Starting at the most back dial, you have the dedicated volume wheel followed by a microphone monitor volume wheel. This is about seventy grams heavier than the Stealth 600 Gen 2, which is understandable considering the use of steel on the headband, but it is also getting close to the heavy side.Īll of the controls and inputs exist on the left side of the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2. In terms of weight, the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 tips the scale at 362g. It was not more than I could bear, but some may still want their fabric coverings here instead of leather. Even so, the headset did warm up a bit after a while. I do like the use of their cooling gel on each ear, as it made wearing the Stealth 700 Gen 2 feel nice to the touch. The plushy material in both the ears and the headband are great in keeping the gaming headset comfortable. There is a bit more clamping force on your ears than the Stealth 600 Gen 2, but this could be attributed to the slightly thicker memory foam on each ear. In terms of overall comfort, I think the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 was quite good. It offers a sufficient amount of thickness to relieve any pressure on the top of your head. Underneath, we have a thick memory foam portion that is covered in more synthetic leather. At the top, we have a soft touch finish plastic with the Turtle Beach brand engraved at the top. Unfortunately, we do not have any markings to visually represent how far the arms are extended. Each side extends out and reveals the steel headband that reinforces the whole structure of the Stealth 700 Gen 2. Moving to the top where the headband of the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2, we can see the top headband portion. They also rotate to sit flat if you want to rest your headphones on your neck. Otherwise, the ears themselves can pivot about to better fit the side of your head. These drivers are said to have a frequency response of 20Hz to 22kHz, which is a slightly larger range than the typical human hearing range of 20Hz to 20kHz. The 50mm neodymium driver can be found on each side of the ear with a thin mesh fabric covering the plastic frame underneath. While the positioning of it may be slightly different depending on your head shape and glasses, I do appreciate Turtle Beach looking out for us glasses-wearing gamers.Īfter removing each foam cup, you can see they are held on with four plastic pegs. This channel should give room for your frames of your glasses while wearing the Stealth 700 Gen 2. Instead of a slight change in material, there is an adjustment tab under each side to create an indented groove. Similar to the Stealth 600 Gen 2, we also have their ProSpecs Glasses Relief System on each earcup, except this is turned up a notch. Underneath the gel, we have a thick layer of memory foam to ensure a comfortable fit. After a while, the gel does warm up, but it is a bit slower than what would normally be on a leather earcup with just memory foam underneath. This cooling gel should be cool to the touch when you first put it on. The idea behind this is that there is a bit of cooling gel on this surface, which Turtle Beach dubs Aerofit. Starting at the ears, the cups are wrapped with a leather ring and a more cotton-like fabric finish. It is nothing too extreme, but it does not sound great either. In terms of build quality, plastic will generally exhibit a bit more creaking during movement, and it is the same story with the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2. I would not say they are sleek, but Turtle Beach was not too ostentatious with the appearances. Otherwise, I think the overall appearances of the Stealth 700 Gen 2 are very fitting for its name, as I would describe these headphones as stealthily gamer. We also have a slightly different surface material on the part that touches your ears, as we will explore shortly. Other materials here include an exposed steel headband for adjusting the size of the Stealth 700 Gen 2 and synthetic leather to cover the earcups and headband. Otherwise, we have a similar design for the exterior with the half cut through each ear to allow for some pivoting action. Instead of the white exterior we received, we have the black color, which is the only variant the Stealth 700 Gen 2 comes in. Gray is used to highlight the Turtle Beach logos on each ear. This includes a silver ring around each ring. In terms of similarities, we still have a full plastic exterior with some silver and gray accents. The Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 looks quite a bit like the Stealth 600 Gen 2, but there are notable changes to make this feel like a bit more premium.
