Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Wireless Multiplatform Amplified Gaming Headset for ...

I purchased these after my existing headphones (Arctis 3) started falling apart (after a fair few years heavy usage).I struggled to find headphones which fit all the requirements I was looking for, which included ability to control music and switch between wireless and bluetooth from the headset, but also reviewed well generally. When I found these they had not yet been released, but I made a note and started watching, and merely a few weeks later they were available.My very first impressions were a little mixed.- Coming from my previous headset, they were much less comfortable on my head. I would find within half an hour I was adjusting the strap forward or backwards as a painful pressure point developed.- The battery on the other hand is astonishing. I set them up and used them for a few days for many hours, and when I checked the battery it was at 90%. I think I used them for around 8-10 days before I felt the desire (not need) to charge them, and they fully charged in no time at all.- The ability to connect wirelessly to my home PC, and via bluetooth to my work laptop, allows me when I need to join a work call to: pause my music, swap to bluetooth (work lappy), pull down mic, and have my call. And then do this in reverse to return to my home PC after. The reason this is important to me, is it avoids needing to use my USB switcher to swap my keyboard/mouse back to my PC to pause music, then back to the laptop again to answer my call.- I thought I needed customizable controls to control media as I didn't see clear mention of it elsewhere, but the options for the two customizable controls are very limited. Media is already built in however to the multifunction button, so perhaps my headset options were wider than I'd thought.I also had a few issues early on, but they only happened once and perhaps have been patched in the firmware or software since:- My headphones stopped outputting sound from any source. I had to do a reset of the device through the app to get it to work again.- The battery indication was incorrect unless you danced about a bit. After running down the battery and then charging "to full" it seemed to drop awfully quickly next I checked. I found the battery would charge and claim full, but if I turned off the device and software, then reinitialized everything, it would check properly and realized it was down around 70%.My overall feelings now after having these for months:- I still think the "hammock" suspension method is better, but after a few months I can wear them for hours, absentmindedly still adjusting them slightly if I get sore, and can forget to take them off at times.- The battery continues to be fantastic. I generally forget about the battery entirely, and at some point I think "I can't remember when I last charged these" so I check and am at 20-30%, so I try to charge them some time in the next few days. They've never run out on me. I do wish the software battery alert was a normal windows notification though. It seems to be a custom drawn one, but it sits behind other windows so unless you go to the desktop you've no idea it's there, so I turned it off again.- I find I often walk around the house listening to music or streaming without taking them off. The wireless range is good enough, though I occasionally get small distortions when I'm at it's limit. It's fine if I'm going to make a coffee or something, or wash up, or make dinner... yeah I keep them on for a lot actually. Or write a review... I've had them on my head for the last 30 minutes with nothing coming out of them; forgot they were there. They just switched themselves off from inactivity.- I'm no audiophile, but sound seems perfectly clear and high quality to me. I don't hear any cracking or other distortions I'm aware of, but as said my bar for sound quality isn't that high really.- The 'flip to mute' microphone only matters in wifi mode. In bluetooth mode it doesn't mute when it's up, or has a separate inline microphone. I wish I could switch this off through settings personally, as I liked that on my old one I could mute and unmute myself from the headset when I needed to talk or listen, rather than needing to use software buttons to do it. It's a minor gripe though. I just have to remember when on bluetooth I'm always audible.So as someone who is not an audiophile, who appreciates battery long enough to forget about, built in media controls, ability to swap between two computers through the headset, and general value for money, I'd highly recommend this headset.

Comfy, mic is clear, volume is great, does slip on my head now and then, but I have a weird shaped head. Bluetooth and wireless work with no break ups in sound. Great headset

Bought this to replace the official Xbox one. As to be expected these days from MS, it developed some issues (to go with the 4 pads I have with stick drift issues!!).I bought this as the cheaper alternative to the 700 and to be honest out of the box I regretted the decision. Bit of a mistake on my part but I had expected these to pair over 2.4 channel with the Xbox Series X so I could use the dongle with another device. It seems the dongle is required. Plugged in and pairing was simple, the need to download the swarm app on my mobile to install updates seems unnecessary for this type of device and my phone didn't play well for this part initially. After getting in app the settings available for fettling with the sound are notably better than the MS product.I wear glasses and found the to be almost as comfortable as my Sony XM3 and not quite as tight on my head as the MS cans. Ear cushion fabric has nice feel and buttons along with boom all feel well enough put together.The sound is better than the official cans which are too bass heavy in my opinion. Playing Atmos content or games with 3d sound are also more emersive with these TH Stealth 600.I've decided to keep these as very pleased with how they perform, feel and my daughter loves the purple matches her pad!One thing which did let them down is the connectivity can be unstable. Personally I can't stand seeing blinking lights out of the corner of my eye and as I also have two SSDs for games plugged in there opted to plug the dongle into a UGreen hub along with the drive which I used the least. Everything worked fine initially but then periodically sound would stop followed by the confirmation message "wireless mode" before resuming and doing the same thing again a few minutes later.Ended up plugging into a dedicated port which worked well until I sat down at which point it did the same thing again. Of course I then plugged into the front port and got a similar result. Did a bit of trouble shooting. Seems the problem in my case was my wifi router was interfering due to broadcasting it's own 2.4gh network a few feet from where I was sitting. Temporarily turning it off and the problem completely went away. My ultimate solution was to switch the channel on my WiFi broadcast to not conflict. All in all a bit of a faff hence only 4 stars for what otherwise is a great headset for the price.

Excellent quality wireless gaming headset, very good sound and mic, extremely comfortable, quick to charge with very long battery life.

Love them, upgraded from the 70 recons. Love the long batteries and wireless feature with amazing sound

This model by far has been the best. We have tried a less expensive model and had issues with connecting to the computer/xbox, and they both eventually broke. After researching wireless these were still the best option. So I upgraded. They have lasted 6 months and have had no issues with connecting to the computer or game units. They also seem sturdier. I watched my son take them off using only one side, with his old one that broke, so I told him to take them off with both hands - take off one hand on each ear cup- so he won’t stress the headphones. Also if he breaks these he has to buy the next pair!🤣

Audio quality coming through mic is great however have been told I sound like I’m talking through my mobile phone countless times. It is beyond less then average mic quality. The swarm 2 app for controlling the headset is borderline useless, the firmware updates released to address the tinny mic did absolutely nothing. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY ON THESE. Buy a pair of Astro A10 for 50% cheaper than these, or invest a little bit more and look into steel series. I have had £10 temporary headsets that have better quality all around.

Really nice headset, very comfortable and sturdy, good microphone, wireless connectivity is pretty good, I’m yet to try Bluetooth
