Turtle Beach Stealth 700 VS Stealth Pro Wireless - NEW Favorite?

[@jameslewis2661]

Just the information i was looking for to decide between the two. I do watch youtube and movies and play games (Once Human, Starfield, No Man's Sky etc). I needed something decent for all of it. I ordered the Stealth 700 afterward and got just what i was looking for. Thank you so much for the straight forward discussion. Liked, subscribed, commented and shared.

[@markfisherstavesacre2817]

I had 700s. Nothing but problems. Stealth pro are way better. I own 2 pair. One for my PS5 and one for my Series X.

[@SlickEdge]

How do these two compare audio-wise to the Stealth 700 Gen. II Max❓

[@91lifetime23]

Im stuck between the Sony Inzone H9 and the Stealth 700 G3 for the PS5, which one would you say has better sound quality and more immersive?

[@1up_heath804]

I had the 700s gen 2 but they are broke at the same spot in both places, on the plastic where they have the screw for where the ear cups attach.. ... i wanna see the distance between them.

[@Bomichi_cx]

Lmfao same I got a second pair and those are starting to break too 🥺

[@Noneya5555]

I had the previous gen Stealth 700. I liked them, but the clamp force was murder. I got the Stealth Pro because of good reviews, and because the Audeze Maxwell was in perpetual pre-order. The one thing I hate about the Stealth Pro is the imprecise and wonky volume wheel You're right about media consumption being subpar on both headsets. Also, the Bluetooth range is horrible on both. I tried out the TB open back headset, which I really liked, and had a much better BT range, though no simultaneous BT. But a firmware update drastically lowered the volume of the open back, so I returned it (I've read that a newer update restored the volume).

[@TooMuchTech]

I did do a review on the Atlas Air as well, I thought it was okay but nothing ground breaking in the slightest The next thing TB needs to work on will be bringing the Mic from the stealth pro to a more affordable level and improving on it from there!

[@Noneya5555]

@TooMuchTech I actually liked the Atlas Air, though I think TB intentionally hobbled it so it wouldn't cannabalize sales of the Stealth 700. The SQ of the Atlas Air made games sound more natural to me. In fact, it wasn't until I heard the open-back, that I noticed the reverberations in the earcups of closed-back headsets. But yeah, TB needs to lower the price of the Stealth Pro, especially as the charging dock isn't feature-packed like the Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro, and the rechargeable batteries don't last as long.

[@percy4209]

SteelSeries Sonar is the key, at least for making the headsets excellent for listening to music/movies. You cannot have a headset be tuned for games and for music at the same time, but you can switch between profiles for when you want to listen to one or the other. If you want to listen to music while you game, you're just going to have to sacrifice the footsteps/gunshots to a certain degree. To hear those, you need to bring the highs way forward while using spatial/surround sound which will make music sound like it's coming out of a tin can. You can find a happy medium for listening to music while gaming, but you will have to sacrifice something on both...Like you'll have to sacrifice a little bit on the low end/bass for music and a little on the high end for the footsteps/gunshots (disabling spatial audio will also help, but then you really lose that positioning advantage in games). So if you can deal with that, go for it and enjoy or have a profile where you can listen to music while gaming when you're playing more casual matches, a profile for strictly gaming for more serious/ranked matches, and a profile for strictly music/cinema/videos. These headsets are a lot more versatile than some people are willing to see by simply using EQ/different EQ profiles for different things. I have the Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max, Stealth Pro, SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless, and Arctis Nova Pro. I can make all of them sound extremely similar in each scenario with Sonar (sonar works with all headsets/headphones) and I much prefer it to the EQ software any other manufacturer has released. In order of my favorite to least favorite (what I think sounds the best) Arctis Pro Wireless (with 3rd party pleather ear pads, stock ear pads lose a lot of the sound and would put these lower on the list using them) Arctis Nova Pro/Stealth Pro (tied for 2nd and nearly identical in overall rating, both have some slight pros/cons that make one or the other better in different areas) Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max

[@Noneya5555]

@@percy4209 Thanks for the suggestion. I have the Arctis Nova 7X, but I find the SQ too boxy, the clamp force too weak (even with the Wicked Cushions earpads), and the mic terrible. Of the headsets you stated that you have, which do you prefer the most, and why?

[@juniorleslie9494]

Stealth 700 Gen 3 has a battery level of 80 hours and I haven’t charged it for over 15 days. And trust me, I used it for gaming heavily and Bluetooth connectivity. lol.

same!

How is the audio?

@@luked.4131 excellent and exceeded my expectations tbh

[@steveo2648]

My friends say my microphone sounds like I’m taking into a can on the turtle beach stealth pro. Any idea how to fix?

[@TooMuchTech]

Change some EQ settings and move mic closer to your face

[@juniorleslie9494]

Tell your friend to get themselves a better gaming headset and stop using the $20 version if he can’t hear you. The issue could be coming from his end and not yours. Lmao.

