Our Verdict

Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 Wireless

Xbox Wireless Headset

The Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 Wireless and the Xbox Wireless Headset are similar gaming headphones for Xbox consoles. The Turtle Beach are better-built and have a more stable fit. They reproduce audio more consistently, have a more neutral default sound profile, and their boom mic offers a slightly better overall performance. They also have lower wireless latency. However, the Xbox are more comfortable, have a longer-lasting battery life, and can be used wired via their USB-C to USB-A cable with full mic and audio compatibility.
