SO I nicked myself shaving, and totally forgot to remove my classic tissue bandage, lol. So I said instead of filming again, lets be human and roll with this ;)
A human making videos for humans. We appreciate that. Let's leave that shiny spotless lifeless deliveries for the marketing departments - here we are talking about the real deal. Thank you, sir.
Finally a wireless headset that works with all platforms, It seems like most companies make headsets that are either good for one console and pc or just one of them. I'll probably pick these up, I love the color.
What I like about this guy, is how spontaneous he is, he fully expresses himself and goes all out to give us the best description he can provide to us. Really good job, thanks for those funny and yet detailed videos.
I had a stealth 600 which has the plastic band for the length adjustment. After over a year of using them I went to put my headphones on and bent that plastic extension just a bit too much and it snapped right off. Safe to say, the metal bands on the 700 are much better and I can be sure I won’t snap them in half 😅
Yeah same here! It literally happened to me 2 days ago, just ordered these today because I like the sound from the 600s, figured I'd watch a video to see if the 700 was built better. Good to see the headband is metal
While I was deployed with the army, we saw sea turtles on a beach. Turtles, on a beach. Turtle on beach. Turtle beach. You rock Techne, everyone’s cool nerd uncle!
First and foremost, I love the effort and quality you put into these videos. I'm always heading to you whenever it comes to headset or gaming accessory reviews! I bought the Audio Technica ATH-M50x because of you, actually! Keep up the great work, Techne. Your work is much much appreciated. This lonely turtle was basking in the sun when a sudden strong wave collided against its shell. Shocked, it twirled its head around to get a bearing of its surroundings. After a few seconds of doing so, it was met with another turtle with the same level of curiosity. They began swimming and coming back to the same spot on the beach every day, growing their long lasting friendship. Not long after, more and more turtles showed up and thus a community and family was created.
This looks like the headset for me. Only one problem. Maybe two. 1) I keep hearing about how bad the connectivity is with the headset losing connection to the dongle if you simply turn your head left or walk a few feet away from the console. This is obviously a deal breaker for ANY headset. and 2) These (or actually all) Turtle Beach headphones look and feel so cheaply made. I've heard people tell me after 6 months they'll accidentally break them just from normal use. And 3, did they discontinue the blue headset for xbox?? I can't find it anywhere!!
Thank you so much for putting out detailed, amazing reviews. I am looking to build a PC, and finding the peripherals for it. Your enthusiasm always makes my day. Keep up the amazing work! Story time! Once upon a time there was a lonely turtle. He wandered the beach alone, looking for a mate. That is until he found the love of his life, the Stealth 700 Gen 2. He loved this headset with the love of a child, for it had so much versatility. He was able to use it with his prized nintendo switch and his beloved PC. It was love at first sight with the beautiful, intricate design, and deep blue color of the dark sea. All the other turtles bowed down to him, as he had in his possession the beautiful, stunning, versatile, and Technie-approved...Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2. THE END
Mike the turtle was born and raised in West Philadelphia. On the playground is where he spent most of his days. Chillin out, maxin, relaxin all cool and shooting some b-ball outside of the school. When a couple of guys who were up to no good started making trouble in his neighborhood. He got in one little fight and his momma got scared, she said “you’re moving with your auntie and uncle to Turtle Beach”. He whistled for a cab and when it came near the license said Fresh and a dice in the mirror. If anything he could say that that cab was rare, but he thought “nah, forget it”, and said “Yo holmes to Turtle Beach”. He pulled up to the house about 7 or 8pm and yelled to the cab “Yo holmes smell ya later”. Looked at his kingdom he was finally there. To sit on his throne as the prince of Turtle Beach.
I got my pair Saturday and man these things blew me away immediately, from the looks of it, to the feel, to the weight, to the amazing immersive sound quality... 10/10 in my book and I've had plenty of different headsets over the years and none of them impressed me like these do
@@soulja617 my brother got the Steelseries artic 7x and it had mic monitoring and could not shut off and it was annoying to hear the slightest noise non stop and the mic picked up everything but sound wise it was pretty good. I had the hyper x cloud wireless and I loved it but I recently accidentally broke I and I'm looking forward to buy these
@@th3Phenomenon I got these for about 3 months and I can say they are amazing the only 2 main issues I have is that when I turn them on they make the power up sound but turn off again or sometimes when I power them up all game volume is very faint even though volume is all the way up you just have to turn off and on again then they will start working this happens almost everyday I need to power them up and off about 3 times but at the same time they need an update which i cant do because you need a computer but distance wise I've walked to my kitchen and they seem to cut out i always blame it on being around a bunch of other electronics but other places like my living room to my front door they are fine I say you can go around 15 to 20ft with out disconnecting. I've let my cousin use them and he's very competitive and he liked them as do I you can hear footsteps very clearly with or without super hearing. In all its very comfortable and overall a great headset.
Love your vids man.... I purchased one of these last week... I love it... the price came down and it's great... been a corded headset user for over 40 years....
This headset has so many issues. Sometime last it struggles to connect to the transmitter. Sometimes it plays static. Other times the mic won’t work unless you turn it off and on again, but if you do that there is a chance you run into one of the other issues. If the headset didn’t have many devastating issues, this could’ve been one of the best headsets out there.
Wish THESE (your) comments were the FIRST for all to see here! The Turtle Beach products are TOTAL SH•T!!! And don't EVEN try to get "Support!"@@MaNtIcHoRaOfficial
Hopefully you can answer pretty quickly as I’m about to buy these soon. But when you’re in a party with friends do they echo? I just bought some steel series 7x and they echo like crazy. So bad I’m buying a new headset not even a month later. Never had an issue with older steel series until these but just wanna make sure before i buy these ones that there’s no echo.
@2002aidan1 I too bought 7x arctics and there is a slight echo. When i would speak i could hear myself through my own headset. I thought it was my duos headset.
Great review as always! Thanks for that. 👍 Can you please make comparison 700 Gen 2 max with a standard 700 Gen 2? It'll be great to see the differences.
FROM SOMEONE THAT HAD THESE: If you want headset that PINPOINTS footsteps whether it be up in down ina staircase building or just left right behind front while ur running. This headset kinda falls behind in that aspect. But the sound of guns and environments seem to be its focus since all of that sounds AMAZING. But if ur a competitive gamer like me return these and get the new Arctis nova pro wireless. Those are purely for footsteps and are more comfortable
i actually just returned my nova pro wireless. they were uncomfortable and my ears began to hurt 10 minutes into using them. i cant deny the audio quality on those were great.
very comprehensive and solid review. Great points and energy ;-D. Will definitely think about picking it up and hopefully it works out for the long term as well!
Tony the Turtle lived on a beach. He’s best friend was Timmy. They played games together wearing their Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 MAX and loved every minute of it.
There once one a turtle on the beach named princess. The beach was so stinkin cozy but she decided to subscribe to the techne and turtle beach to follow all his awesome reviews to know how to continue to stay stinkin cozy.
I remember I preordered this headset for my Xbox. I still use it, and I will give you my opinion. So, I never use it for my computer, phone, PS4, etc. When I turn my headset on, sometimes it pairs normally, sometimes it pairs but the volume will be much lower than normal, and sometimes it will say it paired but there’s no volume at all. Take that with a grain of salt though, because I use it on a USB hub with 2.0 speed. Whenever I used it on a usb directly to the Xbox, from what I remember, this didn’t happen. There’s something else I can’t remember if it happened without the usb hub (meaning before i switched it to the hub) but I don’t think it did. My headset often has very out of the way static. It’s not loud, it’s not in the way, it’s just there. Finally, the signal strength between the receiver and the headset is a bit weird. Sometimes, if I cover the right ear cup with my hand, the audio becomes very choppy. Sometimes, the same thing will happen with the left ear cup. Most of the time though, I can go into the other room without it disconnecting. As for everything else, the headset is perfect. I had bought this headset to replace my old Stealth 600 gen 1, and I love it. I find it to be better for comp games, but whatever. Also, the batt. life on this thing is amazing. I can go multiple days of gaming without recharging. 8/10, would buy again. Not the best headset possible, but it is amazing regardless.
