Our Verdict
Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Wireless
SteelSeries Arctis 9X Wireless
The SteelSeries Arctis 9X Wireless are much better wireless gaming headphones than the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Wireless. While they both can mix audio from a Bluetooth source, the SteelSeries have a better microphone, their battery lasts over twice as long, and they feel much better-built.
