses! Although it's on the heavier side, it's really comfy, even if you wear it for hours at a time. I use them for gaming as well as music/movies at my desk. They're really fun!
@@okjrock6594 press and hold the Bluetooth button until it turns off. Then press and hold again until it turns on and says "pairing". Your phone or device should be able to find it afterwards.
Hey can you accept/end phone calls directly on the headphone using the headphone buttons/controls? Or do you have to accept/end the call on your phone directly?
Thanks! Someone else had this problem and we wondered if it's wifi interference. Most wireless headsets work in 2.4 GHz range, so turning off that band on the internet router might help. But that's speculation, don't know for sure.
I like it but I have to disconnect the usb and reconnect for it to work on PC. A little inconvenient, id be easier if it could be plugged in to a hidden port and just work. I don't understand, do I have to turn on the mike monitoring feature with a button, or does it just work when I activate the mike by pulling it down into the active position?
Note..... I am still not able to pair via Bluetooth to mobil/tablet. Only there own software installed on mobil/tablet can pair via Bluetooth, so don't expect any phonecard or music from your devices....
Am I the only one that kinda hears vigil's voice when he speaks I mean no disrespect in saying this I just think it is cool to point out that he sounds like one of my favorite video game characters
well that's a good review, say it like you experience it, no glossing over negatives, you nail it dude, I want to say something about the mic I don't think it's good for PC, it perceives all room sounds, mechanical keyboard you hear every key, Another big downer is that there is no software for PC to set eq settings, why EQ settings only via smartphone I don't get it. the sound is heavenly good but it goes back to the store of origin there are important points that are really necessary that this headset lacks
I am looking for a headset something like this type of gaming especially needs to play pubg mobile. No pc or PlayStation is uses for me. So if i pair it via bluetooth will it be working flawlessly.
Con these be connected to a smart tv via Bluetooth? I've got the 700 gen2 and thinking about upgrading, so want to check because if I'm not gaming I'm using them for my TV, basically I live in them haha
@@FirstL00k thanks for the reply 👍, my TV does support Bluetooth devices, and I've just ordered 1 about an hour ago, I'm going to give my son my current 700 gen2 and I'll be using the Max 😎
That's a good question. An answer I don't know unfortunately - but I'm really curious about that too. I don't have a console so I can't test that out...
I have a question that no one seems to ask or focus on. Withe the steal 700 gen 2 for xbox, it does not come with a USB Dongle So I can connect The headset directly to the Xbox via Bluetooth. How can I do that with the Gen 2 Max without using The USB Dongle. I have the Xbox Series X. Please answer this question for me. Thank you in advance.
This will work with any phone with Bluetooth, which iPhones also use. I think most of the money went into the technology for the wireless dongle (PC gaming), so if you only need Bluetooth, this is maybe expensive.
@@FirstL00k I understand, thank you very much for the answer! If you suddenly have some advice about headphones for mobile gaming (pubgm, apex mobile) with a good microphone, I would be very grateful for your advice ❤️
there's a lot of connectivity related 1 star reviews on Amazon and videos on YT....it scares me to buy one....even tho i m looking forward to buy everything Roccat, the Syn Pro and this 700 g2 Max doesnt have good reviews....
Their mentality seems to be that of an engineer and not a consumer. As an engineer, as long as the hardware is designed well, most bugs can be fixed with software/firmware updates. Unfortunately, the products they make are not like smartphones that auto update (it has to be done manually), so by the time they release these updates, it'll be too late because negative reviews are already posted. While not everything is a software problem, most Roccat gear I've tested over the years were solved with a software update (or two software updates later). Unfortunately, it's a habit that doesn't seem to be going away any time soon.
Just bought them for the ps5 but it's still having the Bluetooth cutting out during gameplay glitch and it's driving me nuts. My steel series don't have that problem but don't sound as good as turtle beach. Guess I'll be returning
@@FirstL00k that's what i meant. Not the Bluetooth it's the wireless that acts up. During a game it cuts in and out during loud sound like explosions and heavy fire.
@@fierceeagle2003 so it's not the Bluetooth connection but WiFi? Before returning, see if it has anything to do with the Xbox/USB switch on the dongle by pushing it back and forth. Then while playing a game, do this when you hear audio cutting out and see if that does anything. Whatever the problem is, sounds like faulty hardware.
@@FirstL00k I'll try it out. It could be wifi interference. I have heavy wi-fi usage. I use Google Wi-Fi and I have a Wi-Fi dongle on my desk connected ethernet to PS5 that could be causing interference
@@fierceeagle2003 That's an interesting point. I don't know if you use a laptop, but I wonder what'd happen if you used it in other parts of your home? And if it works any different if you turn off wifi while playing a game? This is actually a very good point that's worth playing around with. If I remember correctly, headsets typically use 2.4GHz bands, some of the older internet WiFi bands live there too. Can you try turning off the use of 2.4 GHz on your router?
I have these and I will tell you all now they are trash but only because the game audio is super low so I'm gonna see them to someone on Offer Up unfortunately 🤦🤦🤦
Very informative video, thank you . I have a question And that is I want to be able to do a party chat on Xbox and be able to hear my game on my PC at the same time so in order to do that would I have to use the dongle on the Xbox and connect the headphones by Bluetooth to my computer? edit: I tried it and it works here is the video for it th-cam.com/video/SlGcts7BLDA/w-d-xo.html
That might work. But might not work perfectly. Because: 1. Bluetooth has a slight delay (unless you're on a phonecall) - that's why most wireless headsets use WiFi dongles for games. If you use Bluetooth for gaming you might get audio lag. 2. During my use, the Wifi dongle switch was always on "USB", but changing the dongle switch to "Xbox" might work differently... or not. I simply don't know since I never used it that way. If you try this, let us know what happens.