So what was missed in the review for those on PC, Windows volume control does not control this headset rendering the KB multimedia volume controls or if you bind volume to extra mouse buttons etc useless (widely complained about in forums). Now it does work if you use BlueTooth but then BT has all sorts of odd issues with apps like MS Teams with the mic. I have just given up on this headset and purchased another pair of HyperX Cloud Flights, they just freaken work on PC without these annoying issues, also more comfortable, slightly better sound imho and cheaper. This Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max is the worst purchase I have made of the last 5 years.
once a turtle named mateo found a nice island to rest at while on his journey across the ocean. he decided to look for a spot he deemed fit for his evening to wind down and relax. He found a nice spot on the beach, it wasn’t quite right, he moved to the grass further up the beach, still wasn’t quite right in his eyes. But then, he sees the perfect spot on top of a hill overlooking the beach. He makes his way up there, once he arrives, he finds the perfect spot and finally decides to settle here. The bottom of this shell hits the cool grass and he feels the nice,cool,breezy night and he yells….”STINKIN’ COZY!” And Mateo lived happily ever after, the end.
I know exactly what you mean with regards to hearing while playing competitive, I think the sounds are muffled and you haven’t a clue when the foot steps are coming from.
That blue looks awesome, thanks for this review as always very informative. Once i saw a little turtle that was rushing in the opposite direction of the sea, all he need it was a little 180 turn and he made it to the sea.
I just bought these and tried using them for my iPad because I play games on it but when I connected to Bluetooth, although I got the voice prompt, “connected” there’s absolutely no sound coming from my headphones other than the beeping when I max out the volume for the mic… What’s the deal? Are these headphones no longer compatible with mobile devices?
Just subbed. This was my first video and I love the energy and in depth analysis! I’m buying this headset because of you 😂 also love the human moment of keeping the tissue in the video😂
I was looking at this video while on vacation on a beach in Miami and a Turtle came by and seen I was stinky Cozy on my beach chair. As he was walking by very slowly, I pulled out my phone, went online and pre ordered TMNT The Cowabunga Collection for Ps5!! 🤣🤣!!
Thank you Techne excellent review 👏🏿👏🏽👏🏻 My wife & I got married in Hawaii, a small ceremony on the beach. A turtle swam into the cove & up to the beach during our ceremony.
Hey awesome review i had the previous version of these and absolutely loved them. The epic tail of turtle surviving the beach, story starts back in 1942 the tides were strong but the turtles were stronger, our brave heroes swam to shore to find find and the dreaded seagulls were already there... long story short there was less of us than there was of them.
Assuming these are tuned exactly like the original 700 Gen 2's, I'd slightly disagree on the competitive aspect. Run that Vocal Boost setting and, in my opinion, the footsteps are super easy to pick out. Also I know the superhuman hearing thing isn't big for a lot of people, but with that slider you can mix it in just slightly and I think they really shine that way. I use the original gen 2 version all the time in Hunt Showdown where sound position is absolutely imperative and I think they're EXTREMELY well done for that. But it's all personal preference in the end! With that said I have these pre-ordered as an upgrade. I have multiple headsets for different systems, but I love the 700 Gen 2's so much I want the option to use them everywhere. I can't wait to get these.
true that will pull out much more highs, also super human hearing, but they both will remove any fun, or emersion from the headset. It will sound like a tin can
@@TheTechne Absolutely true. I use it sparingly (I think I have the slider set at 30%) if I'm hiding and know I'm being hunted to try and get an edge on the other player(s), at that point I'm just trying to survive and the immersion part is secondary. COMPLETELY personal preference and you're not wrong! 🙂
I’m so excited to get a pair of these! Your opinion and rants lol we’re very helpful in my decision😂It’s so sick you can have your phone connect while playing. I’m always on the phone or listening to music so this will help and plus my roommate won’t get annoyed anymore😂Thank ya so much man. Love your vids! Always positive vibes💯
I bought his headset because of this review but wish I hadn’t. The audio constantly crackles and cuts out and sometimes you just get no audio at all. It is extremely frustrating. Had them about 2 weeks now and gonna have to take them back. They are a great headset when they actually work but most gaming sessions I’m getting crackles and pops for about 40 seconds every 20 minutes or so and it’s just hella frustrating. Especially in games like COD or immersive RPGS.
You have to sacrifice immersion for a competitive sound. You can have both but at that point your only having okay imerrsive sound and just okay competitive hearing. But the great thing about superhuman hearing mode is at 75% or full 100% SHM, youll have all the competive hearing you need. Yes it wont be immersive but you have to sacrifice that for that edge. I remember having a pair of Turtle Beach 420x back in the day and using them for Ark or CoD and being able to pinpoint people with sound before i ever saw them. Couldnt do that as good on my Artics 7x but i still loved the immersive sound those had and how super comfortable that ski band design is. My 7xs broke after years of use so im finally going back to Turtle Beach with these bad boys!
@@virginiaradford5140 I actually lied to myself and didn't go back to Turtle Beach. Instead I bought a pair of Arctis Nova 7x and kinda regretted it. They are awesome, comfortable too. But compared to my Arctis 7x, they don't match up. The full ski band design was a lot more comfortable. Sound wise they were practically the same. The Bluetooth feature I got these for, I never even use. Though if I had to rebuy again I'd go with the Turtle Beach 700 gen 2 cause I'm curious. My brother just bought a pair so I'll go over to his place and try them out when they come in.
This headset is BY FAR the best one in the industry. And barely anyone reviews it. The Bluetooth mix allows me use PS5 and Discord from my phone at the same time. It’s very unique and nobody talks about it.
One thing to bare in mind with this headset is that the volume control on it DOES NOT work with windows. The volume is simply on or off. You can go into the windows mixer and lower the volume for each individual program but you can't adjust the main windows volume with the headset at all.
This would be the perfect headset for my daughter who has her new gaming laptop coming and plays XBox and Switch games now. And she’s a turtle! J/K, she’s a Tuttle. But I do know a story about a turtle… There was once a daddy turtle who took his family to the beach. He was really excited to relax on the sand just for five minutes of rest. But when they got there he had to get his baby turtles’ toys out for them. Then he had to bring them down to play in the waves. Then he went with them to look at the beach grass because it was so tall. Then they all searched for seashells, had lunch, cleaned up, swam for a bit, made sandcastles, and had a great time. As they were getting ready to go, one of the baby turtles said “dad, you forgot to relax for five minutes! It’s the only thing you wanted to do!” And the daddy turtle smiled at his kids and said “yeah, I think I found some better things to do here though. Maybe some other time I’ll relax. When there aren’t so many great experiences I’d never want to miss.”
And thanks for all the great reviews. Anyone who didn’t believe how raw and honest your reviews are should watch this one. Wouldn’t re-record with the shaving bandaid off (we’ve all been there, I feel ya!) because you can’t recreate such a real and honest flow of thought. I dig it and appreciate you.
Thank you thank you thank you, I’ve been trying to get Bluetooth to connect to my phone for the last 3 hours. You told me exactly what to do to fix the problem. Great video
When I was in Hawaii there were a bunch of turtles chilling on the lava rock. It was hard to see them at first but very cool since they were so big and there were so many!
