![]() ![]() The Stealth 700’s signature sound provides a relatively evenly balanced delivery that edges towards the bombastic. Headset manufacturers are, on the whole, nailing down the quality of their drivers and how they funnel music into gamers’ ears, and it’s clear that Turtle Beach has used their years of knowledge to put out another great-sounding product. While its build is robust, the Stealth 700 Gen 2’s audio goes beyond that, turning in an effortless response that’s perfect for gaming, movies, and music. ![]() This might not be that big a deal if you talk especially loudly, or if there’s never any change to the external noise around you, but it’s an annoyance if you want total control. It sits nowhere near your mouth, or at least it doesn’t on me, and while its pickup seems perfectly fine, I like the option of changing it depending on the moment to suit quiet or loud situations. The downside is that there isn’t much ability to alter its position, with only the smallest movement in the joint allowing you to angle it slightly inwards when in use. The microphone can be very well tucked away on the Stealth 700, its solid plastic arm folding up into the body of the left earpiece. I love this feature, saving you from dongles and their associated gumming up of USB ports. There’s also an Xbox pairing button, because the Stealth 700 is, much like the Official Xbox Headset or Steelseries 9X, able to connect directly with your console. There’s a host of controls to be found on the left earpiece, with dials for volume and chat, and buttons for power, Bluetooth, and switching modes. The ear cushions are full of Turtle Beach’s cooling gel material, which helps you to stay cool under pressure, or through a twelve hour Call of Duty marathon, and while they seem to help, they don’t feel as cool as other similarly equipped headsets like the Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2. I think it’ll prove too much for younger players though. It’s certainly got a fair bit of heft to it, weighing in at 453g, but the ear cushions and the memory foam of the headband do a decent job of balancing it all out. While some plastic headsets creak or feel hopelessly weak, the Stealth 700 feels rather resolute in comparison. ![]()
