Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 Headset Review - Everything You Need to Know

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.ค. 2024
- IMPORTANT: The PS version does NOT have chat mix. This feature was removed from marketing material and app after this review was published!!
The new Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 offers quite a lot for $150. Simultaneous wireless + Bluetooth, USB-C, 20 hour battery, app-based customization, noise gate, EQ profiles, and more. The performance has been excellent and the sound quality really stands out at this price point. With newly improved durability and features this is a tough headset to beat.

ALL - If you're getting a PlayStation version, I just found out today there was a misprint in the marketing facts and the PlayStation version of the Stealth 700 does NOT support chat mix. Neither does the new Steel Series Arctis 9. Apparently Sony is combining the audio mix now which makes no sense. Any new headset that uses a USB transmitter for audio will NOT have game to chat mix on PlayStation. Please keep this in mind.
GadgetryTech no 7.1 and no chat mix! Bummer!
so they are like the old 700s? the game and chat buttons were useless
how is the Dolby Atmos for movies?
Just ordered them for the ps5. Bummer. Should I return them? Or cancel. They have yet to ship them out
Ralph Ochoa mine shipped already. I’m going to give them a shot and see if all the other improvements outweigh what features were lost.
Came for a mic test, stayed because you put it up front, commented because of quality. Fat thumbs up.
thank you thank you
@@GadgetryTech would you still recommend these headphones today? I play on console still and been trying to invest the best quality headset that has the most reasonable price that would be worth the money, also are the headphones compatible with pc,Xbox or and ps or just the particular model you get cause I play on ps4 so I would more and likely get the ps version and one more thing are they good on next gen and would you recommend anything else besides these for next gen or no.
I love watching these kind of videos to reassure that my headset is actually decent 🤷🏻♂️
We all do it.
Same man.
@@GadgetryTech what are your audio settings sir please! i cant find a good fit for mine
Lol that’s literally why I’m here
@@JoloSmokes That's tough because the game mix themselves are unique. CoD Warzone - Run midnight mode. Superhuman hearing at ~20% or off. I leave bass boost and treble boost off. Custom EQ. Slight boost to vocal, flat treble, flat or slight reduction to bass. Again - this is for maximum clarity in CoD Warzone without making it too harsh on your ears.
Finally! I’ve been anticipating this
Thank you for the review! I just ordered these and had a second of buyers remorse. Thanks for confirming it was a wise buy!
Great review, thanks for your time giving us all these details. Can’t wait to use these when they get to me.
I have never had gaming headphones that cost more than $20,(I think. I'm sorry if I'm wrong), and now I'm finally getting a good pair! My first and only pair was turtle beach and they have lasted me for almost 5 years, but the mic stopped working. I'm so glad to have found someone who does genuine good reviews! Because now I feel really confident in my purchase! Thank you so much for your help!
So how's it feel to have a good pair?
it’s awesome getting a fancy headset, i hope they’re holding up well!
This was a great, in-depth review. Thank you!
Great in-depth review. They're definitely feature rich for this price.
Wow man, you absolutely nailed this product review. Excellently presented, Well done. 👏
Such a nice concessive review, went to Best Buy to make use of a warranty for my controller and hyper cloud x headset and had to pick a headset and just pay the difference(like $40) and since I was in a rush I just quickly saw the turtle beach’s and this one looked like a higher quality compared to the other ones and felt comfortable in store and picked them out so I’m glad to hear good things about them on the way home.
Your actually the best reviewer I've seen I appreciate the honesty and your actually using the headset before reviewing, keep up the good work brother.
My boy goes into detail , very much appreciated this vid! Thank you boss
Perfect! Finally we can see them live!
Been waiting for this video a month like others.
From 99,9% to 100% now,
I'm sure to buy them on sunday!
Btw,my TB700 just broke,so it's perfect time for replacement!
Many thanks for your video!
👌🏻
How is it
Cannot wait for mine to come Tuesday.
Thanks! I was surprised that there wasnt any reviews of this until recently, i preordered this and cant wait to get it! Thanks for the review!
Glad I could help!
Do you still have them?
@@Thawhid yep, wearing them right now! They are amazing
@@conorhaines8085 perfect bro
I'm buying these rn. For a while I was planning on buying the SteelSeries Artic 1s and the day came I was about to buy it and it's out of stock but I'm lucky af that happened because then I found these headphones instead 🤣
These seem better because of the app, so I'm not stuck with a sound and also I trust Turtle Beach a little more
Hey man, i recently spent probably a good 6 hours of research and landed on the 700 gen 2. i wish i would have seen your video upfront, as it would have save me so much time. I completely agree on this headset. would love to see sample EQ settings. For SURE you deserve for subs. you just earned another!