I have the original 700 gen 2 from ur recommendation. Actually those n my Corsair hs80 are from urs as well. Dude I recommend u all the time man. Dope content I like ur energy. I do like the original but I feel u on the footsteps part. It’s weird. I play a lot of destiny 2 n it’s much better with the Corsair headset when I’m in PvP. I will upgrade to these tho. I love the function n sound. Lol I use ur eq settings too. I like the blue tho. All my headsets are black so a blue one would be dope
Read thru comments to see if anyone else had volume issues when using both xbox and bluetooth wireless connections. I like using discord on my iphone for voice chat while gaming with friends and whenever i do this with this headset the game audio decreases and prioritizes bluetooth audio. With the previous version of this headset it was able to balance out whenever i pressed the “mode” button. The only con i have with this product so far.
Thank you again for your review. It made the decision easy. I have a PS5 and my gen 1 stealth 700 battery is dying. I walked into my local Game Stop to look at some games and I saw them put this on the back wall behind the counter. If I had not seen your video I would of not even known that it was for all systems the green Xbox color scheme I would of never looked at it. Sounds great, only thing I needed to do was move Wifi a bit away from my ps5 to keep from the audio from cutting out. Bluetooth connection is great.
Big fan Techne! Turtle Beach headset reminds me of my first time to turtle beach in Maui. Highly recommend it if you’ve never been, I got about 5 feet away swimming next to a giant turtle. Hope I catch you on the next one!
Ladies and gents. Came from a Artic Pro, Razer BlackShark V2 Pro, and a Epos H6Pro. The Blackshark V2 Pro was 9/10. Same goes for Steelseries. EPOS with the dac. The sound of the headset i very low. I returned them after 2 weeks. This headset, REMEMBER TO UPDATE THE HEADSET. but i promise you all. Its fantastic. It has everything. It will blow you away.
I’m on my way to by the stealth 600 gen 2 and these and see which ones I like the best . I had the stealth 600 gen 1 and they were amazing and I still am using them . They are super convenient and the sound is amazing .
I have the normal 700 Gen2s for my Series X and have been nothing hot garbage. Constant drops, crackling, random shut offs, audio fluctuations, etc. I did a hard reset and firmware update etc. I've had TB headsets in the last and no issues.
So I have both the original stealth 700 and the steel series 9x, the drops Microsoft owned up to it being mostly on their end for the bluetooth. It is a lot better now though. The nice thing about the 709Max is it can use the the dongle. That should be much more reliable.
@@ryanspartan7853 so I have to go buy another headset just for a dongle that works with my series X? That's kinda bs in my book. It's not like these 700s were cheap.
@@hookahguru have you tried lately? I have been having better luck, but admittedly I haven't been using my wireless ones on my Xbox that much recently. I definitely agree with you though. Now my 700 gen2s had the drops and occasional crackling, not the shutoff or audio fluctuations so it could have been your headset for sure. Good luck, hope you find something that works.
@@ryanspartan7853 literally tried to play a few rounds of Halo Infinite. Unplayable. Complete drop of all audio but still connected to my Series X. Had to reboot them mid game a few times. Thank you for following up. I'm gonna just throw them in the trash and cut my losses. Sorry for venting. I just ordered a pair of Steel Series Arctis 9X.
I have turtle beach stealth 700 gen 2. Is this newer version worth upgrading? Do the newer ones have the same clamp force has the original or are they better? Great review had always.
Same clamp force, but the only difference is if I twisted the stealth 700 gen 2, the swivel would break instantly. He manhandled the hell out of the Gen 2 max. Nothing broke. The Gen 2 max is much more durable and has longer battery. That's the only 2 differences from its previous version. Aside from it needing a dongle to work.
I had a lot of issues and figured out it was just the usb key thing so I order a brand new one for like 30 bucks and now it works perfect and haven’t had a single issue, so I hated it initially but now love it
There once was a turtle just Vibin to tunes on a beach, catching some rays. When a long came a pirate form around the bay. The pirate but I brought some rum and they just had a good all-time Parting on the beach 🏝.
If this had a wired version, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. My Turtle Beach X04 headset from 2015 just broke (ear cup's plastic swivel bit busted) and now I need a replacement, but I crave that fun turtle beach style sound I've grown so used to over the past decade. I refuse to buy wireless headsets (latency issues, charging burden, lack of longevity) and turtle beach's wired options right now are not very good. I'm forced to try other brands or just wait it out and hope my X03's from 2019 last me longer lol
@@Andreas-gy3pf I stopped looking at gaming headsets and instead delved into proper headphones. In pursuit of a closed-back solution that wouldn't break the bank, I landed on the Audio Technica ATH-M50x. I had to buy a separate mic attachment and alternate ear cups. Around $200 total, but I really couldn't find any other cheaper solution that wouldn't just be more "making do".
I have the standard Stealth 700 Gen 2s for my PS5. Love them! Great sound, crystal clear mic, super comfortable for long gaming sessions and excellent battery life. And for reference, when I was shopping for new headsets, I tried the Astro A50s & Steelseries Arctis Pros. Both sounded amazing, but both got hot on my ears and the mic quality was terrible. At least that is what my friends would tell me. Swapped to the 700 Gen 2s and all those issues were taken care of. And for half the price! So I can't complain with my purchase. I was super curious about these new ones, so thanks for the review!
@@lttlejordan23What did you think of using it in FPS? Can you hear the steps well? Or is it really hard to hear when there's a lot going on, as stated in the video??
6:00 Thank you so much. You solved an issue I was having with pairing all devices at the same time. I thought I needed the dongle in order to use it on pc because it wasn't connecting via Bluetooth. I'm a streamer and I need the Xbox and PC audio working at the same time. Turns out I just needed to hold down the button until I heard "Bluetooth pairing" for pc. Now I just use the dongle for Xbox and Bluetooth for PC.
Hello I tried doing the same thing but when I have my Xbox and pc audio connected at the same time, when I join a discord call or a Xbox gamebar party the audio looses quality, it sounds like headphones from the early 90s
Waiting on my audeze penrose to come back from a warranty replacement! They replaced my headset no questions asked just had to ship my original set in before they would mail it. Had a terrible crinkling sound form out of no where in my original penroses!
The plastic on top of the earpiece is weak and cracked on my 700 Gen 2. Same problem with my stealth 600. The headset lasted about a year before the plastic above the earpiece broke and won't stay on my head without falling apart. I was never harsh or rough with my headset, never dropped or torture tested it. I don't think I'll buy another turtle beach headset again. I had stealth 600, stealth 700 and stealth 700 gen 2. They aren't durable enough.
I've noticed my noggin is a bit on the larger side when it comes to these Turtle Beach headsets. I have found that after doing about 10 stretch out sessions, they're a much better fit. You sort of have to "break them in", huge difference. Hope this helps all my big dome brothers. 🙏
HI I think you're the best person I've ever seen on UA-cam review Explain in detail what is necessary to give the thing its due about headset, and I've been following you for a while. As for Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 I think its best headset ever .. The discreet design is very sleek and its MAXIMUM GAME TIME - Incredible, 40+ hour battery lets you play for weeks with Bluetooth compatibility and Superhuman Hearing can easily be toggled on and off with a simple tap of the Mode button on the headset, meaning you can activate it as and when needed. like a premium product I hope I have it. Thanks .......
Could you still happily recommend this headset in 2023? I've been looking for a while and this seems to have every feature I want. However it's currently around £175 which takes it close to a lot of headsets in the £200 range that might potentially be better. Or if you could recommend one of your videos to watch that you believe would be appropriate I'd appreciate it :D
Here's a story of a turtle named Butch who lived on the beach. He hated living there as sand always got everywhere all the time including his eyes. Then one day he had explained to his parents that he was set on a journey to live in the swamps of Louisiana. Little did Butch know the roads in Louisiana were terrible and settled for Mississippi.
One time a turtle was on the beach, and he heard a crunch under his foot. He realized he stepped on his own eggs! This story was made up by my son who will get the headset if we win. He is finally old enough to game with, won our first fortnite duos match together! So much fun!
