It offers a rich sound for both Xbox 1 and Windows 10. The Xbox 1 Stealth 600 by Turtle Beach is considered one of the top-tier headsets in terms of nearly everything.

It doesn’t sound like much maybe, but if you’re like me and every single USB port on your PC is filled, such economy of space is a blessing. Then press the corresponding button on the wireless adapter, the two connect, and boom-now you have both your controller and headset hooked up, and only one USB port occupied. And setup? You just press the familiar pairing button on the Stealth 700, the same pairing button you find on an Xbox One controller. I’ve had one or two dropped connections, but just for a few seconds each time. It really is seamless, for the most part. So slow that the Stealth 700 is the first headset I’ve used with that’s compatibile, three years after the Xbox One Wireless Adapter’s debut. The Xbox One Wireless Adapter in question.Īdoption’s been slow though.
It sounds promising enough, basically allowing you to connect all your devices through one central hub instead of needing a dongle here, another dongle there, and so on. I really have been curious to see whether manufacturers would take advantage of this standard. The Stealth 700’s 10 hours feels lackluster by comparison, especially since there aren’t any fancy LEDs or anything for Turtle Beach to worry about.īut the real coup is, as I mentioned, the fact that the Stealth 700 connects directly to the Xbox One Wireless Adapter for Windows 10. The average nowadays seems to be about 15 hours, with more than a few headsets touting up to 24 hours. Speaking of which: Battery life could be better. Most annoying is the low-battery indicator, which silences whatever you’re listening to so a gruff man can say “low battery” every 2 to 3 minutes. That in itself isn’t unreasonable, but Turtle Beach a) cuts off the audio you’re listening to, when playing an alert and b) fashioned some unreasonably long alerts. My biggest complaint is that all of the notifications are handled audibly, in the headset. That’s true of most headsets, so it’s hard to hold it against the Stealth 700, but it’s another place where Turtle Beach could’ve shone rather than simply meeting the average. The microphone is mid-tier, enough to convey your voice but not much else. Seems like a fashionable gimmick at best. (It sounds awful.) But I haven’t noticed my skills improving or anything as a result. It certainly works as advertised, and woe be on the person who leaves that mode enabled and then listens to music. In practice? Well, I haven’t noticed a huge difference. Regarding the “Superhuman Hearing” mode I mentioned above? As I said, it’s supposed to highlight enemy footstep sounds by boosting that narrow EQ band a bit.
