The Stealth 600 headsets are physically identical and available in black or white for the Xbox One or PlayStation 4. Both are lightweight headsets made of matte plastic with a foldable hard plastic microphone on the left earcup. The same earcup houses all of the headset’s controls and ports, including a USB-C port for charging, power and audio mode buttons, and microphone control and volume controls. The Xbox One version has an additional pairing button next to the USB-C port, showing that the two models function slightly differently.
The ear cups feature fabric-covered foam pads that don’t feel nearly as soft as the memory foam padding we’ve seen on most other headsets, like the Razer Nari Essential. Along with the leatherette-wrapped padding under the headband, the headset feels a bit stiff around the ears. However, it is very lightweight, and the breathable ear cushions should make for fairly comfortable gaming sessions. The stiff leatherette-wrapped padding around the ears makes it feel a bit stiff when worn, but it is very lightweight and breathable. ..
The microphone is not particularly clear or clean for recording or streaming. The microphone is built on a stiff arm with limited movement, so you have few options for positioning it properly in relation to your mouth.
The Stealth 600 headset offers clear, balanced music playback with relatively weak bass. The four built-in audio modes offer different sound balances, but we found the best overall sound balance in Standard mode. The headset handled our bass test track, “Silent Shout” by The Knife, at maximum volume without a hint of distortion. ..
The Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 is a great wireless headset with strong audio performance. However, it has a poor microphone that makes it difficult to use for voice chat. The Razer Nari Essential is a better option with superior sound and a better microphone for the same price.
Wireless gaming headsets are a great way to save money, but there are a few factors to consider. The Astro Gaming A10 or Razer Blackshark V2 X both support wired controllers, so you don’t have to worry about buying additional hardware. However, if you want a simple, straightforward wireless gaming experience on your PS4 or Xbox One, the Stealth 600 is a great choice. ..
