Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 Headphone Review: Fantastic for Gaming, With One Big Compromise
Turtle Beach is no stranger to good gaming headsets. As far as my friends were concerned, they were essential if you wanted to be considered a "serious" gamer. The company's Stealth 700 Gen 3 sits just below its Stealth Pro line and offers an impressive range of features for $200. For starters the headphones has big, 60mm drivers, plus multiple wireless transmitters as well as Bluetooth. The PC version even includes the option for 24-bit audio, sadly at the cost of Xbox compatibility. Speaking of compatibility, the non-24-bit version will work with PC, Xbox, PlayStation and any Bluetooth device like a phone or Nintendo Switch. The CrossPlay button on the right earcup lets you instantly switch between the wireless transmitters. You can even stream audio from a Bluetooth-connected device and the wireless transmitter simultaneously so you can listen to an epic playlist from your phone while dominating on the battlefield. What I like about the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 Lori Grunin/CNET The ear cups are quite comfortable. The cushions are memory foam and covered in a leatherette material that never got uncomfortable or hot for me while wearing them for long periods. Turtle Beach also has what they call "ProSpecs" technology, which is supposedly glasses-friendly. As a spectacle-clad gamer, I appreciated how comfortable they were while wearing my glasses. Other headsets I've worn were not as accommodating. The mic is cleverly hidden away in the left ear cup, and when you pull it down, it automatically unmutes. For the Gen 3, Turtle Beach has added AI-assisted noise reduction to the microphone, which worked very well for me during video calls. I don't play many multiplayer games, so I wasn't able to test it out during gameplay. Judging by my experience on several video calls I'd say it works well. I wouldn't say it's significantly better than what any other company is doing, but it's good at what it does. The left earcup also houses the power button, USB-C charging port, two control wheels - one of which is remappable. There's also a remappable Mode button which by default toggles Turtle Beach's Superhuman hearing mode which increases the sounds of gunshots and footsteps. On the right earcup is the Bluetooth pairing button, Bluetooth volume control wheel and CrossPlay button for switching between sources. What I don't like about the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 Lori Grunin/CNET As my colleague Lori Grunin pointed out in her Stealth Pro review, having a single Bluetooth button can be a double-edged sword. Since Bluetooth headphones automatically connect to the most recently connected device the headphones are always jumping back and forth between devices. So this might take a moment to remedy at the start of a play session. To be honest, with all the buttons and controls on the Stealth 700, it took me a while to learn them all. At times it became annoying. I'd have to remember which wheel controlled volume for which device. Sometimes I'd hit one when trying to readjust the headset. What I'd really have liked was a master volume wheel that decreased everything at once. CNET Oddly, I noticed that the power indicator light around the power button would blink rapidly while it was on instead of remaining solid green. It wasn't a deal-breaker for me since I couldn't see it, but it seemed the opposite of what a blinking light means on other gear. There's a bit of a downside to those big drivers and extra cushiony ear cups: the Stealth 700 is a bit heavy. It never became uncomfortable or painful, but I would instantly feel them with even the slightest head movement. I was always conscious that they were on my head and I always had to be careful of never moving my head too quickly. What might be a bigger dealbreaker for some, and became more of an issue for me the longer I used them, is the lack of any sort of active noise cancellation. With lots of far cheaper headphones offering noise canceling, albeit not gaming headsets, that seems a drawback for the price of the Stealth 700s. I also liked these headphones enough to use them as my daily headphones, but trying to work in a coffee shop without any noise cancellation can be tough. Lori Grunin/CNET The lack of noise cancellation likely helps Turtle Beach's claim that the Stealth 700 gets up to 80 hours of battery life. That's pretty impressive for a gaming headset like this. While 80 hours may be technically achievable, you'll likely never see battery life that high. For me, while gaming an average of 2 to 3 hours a day, a charge lasted about two weeks. Turtle Beach also claims it can fast charge to give you 3 hours of gaming time in about 15 minutes. Customization of the buttons and EQs takes place in the Turtle Beach Swarm II app, which also lets you adjust mic levels, chat settings and most other typical gaming adjustments. The software can be a bit confusing, even glitchy, at times though. It had trouble recognizing the 700 headset a few times, especially when connected via Bluetooth. Should you buy the Stealth 700 Gen 3? The third generation of the Stealth 700 headset is a significant upgrade from the Gen 2 and it offers quite a few more substantial features than other headsets at this price. If you're in the market for a new gaming headset, the Stealth 700 will give you just about everything you could ask for and then some... except noise canceling. Lastly, there are three versions of the Stealth 700 Gen 3. The Xbox version is compatible with every platform. The Playstation is compatible with PC and the PC versions is capable of 24-bit audio as well as being compatible with PlayStation. All versions can also connect to Bluetooth devices.