A turtle woke up on the sand. Then boom. Lots of birds ready to eat. The turtles went back into their shells to use as armor. They all charge and all made it into the ocean
Weird thing I'm seeing. Not only does the headset volume knob NOT control the system volume slider, but the system volume also does not control headset volume. Sometimes you see the latter, headset knob might not control system volume. In that case, you can set the headset to max volume then control levels through your keyboard. I've never seen both though. So the ONLY way to change volume is to take your left hand off the keyboard and manually roll the knob. Super inconvenient while gaming. Weird decision on their end. Unless I'm missing something.
So I just got this headset and I can’t adjust the volume from the nobs on the side. It is so loud right now and will be impossible to play so I’m not the only one that is having that problem?
I have heard that this product has a Bluetooth connectivity, in concrete, you cannot pick up an incoming call even you press the appropriate button (bluetooth button) for a short time. Please do not hide the problem.
My Steel series Arctis pro wireless broke on me the other day. Bought these as a replacement headset and they’re excellent. Really made me question the £320 price point of the steel series headset!
I fully agree that the superhuman hearing does pull out way too much highs and you lose alot of that midrange in the drivers, having that off with just the turtle beach signature sound preset is perfection to my ears 🤌🎧
Steve was just a regular turtle 🐢 on the beach doing his his turtle thing, until one day Steve noticed a group of people with a turtle and he wasn’t just any turtle he was head nodding chain wearing snapping turtle. Steve was impressed by what he saw. Steve had to get closer, he had to meet this turtle but he was to nervous to try. It’s so many people on the beach so he decided to go about his business. But then Steve a deep voice say “hey what’s good homie” ? Steve looked and noticed it was the turtle he wanted to meet. He said hi my name is Steve, what’s your name? The other turtle said yo I’m Snizzle Snap, you know where I can find some seaweed? Steve took Snizzle to the seaweed. Snizzle liked Steve, he asked Steve would you like to roll with me and my homies back to the crib? Steve instantly said yes. They went back to the beach where Snizzle people were ate some seaweed, nodded their heads to some music and before they the beach Steve got his very own chain. The End!!!!
I bought one in January and it’s bricked. When I got to the turtle beach website I found that they brick themselves and there’s a tool to reprogram them. The problem… the tool is not for the MAX version!!!
When I woke up in the morning, the sun was shining again. I looked around me, wondering where I was. And then I remembered. I was a baby turtle in the middle of a big blue world, which I had heard someone call the ocean. There was blue and green water in every direction, and the sunlight was playing games with the clouds. I tucked my flippers beneath my body and floated for a while, letting the current carry me. I did not know where I was. But that does not matter when the sun is shining and your stomach is full. The sun warmed me, and filled me with new energy and I started swimming. It was a long journey, by no means easy, but I kept pushing forward. I finally caught a glimpse of land and I immediately swam towards it. I reached the island as happy as a turtle can be. The End
Once there was a turtle named Diego. As Diego hatched with his siblings on a sunny beach in California they were instantly attacked by ravenous seagulls. Unfortunately for the seagulls, Diego was a descendant of a ninja turtle. Needless to say, all the turtles made it off the beach that morning.
I was subscribed to you for quite awhile, but somehow I noticed that I was unsubscribed.... Don't know what happened there.. also, nice review. I don't have any knowledge or experience with much headphones, as I've only had two pairs within the last 12-13 years, both which are now broke. It would be great to receive a new pair of headphones, since I have been using my brothers old Audio Technica ATH-A700X..... As for a Turtle story, I have none that I can make up on the fly, but do have a sad one from ages ago when my dad was mowing, slipped in a ditch and was caught under the push mower...... Don't worry, he is fine, as there was a Turtle that saved my dads foot, but in that moment the turtle didn't make it.. Sad I know, but thankful that God was there with us. Anyways, I hope you have a great week and as always. Take Care & God Bless.
Hi 👋 I loved your Reviews because you are simply the BEST 👌... I'm in between the Astro A50 and the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 MAX right now for my Xbox One X ( Not Series X )... which one should I get ??? Please... and is there Any other Wireless Headset apart the Turtle Beach ones that uses and Android App to adjust the EQs like the Turtle 🐢 Beach ⛱️ app ??? Please answer me as fast as you can as I'm in the Game Shop 🎮 right now 😆
Battery life is the thing that it's most important to buy this headset. Multi platform connectivity is a great feature as well. I'm personally little bit confused why there is no direct paring mode with Xbox console (like standart 700 gen 2) and using a dongle with the other devices. And going forward what is gonna happend when you lose the dongle? Is there an any option that you can buy it separately? Great review. 👍Thanks for that.
How are you losing the dongle though? It's kept in your console or pulled out and put in another console. Pretty odd thing to worry about unless you weren't using it but at that point why even buy it?
I have this headset and to keep it simple these are the heaviest headset i have every owned and the left swivel piece has an issue with cracking and breaking thats i have seen across a few pairs i have had even do i am beyond careful with the headset which kinda sucks but the sounds isnt to bad i can hear people moving around when playing and the mic is actually not bad at all i find it pretty clear.
SO I nicked myself shaving, and totally forgot to remove my classic tissue bandage, lol. So I said instead of filming again, lets be human and roll with this ;)
Like a pro. Rollin with the punches.
Ah you can try to fit in but we all know humans don't have this kind of energy 👽
No lie, I thought the thumbnail image was the tiny new “stealth” headset now I’m laughin - initial reaction was DAYUM TECH HAS COME A LONG WAY lol
love it
A human making videos for humans. We appreciate that. Let's leave that shiny spotless lifeless deliveries for the marketing departments - here we are talking about the real deal. Thank you, sir.
Finally a wireless headset that works with all platforms, It seems like most companies make headsets that are either good for one console and pc or just one of them. I'll probably pick these up, I love the color.
What I like about this guy, is how spontaneous he is, he fully expresses himself and goes all out to give us the best description he can provide to us. Really good job, thanks for those funny and yet detailed videos.
A clown. No tech reviewer. Great.😒
This is damn near the cleanest, in depth review I’ve seen in a min. Thanks🤟🏽
I had a stealth 600 which has the plastic band for the length adjustment. After over a year of using them I went to put my headphones on and bent that plastic extension just a bit too much and it snapped right off. Safe to say, the metal bands on the 700 are much better and I can be sure I won’t snap them in half 😅
Yeah same here! It literally happened to me 2 days ago, just ordered these today because I like the sound from the 600s, figured I'd watch a video to see if the 700 was built better. Good to see the headband is metal
The plastic below the metal STILL BREAKS!!!@@dr.rexbutts2986
exact same thing happened to me. Im afraid to get another pair of wireless turtle beaches because of it.
While I was deployed with the army, we saw sea turtles on a beach. Turtles, on a beach. Turtle on beach. Turtle beach. You rock Techne, everyone’s cool nerd uncle!
First and foremost, I love the effort and quality you put into these videos. I'm always heading to you whenever it comes to headset or gaming accessory reviews! I bought the Audio Technica ATH-M50x because of you, actually! Keep up the great work, Techne. Your work is much much appreciated.
This lonely turtle was basking in the sun when a sudden strong wave collided against its shell. Shocked, it twirled its head around to get a bearing of its surroundings. After a few seconds of doing so, it was met with another turtle with the same level of curiosity. They began swimming and coming back to the same spot on the beach every day, growing their long lasting friendship. Not long after, more and more turtles showed up and thus a community and family was created.
Are you high? that last bit makes you sound stoned haha no offence
@@sirpuffcelot yea that was mad annoying at the end.
