Sound Performance: Where Audio Meets Immersion
The Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 takes gaming audio to a new height. Game and chat audio delivered with clear, vocal highs that bring out detail and information while crisp, rich bass with full low-end rumbles. Powered by 50mm Nanoclear speakers fine-tuned to reproduce sound as accurately as possible, it brings your gaming world to life with realism and clarity. Accurate highs and rich, deep bass help bring out sound location cues and immerse you in the world.
The soundstage ensures you feel and hear everything as it surrounds you, allowing you to pinpoint enemy positions through subtle directional cues, react to imminent danger in split seconds, and experience what feels like movie-quality sound. In an open-world game, it’s like being in the city itself; in a stealth title, it feels like you’re among the trees; in a first-person shooter, you’ll likely find yourself going all-in on the firefight, as if you were there yourself.
Mic Quality: Communication Clarity for Victory
Collaborative gaming requires communication, and Stealth 700 Gen 2 knows that clear communication means clear sound from all sides of the game. The built-in mic is noise-cancelling and exhilarating, projecting your voice with clarity and removing extraneous noises from around you, letting every team-mate hear you more clearly than ever. Noise cancellation means no frustrating, unnecessary background noises muddying up your communication with your team, so this headset enables a fluid and seamless communication experience through the hustle and bustle of the game, allowing more fun and effective teamwork which could be a give-away in competitive games.Comfort and Fit: Engineered for Extended Gaming Sessions
A gaming headset is an absolute must-have accessory, for knowing where your enemy’s coming from and being right about that shot. Stealth 700 Gen 2 is especially comfortable for long sessions. I have particularly large ears and the breathable memory foam earcup size was just right for me. The cushion completely covered all my ears. The mesh fabric in the earcup and the two vents actually encouraged more ventilation on my head and reduced the “heat island” sensation we often feel from prolonged wearing of headphones. It has an adjustable headband; even with my large head, I could tighten it (again too easy) without feeling the need to remove it. The weight is very light, and it didn’t feel like it settled onto my ears.The Pros and Cons: A Balanced Perspective
While it brings the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2’s gaming experience, the console also comes with its own pros and cons, all worth considering. Here’s a breakdown of its pros and cons:Pros
- Exceptional Sound Quality: Experience real-time audio with crisp, clear highs and deep, rumbling lows and full-bodied depth and sound that seems to come from the room around you.
- Effective Annocting: Low annoying sounds are successfully blocked by the ANC technology, allowing the focus solely on the audio of the game and friend.
- Comfortable, Lightweight Create: Soft earcups, adjustable headband, lightweight design allows for extended sessions of gameplay.
- 'Super Baater Life!' – The battery has a memorable capacity of 20 to power your game for up to 20 hours, allowing you to pull all-nighters and brave intense blizzards in virtual fields.
- Reliable Wireless Connection: Adopt 2.4G wireless frequency to ensure that audio transmission is free of lag and keeps you uninterrupted into the game.
- Plataforma multiequipo versátil: El Stealth 700 Gen 2 es compatible con Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PC y Nintendo Switch.
Cons
- High Price Point: It’s a premium headset and it comes at a premium price. This headset will be a miss for the super-price-sensitive budget gamer.
- Possible Mic Problems: Overall, it’s been well-reviewed, but some users have experienced mild problems with the microphone quality: slight background noise every once in a while, transmitted voice sometimes sounding muffled. However, incidents are very few and far between (this is just a speculation, of course) and could be fixed in upcoming software updates while the placement of the microphone is probably just minor user error.