The best gaming headset you can buy is cheaper than ever at Amazon
Whether you're sneaking in a few extra hours of Death Stranding 2 while your partner snoozes or you want your devastating Mario Kart World taunts to be picked up with crystal clarity, you'll need a decent gaming headset. Well good news: right now you can save almost £100 on the best gaming headset I've tested, the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro. My top pick of the best gaming headsets, the unbeatable Turtle Beach Stealth Pro has dropped from £279.99 to £185, the headset's lowest ever price and a limited time deal at Amazon. I've tested a huge number of gaming headsets for IndyBest, and the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro tops our list for its uncompromising audio quality, delivered by powerful 50mm nanoclear drivers producing crisp and detailed sound. This is bolstered by some of the best active noise cancellation we've experienced on a gaming headset, effectively silencing background distractions and letting you focus entirely on your game. For all its premium features, the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro commands a similarly premium price tag when not on offer. This Amazon discount makes the gaming headset a lot more palatable for those on a budget – it's a worthy upgrade from cheaper headsets and one you'll immediately appreciate. The best headset from renowned gaming brand Turtle Beach, the Stealth Pro sounds and feels every inch as premium as its price point suggests. In my Turtle Beach Stealth Pro review, I appreciated its 'quietly refined fit and finish and refreshingly minimalist aesthetic, steering well clear of the dazzling look-at-me RGB lighting effects found on rival headsets.' As well as looking the part, the gaming headset's loud 50mm drivers deliver a spacious and detailed soundstage across game genres. 'Bass is powerful but controlled,' I wrote in my review. 'Mids and vocal tones are clear, and highs are crisp, even with spatial audio activated. That performance means the stealth pro is a superb headset for music and movies as well as gaming.' Active noise cancellation is a rarity in gaming headsets, dialling down external sounds to immerse you more fully in the experience. The Stealth Pro also comes with a wireless transmitter dock, which doubles as a charging point for the headset's pair of swappable battery packs. That means you can juggle the batteries to avoid drop-outs when your juice runs low. For £185 you get a suite of features usually reserved for the most expensive audio gear on the market. It's an exceptional amount of tech for the money. For anyone serious about competitive gaming, or who wants an uncompromised gaming experience when trying to keep the noise down, the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro is a steal.

Investing in Turtle Beach (NASDAQ:TBCH) three years ago would have delivered you a 15% gain
Investors can buy low cost index fund if they want to receive the average market return. But across the board there are plenty of stocks that underperform the market. That's what has happened with the Turtle Beach Corporation (NASDAQ:TBCH) share price. It's up 15% over three years, but that is below the market return. Unfortunately, the share price has fallen 3.1% over twelve months. So let's investigate and see if the longer term performance of the company has been in line with the underlying business' progress. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. One way to examine how market sentiment has changed over time is to look at the interaction between a company's share price and its earnings per share (EPS). Turtle Beach became profitable within the last three years. That would generally be considered a positive, so we'd expect the share price to be up. The image below shows how EPS has tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). We consider it positive that insiders have made significant purchases in the last year. Having said that, most people consider earnings and revenue growth trends to be a more meaningful guide to the business. Dive deeper into the earnings by checking this interactive graph of Turtle Beach's earnings, revenue and cash flow. While the broader market gained around 15% in the last year, Turtle Beach shareholders lost 3.1%. Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. Unfortunately, last year's performance may indicate unresolved challenges, given that it was worse than the annualised loss of 1.7% over the last half decade. Generally speaking long term share price weakness can be a bad sign, though contrarian investors might want to research the stock in hope of a turnaround. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Turtle Beach better, we need to consider many other factors.
