Stealth 700 Gen 2
The all-new Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 features a host of updates including upgraded performance, comfort and styling. Game audio on the Stealth 700 Gen 2 has been tuned and refined to deliver even more detailed and precise sound, giving gamers an even better chance to hear everything and defeat everyone.

Battery life has been upgraded significantly with a 20-hour lifespan. Gamers can also use Bluetooth® connectivity to connect to the all-new Turtle Beach Audio Hub app to easily customize their audio and program the headset's remappable dial and button, as well as simultaneously listen to music or take mobile calls while gaming.

A user-friendly audio preset button on the headset allows for easy access to customize audio, and gamers can still count on Turtle Beach's exclusive Superhuman Hearing® for an audio advantage on the battlefield.
