Turtle Beach has released its latest headset, the Stealth 700 (Gen 3) headset. This headset is aimed to be the definition of premium as it features CrossPlay Dual 2.4GHz, USB-A wireless transmitters, an 80-hour battery life, tons of audio enhancements, and more.

Earlier this year we had the chance to review the Stealth 500 and the Stealth 600 gaming headsets from Turtle Beach. The Stealth 700 is expected to be the best of the three based on performance and comfortability.

As soon as we unboxed the Stealth 700 (Gen 3) headset, it was clear that this is a premium product based on its design and feel. Among all the Stealth headsets, this one is the most durable and surprisingly much better than the Stealth 600.

Is the Stealth 700 comfortable?

If you’ve ever used any headset of any kind you know there is the option to extend it to fit your head. The Stealth 700 does come with that and it can fit heads of all sizes. Usually, when it comes to headsets I get worried that it won’t properly fit on my head since mine is on the larger side, but the Stealth 700 is perfect.

The headphones themselves are very comfortable as they rest on your ears. There has never been a time when I needed to take them off due to discomfort after long gaming or streaming sessions. It’s the best Stealth headset in terms of comfort without a doubt.

Massive 80-Hour Battery Life

When it comes to wireless devices, battery life is crucial, and the Stealth 700 (Gen 3) boasts an impressive 80-hour battery life. This is a significant improvement over the 40-hour battery life of the Stealth 700 MAX (Gen 2) headset, which was already quite good.

Audio

The Stealth 700 (Gen 3) comes with a lot of Audio Enhancements such as Built-in EQ modes including Superhuman Hearing and advanced customization through the Swarm II desktop and mobile app. The customization options feel endless with these Stealth headsets and the 700 (Gen 3) comes with even more.

Audio sounds even better in this headset and I feel you can hear footsteps and your surrounding areas better in games like Fortnite, Halo Infinite, Apex Legends, Helldivers 2, and others. If you just want to listen to music, the bass is phenomenal through this headset.

Swarm II App Features

If you remember what the Swarm II App featured for the Stealth 600 you will be very familiar with the options that come with the Stealth 700. You can set the Audio Master Volume Superhuman Hearing, Microphone Sensitivity, Monitoring, Noise Gate, Audio, and Microphone levels you can preset for certain games.

There’s also a remappable Wheel & Mode Button on the left earcup that can be assign to do different things using the app.

Using the Swarm II app has been very helpful in customizing the headset to my preferences, especially for console gaming.

CrossPlay Technology

This feature, as a console and PC player, is a great selling point. It comes with a dual USB wireless transmitter system that allows for seamless switching between console and PC wireless connections. The transition from PC to my Xbox has been smooth. I don’t have to move the transmitter to another device. I can leave them plugged into where they need to be.

Compared to the Stealth 500 & Stealth 600 they only came with one which at times can be frustrating having to constantly move the transmitter and connecting. Now with the Stealth 700, you don’t have to worry about that. Honestly, the CrossPlay Technology that comes with the latest Turtle Beach headset is my favorite feature.

Microphone

In the past, I had knocked the Stealth headsets for their lack of quality in their microphones. However, this one is a lot better, but I wouldn’t say it’s the best out there. It’s an improvement to the last two headsets we’ve tried out no doubt. The quality is always in the audio which is the most important part that Turtle Beach has always nailed down.

Verdict

The Turtle Beach Stealth 700 (Gen 3) headset is without a doubt the definition of premium. For the price of $199.99, you are getting what you are supposed to and that’s a premium experience. From comfortability to performance to customization Turtle Beach provides everything you could ask for in a gaming headset.

I would highly recommend buying the Stealth 700 (Gen 3). It will last a long time, and its 80-hour battery life will make you forget that it’s wireless, as it can last for an extended period.
