![]() ![]() I mean these are headsets, so it comes with the expectations that they would sound great, but to be able to be used across a variety of systems so seamlessly, without any sacrifices in its quality is a big thing. Perhaps what makes both the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 and 700 Gen 2 Max such a darn good pair of headsets is by far, the way they sound. It does do a great job at blocking outside sounds though, so there is a reason why that pressure is there, and like I said, I did get used to it after use, so it may just be the case of “breaking it in.” Stellar Performance at Your Full Control I’m not sure if it’s because of the banding not really being flexible, thus exerting too much around the ears, but as a warning if you have a large head you may find a bit of discomfort. I’ve gotten used to it, but there is definitely noticeable pressure. While the cushioning is comfortable, I found there to be a bit too much pressure around the ears during my first time wearing. Now if there is a complaint that I do have, then it’s the tightness around the ear cup. And again, if you aren’t someone who uses the mic, you can flick it to the up position and it will automatically be muted (an audible mute,) so you can play without the worry of someone hearing you. Mind it’s not the most flexible of microphones out there with a small angle adjustment, but it is positioned in a great spot where it’ll always pick up your voice. If they are removable then you have to worry about potentially losing it, which I’m sure some of you have before. It either stays stuck out, or rotates awkwardly. ![]() I do like it when you can remove the microphone, but that’s mostly because a majority of sets out there don’t have a good way of hiding it. What I love the most though is how the microphone is carved into the ear cup itself, allowing you to easily swing it down when you want to use it, or hide it completely without the need of removing it. I’ll dive into that stuff a bit later, but in terms of accessibility, it’s all there out of the box, no additional software needed or leaving it up entirely to the consoles themselves. There are two volume controls, one for game, and the other for chat, and then there’s the Bluetooth (700 model only) pairing button, and the mode button to toggle Superhuman Hearing. On the left ear cup you’ll find all the bells and whistles of dials and buttons. It’s not a big thing, but I do like that from a style standpoint, even if you only see it when you take them off. Looking inside the ear cups themselves however, you can actually see the speakers and its internal components as there is a transparent film of fabric over it. And I mentioned before that both ear cups have memory foam cushioning, which are wrapped in a leather-like material. ![]() It’s a nice design choice, one I’ve been fond of in past Turtle Beach headsets, as well as the ROCCAT line. It’s a snug and comfortable fitīoth ear cups also have hinges to rotate in and out, as well as up and down. Now there is surprisingly some weight, but the memory foam underneath the band as well as around the ear cups help cushion that to the point where you probably won’t notice. It’s not bulky either, comparable to the size of my PlayStation 3D Pulse headset. It feels well built, as if the intentions were to make sure that it would last a lifetime. The exterior is covered in a nicely matted plastic finish, and while that may scream “cheap” and “non-durable,” it is anything but. Don’t get me wrong, it’s very plain when you first look at it from pictures and promotional material, but I assure you, in person it looks and feels like a premium product. In the looks department, I have to say that the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 and 700 Gen 2 MAX is remarkably beautiful. The “Max” versions of the Stealth series offer better quality, better sound, and built with consoles in mind, The question is: does it deliver? Here’s our review of the new Stealth 600 Gen 2 Max and Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max. Turtle Beach is back, and this time with yet another exciting new revision to their Stealth 600 and 700 series of headsets. ![]()