This looks like the headset for me. Only one problem. Maybe two. 1) I keep hearing about how bad the connectivity is with the headset losing connection to the dongle if you simply turn your head left or walk a few feet away from the console. This is obviously a deal breaker for ANY headset. and 2) These (or actually all) Turtle Beach headphones look and feel so cheaply made. I've heard people tell me after 6 months they'll accidentally break them just from normal use.
And 3, did they discontinue the blue headset for xbox?? I can't find it anywhere!!
Best Buy has the blue Version for Xbox
Thank you so much for putting out detailed, amazing reviews. I am looking to build a PC, and finding the peripherals for it. Your enthusiasm always makes my day. Keep up the amazing work!
Story time!
Once upon a time there was a lonely turtle. He wandered the beach alone, looking for a mate. That is until he found the love of his life, the Stealth 700 Gen 2. He loved this headset with the love of a child, for it had so much versatility. He was able to use it with his prized nintendo switch and his beloved PC. It was love at first sight with the beautiful, intricate design, and deep blue color of the dark sea. All the other turtles bowed down to him, as he had in his possession the beautiful, stunning, versatile, and Technie-approved...Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2.
THE END
Aaah...casual story tellers... I see. So you peeps aren't high?
Mike the turtle was born and raised in West Philadelphia. On the playground is where he spent most of his days. Chillin out, maxin, relaxin all cool and shooting some b-ball outside of the school. When a couple of guys who were up to no good started making trouble in his neighborhood. He got in one little fight and his momma got scared, she said “you’re moving with your auntie and uncle to Turtle Beach”.
He whistled for a cab and when it came near the license said Fresh and a dice in the mirror. If anything he could say that that cab was rare, but he thought “nah, forget it”, and said “Yo holmes to Turtle Beach”.
He pulled up to the house about 7 or 8pm and yelled to the cab “Yo holmes smell ya later”.
Looked at his kingdom he was finally there.
To sit on his throne as the prince of Turtle Beach.
I got my pair Saturday and man these things blew me away immediately, from the looks of it, to the feel, to the weight, to the amazing immersive sound quality... 10/10 in my book and I've had plenty of different headsets over the years and none of them impressed me like these do
Have u used the steelseries arctis nova pro wired or wireless, do u still think these are better?
@@soulja617 my brother got the Steelseries artic 7x and it had mic monitoring and could not shut off and it was annoying to hear the slightest noise non stop and the mic picked up everything but sound wise it was pretty good. I had the hyper x cloud wireless and I loved it but I recently accidentally broke I and I'm looking forward to buy these
I had the Stealth 700 Gen 2 Xbox for a year and a half, upgraded to this! Double battery life and multiplatform compatibility was worth it!
How's the range? I saw some complaints on Amazon about how the sound would keep cutting out if you were more than 2 feet away.
@@th3Phenomenon I got these for about 3 months and I can say they are amazing the only 2 main issues I have is that when I turn them on they make the power up sound but turn off again or sometimes when I power them up all game volume is very faint even though volume is all the way up you just have to turn off and on again then they will start working this happens almost everyday I need to power them up and off about 3 times but at the same time they need an update which i cant do because you need a computer but distance wise I've walked to my kitchen and they seem to cut out i always blame it on being around a bunch of other electronics but other places like my living room to my front door they are fine I say you can go around 15 to 20ft with out disconnecting. I've let my cousin use them and he's very competitive and he liked them as do I you can hear footsteps very clearly with or without super hearing. In all its very comfortable and overall a great headset.
Love your vids man.... I purchased one of these last week... I love it... the price came down and it's great... been a corded headset user for over 40 years....
This headset has so many issues. Sometime last it struggles to connect to the transmitter. Sometimes it plays static. Other times the mic won’t work unless you turn it off and on again, but if you do that there is a chance you run into one of the other issues. If the headset didn’t have many devastating issues, this could’ve been one of the best headsets out there.
One just randomly stopped working for me gad to get another. Now none of my setting from the app save and the wheels never work right. Hate it.
Wish THESE (your) comments were the FIRST for all to see here! The Turtle Beach products are TOTAL SH•T!!! And don't EVEN try to get "Support!"@@MaNtIcHoRaOfficial
I just got these exact headphones and so far am really impressed so far. I lo ve the energy he puts into these reviews.
Hopefully you can answer pretty quickly as I’m about to buy these soon. But when you’re in a party with friends do they echo? I just bought some steel series 7x and they echo like crazy. So bad I’m buying a new headset not even a month later. Never had an issue with older steel series until these but just wanna make sure before i buy these ones that there’s no echo.
@2002aidan1 I too bought 7x arctics and there is a slight echo. When i would speak i could hear myself through my own headset. I thought it was my duos headset.
Great review as always! Thanks for that. 👍
Can you please make comparison 700 Gen 2 max with a standard 700 Gen 2?
It'll be great to see the differences.
I need the video of the comparison as well! No one gives as good of a reviews as this man right here 😭
There once was a turtle named Dr. Pepper who lived on a beach.
Thank you for joining my TED Talk.
FROM SOMEONE THAT HAD THESE: If you want headset that PINPOINTS footsteps whether it be up in down ina staircase building or just left right behind front while ur running. This headset kinda falls behind in that aspect. But the sound of guns and environments seem to be its focus since all of that sounds AMAZING. But if ur a competitive gamer like me return these and get the new Arctis nova pro wireless. Those are purely for footsteps and are more comfortable
i actually just returned my nova pro wireless. they were uncomfortable and my ears began to hurt 10 minutes into using them. i cant deny the audio quality on those were great.
What’s other good headsets that have pinpoint footsteps that are not as expensive as the nova pros
@@ethanwilson1795 just got nova 7s amazing and comfortable
very comprehensive and solid review. Great points and energy ;-D. Will definitely think about picking it up and hopefully it works out for the long term as well!
Perfect review and analysis of the headset. Really appreciate the in depth explanation of all the settings and features as well as the sound.
Tony the Turtle lived on a beach. He’s best friend was Timmy. They played games together wearing their Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 MAX and loved every minute of it.
I bought a pair directly from Turtle Beach and I mentioned your UA-cam channel when they asked how I heard about them. Great video.
There once one a turtle on the beach named princess. The beach was so stinkin cozy but she decided to subscribe to the techne and turtle beach to follow all his awesome reviews to know how to continue to stay stinkin cozy.
I remember I preordered this headset for my Xbox. I still use it, and I will give you my opinion.
So, I never use it for my computer, phone, PS4, etc. When I turn my headset on, sometimes it pairs normally, sometimes it pairs but the volume will be much lower than normal, and sometimes it will say it paired but there’s no volume at all. Take that with a grain of salt though, because I use it on a USB hub with 2.0 speed. Whenever I used it on a usb directly to the Xbox, from what I remember, this didn’t happen. There’s something else I can’t remember if it happened without the usb hub (meaning before i switched it to the hub) but I don’t think it did. My headset often has very out of the way static. It’s not loud, it’s not in the way, it’s just there.
Finally, the signal strength between the receiver and the headset is a bit weird. Sometimes, if I cover the right ear cup with my hand, the audio becomes very choppy. Sometimes, the same thing will happen with the left ear cup. Most of the time though, I can go into the other room without it disconnecting.
As for everything else, the headset is perfect. I had bought this headset to replace my old Stealth 600 gen 1, and I love it. I find it to be better for comp games, but whatever. Also, the batt. life on this thing is amazing. I can go multiple days of gaming without recharging.
8/10, would buy again. Not the best headset possible, but it is amazing regardless.
So what was missed in the review for those on PC, Windows volume control does not control this headset rendering the KB multimedia volume controls or if you bind volume to extra mouse buttons etc useless (widely complained about in forums). Now it does work if you use BlueTooth but then BT has all sorts of odd issues with apps like MS Teams with the mic. I have just given up on this headset and purchased another pair of HyperX Cloud Flights, they just freaken work on PC without these annoying issues, also more comfortable, slightly better sound imho and cheaper. This Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max is the worst purchase I have made of the last 5 years.
