Turtle Beach is launching brand-new versions of its Stealth 600 and 700 video gaming headsets, enhancing on the 2017 models with a refined design that moves its buttons to a more practical location while swapping out Micro USB charging for much-needed USB-C across the entire lineup.
Speaking of, the most significant change that will affect how you utilize these headsets is related to the controls. The offering is the same (except for the USB-C port), however everything has been walked around the edge of the left ear cup. Visually, the brand-new headsets button layouts are an enhancement over the previous models, which had buttons sprinkled all around the ear cup.
However if youre originating from among Turtle Beachs older headsets, it may take some practice to discover the upgraded plan. The microphone is still a fold-out affair that automatically mutes when its embeded, however it now forms nicely into the ear cup design when its off, successfully concealing it from view. Likewise relating to the microphone, it still has the excellent tracking impact when its in use.
If your viewpoint of the older Stealth headsets was that they werent super comfy, my restricted time with the Stealth 600 Gen 2 informs me that your mind most likely will not be changed. The breathable mesh ear pads feel excellent and the audio quality is wonderful, however the frame actually presses hard versus my head. I confess my noggin might be larger than most, so your outcomes may differ. The Stealth 700 Gen 2 has a metal-reinforced headband, so possibly that one will be more long lasting and more flexible to wear for extended periods, too.
The Stealth 700 Gen 2 expenses $50 more than the Stealth 600, but it includes luxurious ear pads, a metal-reinforced headband, as well as the ability to link through Bluetooth in addition to your console.Turtle Beach
The peripheral maker is still splintering the headsets by gaming platform, with a Stealth 600 and 700 for Xbox owners and choices made specific for PlayStation gamers. Really, the major distinctions are what theyve been for a while now: color and connection type. For the Stealth 600, you can get a headset that matches the color scheme of either console (or merely in white if you dont feel like displaying your obligation). And while the PlayStation variation relies on a USB cordless receiver, the made-for-Xbox headsets can connect straight to the console or to a PC if you have an Xbox cordless adapter plugged in.
Turtle Beach states that its new headsets will deal with the PS5 and Xbox Series X, in addition to the present consoles. When it comes to the Stealth 600 and 700 Gen 2 produced PlayStation, the USB wireless adapter enables it to work with Nintendo Switch when the console is docked. Simply to avoid confusion, the previous version of Turtle Beachs headsets will work just the same with the new tech. You simply wont have the helpful USB-C charging and the other tweaks it brings.
