The Turtle Beach Stealth series is by one one of the biggest sellers of the headset market. There’s a lot of scope in the Stealth range, with some affordable models, right up to their flagships and wireless. However, the sweet spot most people aim for is the Stealth 600. It’s long been one of my most recommended headsets and now they’re back with a new and improved model. I love it when I reviewed it 3+ years ago, when I tested the Xbox One model and the PlayStation 4 model. The new Gen 2 design aims to improve on that and bring it up to speed for 2020 and beyond.
Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 Wireless Headset
It’s just as well equipped as the old Stealth 600, with large and powerful drivers, a great quality microphone, and their fantastic glass-friendly design. However, Turtle Beach promises that they’ve tweaked and improved all of the hardware, as well as the overall design to make it better than ever. It’s wireless on PlayStation 4 as well as the docked Nintendo Switch. However, they’re working on the understanding it’ll work on PlayStation 5 based on what Sony has said, but that is pending some further testing. It works on Windows 10 too, although I’m not sure why they don’t list PC on the box though.

What Turtle Beach Had to Say
“The Turtle Beach® Stealth™ 600 Gen 2 is the successor to the best-selling Stealth™ 600 wireless gaming headset, dominates on PS5™ & PS4™, and features a new wireless mini-USB transmitter for a rock-solid connection. New for Stealth™ 600 Gen 2 is a larger flip-to-mute mic for refined chat clarity that integrates into the headset when muted, plus uniquely re-shaped, breathable ear cushions with ProSpecs™ technology provide glasses friendly comfort over long gaming sessions. Turtle Beach’s renowned Superhuman Hearing® gives players the ultimate audio advantage, driven through precision-tuned 50mm speakers for a deeply immersive, undistorted audio experience.” – Turtle Beach
Bought this headset the other day and it is completely rubbish, game volume nowhere near loud enough, The Preset EQs are completely useless and a waste of time, it is like stuffing cotton wool in your ears and then using a headset to hear the game, Windows Sonic is also rubbish and made no difference to sound quality, the App is also completely pointless and really only serves to update the headsets software, using Dolby Atmos is slightly better as you can customise the EQs on all levels, not sure how much Turtle Beach paid you to give such a biased and inaccurate review is beyond me, I strongly advise against buying this product and your readers should be swayed towards the Arctis 9x. I feel with the 600 Gen2 is just another company producing sub-standard products knowing full well people like you will be conned into buying it, Turtle Beach are taking advantage of gamers.
