Damn. Apparently the black one doesn’t work with Xbox….

Had this headset for awhile. Had a few issues and the main one being the mic no longer working like it should. Finally got a new headset and just wanna say thanks technee. Been watching you while deciding for about a month now. Definitely the best reviewer I have watched

Can't wait for 700 max review 😍

With a 10% welcome discount i have just snagged a pair of the 600p gen 2 max for £72 including delivery. I bought direct from turtle beach based on a very high 4.8 customer service rating on trust pilot. Thanks for the review.

I'm using the turtle beach stealth 700 G2 on with my PlayStation 5 and they are amazing!

I jusr got these yesterday refurbished from GameStop for 65 plus warranty right at 80 love it. I have some a20 but they are PlayStation version so this was the best budget option for anyone looking. Dope headset

Ive had my steath 600 gen 2 since the release, and they're still working amazing. I use them every day for gaming. Cushions are still in great condition. Ear swivels and headband are still comfortable. Still feels new. Take care of your products and they'll last for years. 😉

Just discovered this guy and i love him

I went for the Corsair HS75 XB instead of this as the non Max version and i made a good choice.

I tried these out last night and like them as I got them on sale for $99. The battery life is great though I hope I don't lose the dongle for it. I can use these with my PS3 which is nice and PS4 and Series S/Switch.

Yo Techne love your vids btw you can use the penrose x dongle on the Ps5 too , thats why i bought them.

Great video, Techne! Would you recommend these over the Razer Blackshark V2 Pros at $120?

i recently got one of these as a birthday gift, but was very disappointed in its cheap "plastic" feel, not great (too tight) comfort, lack of noise canceling, inability to control the volume from the PC controls, and very bad "muddled" microphone pick up sound. It did have great battery life though. I returned it after a few days and went back to my old, beat up Logitech headset (that can't hold a charge for more than an hour) for now - which was a big step up. I won't be looking at Turtle Beach again after that experience!

I need a headset that’s comfortable to my ears for long hours of gaming

4:02 I am using it on PC and it works, will check with my ps5 as well.

Thanks for the review. It would help if you did more microphone testing and tried out all the controls and features of the headset on a PC and Xbox.

@@TheTechne First off, thanks a lot for your always great reviews, I really enjoy them all and has helped me make lots of buying decisions. What I meant was mostly a bit more details on the dials and how they work with Xbox and PC and whether or not that affects the mic. You mentioned there are 2 dials, 1 for volume and 1 for chat balance but it only works on Xbox. So what happens to it on PC and does it have any effect on the mic? Personally, I'm still holding out on a wireless headset until I can somehow find one that has a great mic and does game/chat balance for PC. Most wireless headsets lack 1 thing and offer the others. I was happy that this had it but it wasn't too clear what happens to it on PC.

👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿Great video Techne👏🏿👏🏽👏🏻 I’m pumped that Turtle Beach is now putting the Xbox/USB toggle on the dongle. That’s the reason I recommend the Arctis 7X to so many people. I’m hoping the TB 700s will have Bluetooth

Thanks for this very detailed review!👍🏾 I love my 700 Gen 2 Max for PS4 and PS5 and I just got a Xbox Series S a couple weeks ago. Since I haven’t had an Xbox since the very 1st one, the only headset I have that can work with my Series S are my Astro A10’s. Nice booming sound but they are wired and I really want to have freedom and mobility. Saw these are on sale so I might just pull the trigger on these. Too bad my Gen 2 700s are only for PS4/PS5 and my Switch lite via Bluetooth. I tried to connect them to my Series S but it did not recognize them since the dongle only has PS4/5 and PC options and Series S doesn’t support Bluetooth😢

I used to have a pretty regular wireless pair then they broke bc little brothers but I didn’t get a new one for awhile I just got these and my god I forget how important audio is I’ve never felt more immersed playing Spider-Man swinging low glad I got these

just bought this for myself with an awesome black Friday deal for 85.00 and I'm super excited to try it out. I love the fact I will be able to hear myself trough the mic and into the headset so I know if I'm being to loud!

Just got them. One thing I immediately noticed is how sensitive the mic is. It picks up everything, which is good, meaning you won't have to scream for otgers to hear you, but on the flip side, it will pick up background noise, like your controller, especially when you're not talking.

Hey techne you already had one that work across every platform and is the penrose x from audeze it is the same as this but with better sound.

As much as I liked the Stealth 600 Gen 2 Max, mine had an annoying creaking noise coming from the plastic outside of the right earcup, right where the turtle beach logo is. When I talked or moved any at all it would pop constantly. I tried to ignore it, but it just became too annoying to use. Too me it just felt cheap. Returned.

Could you buy another dongle if you want to keep one in your Playstation and one in your Xbox? Would it work?

The stealth 600 gen 2 is the first headset I bought for my PlayStation5. I have never been so dissatisfied/ disappointed in a electronic product as I was this device. To be real it was actually a blessing in disguise though because that hunt I started once I returned the said headset a freaking frenzy of buys and tests ended with like 11 headsets bought, tested and returned. Ended up with a set of audeze penrose (mains)because of this guy right here and also as back ups I have a 7P+. This guy created my love of headsets and I did not see it coming one single bit lol.

I have owned many versions of Turtle Beach headsets over many years of gaming. After medium length time owned, every model ended up in the trash. Most had broken headbands, some of which had been replaced under warranty. The last two I owned, Stealth 600 & 700, both started creeking so loud around the pivot points, it completely ruined the immersion of the game and made it impossible to chat. I tried every lubrication option available to eliminate the loud noise, to no avail. I will never trust Turtle Beach again. Go with either Steele series or Astro, both of which I have used long term with no issues.

How about this scenario I'm curious about and not sure if that would work this way. Let's say I've got this headset with two usb receivers. This headset is synchronized with both of them. One adapter has slider set to xbox mode and it is connected to xbox and the second adapter has slider set to usb mode and is connected to playstation. Once I turn on my xbox, it automatically connects to this adapter (second one in playstation is powered off) and then I shut down xbox and power on playstation with second adapter. Does it automatically connects to the second receiver plugged to playstation (first one from xbox is powered off)? I don't want to replug one adapter to either one console or the other, I just need to work it on whatever console I turn on.

Another great and energetic video…Keep it up Techne. I have to say that in my opinion, Turtle Beach has gone downhill over the years in terms of sound. I still have their old Elite Pro 2 with the amp and still to this day it’s an amazing sounding headset for critical sounds. They’ve never been the best in sound quality in general, but when it comes to footsteps and other critical sounds and positional audio, Elite Pro 2 is the one if you want a Turtle Beach headset. I mean it’s not as good as SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless, but not far off in terms of footsteps etc. I’ve tried the 700 Gen 2 and in my opinion it sounds only mediocre and I could even say bad when compared to some other headsets. My cousin has the 600 Gen 2 and they’re just ok, nothing special.
