Stealth 600

UPDATE: So, after three years, I feel the need to come back and update this review. After a few months and a few firmware updates, I opted to try these again. And, for the record, they got the kinks worked out. This is a fantastic headset that does exactly what I hoped it would - gave me a headset to use without cords. One that worked while gaming with a controller, a fightstick or any other gadget I plugged into the console ... or even without a controller while just party chatting with friends. I probably should knock it down by a star because after a couple years of use my headset broke last year after countless hours atop my giant noggin. But I have been very happy with it. So much so I actually replaced it with the same model and am still using this same model today with the Series X console. No complaints. ORIGINAL REVIEW: After I was really excited to get this headset as I've been a big fan of Turtle Beach's headsets for more than 9 years (I loved my X3 back in 2008) and I've been looking forward to finally having a completely wireless headset I can use with some of my non-headset friendly controllers (i.e. fightsticks). I gotta say, though, the form factor is nice and the fit is comfy. And, when the headset does work, the sound is fairly solid, with footsteps and gunshots swirling around you during gameplay. But the wireless tech, whether it's Microsoft's problem or Turtle Beach's problem, is not up to snuff. My couch is approximately 5 feet from the TV and the headset constantly crackles and cuts out, making the soundtrack choppy and distorted like a dub-step filled horror movie. The headset just doesn't maintain a solid connection to keep the sound clean. And that's enough for me to call this a failed venture. In addition, there is an audible noise that rings (or fizzes - half hissing, half buzz) in my ears that often fills silent moments. So, while the features on the headset are all there - separate mic and headset volumes, different modes and Xbox Surround sound - the fact it doesn't cleanly offer untainted audio (I'm assuming it's interference in the connection to the console), means this one will have to be sent back. And that makes me super sad. I'm hoping they can figure out the connection issues and patch this product and improve it in inevitable subsequent releases.

After reading some of the negative reviews about these headphones I was a little hesitant about buying them, because of issues with staying connected. But after doing a lot of reading it looked like anyone who did the firmware update didn't run into an issue, so I decided to give them a try. After they arrived I followed the manufacturer's suggestion and update the firmware before syncing them to my Xbox One. After a few of weeks, I'm very pleased! They sound great, connect quickly and stay connected. My gaming setup is in close proximity to both a baby monitor and my router and I'm usually sitting about 8 feet away from my Xbox. I haven't had the opportunity to use the mic as of yet, so I can't comment on how I sound to other people. I like the fact that volume control is easy to get to. My previous headphones where stereo earbuds that I plugged into my controller and I wasn't able to adjust the volume without pausing the game and navigating into the Xbox sound settings. The fact that they are wireless is a defiant advantage. The ear cups are comfortable and don't cause any issues with my glasses. It comes with a USB charging cord which I leave plugged into the back of my Xbox for charging the headphones. I've played around with the some of the sound settings and found the default settings work best for me. I like the superhuman hearing, it does add a very helpful element that I wasn't aware was missing. I'm not a hardcore gamer, but these do make my gaming experience more enjoyable. These are a big step up from just a regular pair of stereo earbuds or headphones in terms of sound quality and gameplay.

Long time turtle beach user here, I have been using Turtle Beach since the Xbox 360, and have used the X31s and XO Sevens with no issues whatsoever. I have been waiting for these for a long time, as I have been waiting for a headset that is completely wireless for both Xbox One and PC. I gave these a go and as everyone else, I received a pair with the light buzzing sound in the left ear cup. Furthermore, I tested these on PC with the Microsoft Xbox Wireless Adapter, and they do in fact still buzz on PC. To make matters worse, if you set the headphones as your default playback and recording device, when you have the mic down (not up and muted), then there is an insanely loud static sound in both ear cups. I was really looking forward to these headphones, but unfortunately they have not met the standards I am used to with Turtle Beach. Please fix these asap TB. Update: With the new firmware update today, connection issues have been better, slightly. I don't want people to get the wrong idea here, these headphones are comfortable, and have great sound when they work. But unfortunately the buzzing, disconnection, and loud static when connected to PC are a lot of issues for a pair of headphones. Knowing Turtle Beach, these will be fixed soon. But for those less patient or not TB enthusiasts like myself, I would look to the wireless Astro A20s that come out this October. I've been on the fence between the two and pulled the trigger with these. I am sure though that the A20s will be fine looking for a fully wireless solution. Update 2: I've been in contact with the TB engineering team after talking to customer service for a few days. They replaced my headphones and they are completely flawless. No buzzing, no static, no dropouts. Give TB a few more weeks and these headphones should be fixed for everyone. They're fixing the problems slowly but surely and I can attest to that.

Geluid klinkt goed voor de prijs, ook met bril goed te dragen. Wel krap voor mensen met breder hoofd. Ook kan de headset niet heel hard of heel zacht valt me op. Lange accuduur en makkelijk te verbinden met xbox one. Helaas niet zonder grote adapter (los kopen) voor pc/laptop dus dat vond ik wel een tegenvaller.

Por el precio se esperaría mejor calidad en sus materiales!

Llevo usándolos un mes, mi experiencia con estos cascos es que son increíbles, super cómodos, la batería dura unas 12 horas jugando en grupo, la conexión a mi XBOX ONE S es perfecta, con solo encenderlos ya se conectan, sin ninguna interferencia, y con muy muy y buena calidad de sonido, y vengo de unos TRITTON ark 100, que también son buenos pero nada que ver con la comodidad de no llevar cables, y además bastante mejor calidad de sonido, cuando cambias las baterías del mando sigues conectado al grupo, ya que se conectan a la xbox y no al mando, las ruletas para graduar entre la voz del juego y la del grupo es super útil, los recomiendo 100%.
