Title: Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 MAX
Review: This is our 4th pair because the sound and the comfort is perfect for the price. I owned two pairs of the previous version (TB Stealth 700 Gen2 non "MAX") and fell in love. I've been using Turtle Beach headsets since 2010. The warranty is a good peace of mind also.One of the beast features is the simultaneous Bluetooth function. This headset allows you to wirelessly connect to your PC / Console via USB dongle, while also connected to your phone / tablet via Blue Tooth without switching connections. So you can be listening to music or taking a call on your phone, and the audio from your console / PC can still function simultaneously. You might not think its a big deal, but it comes in handy, I don't think I could live without it, especially if you are paying over $100 for a good headset. You can watch a tutorial video on your phone when you get stuck on that boss fight, or cant figure out a tricky puzzle in an RPG, or browse social media while waiting in queue for your game to start etc.* Some other brand headsets have Bluetooth and wireless capabilities, but a lot of them DO NOT work simultaneously. If you want this functionality, do your research. *Another cool function is that they can work with Xbox or PS regardless of what it says on the package. I have a Xbox Series X and a Play Station 5, and the same headset works for both consoles. Just flip the switch on the dongle to PC.The foam around your ears is soft memory foam, they have good bass for music and gaming, though you can adjust the audio mixer via the phone app. Easy to use and it isn't all glitchy like other apps. I also really like how the microphone can be completely hidden, so they look like normal headphones in public. Also the mic mutes automatically when you flip it up, so you always know if you are muted or not easily. They come out of the box pretty tight, if you have a small head / young teen / child, they will stay in place. For my big head I always have to stretch the headband out a good amount, but that's fine because it has a metal headband inside so it eventually forms to your head. They do have a good weight to them, they don't have that light cheap plastic feeling. That could be a drawback for some people but I don't even realize they are on after a while. The mic quality is good nobody ever complains in game about a bad mic sound. It also has mic monitoring which means you can hear yourself talking if you wish, you can adjust the level or turn it off in the app.Unfortunately the older non "MAX" variation (Stealth 700 gen2) were prone to the plastic breaking after heavy use. I haven't had that issue with the new "MAX" version, but they are essentially the same headset, but now they just use a dongle, where before the Xbox version did not require a dongle. I had to superglue two different sets because they both broke after heavy use, they WOULD still work, but it is annoying having to glue them back together. I've fallen asleep over night with them on and have had sessions of 12 hours in a day, so your usage my be different. However, EVERY Turtle Beach product has a 1 year warranty, so if they break they will send you a brand new set, and you can keep the broken set until you cant bare it anymore. I still have my non "MAX" superglued set as backup just in case. I used both warranties on my broken headsets and everything went smooth, great customer service. I do hope they address this issue if they ever release a gen 3 version.With that being said, Now I am careful and mindful of how I put them on, I simply stretch the metal headband without touching the ear cup section to put them on my head. No issues, just don't grip and bend the plastic ear cup section, you might eventually put too much stress on the plastic that holds the ear cup housing that connects to the headband. That's where my old headsets broke.Even with those two broken headsets from the previous version, I still ONLY use the Stealth 700 gen 2 MAX now. The features, the price, the comfort, and the sound is what keeps me coming back.I did try the Microsoft wireless headset for Xbox after my second TB headset broke, the earmuffs were too small and the sound was terrible. I literally would not game until I got a new set of Turtle Beaches again. The sound is NIGHT AND DAY in comparison. The Microsoft headset sounded like the audio was coming through a soda can, they felt cheap and plastic, and definitely did not have simultaneous Blue Tooth capability.Also, you always get a Turtle Beach sticker in the box, that hasn't changed since I bought my first headset from them back in 2010. 👍

Title: 1.5 YR REVIEW - Caution, I won't buy again.
Review: I will try to make this as quick and easy I will start with the bad and work my way to good:Note: These headsets are only warranted for 1 yr through the manufacture, I was told I have to buy a new headset.BAD: The quality of the headset is cheap for the price you pay. One earpiece broke completely off from the headband with regular use and the other earpiece is cracked about half way in the same spot. These failure points should have been made from metal. I use my headset for a few hours every night, put them on, play, take them off with the occasional interruptions where I have to remove them during my gaming session.NEEDS WORK: Some connectivity issues with the headset and my PC, but these were far and few. I would prefer if these could go into sleep mode when not detecting any sound for a few minutes instead of powering down. The dongle that plugs into your device should have a 'wake up' button on it so you do not have to keep unplugging and re plugging it back into your device. Unnecessary wear on your usb port. Also important to note, you have to plug in the dongle first so it receives power, then you can turn on your headset. If you don't do this, then you will experience connectivity issues.GOOD: Great sound, ability to tell where a player is coming from is fantastic and the mic works great. Flip to mute is a wonderful feature. No complaints from friends about not being able to hear me clearly. These do come with some great features for adjusting your sound and I really like the ability to lower chat and gameplay sound independently from each other. It would have been nice to have the ability to raise the chat volume higher as some of my friends I can barely hear.OVERALL: It would be great if the price point stays the same, but had some more robust connections where all the tension is put on these through normal wear and tear. These headsets grip tightly on your head, but could be relaxed a little as occasionally I would get a headache because of my glasses.

Review: The max series solved the only problem I had with the 700 Gen 2s which was the connection sometimes cutting out, the USB allows for a much more stable connection, the sound quality is amazing and blows my other, much more expensive headset out of the water

Review: Los estuve probando por dos semanas y la verdad vale mucho la pena comprarlos! Son de muy buen material y de muy buena calidad. El sonido es muy bueno tienen muy buen volumen y con los ajustes adicionales son excelentes para escuchar enemigos que se acerquen a ti durante el juego. No se puede configurar directamente con el Xbox series X pero con su adaptador usb no tienes problemas, además puedes conectar tus audífonos al Xbox y al celular al mismo tiempo y eso me gustó.Lo único que se me complicó un poco fue actualizar los audífonos por qué no dice si ya están actualizados o aún no! Pero de ahí en fuera, todo está perfecto.