[@steveo2648]

@ it’s multiple people that are saying that.

Listening while wearing my stealth pro. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@bloopblip7778]

Do you have any presets for Black Ops 6 with the pros

[@Coach_Tillar]

Did you eq the pro’s using an of the dolby atmos software?

[@IGOBYTHENAMELOVE]

Of course this dumbass didn’t

[@FreePickCapper]

This is a great review, thank you for being detailed and honest.

I bought the stealth pro I can’t connect it to my ps5

Why is that David i have the pro connect to ps5

[@chrisclark239]

On the turtle beach. The parts that are painted bronze. Are they metal?

[@TooMuchTech]

Plastic

[@chrisclark239]

@ Thank you. I just Got the Gen 2s as a gift today. I was wondering if I should take them back and get the Gen 3?

[@WafleEnterprises]

If the money isn’t a concern to you and you just want to get a better and better headset each time they come out, then yes return the Gen 2’s and get the Gen 3’s, the extra $50 is worth it for better features, better battery, and multi platform use. If you care about getting the best that TB has to offer and then sit and wait until they finally upgrade the model, the Stealth Pros are my go-to, comfort, boomier and overall feels more rich on its sound design.

[@muratkunt7521]

In germany the stealth pro is reduced (bc of early black friday?) to 209€ and the stealth 700 gen 3 Stil cost 200€ so would it be a better consideration?

[@666pasi]

Same here....

[@bigshock4532]

I have the stealth pros and man do I love them. Highly recommend at 209

[@m1lkman1974]

I think the microphone on the Turtle Beach 700 Gen 3 is it's weak point. I almost bought it until I heard several reviews like yours. TBH, your mic test sounds better than the others. Might be due to firmware update. Tx for your review!

[@XanderzOfficial]

Super worried about the build. I just lost my 3rd pair of 700 gen 2s from the adjustment slider area of the headband. They advertise it’s made of metal but the headband is still the same plastic

[@TooMuchTech]

Ahh yes plastic

[@yosephisrael1279]

How long you have the TB pro's for? Anything wrong with them so far?

[@TooMuchTech]

A little over a year I believe, and nope!

[@henriksimensen5071]

Did you mean both headset perfom bad in media or just stealth pro? Thinking about buying this

[@FreePickCapper]

Get the 700s they are 150 right now on Black Friday and you can use a 10% off code to make them 135. Hands down best he best deal ever in headsets of this price range.

[@curtiscanady7962]

so you would say the pros worth it for the $219 on Amazon? Or just save the money and get the 700s? Are the pros really that much better?

[@Thatnegroswag]

Just get the 700’s bro. The battery life is crazy

[@noahbender2147]

I have the gen 3 700s and love so much about them but the bluetooth crackles and pops thats the only thing i dont like and a deal breaker cant believe most people are pointing this out i returned it and got the exact same pair and it did the same thing before i even updated it ive messed with the eq settings looked online for a solution and nobody is pointing this out but on the tb subreddit there is like a dozen or so people who have said the same thing my non max stealth 700 gen 2s have zero issues like the gen 3s have with crackles and pops gonna return them here soon as i dont forsee this being addressed in an update

[@itzxkevx6116]

is it worth upgrading from astro a30 to the stealth 700?

[@goldenkiller1st636]

Yes it is

[@TooMuchTech]

Indeed

[@collision1988]

I like the microphone sound of pro better.. but it has a hiss and louder background noise, so if u can set up some noisegate.. its fine.

[@dimionddavis1951]

Do You Feel That It’s Better To Hear The Footsteps In Warzone Better With Stealth 700 Or 700 Pro ? That’s Really All I Care About Lol I Have A Ps5

[@TooMuchTech]

Just footsteps, stealth pro But 85% of the footsteps performance plus quality of sound and everything else, stealth 700 is way more balanced

[@Robbobshiskabob]

That stealth pro mic sounds soft, much more prefer 700 gen 3 mic

[@Disreputable91]

Or anything else that doesn't have the dongle short out or overheat, and have to buy a new one for $40 or be SOL when they stop making them...

[@Sir_Turkey328]

I know this is a comparison video between 2 Turtle Beach headsets.. but after hearing how crisp your audio is using that Elgato Wave DX mic with an XLR connection... its convinced me to throw out my USB mic and upgrade my microphone setup! Amazing video and great comparisons.. you got a new sub here!

[@TooMuchTech]

Absolutely the way!! Thank you, and hope you enjoy your new mic set up. Elgato really doesn’t miss

[@muratkunt7521]

And would you be interestet in playing Rainbow Six Siege bc for me thats the most important game where you need to really hear the foodsteps if you wanne beat them in competive .

[@TooMuchTech]

Hmmmm interesting. Maybe

[@SteelCitySniperYT]

They aren’t good for Siege had them and couldn’t pinpoint sounds at all! I have the Atlas Airs now and I can hear footsteps easier with them