Samee Been full sending resesrch to get my first proper headset just want comfirt breathable and good cancelling mic plus soundstage.
Thanks for making this video I have been trying to find a stealth 700 gen 2 review for a while
Glad I could help
Not a big tech dude, but this video gave me exactly what I wanted to know.. and then some! Thank you for making this video! You've gained a subscriber and a like!
You have comprehensive coverage of them, thanks to you just bought them. You’ve earned subscription form me. Very well done fam. All the best
That’s the best wireless headset mic I’ve ever heard, turtle beach did a great job
Ethan R I was shocked
It really is shockingly good. I can't imagine it getting much better, especially at this price.
Will the ps4 ones also work on pc?
Cody Bohn pretty sure it will because my stealth 600 gen 1 worked so I don’t see why it wont
MrCeazarSalad thank you appreciate it
You’re videos are the best!! Thank you!! Definitely going to get these!! (P.S. I’ve been waiting for this video since the 600 review and it’s been my motivation to push me through each day of college knowing this video was coming each day closer and closer) THANK YOU!!
Love your reviews. thank u so much for doing. I been waiting this video a long time.
Thank you for the support!
Thank you for the review! I’ve been looking to buy a new headset for a while now and I had narrowed a few down including this one, but this video convinced me! 🙏🏽
One of the best headset reviews I have ever seen. Straight to the point with good explanation and comparisons. Keep it up!
Thanks Kevin!
@@GadgetryTech You're welcome :-)
@@kingkevin23 true
I have the generation 1 Stealth 700's and they had some great features. It seems these headphones have all those features and some new ones that make it even better. Plus the review said that the mic cut-out problem is no longer an issue in the gen 2. I also appreciate that he said the volume level is so high that he doesn't even turn it all the way up, that was an issue with gen 1, they were not loud enoud. One thing people will learn to appreciate about the 700's both gen 1 and gen 2, is the two volume dials. On my gen 1 I found myself using those very often. It is helpful to be able to separately turn down the game sounds while keeping the chat volume loud. I found myself frequently doing that in parts of games where I was with a team and the game music or effects got too loud and I couldn't hear what my team mates were trying to say to me. So I am very thankful they left that option available on the gen 2. Also, I was looking at the Steelseries Arctis 9X and they seem great, and look more like a high end music headset, but they only have one dial for voice and game sound to be faded louder on one over the other. Because of the Arctis 9x not having as good of quality of that option, among a few other things, I will be purchasing the Turtle Beach instead of Steelseries. Also, the Steelseries is just now making their first Xbox version of the headphones, while Turtlebeach has been doing it for years, so I can imagine there being some issues with the Steelseries, being that it is their first try. Turtlebeach has had a lot of experience and will likely be a lot less buggy. Thank you for the detailed review.
I have had this head seat for 3 months and I love it. The connectivity is nice you can mix music off your phone and vibe out. I can wear glasses in this. The app is great and is way to use. My only one complaint is the headband tension is a little high first couple days I felt like my head was being squeezed but overall great headset for the price.
Yeah it has a fairly high clamp force which can be an issue for some. It stretches out a bit like you said, but overall it's an amazing headset. Glad you like it Manny!
Your intro answered the big question about X version and PC. Thank you!
Beautiful detailed review on these !
Just got them and they are so much better than my last pair of Turtle Beaches !
GREAT VIDEO. Super informative, concise and to the point. You don't waste any time and have time stamps. LOVE IT, KEEP IT UP.
That science lesson was A1 my man and this video helped a lot in deciding my next headset. My last ones being the artic 9x were very good although my mic for some reason just stopped working the next day. So I’ve been looking for another gaming headset that can compare without having to drop another $200 bucks and this one really hit the spot!
Glad I could help!
This was a real good video. Helping me decide to buy it.
Great review. I was divided after hearing some mixed reviews, but this really helped me make up my mind.
Time stamps are clutch. Thanks 💯
You bet.
@@GadgetryTech I watched the whole video It was actually very entertaining I don't find videos like this entertaining usually just informative so props to that my man
@@shura4136 Thanks!
700s is out and I’m still using my 600s and they still blow my mind how good the 600 and 700 stealth series sound turtle beach’s qualities in these two models are top notch I honestly prefer the 600s earcups then the 700s I love the comfort of the soft fabrics I was never a fan of a leathery material on a gaming headset.
