The video reviews and compares two Turtle Beach gaming headsets, the Stealth 600 Gen 2 Max and the Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max, both compatible with Xbox, PlayStation, and other consoles. Key differences include connectivity options, battery life, control functionalities, and audio performance. The Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max has Bluetooth in addition to 2.4 GHz wireless, customizable features via an app, and superior build quality, while the Stealth 600 Gen 2 Max offers a longer battery life at the expense of fewer features and simpler controls.
Both headsets have a flip-to-mute microphone and multiple EQ presets but receive criticism for their overall sound quality, particularly the Stealth 600. The 700 model, although slightly better in audio performance and comfort, still faces issues with mic quality and connectivity through its app. Alternative headsets like the Corsair HS80 and the Audeze Maxwell are recommended for their superior audio and build quality, with the 700 Gen 2 Max being the better choice between the two Turtle Beach models due to its improved features and comfort.

In this segment, the video reviews and compares two Turtle Beach gaming headsets: the Stealth 600 Gen 2 Max and the Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max. Both of these headsets are designed for Xbox but also work on PlayStation and other consoles. They include a dongle that switches between USB and Xbox modes. The Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max has Bluetooth in addition to 2.4 GHz wireless, while the Stealth 600 Gen 2 Max only has the 2.4 GHz wireless. The 600 model has a longer battery life of up to 48 hours versus 40 hours for the 700 model, likely due to the lack of Bluetooth.
Control-wise, both headsets feature a flip-to-mute microphone and use their left ear cup for controls. The Stealth 600 Gen 2 Max has specific controls for headphone volume, mic monitoring (USB mode) or chat volume (Xbox mode), and a mode button for switching between four EQ presets (signature sound, bass boost, bass plus treble boost, and vocal boost). It also includes a power button that enables a “superhuman hearing” mode, which the reviewer criticizes.
The Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max shares similar controls but adds more features, such as infinite scroll for mic monitoring/chat volume and customizable functionalities via an app. The app also allows for adjustment of the superhuman hearing effect.

In this part of the video, the speaker explains the controls and audio quality of two headsets, the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 Max and the Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max. The Stealth 600 has simple, easy-to-use controls for handling calls and audio tracks but has lackluster audio quality, with poor sound separation and hollow highs. It is not recommended for music listening or immersive gaming. The Stealth 700 performs better, with a more open bass and slightly warmer sound, making it more suitable for FPS games but still not ideal for music. The microphone quality on both headsets is below average and lacks good noise rejection, making them unsuitable for clear communication. The Stealth 700’s mic positioning does help reduce plosive sounds, but overall, neither headset is recommended for microphone quality.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses various features and their experiences with the Corsair HS80 and the Drop EPOS PC38X headsets. They then delve into the functionalities of Turtle Beach headsets, comparing the Stealth 600 and Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max. They mention the limited functionality of the Turtle Beach desktop app for the 600 model and describe the challenges with the 700 model’s phone app, noting its poor connectivity and EQ adjustments.
The speaker highlights that although the 700 retains settings across devices, its build quality and comfort far surpass the 600. They explain the 600’s flimsy plastic and scratchy mesh padding compared to the softer and more snug 700, which gets hotter during use. They detail the 700’s strong clamping force and a glasses relief system for added comfort.

In this part of the video, the speaker compares two headsets: the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 Max and the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max. They discuss the adjustability and comfort of each headset, noting that the 700 Gen 2 is more comfortable with sturdier build quality, some metal components, and less pinching around the neck. The speaker ultimately doesn’t recommend either headset, suggesting alternatives like the Corsair HS80 for better audio and microphone quality at a similar price, or the Audeze Maxwell for superior sound and build quality despite its higher cost. If one must choose between the two Turtle Beach models, the 700 Gen 2 Max is preferred for its better overall build and features.
