The Stealth 700 Gen 2 is a large, hefty headset that eschews the garish hues of earlier generations in favour of a more covert black and silver appearance. Only gamers will notice the minuscule Turtle Beach badges on each ear cup; to the uninformed, these headphones will just appear to be any other pair of headphones. Due to how well concealed the Stealth 700 Gen 2’s stalk mic is when folded away, such folks may likewise be unaware of its existence.

The headset is uncomfortable and cheaply made. The ear cushions are good, but the headset is too heavy and uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time. Additionally, the seal is poor and some outside noise is heard.

The Oculus Rift headset has a number of controls located on the edge of each ear cup. Initially, you’ll need to remove the headset to access these controls. However, after a short time, you’ll get used to their positions and feel. ..

The Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 headset connects to your PS4 using a tiny USB dongle, just like the official PlayStation Pulse headset. But the Stealth 700 also has Bluetooth, in contrast to the Pulse headset. This is a very useful function because it lets you connect to both your phone and console at once, allowing you to watch YouTube videos without taking off your headset while you’re playing. It also lets you use the headset as regular headphones when you’re out and about. ..

The Turtle Beach Audio Hub app can be used to modify the headset’s settings when it’s linked to your phone. Here, you can change the functionality of a few custom controls, change sound profiles, and change the volume of the Mic Monitor.

The Mic Monitor app is a useless waste of time. The only reason to use it is if you’re happy with the default sound profile. If you’re not, then stick with the Signature Sound.

The PS5’s headset battery has a 20-hour battery life, and USB-C charging is rapid and simple. When you turn on the headset, voice feedback informs you of the remaining battery life and the condition of your connections, but you don’t get the pop-up information on the PS5’s screen that you do when using the Pulse headset.