I love your video, thanks a ton bro. I appreciated the fact you let us in on your audio hub suggestions!
Turtle Story, one time me my family and other friends went camping, and we saw a turtle on the beach.
You’ve got my subscription I appreciate the headband tests other reviewer’s aren’t doing that lol.
once a turtle named mateo found a nice island to rest at while on his journey across the ocean. he decided to look for a spot he deemed fit for his evening to wind down and relax. He found a nice spot on the beach, it wasn’t quite right, he moved to the grass further up the beach, still wasn’t quite right in his eyes. But then, he sees the perfect spot on top of a hill overlooking the beach. He makes his way up there, once he arrives, he finds the perfect spot and finally decides to settle here. The bottom of this shell hits the cool grass and he feels the nice,cool,breezy night and he yells….”STINKIN’ COZY!” And Mateo lived happily ever after, the end.
I know exactly what you mean with regards to hearing while playing competitive, I think the sounds are muffled and you haven’t a clue when the foot steps are coming from.
That blue looks awesome, thanks for this review as always very informative.
Once i saw a little turtle that was rushing in the opposite direction of the sea, all he need it was a little 180 turn and he made it to the sea.
I just bought these and tried using them for my iPad because I play games on it but when I connected to Bluetooth, although I got the voice prompt, “connected” there’s absolutely no sound coming from my headphones other than the beeping when I max out the volume for the mic… What’s the deal? Are these headphones no longer compatible with mobile devices?
My question is why did they require you to use a transmitter for Xbox with the max but in the regular 700 gen 2 you don’t need one.
Just subbed. This was my first video and I love the energy and in depth analysis! I’m buying this headset because of you 😂 also love the human moment of keeping the tissue in the video😂
I was looking at this video while on vacation on a beach in Miami and a Turtle came by and seen I was stinky Cozy on my beach chair. As he was walking by very slowly, I pulled out my phone, went online and pre ordered TMNT The Cowabunga Collection for Ps5!! 🤣🤣!!
lol
Just purchased it today, waiting for best buy to have it ready for pick up. I am looking forward to it.
Baby turtles getting back to the water is too funny but cool at the same time. It’s like dang why you do ur babies like that lol
Headset broke after a year. Same way as the gen 2 headset. (The sliding piece.
Sounds like a skill issue..
Thank you Techne excellent review 👏🏿👏🏽👏🏻 My wife & I got married in Hawaii, a small ceremony on the beach. A turtle swam into the cove & up to the beach during our ceremony.
hold up is this a true story?
@@TheTechne Yes. And 2 days later we went paddle boarding & a turtle swam w/us for 5 mins
Hey awesome review i had the previous version of these and absolutely loved them. The epic tail of turtle surviving the beach, story starts back in 1942 the tides were strong but the turtles were stronger, our brave heroes swam to shore to find find and the dreaded seagulls were already there... long story short there was less of us than there was of them.
wtf?
Dude love the energy and the ghost in the background, would love to play some destiny with someone like you chief
Assuming these are tuned exactly like the original 700 Gen 2's, I'd slightly disagree on the competitive aspect. Run that Vocal Boost setting and, in my opinion, the footsteps are super easy to pick out. Also I know the superhuman hearing thing isn't big for a lot of people, but with that slider you can mix it in just slightly and I think they really shine that way. I use the original gen 2 version all the time in Hunt Showdown where sound position is absolutely imperative and I think they're EXTREMELY well done for that. But it's all personal preference in the end!
With that said I have these pre-ordered as an upgrade. I have multiple headsets for different systems, but I love the 700 Gen 2's so much I want the option to use them everywhere. I can't wait to get these.
true that will pull out much more highs, also super human hearing, but they both will remove any fun, or emersion from the headset. It will sound like a tin can
@@TheTechne Absolutely true. I use it sparingly (I think I have the slider set at 30%) if I'm hiding and know I'm being hunted to try and get an edge on the other player(s), at that point I'm just trying to survive and the immersion part is secondary. COMPLETELY personal preference and you're not wrong! 🙂
All you need is the Xbox wireless adapter to use it anywhere. I use my 700 gen 2 on pc. Have had them for years since moving from Xbox to PC.
@@tyhank453 I'm going between Series X and PS5. Unfortunately the Xbox adaptor won't work on that.
@@infernaltim ah I gotcha.
I’m so excited to get a pair of these! Your opinion and rants lol we’re very helpful in my decision😂It’s so sick you can have your phone connect while playing. I’m always on the phone or listening to music so this will help and plus my roommate won’t get annoyed anymore😂Thank ya so much man. Love your vids! Always positive vibes💯
How’s it? Is it comfortable for long hours?
I bought his headset because of this review but wish I hadn’t. The audio constantly crackles and cuts out and sometimes you just get no audio at all. It is extremely frustrating. Had them about 2 weeks now and gonna have to take them back. They are a great headset when they actually work but most gaming sessions I’m getting crackles and pops for about 40 seconds every 20 minutes or so and it’s just hella frustrating. Especially in games like COD or immersive RPGS.
I usually don't prefer the look of Turtle Beach headset, but man that gold & dark blue colour combination is really good
You have to sacrifice immersion for a competitive sound. You can have both but at that point your only having okay imerrsive sound and just okay competitive hearing. But the great thing about superhuman hearing mode is at 75% or full 100% SHM, youll have all the competive hearing you need. Yes it wont be immersive but you have to sacrifice that for that edge. I remember having a pair of Turtle Beach 420x back in the day and using them for Ark or CoD and being able to pinpoint people with sound before i ever saw them. Couldnt do that as good on my Artics 7x but i still loved the immersive sound those had and how super comfortable that ski band design is. My 7xs broke after years of use so im finally going back to Turtle Beach with these bad boys!
How you liking these?
@@virginiaradford5140 I actually lied to myself and didn't go back to Turtle Beach. Instead I bought a pair of Arctis Nova 7x and kinda regretted it. They are awesome, comfortable too. But compared to my Arctis 7x, they don't match up. The full ski band design was a lot more comfortable. Sound wise they were practically the same. The Bluetooth feature I got these for, I never even use. Though if I had to rebuy again I'd go with the Turtle Beach 700 gen 2 cause I'm curious. My brother just bought a pair so I'll go over to his place and try them out when they come in.
This headset is BY FAR the best one in the industry. And barely anyone reviews it. The Bluetooth mix allows me use PS5 and Discord from my phone at the same time. It’s very unique and nobody talks about it.
One thing to bare in mind with this headset is that the volume control on it DOES NOT work with windows. The volume is simply on or off. You can go into the windows mixer and lower the volume for each individual program but you can't adjust the main windows volume with the headset at all.
This would be the perfect headset for my daughter who has her new gaming laptop coming and plays XBox and Switch games now. And she’s a turtle! J/K, she’s a Tuttle. But I do know a story about a turtle…
There was once a daddy turtle who took his family to the beach. He was really excited to relax on the sand just for five minutes of rest. But when they got there he had to get his baby turtles’ toys out for them. Then he had to bring them down to play in the waves. Then he went with them to look at the beach grass because it was so tall. Then they all searched for seashells, had lunch, cleaned up, swam for a bit, made sandcastles, and had a great time. As they were getting ready to go, one of the baby turtles said “dad, you forgot to relax for five minutes! It’s the only thing you wanted to do!” And the daddy turtle smiled at his kids and said “yeah, I think I found some better things to do here though. Maybe some other time I’ll relax. When there aren’t so many great experiences I’d never want to miss.”
And thanks for all the great reviews. Anyone who didn’t believe how raw and honest your reviews are should watch this one. Wouldn’t re-record with the shaving bandaid off (we’ve all been there, I feel ya!) because you can’t recreate such a real and honest flow of thought. I dig it and appreciate you.
