This is an ideal headset for multiplatform users thanks to its dual USB transmitters and fantastic onboard options.
The newest headset from Turtle Beach, the third-generation Stealth 700, really took me by surprise.
As impressed as I was, the headset has some stiff competition.
Read on for my full Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 review.
The headset features a wealth of onboard buttons, surpassing that of previous models like the Stealth 600.
There is a separate wheel for microphone controls and a rebindable mode button, configurable using theSwarm II app.
The headset also features accurate spatial audio, which makes tactical shooters like Valorant a joy to play.
The AI element of the microphone involves background noise elimination.
While calling this AI is a little dubious, it nevertheless worked very well.
This worked flawlessly in my testing, and saved me having to switch dongles between devices.
This puts it above the Stealth 600 and 500, as well as the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5.
Companion app
The Stealth 700 uses theSwarm II companion app, and I am a big fan.
I value the unlimited EQ profiles and precise microphone adjustments, a feature often overlooked in other headsets.
There is also a mobile app, which provides the same parameters on the go.
Some disappointing design choices make the headset frustratingly uncomfortable, souring the otherwise uncompromising performance.
Poor adjustment
Adjusting the Stealth 700 to fit is more of a struggle than it should be.
The adjustable slide is stiff to operate, and doesnt extend far enough.
Uncomfortable fit
For a headset called the Stealth, this headset isnt very stealthy.
This made my neck ache after just a short gaming session.
Im also not a fan of the earcups.
TheSteelSeries Arctis Nova 5, for instance, has velvety soft earcushions that don’t cause any problems.
This would also make the headset a great option for listening to high res music.
With that being said, I was impressed with what this headset had to offer.
The third generation Stealth 700 really snuck up on me and became one of my favorite headsets.
