The Stealth 600 Gen 3 from Turtle Beach arrive as a notable evolution within the multiplatform headset category, combining high-precision sound, a battery that lasts forever, and extensive customization options. They are comfortable, lightweight, and offer full compatibility with Xbox Series, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, PC and Bluetooth-enabled mobile devices, including the Steam Deck.

Although the Stealth 600 Gen 3 are available in three colors: white, black, and purple, the model we have is the Purple one, which stands out with its own personality. Its finish breaks a bit with the traditional aesthetics of gaming headsets, adding a more youthful touch without sacrificing elegance. It’s ideal for those looking for something visually different but with the same advanced features as the rest of the range. It’s a matter of taste.

Its official price is $109.99. They are available, as we mentioned a little earlier, in three colors: black, white, and purple, and their adjustable and foldable design allows for easy transport or use for hours without fatigue.

Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 3 Review: Battery, Sound and Advanced Features

Comfortable design adaptable to any situation

• These headphones are designed with long sessions in mind: viscoelastic foam cushions, covered with athletic fabric and compatible with glasses thanks to the ProSpecs technology. Its headband adjusts well and the foldable design allows them to be laid flat when not in use, making transport easier.

Total connectivity with dual wireless mode

• The strong point of the Gen 3 model is its dual connectivity: you can use the 2.4 GHz signal for low latency on consoles and PC, or connect via Bluetooth 5.2 to mobiles and other devices. The QuickSwitch button allows you to switch between both connections instantly. It does not include a jack input, as it is designed as a completely wireless model.

Powerful and configurable sound to the detail

• Its 50 mm Nanoclear transducers offer a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, optimized for spatial audio on Xbox, PlayStation and PC. In addition, you can adjust the sound to your liking from the Swarm II app (PC and mobile), which allows you to equalize with 10 bands, save presets and even adjust the microphone monitoring levels and the noise gate sensitivity.

Intelligent microphone with integrated AI

• The new unidirectional microphone, foldable to mute, includes AI-assisted noise cancellation. This improves chat audio in noisy environments, ideal for streaming or cooperative games. From the app, you can also modify the microphone’s behavior, with functions such as chat boost, voice activation or personalized sensitivity.

Customizable controls and extra features

• It incorporates a secondary wheel and a mode button that are fully remappable from the app. You can use them to control chat volume, bass levels, Superhuman Hearing mode, equalizer, Bluetooth control and more. This flexibility makes the Stealth 600 Gen 3 a very complete model, even for advanced users.

The best

• Up to 80 hours of autonomy and fast charging via USB

• 2.4 GHz + Bluetooth connectivity with instant switching QuickSwitch

• Swarm II app with 10-band equalizer and customizable controls

• Its price

What can be improved

• No wired connection option for passive use

• Some advanced features not available in Bluetooth mode

Final verdict
After using them for several weeks in long sessions with Xbox Series, in meetings via Bluetooth from the mobile and also testing them on PC, I can say that the Stealth 600 Gen 3 deliver on their promise. The battery is spectacular, the sound is clear and deep, and switching between devices is as comfortable as they promise.

In addition, the level of customization from the app puts them above many more expensive models. I miss almost nothing, except perhaps a jack input for emergencies. If you’re looking for versatile, durable headphones with good sound presence, this is a very safe bet.

Where to buy?

You can currently find them available on Amazon, although you can also buy them from several other sites, including the official website of, Turtle Beach, both sites have the same price.