Same.
Getting mines tomorrow, thank you for the recommendation.
Awesome video very extensive. I don't have unreal expectations of my gaming equipment, pretty much everything you covered is what I'm looking for thanks for the in depth video.
This headset is great! I got it for $119 today at target. I couldn’t be happier. Needed a headset for my halo edition series X that I just got a few days ago, didn’t want to spend another $330 plus like I did for my ps5. I have the arctic pro wireless and i want to say these don’t fall way behind those. Definitely recommend them for the price point ! Happy customer !
You can set the noise gate via the phone app to reject a lot of background noise. I found it helps quite a bit. Overall it's an amazing headset. At $120 that's a steal!
Having bought this when it first released, I can say this headset is a great mid range headset. The sound is pretty good, the hours on the battery is pretty long, you might get away with 21-22 hours depending on how your volume is set at. The biggest and awesome feature of this is how with the app, you can change the buttons to turn up the game volume and chat volume separately. Not mixing between more game or more chat, you can set them both high. A really awesome feature.
The comfort is good, once in a while it will get a bit painful but that’s user error on my end for not putting them on the right way to adjust to my head. I used this more than my Arctix 9X and I loved that headset before giving it to a friend.
It’s on sale for $89 right now, worth it?
Thanks for the video man! I am finally upgrading from my old stealth 400
Nice video and review, sir. Also, the way you answer questions and comments is next level great. Sadly, most TH-camrs don't take the time, so kudos to you!
Thanks so much! I know I benefit in that regard by being a smaller channel but I do my best to answer what/whenever I can. Appreciate you stopping by!
I've been waiting for a monthttthhh cant wait for it on this Sunday 😌
You preorder it? If so, where at?
Bestbuy
eddi3401 thanks!
@@LeeBenjammin also Amazon. I prefer Amazon because prime :) so if anything im getting mine on Monday the lasted Tuesday
Same here man, got mine from BestBuy :)
This. This is how you review. 10 out of 10. :D
The Best! GadgetryTech and the Stealth 700 Gen 2 are simply the best in my humble opinion.
The mic sounds AMAZING for a wireless headset!
Was gonna save for the Max version, but these sound so good!
Thanks man 💪
Bought it! And give this man a cookie! Btw: can’t wait for m Series X to arrive!
I love the fact that the 700x has chat volume and game volume on the headset itself
You can even change that slider in the app to do other cool functions such as volume for the Bluetooth on your phone!!
I’ve been looking for a good wireless headset for a while and I think I might have found it. Thanks for the great review and the comments and full speculations of the whole headset. I’d recommend this
Thank you for this review man! Great video
These are whicked sick. Definitely going to pick me up a pair when I get the extra cash
They’re awesome I got mine today
@@sfghost8407 I went with the Steelseries 7x very happy with the purchase
Was gonna buy the 600X GEN2, but with this video I'm ready to pay that extra 50 bucks. Thank you for this, truly.
Great review. Addressed all my concerns. I’ll buy via your amazon link. 👊🏾
having so many issues with current 700 cutting out, looking forward to trying these..... thanks for the video!!
was it ok?
Damn good review man, just bought a pair after watching this!
Awesome! Thanks :)
TheWalkingBad How have they been so far? Thinking of getting them
After 7 months how you feel about them🤔
@@mackyjack3929 They are great although if probably just go with the Pro PS5 headphones if you can
a month ago i was going to buy the arctic 9x but then me and my friend found these like towards the end of last month and now i’m certain me and him are going to love these we already saved up and ready to go sunday
Interesting, I have bought these, and now I’m thinking about returning these, as just bought the Arctic 9x. I will do tests later and decide what to return
Charlie Doyle let me know what you like lol. I’m on the fence of buying either one of these.
Got the 9x and I hate the audio quality. Muddy as hell. Hoping these are better. The 9x is solid and I like the looks, but I just couldn't get them to sound good.
@Erik exactly, same here, i have bought the 9x first and was very disappointed with the audio quality. also had the feeling that the driver distorted already at 90% volume and was lacking bass. bluethooth works with the phone, but not with the mac... wth.. the tb700gen2 are on the way. btw thanks for the review!
@@NoiseMachine84 yes I got my 700 Gen 2. Wow. Those are my first TB pair and I love them. Very comfortable to wear and sound quality is stellar. Sometimes I feel like gaming headphones are gimmicky and why not just use some good quality headphones? However, these TB 700 gen 2 made me a believer. Enjoy!
