Hit Turtle Beach up direct to grab a unit for yourself. Huge thanks go out to Turtle Beach for providing us with the Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX Headset for full review. It may limit you to ‘only’ 40+ hours of power, but if the previous Stealth 700 Gen 2 is anything to go by, the improved material quality and integrated Bluetooth technology could mean this is worth holding tight for. The one thing that may need to be considered prior to purchase of the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX is of Turtle Beach’s own doing – the Stealth 700 MAX is just around the corner. When you then include the usual standard Turtle Beach quality in terms of the audio in (and out) and ease of use, things just get better still. It just screams Turtle Beach – whether that is for you or not will be of personal taste.īut let’s not get away from the main selling point and when you come to market with a wireless gaming headset that promises more than 48 hours of battery life, there’s very little that would be of concern. Yes everything works well, the headband is well padded, the adjustability is a cinch and the swivelling material covered earcups feel nice. Slightly plasticky when you consider it alongside more premium brands and Turtle Beach’s own higher ranges, it’s not the most standout of headsets in terms of feel in the hand and look on the head. You will find that the headset is typical Turtle Beach fare in terms of how the Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX looks. There’s little to worry about in terms of the audio provided here, no matter how much you turn the volume up. There’s little to no flex available on it and it’s not like the boom is massively long, but it more than does the job needed to ensure that you and your teammates are able to communicate across the gaming battlefields.Ĭrystal clear chat is easily sorted by the mic and superb audio is happily pumped through the 50mm drivers that are found in the Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX’s earcups. Again, if there is anyone who knows anything about creating a gaming headset it’s the TB gang and the mic here is great. We’ve found this to be a little short, preferring to use our Excitrus 100w Power Bank or standard USB-C laptop charger for sticking a little more juice into the Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX.Īs a gaming headset, the Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX also comes with an integrated mic, with this working a flip-to-mute angle. This is a USB-A to USB-C option, letting you remove the USB stick and charge the headset from your console. The only real issue here is the charging cable that comes boxed. The power button doubles up as a switch for Turtle Beach’s now standard Superhuman Hearing equaliser whilst the Mode cycles through a variety of audio presets. Mostly situated on the left ear cup (in fact, the right cup is bereft of any function), is a USB-C power port for when that battery does eventually run down, a power button, a Mode button and independent chat and master volume dials to ensure that optimum audio is always delivered. With it being a wireless offering, all the usual buttons and features that you’d need are also in place. We’ve not nerded out enough to stick the MAX on a constant loop and, frankly, have better things to do than game for 48 hours straight, but have found that this is a headset that is more than capable of being at the ready at all times, with just quick short bursts of charging time keeping things topped up. Honestly, we don’t think Turtle Beach are far off. Of course, there could be concern that the big 48+ hours of power is just marketing talk and that in real world use you’ll rarely find the Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX capable of hitting those numbers. We guess you could even sit there and game for days on end with no concern, but that’s not something we’d recommend – you gotta eat and sleep you know! What this means is that, once charged, you’ll rarely worry about losing audio connection to your favourite games and will hardly ever find yourself dropping out of an Xbox party due to headset power issues. We’re not sure there’s another headset on the market that can compete in terms of those numbers, with Turtle Beach’s own step up – the recently announced 700 MAX – not even able to up it either. The big talking point is the number of hours of charge you’re going to be getting from the Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX – the 48+ hours that Turtle Beach have promised is nothing short of ridiculous.
