Our Verdict
Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Wireless
Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 Wireless
The Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 Wireless are an improvement on the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Wireless in a couple of areas, though there are some drawbacks. The Gen 2 are better-built, more stable on the head, and have superior microphone recording quality. Their companion app has more features, they last longer on a single charge, and their non-Bluetooth latency is lower too. Conversely, the older Stealth 700 support passive audio playback on a wired connection, block out more ambient noise, and leak less audio. They also have an easier-to-use control scheme.