Thank you so much!
I’m getting this mic for my birthday.
Excellent and very informative review. Thanks
1:25 Thank you for that information!
Had mine 3 days love it upgraded from gen 1 600
Xbox, ps4 or pc. I use a stealth 600 gen 1 and I’m going to buy 700 gen 2 for the ps5.
What modes does it have?
Idk how you made this amazing piece in one take 🤯🤯
I came for the review then got lost listening to you. Great informative video thank you! Just returned my hyperX cloud 2 couldn’t hear anything !
There’s a notch when you take the pad thing off That makes a spot for your glasses
Thank you VERY much! Fantastic review!
This really helped alot!
Subbed.
Solid review. Thank you.
Would love to hear your take on these Stealth 700 Gen 2 vs the newly released Arctis 7x for the same price. Even though the Arctis 7x doesn’t have Bluetooth, I hear their comfort and rock solid connection may give the 700 Gen 2 some competition.
You prob are on Arctis marketing team! Lol
The new Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 will be my next headset, I'm listening to this video with the Turtle Beach Stealth 700,
which I only purchased a few months ago and are an exceptional headset for the price
Cool video review
Just got this headset today. Excited to try it out tonight!
@Boy Sets Fire hey i really hope you can reply to this. Idk if there is something wrong with my gen 2 stealth 700 but it sounds wayyy different than my gen 1 stealth 700, I would like to know if you found a significant difference in sound. Please respond it'll help me alot!
Just bought two of these for my son and I... didn’t realize they were the big deal of budget and quality... extra stoked now thank you
That's awesome I think you guys will love it
Thank you , this video was very informative . It helped me set up my headphones .
How the hell do you only have 2.2k subs you should have at-least 100k
Every sub helps! Believe it or not I just hit 1k earlier this year. The support lately has been great though, so thank you all.
My headphones just broke. You just sold me to buy these!
Where did they break?
@@PovElijah I had PlayStation gold headphones. The right ear stopped working. Couldn’t hear out of it whatsoever. I tried everything to try to fix it but I couldn’t, so I bought the stealth 700’s and they’re great so far!
Top top tier video, love that you chaptered it for ease
Yo dude. I never comment but I have to say your review is concise and articulated well. You know your shit.
CAN'T WAIT!
Underrated review channel. I'm a new subscriber. Thank you.
Your first comments out the gate answered my question perfectly, you’re awesome brother. Thank you. I play PC and PS5 but I also telework from home and I want to go wireless. These will be perfect.
If it’s for the chat mix feature check my pinned comment! It’s important to know. Thanks!
@@GadgetryTech I read that one as well, but I am mainly getting these for when I’m teleworking.. I work on a Service Desk remotely so I’m more or less at work more than I’m gaming. But I do play COD and Destiny and Forza on PC and PS5 (minus Forza)
Wow the mic is good.
Thanks for review! I’m curious was that mic test an Xbox mic test or Bluetooth mic test? I know the way the mic sounds can vary between the different modes.
That was through the Xbox transmitter, which is usually how people would use it. I made several voice calls via Bluetooth and everyone said the mic sounded fine or good. Hope that helps!
Thanks for great review
Great review and technical information. I appreciate the technicals!
Question: the Recon 500 are coming out end of May, 60mm drivers! - are they going to make a wireless headset with 60mm drivers? I feel like most people don't get the importance of driver size for complex audio games like warzone. On top of that, Steelseries and Astro keeps using 40mm drivers, which I feel physically can't give you the soundstage and often get muddy and OVERWHELMED when you have air strikes, grenades, gun fire, and team chat, all while trying to hear footstep direction!
I'm frustrated trying to find great sound, a great mic, comfort, at least 50mm drivers, comfort for extended wear and a 3.5mm jack, not to mention Xbox and PC compatible. Too much to ask, I know. So I'm hoping with TB going back to using 60mm drivers, that they have something wireless cooking.
I have a static problem when I speak louder how do I fix it
I have same problem
just spent the money and bought these and the steel series acrtis 9x and after a week of heavy game play with both i will say the TB are better crisper sound louder overall better bass superhuman hearing is awesome the only thing id say the steel series has advantage on is comfort and mic a lot more comfortable than the turtle beach,
What game did you play? Looking to choose between these two to play the new cod
Just bought & got them today…. Get them you will not be disappointed these are amazing and very comfortable
They sound amazing can't wait to get my pair just waiting for they to ship
How are they?
