When I entered the realm of gaming headsets, Turtle Beach was one of the first brands that caught my attention - namely for their budget-friendly options in a sea of brow-raising pricey tech. To this day, I still covet my Star Wars-branded X-Wing Turtle Beach headset, despite it not holding a candle to what a pair of high-powered cups like the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 can offer.
Its predecessor, the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2, remains one of the best gaming headsets to this day and reinstated what the Stealth line was known for with its beefy battery life and never-ending compatibility options. This time around, the brand has yet again taken one of the best Xbox Series X headsets and packed it with more premium features, including simultaneous Bluetooth and 2.4GHz connectivity, and booming 60mm dual audio drivers that make even the busiest game soundscapes sound full of life.
Sadly there is no noise cancelling to be found, which is a bit disappointing given the headset is priced at $199.99 / £179.99 - a lot more than its mid-range rival. Additionally, its heavy, bulky design prevents it from being the ultimate mid-range powerhouse. Regardless, there’s still a lot at play here, and Turtle Beach has proven again it can add an extra bit of pizazz to an already impressive piece of tech.