Thank you thank you thank you, I’ve been trying to get Bluetooth to connect to my phone for the last 3 hours. You told me exactly what to do to fix the problem. Great video
When I was in Hawaii there were a bunch of turtles chilling on the lava rock. It was hard to see them at first but very cool since they were so big and there were so many!
I have the original 700 gen 2 from ur recommendation. Actually those n my Corsair hs80 are from urs as well. Dude I recommend u all the time man. Dope content I like ur energy. I do like the original but I feel u on the footsteps part. It’s weird. I play a lot of destiny 2 n it’s much better with the Corsair headset when I’m in PvP. I will upgrade to these tho. I love the function n sound. Lol I use ur eq settings too. I like the blue tho. All my headsets are black so a blue one would be dope
thank you so much for all the support man !
Great vid. Thanks. I'm picking mine up before I leave work.
Just grabbed one on sale at Best Buy should be here in 4 days
Read thru comments to see if anyone else had volume issues when using both xbox and bluetooth wireless connections. I like using discord on my iphone for voice chat while gaming with friends and whenever i do this with this headset the game audio decreases and prioritizes bluetooth audio. With the previous version of this headset it was able to balance out whenever i pressed the “mode” button. The only con i have with this product so far.
Thank you again for your review. It made the decision easy. I have a PS5 and my gen 1 stealth 700 battery is dying. I walked into my local Game Stop to look at some games and I saw them put this on the back wall behind the counter. If I had not seen your video I would of not even known that it was for all systems the green Xbox color scheme I would of never looked at it. Sounds great, only thing I needed to do was move Wifi a bit away from my ps5 to keep from the audio from cutting out. Bluetooth connection is great.
Audio cuts out because of wifi??
Big fan Techne! Turtle Beach headset reminds me of my first time to turtle beach in Maui. Highly recommend it if you’ve never been, I got about 5 feet away swimming next to a giant turtle. Hope I catch you on the next one!
I love how this guy expresses himself 😅 love it ! I know what you mean Techne😊
"LETS GO!!" said the Turtle as he rushed through the sand heading to the water. 45 minutes later he made it.
Ladies and gents. Came from a Artic Pro, Razer BlackShark V2 Pro, and a Epos H6Pro. The Blackshark V2 Pro was 9/10. Same goes for Steelseries. EPOS with the dac. The sound of the headset i very low. I returned them after 2 weeks.
This headset, REMEMBER TO UPDATE THE HEADSET. but i promise you all. Its fantastic. It has everything. It will blow you away.
I’m on my way to by the stealth 600 gen 2 and these and see which ones I like the best . I had the stealth 600 gen 1 and they were amazing and I still am using them .
They are super convenient and the sound is amazing .
I have the normal 700 Gen2s for my Series X and have been nothing hot garbage. Constant drops, crackling, random shut offs, audio fluctuations, etc. I did a hard reset and firmware update etc. I've had TB headsets in the last and no issues.
So I have both the original stealth 700 and the steel series 9x, the drops Microsoft owned up to it being mostly on their end for the bluetooth. It is a lot better now though. The nice thing about the 709Max is it can use the the dongle. That should be much more reliable.
@@ryanspartan7853 so I have to go buy another headset just for a dongle that works with my series X? That's kinda bs in my book. It's not like these 700s were cheap.
@@hookahguru have you tried lately? I have been having better luck, but admittedly I haven't been using my wireless ones on my Xbox that much recently. I definitely agree with you though. Now my 700 gen2s had the drops and occasional crackling, not the shutoff or audio fluctuations so it could have been your headset for sure. Good luck, hope you find something that works.
@@ryanspartan7853 literally tried to play a few rounds of Halo Infinite. Unplayable. Complete drop of all audio but still connected to my Series X. Had to reboot them mid game a few times. Thank you for following up. I'm gonna just throw them in the trash and cut my losses. Sorry for venting. I just ordered a pair of Steel Series Arctis 9X.
@@hookahguru all good, hope they work out better
I have turtle beach stealth 700 gen 2. Is this newer version worth upgrading? Do the newer ones have the same clamp force has the original or are they better? Great review had always.
Same clamp force, but the only difference is if I twisted the stealth 700 gen 2, the swivel would break instantly. He manhandled the hell out of the Gen 2 max. Nothing broke. The Gen 2 max is much more durable and has longer battery. That's the only 2 differences from its previous version. Aside from it needing a dongle to work.
Love Turtle Beach, have the 700 Gen 2 but for the Xbox, love that these are for everything!
I had a lot of issues and figured out it was just the usb key thing so I order a brand new one for like 30 bucks and now it works perfect and haven’t had a single issue, so I hated it initially but now love it
There once was a turtle just Vibin to tunes on a beach, catching some rays. When a long came a pirate form around the bay. The pirate but I brought some rum and they just had a good all-time Parting on the beach 🏝.
Same exact color I have pre-ordered. Looks incredible in the video
If this had a wired version, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. My Turtle Beach X04 headset from 2015 just broke (ear cup's plastic swivel bit busted) and now I need a replacement, but I crave that fun turtle beach style sound I've grown so used to over the past decade. I refuse to buy wireless headsets (latency issues, charging burden, lack of longevity) and turtle beach's wired options right now are not very good. I'm forced to try other brands or just wait it out and hope my X03's from 2019 last me longer lol
With which one do you end up?
@@Andreas-gy3pf I stopped looking at gaming headsets and instead delved into proper headphones. In pursuit of a closed-back solution that wouldn't break the bank, I landed on the Audio Technica ATH-M50x. I had to buy a separate mic attachment and alternate ear cups. Around $200 total, but I really couldn't find any other cheaper solution that wouldn't just be more "making do".
So technically this is the same as stealth 700 Gen 2 but just with the added function of compatibility between all consoles?
And they have doubled the battery life from 20hrs to 40. Surprised Techne didn’t mention this!
I have the standard Stealth 700 Gen 2s for my PS5. Love them! Great sound, crystal clear mic, super comfortable for long gaming sessions and excellent battery life. And for reference, when I was shopping for new headsets, I tried the Astro A50s & Steelseries Arctis Pros. Both sounded amazing, but both got hot on my ears and the mic quality was terrible. At least that is what my friends would tell me. Swapped to the 700 Gen 2s and all those issues were taken care of. And for half the price! So I can't complain with my purchase. I was super curious about these new ones, so thanks for the review!
did you have the wirleess version of the arctis pros?
I agree tried Astro A50 and preferred the TB 700 G2
@@interns_4774 Yes, I had the wireless.
@@lttlejordan23What did you think of using it in FPS? Can you hear the steps well? Or is it really hard to hear when there's a lot going on, as stated in the video??
Once there was turtle on the beach, it rocked great headsets every day and lived happily ever after, the end.
6:00 Thank you so much. You solved an issue I was having with pairing all devices at the same time. I thought I needed the dongle in order to use it on pc because it wasn't connecting via Bluetooth. I'm a streamer and I need the Xbox and PC audio working at the same time. Turns out I just needed to hold down the button until I heard "Bluetooth pairing" for pc. Now I just use the dongle for Xbox and Bluetooth for PC.
Hello I tried doing the same thing but when I have my Xbox and pc audio connected at the same time, when I join a discord call or a Xbox gamebar party the audio looses quality, it sounds like headphones from the early 90s
Any ideas?
Thanks for the comment! Wasn't sure if you could do both xbox and pc same time!
