About this deal

The integrated flip-to-mute microphone is effective, if unspectacular, and the compact design is relatively comfortable throughout lengthy play sessions. Some may long for headier bass, and a more dynamic mid-range, but the truth is for the price it's difficult to find all that much to complain about. The Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX is a solid alternative to other mid-range headsets out there, with its long battery life and console compatibility helping to push it over the edge. Optimized for Surround Sound – Tuned to deliver immersive surround sound with Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos and DTS Headphone: X & Sony 3D Audio for PS5 The Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX has 50mm dynamic drivers and sounds pretty good for a gaming headset, although it deviates from our in-house target in a few areas. Just like the headset’s predecessor, there’s a pronounced drop-off in bass and lower mid-range sounds, which can make music sound a little different from your typical consumer headphone, and very different from a typical gaming headset. Highs, mids, and lows It performed better in games like Tony Hawk, where you’re primarily listening for the music. Again, the headset is not going to replicate “Superman” and “Guerilla Radio” as well as a pair of nice wireless headphones, but you aren’t going to miss out on anything.

And that's despite being an Officially Licensed product by Microsoft for Xbox. A handy USB transmitter ensures Wireless compatibility with PlayStation consoles, PC, and Nintendo Switch. That versatility is also reflected in the quality of sound that the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX can deliver, with its 50mm drivers delivering solid amplified surround sound and a considerable amount of clarity – this will be particularly noticeable for those of you with a penchant for playing first-person shooters online, and RPGs where you want to feel enveloped in the world around you. The Stealth 600 Gen 2 supports Windows Sonic, which delivers a crude, but effective virtual 7.1 surround sound. In 3D games, noises coming from the sides or behind often sound disproportionately loud. In a way, that’s good, because it’s very easy to register that they came from a specific direction, but its poorly balanced audio feels jarring and takes you out of the experience. The plastic-heavy construction would make me hesitate to throw it into a bag for travel and I’d personally recommend keeping it permanently at your gaming setup in a place where it won’t be sat on or assaulted by a pet/child. With the price of this headset now breaching into triple figures, it deserves a bit more caution. Power of the dongle A new firmware update is ready for your Stealth 700 Gen 2 for Xbox and PlayStation ®! Connect your headset to the Turtle Beach Audio Hub program on your PC or Mac to update your device’s firmware to version (v.2.0.3).

How is the microphone on the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2?

They actually work better than you'd think their 10mm drivers would allow; because the frequency response is limited, you'll get a fair balance of sound regardless of what you're listening to. That's quite an achievement. The Battle Buds won't match other headsets on this list in terms of quality, yet they're still able to impress. The Turtle Beach Audio Hub mobile app for iOS and Android has received an update to 3.14.8 (201) for iOS and 3.14.8 (232) for Android. Turtle Beach has stormed into this luxury space with a fantastic audio quality that doesn't compromise on features or additional extras. Turtle Beach Stealth Pro review

If you only use the Stealth 600 Gen 2 with your Xbox One (Or Series S/X), you’ll only need Audio Hub to update the headset’s firmware. Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 – GamingThe Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 delivers good, but not outstanding sound. In testing with games like Marvel’s Avengers, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2 Remake, Streets of Rage 4, Mortal Kombat 11, and more, the audio was accurate and clean, but didn't always convey the little details of a game’s sound design. Low tones, like explosions or a booming “Finish Him,” come in hard, but the “thud” of the bass doesn’t sound as crisp as it could. So that’s yours. Take it to the bank. But what isn’t coming along for the ride is much in the way of added features - this is a simple wired model with just a mic mute, detachable mic arm, and volume scroll wheel in the way of physical controls. Not one for perennial tweakers then, but those who enjoy simplicity and fundamentally great audio should scout out this new Recon as one of the latest best Turtle Beach headsets to appear.If you're looking for solid performance without delivering a heartbreaking blow to your bank balance, the Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX from Turtle Beach is an affordable point of entry into the world of top gaming headsets. Coming in a rather ostentatious midnight red color configuration, this supercharged revision of the Turtle Beach Stealth Gen 2 boasts a 48-hour battery life (a huge improvement over the 24-hour offering of its predecessor), a latency-free 2.4GHz Wireless connection, and fantastic compatibility across all major platforms. A new firmware update is ready for your Stealth 600 Gen 2 for PlayStation ®! Connect your headset to the Turtle Beach Audio Hub program on your PC or Mac to update your device’s firmware to version (v.1.2.4). For anyone who plays on the go, a traditional headset isn't always the answer. That's why the Turtle Beach Battle Buds are such a great solution. They're small, convenient, and eminently portable.

The Stealth, Elite, Recon, and Atlas lines run the gamut of prices and features, with compatibility options for PC, consoles (yes, including Nintendo Switch), and mobile devices to boot. That means they've got entries for all platforms, many of which are considered some of the best gaming headsets on the market. A new firmware update is ready for your Stealth 700 Gen 2 for PlayStation ®! Connect your headset to the Turtle Beach Audio Hub program on your PC or Mac to update your device’s firmware to version (v.2.0.6). I normally plug my wireless headset in to charge each night, but when testing the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX, I left it unplugged to test the claimed 48-hour battery life. I have to say, Turtle Beach isn’t lying with its longevity promise. This thing goes and goes and goes.The Stealth 600 Gen 2 Max may be a headache of a name, but the headset itself is an absolute joy to use.
