There are a few differences between the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the Stealth 600. After a few hours I got accustomed to it. Perhaps they were being nice, but others in my chats assured me that they did not hear me sniffle. As someone with allergies, it was distracting to hear myself loudly sniffling and clearing my throat. It’s nice that the Stealth 600 lets you hear yourself, preventing you from talking unnaturally loudly during tense matches, but it’s puzzling why the headset sends me different sound than my friends hear. It did take me some time to get used to hearing my own voice, though. In-game, everyone I’ve played with says my voice comes in clearly through the mic-no issues there-and the headset hasn’t yet cut out on me. My wife probably loves it because she had to hear less Shark Tank and Monday Night Raw this week. I’ve become such a fan of the convenience and sound, I began listening to Spotify on my PS4 more, even donning the headset to watch shows on Hulu and Netflix. Thankfully, sound quality is crisp and clear even if you don't tweak the settings. I’m not sure any of the modes saved my bacon in games like Fortnite, but it was still fun playing around with boosting the bass, treble, and vocals. It definitely gave me superhuman hearing, and by that I mean everything was a lot louder. The mode button lets you access specialized audio profiles, including surround sound and a special “Superhuman Hearing” mode that’s supposed to let you you hear things like the leaves rustling behind you, offering a tactical advantage. On the back of the left earcup, two wheels adjust main volume and chat above a large power button that sits below a mode selector. I’ve enjoyed this style of muting a lot more than the tiny, confusing toggles on many corded headsets-once you've used a microphone like this, it's hard to go back. On its side, you can flip out the microphone, which automatically turns on/off as you snap it into position on the side of your mouth. The left earcup is where the action happens. For those who wear glasses, the padding in the middle of the ear cups is softer, putting less pressure on your frames as you game. It doesn’t feel as luscious as leather and is a tad scratchy, but it does a nice job dissipating heat and sweat from your ears. Instead of a leathery covering on the earcups and padding, Turtle Beach used a mesh fabric-almost a kind of microfiber cloth. These cans are highly adjustable and should fit most heads comfortably, thanks to some extra plush foam padding on the top. Like most gaming headsets, both the Xbox One and PS4 versions of the Ear Force Stealth 600 are constructed from plastic each adorn the signature green and blue colors of their console.
A good frolic to the fridge is worth its weight in loot boxes. If you’ve never ducked out for snacks between Overwatch matches while remaining completely connected, you’re missing out. The Stealth 600s sound sensational and feel fantastic, but it takes a lot more alliteration to describe how freeing it is to just turn on a headset and go. This is a completely wireless over-ear headset-you're sans cables until it comes time to charge the battery. Often, “wireless” console headsets still require you to plug them into a controller, but not here. At $100, this set is cheaper than many top headsets, but has a leg up on many of them. I’ve used a few other headsets since, but the Turtle Beach Ear Force Stealth 600 Wireless Surround Gaming Headset impressed me more than most. As annoying as that was, the broken headset forced me to realize how much I hated playing with it. Sometimes, I couldn’t hear my friends at all, and my microphone cut out so many times I lost count. It was the gaming headset equivalent of those terrible $5 Gumy earbuds you see hanging by the dozen in Walmart. For more than a year, I put up with the crappy headset that came with my PlayStation 4.