Been waiting for this review from you 🙏
Waiting on my audeze penrose to come back from a warranty replacement! They replaced my headset no questions asked just had to ship my original set in before they would mail it. Had a terrible crinkling sound form out of no where in my original penroses!
lol $300 headsets btw
The plastic on top of the earpiece is weak and cracked on my 700 Gen 2. Same problem with my stealth 600. The headset lasted about a year before the plastic above the earpiece broke and won't stay on my head without falling apart. I was never harsh or rough with my headset, never dropped or torture tested it. I don't think I'll buy another turtle beach headset again. I had stealth 600, stealth 700 and stealth 700 gen 2. They aren't durable enough.
I've noticed my noggin is a bit on the larger side when it comes to these Turtle Beach headsets. I have found that after doing about 10 stretch out sessions, they're a much better fit. You sort of have to "break them in", huge difference. Hope this helps all my big dome brothers. 🙏
HI I think you're the best person I've ever seen on UA-cam review Explain in detail what is necessary to give the thing its due about headset, and I've been following you for a while. As for Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 I think its best headset ever .. The discreet design is very sleek and its MAXIMUM GAME TIME - Incredible, 40+ hour battery lets you play for weeks with Bluetooth compatibility and Superhuman Hearing can easily be toggled on and off with a simple tap of the Mode button on the headset, meaning you can activate it as and when needed. like a premium product I hope I have it. Thanks .......
Thanks I appreciate you 😀😀😀😀😀
You are welcome 😊
Could you still happily recommend this headset in 2023? I've been looking for a while and this seems to have every feature I want. However it's currently around £175 which takes it close to a lot of headsets in the £200 range that might potentially be better. Or if you could recommend one of your videos to watch that you believe would be appropriate I'd appreciate it :D
Here's a story of a turtle named Butch who lived on the beach. He hated living there as sand always got everywhere all the time including his eyes. Then one day he had explained to his parents that he was set on a journey to live in the swamps of Louisiana. Little did Butch know the roads in Louisiana were terrible and settled for Mississippi.
wonderful slick shell,
Brown and golden, the color of a shell.
That perfect shaped shell.
The shell of my turtle i know too well.
One time a turtle was on the beach, and he heard a crunch under his foot. He realized he stepped on his own eggs!
This story was made up by my son who will get the headset if we win. He is finally old enough to game with, won our first fortnite duos match together! So much fun!
A turtle woke up on the sand. Then boom. Lots of birds ready to eat. The turtles went back into their shells to use as armor. They all charge and all made it into the ocean
Weird thing I'm seeing. Not only does the headset volume knob NOT control the system volume slider, but the system volume also does not control headset volume.
Sometimes you see the latter, headset knob might not control system volume. In that case, you can set the headset to max volume then control levels through your keyboard. I've never seen both though.
So the ONLY way to change volume is to take your left hand off the keyboard and manually roll the knob. Super inconvenient while gaming.
Weird decision on their end. Unless I'm missing something.
So I just got this headset and I can’t adjust the volume from the nobs on the side. It is so loud right now and will be impossible to play so I’m not the only one that is having that problem?
Just got one myself excited to try it out later
I have heard that this product has a Bluetooth connectivity, in concrete, you cannot pick up an incoming call even
you press the appropriate button (bluetooth button) for a short time. Please do not hide the problem.
My Steel series Arctis pro wireless broke on me the other day. Bought these as a replacement headset and they’re excellent. Really made me question the £320 price point of the steel series headset!
Absolutely unimpressed with my 9x. Just bought these as a replacement.
I fully agree that the superhuman hearing does pull out way too much highs and you lose alot of that midrange in the drivers, having that off with just the turtle beach signature sound preset is perfection to my ears 🤌🎧
Steve was just a regular turtle 🐢 on the beach doing his his turtle thing, until one day Steve noticed a group of people with a turtle and he wasn’t just any turtle he was head nodding chain wearing snapping turtle. Steve was impressed by what he saw. Steve had to get closer, he had to meet this turtle but he was to nervous to try. It’s so many people on the beach so he decided to go about his business. But then Steve a deep voice say “hey what’s good homie” ? Steve looked and noticed it was the turtle he wanted to meet. He said hi my name is Steve, what’s your name? The other turtle said yo I’m Snizzle Snap, you know where I can find some seaweed? Steve took Snizzle to the seaweed. Snizzle liked Steve, he asked Steve would you like to roll with me and my homies back to the crib? Steve instantly said yes. They went back to the beach where Snizzle people were ate some seaweed, nodded their heads to some music and before they the beach Steve got his very own chain. The End!!!!
My 200 was some of the best audio for cheap and my kittens choped the wire in half so i need an upgrade and this video just sold me on these 😍
I bought one in January and it’s bricked. When I got to the turtle beach website I found that they brick themselves and there’s a tool to reprogram them. The problem… the tool is not for the MAX version!!!
Stellar review. Thank you! Was hoping to hear your thoughts on this one.
So would u guys recommend this or the razer black shark v2 pro? Good video Techne! Keep up the great work!
When I woke up in the morning, the sun was shining again. I looked around me, wondering where I was. And then I remembered. I was a baby turtle in the middle of a big blue world, which I had heard someone call the ocean. There was blue and green water in every direction, and the sunlight was playing games with the clouds. I tucked my flippers beneath my body and floated for a while, letting the current carry me.
I did not know where I was. But that does not matter when the sun is shining and your stomach is full.
The sun warmed me, and filled me with new energy and I started swimming. It was a long journey, by no means easy, but I kept pushing forward. I finally caught a glimpse of land and I immediately swam towards it. I reached the island as happy as a turtle can be.
The End
Got mine yesterday...definitely love them.
Once there was a turtle named Diego. As Diego hatched with his siblings on a sunny beach in California they were instantly attacked by ravenous seagulls. Unfortunately for the seagulls, Diego was a descendant of a ninja turtle. Needless to say, all the turtles made it off the beach that morning.
I recently bought the solar power headphones. I can't wait to use them
I was subscribed to you for quite awhile, but somehow I noticed that I was unsubscribed.... Don't know what happened there.. also, nice review. I don't have any knowledge or experience with much headphones, as I've only had two pairs within the last 12-13 years, both which are now broke. It would be great to receive a new pair of headphones, since I have been using my brothers old Audio Technica ATH-A700X.....
As for a Turtle story, I have none that I can make up on the fly, but do have a sad one from ages ago when my dad was mowing, slipped in a ditch and was caught under the push mower...... Don't worry, he is fine, as there was a Turtle that saved my dads foot, but in that moment the turtle didn't make it.. Sad I know, but thankful that God was there with us.
Anyways, I hope you have a great week and as always. Take Care & God Bless.
Great video..I had a question tho..do you have to switch the usb to a different system every time you need to use the headset?
Hi 👋 I loved your Reviews because you are simply the BEST 👌... I'm in between the Astro A50 and the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 MAX right now for my Xbox One X ( Not Series X )... which one should I get ??? Please... and is there Any other Wireless Headset apart the Turtle Beach ones that uses and Android App to adjust the EQs like the Turtle 🐢 Beach ⛱️ app ??? Please answer me as fast as you can as I'm in the Game Shop 🎮 right now 😆
Battery life is the thing that it's most important to buy this headset. Multi platform connectivity is a great feature as well. I'm personally little bit confused why there is no direct paring mode with Xbox console (like standart 700 gen 2) and using a dongle with the other devices. And going forward what is gonna happend when you lose the dongle? Is there an any option that you can buy it separately?
Great review. 👍Thanks for that.
How are you losing the dongle though? It's kept in your console or pulled out and put in another console. Pretty odd thing to worry about unless you weren't using it but at that point why even buy it?
What are you doing to lose the dongle ?

I have this headset and to keep it simple these are the heaviest headset i have every owned and the left swivel piece has an issue with cracking and breaking thats i have seen across a few pairs i have had even do i am beyond careful with the headset which kinda sucks but the sounds isnt to bad i can hear people moving around when playing and the mic is actually not bad at all i find it pretty clear.
