It’s been a couple of years since Turtle Beach refreshed their brilliant Stealth 700 Headset, but today they announce that refresh, alongside some charging options and Nintendo Switch gear.
New gaming gear is always good, and that’s where Turtle Beach seemingly excel. Upcoming is a new Turtle Beach Stealth 700 headset, additional PDP Afterglow Wave gear and a REALMZ travel case for Switch.
Obviously it’s the Xbox side of things we are most interested in, and with that in mind comes the new Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 Headset. A multiplatform gaming headset for Xbox, PlayStation, PC, Steam Deck and mobile is redesigned for a third generation of premium gaming prowess.

It will allow games to dominate on console, PC, and compatible Bluetooth devices with the Stealth 700’s CrossPlay dual wireless transmitter system, which includes two wireless transmitters allowing gamers to change the headset’s audio source at the touch of a button.
The new Stealth 700 also features massive and powerful 60mm Eclipse Dual Drivers, a third-generation flip-to-mute mic with A.I. noise-cancellation, an 80-hour battery life, and much more. The Stealth 700’s dedicated PC version adds 24-bit, 96kHz high-fidelity wireless audio and Waves 3D sound enhancements, plus a 16-bit, 32kHz high-bandwidth microphone. Consider that we were very impressed with the Gen 2 Stealth 700, and hopes are high for this new one.
The Designed for Xbox Stealth 700 will be available in cobalt blue/gold or black/silver, while the PlayStation version comes in white/silver or black/silver. The Stealth 700 PC version is a black/silver affair.
Turtle Beach’s new Stealth 700 headsets are available for pre-order for $199.99/£179.99/€199.99 MSRP and launch Sept. 22nd 2024.
