This is the first wireless headset I’ve owned for Xbox since the 360. I spent over a decade on PC and used wireless sets there, so I knew what to expect going into this. I have used these headphones for around a month now, and here are my honest thoughts.
Pros:
Sound quality - I enabled DTS-X for surround sound instead of using the proprietary Turtle Beach software, so I can’t attest to that. For real games where audio is crucial, such as an FPS game, you’re not gonna wanna use that. I can truly say that I had an advantage when using these headphones. My spatial awareness was definitely improved when using DTS-X. Sounded like a movie theater through a headset.
Battery Life:
Depending on how long your gaming sessions last, the battery could last you anywhere from two weeks, two days. It’s definitely a non-issue here. Simply plug them in when not in use, and when you’re ready to go they will be too. No need to worry about the headset dying on you mid-game.
Cons:
1. Turtle Beach Stealth Application
I really wish that I didn’t have to open an app every time I wanted to check the battery. It’s need to control the headset from your phone, sure, but something as simple as an LED indicator on the device would be much appreciated.
2. The microphone will flip to mute which is awesome, but it doesn’t have very much room to adjust the distance to and from your mouth.
Overall, I’d give these a shot on sale. If you’re going to pay decent money on a headset, these are the way to go. If you’ve got a bigger budget, consider something that checks all of the boxes.

This turtle beach gaming headset is great for playing first person shooting games on Xbox series X. With the 80 battery life I've never been let down by the headset in the middle of a game. It has the ability to switch between listening to your console in wireless mode to Bluetooth mode to answer calls on mobile phone and that make me never miss a game or get interrupted. I love this headset it's comfortable on the head and is user friendly to people who wear glasses and that's a huge thing for me. Thank you best buy for putting this in my life.

Solid headset. Bought as an emergency replace when my stealth 700s broke. these are meant for both Xbox and PlayStation but I would go for a better headset like the 700s if you need that because when you switch between the two often the audio settings get really mixed up and the app barely helps. once you get your audio right on PlayStation it sounds bad on Xbox and vice versa. I prefer having a dedicated headset for both now.

This headset sounds great! (Sometimes) the mic will randomly disconnect, or get very staticy. Other than that it’s a great headset all around. GREAT battery life!

Audio sounds very good through the headphones and the microphone picks up on audio exceptionally (I play on Xbox and haven’t had any major connectivity problems either.) I dislike the fact they do get slightly uncomfortable while playing for longer periods of time, Although they are good headphones and I would recommend them to people who are just getting into gaming or people who don’t play long sessions (personally, I start to notice the discomfort after about an hour to an hour and a half)

I’ve been using Turtle Beach 600’s for 4 years now, go through about a pair each year. They USED to have very good sound and I loved the TWO separate volume dials (one for game, one for chat). However they just completely revised the 600’s and went to the one dial for chat/game split and one for master volume (which is not a deal breaker). However the sound quality is absolutely horrible now. They sound completely different than the last 4 600’s I’ve had. I’ve tried all of the $350 headsets and always settled on the 600’s be use they were that good. But now I need to find a new headset.

I am very disappointed. Headphones work, but The transmiter won’t turn on at all… I can’t even return the product anymore, is no longer available! Plus the charger didn’t come along when I received it..
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Good Quality headphones I will recommend for any new gamer's

Pretty good sound quality and the headset is well built. It is also not heavy. Memory foam ear cup and head band makes this pretty comfortable to wear. This headset is glasses friendly too so I have no complain when wearing glasses with this. However, some user might not like the shape of the head band, it is flat at the top and you will feel the band is pressing down on one spot on your head. See picture.
Other than that, this headset has all the controls you will need on the headset itself and they are well spaced.
My friends said my voice is loud and clear so the mic is doing a good job. It is mono channel though with A.I. noise reduction.
However, the mic monitoring is amplifying the wind noise from the fan in the room. I can also hear some clipping on all the sound in mic monitoring.
The instruction in the quick start guide said to go to https://turtlebeach.com/swarm2 but it open https://support.turtlebeach.com/s/downloads?language=en_US
and you have to choose Stealth 600 Gen 3. If you type in the search box, it will show Audio Hub instead of Swarm 2.
Installation is straight forward once you got the correct software.
Upon installation, it will start to update the firmware.
This headset support wireless using the usb dongle and support Bluetooth. The usb dongle also differ from the quick start guide, the guide said there are 2 dongles, one for xbox and one for PC and PlayStation but I only got one dongle and it has a switch where you can select between xbox or usb so I guess if you select usb, it means PC and PlayStation.
Using USB will provide low latency wireless connection.
The box said it is designed for xbox and a smaller print says also works with PC, Playstation, Nintendo Switch and mobile phone.
For xbox, it supports series x/s and xbox one; for PC, it supports windows 10 and 11.
I tested with PC using the usb dongle and Bluetooth, I also tested with my mobile phone via Bluetooth.
No problem when connected using Bluetooth but when using the usb dongle with my PC, I notice volume is soft at level 50 and you cannot hear anything at all when the volume level is below 20. The volume adjustment is nonlinear too. This is strange and is most likely software issue because I don't experience this issue when using Bluetooth. This happen to two different PC I tested.
Battery life is excellent, I believe the 80 hours battery life number stated on the box.
This head set has superhuman hearing feature, I feel like it is just suppressing other sound and amplified the sound of interest like footsteps.

A solid gaming headset

I'm always a bit excited when I get a new Turtle Beach headset. I have had the previous generation of the Stealth and since it was one of the best gaming headsets I've owned (in this price range), I decided to replace it with the new version. So, upgrade or downgrade?
Let's start with what's in the box. You get the headset, a USB dongle and one of the shortest charging cables I've ever seen. There's a quickstart guide which covers all functions fairly well and that's it. First contact with the headset was very positive as it feels sturdy and has some weight, which is always a good sign. Buttons and dials are all easily accessible for quick modifications. Getting used to their placement on the headset doesn't take long either. As with previous generations, the mic flips down from the left side and disappears back into the body when flipped back up. That's engineering done right. The wear is comfortable with plenty of foam padding.
On the technical side, you get a modern headset with plenty of options to connect it to many different devices. Those include Xbox (all series and previous One/X), PC, Switch and Android. This is made possible by switching from RF to Bluetooth and vice versa, which makes this headset extremely versatile. When used with a compatible device and the dongle, there is virtually no installation. It's truly plug and play in most cases. The Bluetooth might take a couple more steps, but it works fine after that. The initial charging took about 2 hours. The specifications claim 80 hours of gaming on a single charge. I was unable to verify that, but even after several hours of gaming, the Stealth was still almost fully charged. One thing I will mention is that this headset does not have a 3.5mm audio jack connector. I know that most people like to cut the cords, but I do like to connect my headsets to an external DAC. It's not a deal-breaker but it still bugs me.
The sound quality for a headset such as this one is more than respectable. It contains a built-in DAC which can improve the audio quality and it allows you to fine tune the headset to your liking. The box mentions the use of AI noise cancellation technology. It's hard to tell whether it's done using hardware or software, but it does do a decent job at reducing ambient noise. One thing that stood out during a Call of Duty match was how well and accurately it renders footsteps and other subtle sounds, which is somewhat crucial in a multiplayer game. You can hear noises that probably would escape you if you'd use a different headset. Music sounds good (nothing to write home about, but good enough) and voice chat is excellent.
Turtle Beach played it safe with this refresh by upgrading an already good gaming headset instead of trying to reinvent the wheel. It is extremely easy to use, has a very good sound and it doesn't break the bank. And considering that the previous model I own still works, I think the Stealth 600 is a safe bet.
