Gaming Headset Showdown: Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 VS Razer Kaira Pro
When I first reviewed the Kaira Pro last year, it was the best Xbox headset I had tested so far. It has Razer’s awesome new TriForce drivers, Bluetooth functionality, and full RGB support, which I believe is a first for an Xbox product. But Turtle Beach also refreshed their iconic Stealth series last fall, and as I found in my recent review, it’s a juggernaut. The Stealth 700 Gen 2 packs in numerous upgrades, including features that used to be reserved solely for the company’s premium Elite series of headsets.
Both of these headsets sell for a retail price of $150, but only one can be declared the winner after I nitpick them endlessly.
OVERVIEW
Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 (official site here)- I had high hopes for the Stealth 700 Gen 2, and the headset blew them all away. It features all of Turtle Beach’s flagship technologies, including their Nanoclear speaker drivers and ProSpecs glasses relief pad system, as well as the famous Superhuman Hearing mode. The Turtle Beach mobile app gives you extreme control over the headset, through different EQ modes and the ability to remap the secondary volume control wheel on the back of the left ear cup.