@@herobrine07366 pretty good I've had them for quite a while, my only issue I've had is that the Bluetooth messes up occasionally.
Just got my Gen 2s was able to update it through my computer but every time I try to access the settings to the app on my phone it just says no device detected and to check my Bluetooth settings even though my phone is connected to the headset already what is happening??
i had this same issue. i just deleted the app and downloaded it again only then i was able to connect to the app
Depending on what device you were using, Android or IPhone, the app may not have been the most current version yet. I had the exact same issue using my Samsung Galaxy S10 5g, but I downloaded the app on my IPad and it connected right away. Today however, the app on my Samsung required the update which allowed me to finally connect to my headset using my phone.
Hi, great review like the others on this channel!
You seem very enthusiastic with these headphones and they look very good, despite that I am still in doubt between these and the Astro A50. After reviewing all 2, which one would you recommend? The price factor is not a problem for me I just want some new headphones that are great for the next gen (I play on Xbox and I'll take Series X).
hey I would check out the steel series 9x for $200 they look great and connect to xbox like a controller. I would get them over the Astros or the turtle beach for sure but $200 is a lot. hope that helps
@@ethanhadley3584 Look, I was also informed about the 9x but honestly I don't like them. I was more oriented between the Stealth 700 and the Astro A50 but I still thank you for the advice.
Right now I'm leaning towards the 700 Gen 2. More features, better sound quality (believe it or not) and it's somehow half the price. Astro allows you to fine tune and customize your EQ profiles more which is awesome, but the headset drivers aren't as dynamic so don't expect home theater type sound. Stealth 700s have more bass.
@@GadgetryTech Thanks for the answer! Then I'm going to go with Turtle Beach.
@@matteoschiarizza1086 Awesome, let me know what you think when you get them!
Great review, I have this headset for a year running strong. Only issue is I had to unbrick it once after it wouldn't power on after bricking itself for no reason.
Great video, thank you , I just picked up a pair
honestly, the only problem I have with this headset is with its inconsistent connection times, and the loud ass beeps that play when it turns on. Other than that, its amazing
@GadetryTech
Would you say these are better than the SteelSeries Arctis 9x?
Yes
Not at all

thanks for getting right into review
Hey so I can always constantly hear my self when I talk. How do I fix that?
In the app
@@thomasharrison2468 what do I do in the app
@@isaiahthegoat337 there is a slider bar I think it is called mic monitoring just turn that down
Literally just got the gen 1 version of this set a couple months ago. Think I'm going to go ahead and get these. Just too many upgrades to say no in my opinion.
Same thing happened to me. Bought the Gen 1s on August, couple of weeks before these got announced. Literally returned them 2 weeks ago and bought the Gen 2s today.
FYI you lose 7.1 surround and chat mix. I also just purchased the gen 1 and just purchased the gen 2s. I just found out I lose the two features I just mentioned:(
Just bought a set for Boxing Day, first thing I had to do was watch a review, solid! 👌🏻
Great review. Thanx bud
This headset is incredible, just got it and it is better then I even expected. Huge upgrade from the Gen 1's.
This comment was 9 months ago, are they still working well after that long?
Wish they had a white version
When I got the headphones the most surprising part for me is just how comfortable it is. Even with my bigger ears I barely feel like they are touching my ears. 10 out of 10 headset
Pretty crazy right? They feel amazing.
I had gotten the stealth 700 (first gen) for my Xbox One X and they seemed ok except the mic was terrible and everyone I gamed with complained so I recorded myself and listened to it and it was pretty appalling. Nothing I could do fixed it and I made sure they had the latest firmware update.
I then got a PS5 and got the Stealth 700 Gen 2 because of the Bluetooth. The difference between first gen and second gen is night day in every single aspect from build quality to comfort to sound, battery life etc. The second gen are pretty amazing. I just got a Series X so now I’m trying to get my hands on the Xbox wireless headset but no luck because its sold out every where.
Great review channel I subscribed! Keep up the good work brother.
😊😊😊😊
I was almost certain I was gonna pick these up but, steelseries released the arctis 9 the other day and it's actually out so had to pick that up instead, they have alot of the same features but good to see these are good
yikes, hope you dont have issues
Steelseries are known for disconnecting issues
From someone that has the artic 9x for Xbox they disconnect... and plus they make a creaking sound that is worrisome.
Yoxan Pantoja hope they fix the issue I will return for a refund if this happens
Now that turtle beach release the 700 gen 2 the arctis 9x is so bad because the 700 gen 2 is a lot cheaper and it has better upgrades and features
