Our Verdict
Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 Wireless
Razer Kaira X
The Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 Wireless and the Razer Kaira X have different strengths, and you may prefer either one. The Turtle Beach are wireless headphones that are better built, deliver audio more consistently, and are compatible with Turtle Beach Audio Hub software, which offers a graphic EQ and presets to help you customize their sound to suit your tastes. They also support Bluetooth. However, the Razer are wired headphones that are more comfortable, have a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer, and have a better overall microphone performance.
