Turtle Beach’s new Stealth 700 gaming headset has two USB dongles

Turtle Beach’s redesigned Stealth 700 Gen 3 wireless gaming headset is redefining #donglelife by including two USB transmitters, allowing it to quick-switch crossed consoles and PC / Steam Deck astatine the propulsion of a fastener erstwhile it launches September 22nd — with preorders disposable present for $199.99.

This isn’t the archetypal headset to effort the one-button switching thing, but the caller Stealth 700 goes a precise antithetic way than Logitech’s pricier Astro A50 X, which routed each audio and video done its charging dock’s HDMI passthrough. The Stealth 700 sounds a small much rudimentary than that (though besides overmuch little finicky), but its specs are beauteous robust with 60mm drivers that are 10mm larger than the last-gen model, simultaneous Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity for telephone / Discord use, spatial audio, a noise-canceling microphone (that seemingly uses “AI”), and a claimed 80 hours of artillery life.

The dedicated PC exemplary offers higher 24-bit / 96kHz audio and a 16-bit / 32kHz mic, arsenic the existent consoles are constricted to 16-bit / 48kHz for audio and 16-bit / 16kHz for mics.

Another unusual connectivity anomaly is that the Xbox mentation is cross-compatible with PlayStation / PC, but the PlayStation and PC models don’t enactment with Xbox (yet the PlayStation exemplary works with PC, and the PC 1 works connected PS5 / PS4). apt plays a relation successful that spot of disorder — fun.

Nuanced compatibility restrictions aside, the caller Stealth 700 sounds similar a elemental yet brute-force method for a multi-platform gamer to usage 1 headset crossed systems without perpetually moving astir a USB receiver oregon re-pairing Bluetooth. It’s decidedly a small much flexible than the Astro A50 X’s request that your headset beryllium the cardinal hub for each your systems, particularly if your console and PC setups are successful antithetic rooms.
