Our Verdict
Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Wireless
Astro A20 Wireless
The Astro A20 Wireless is a more neutral-sounding gaming headset than the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Wireless. You also have access to an EQ in the Astro Command Center app to customize them to your liking. However, if you need a microphone to play online with friends, the Stealth 700 has the edge in that category. Speech transmitted will be clearer and decently full-bodied. On the other hand, the Astros feel better built and not as plasticky as the Stealth 700, but you won’t be able to stream music via Bluetooth while gaming, which you can do with the Turtle Beach headset.
