GamesRadar+ Verdict
The latest iteration of the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 offers incredible value for money.
A sturdy metal headband and lighter plastic support the slick visuals.
That weight doesnt make itself known during wear, though.
A thick foam surrounds each cup, with a nicely cool mesh fabric covering over the top.
The headband does let the side down.
Its far from my least comfortable experience, but its not as pleasant as theRazer Barracuda XorBlackShark V2 Hyperspeed.
Both of these headsets offer a thicker cushion around the top.
Each cup can swivel a full 180 degrees for laying flat during travel or wearing around the neck.
Features
The big new features here are Bluetooth 5.2 support and a boosted battery life.
Normally, theres a small lag further down the price bracket.
Its worth noting that theres no wired mode - so those looking to plug in need to head elsewhere.
A massive 80-hour battery life also keeps things particularly competitive.
Thats a particularly high number for this lower mid-range position.
That 80-hour figure rang true in my testing as well.
SuperHuman Hearing is Turtle Beachs competition mode.
Its a sound profile that highlights footsteps and gunshots while de-emphasizing everything else in the soundstage.
Thats a good degree of functionality, especially with those additional programmable buttons in the mix.
However, that powerful bass also brings explosive battlefields to the fore.
Directional audio is more than passable for everyday play as well.
I was able to easily identify footprints and gunshots in my CS2 runs.
Should you buy the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 3?
Id recommend this headset to anyone working with a split PC and console setup and plays casually.
The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5X is also just $30 / 30 more than the Stealth 600 Gen 3.
If you want sound tailored to your game, Id opt for SteelSeries.
Then theres the $99.99 / 99.99 Razer Barracuda X.
