New Turtle Seaside Headset Makes use of Two Dongles to Resolve a Very Frequent Drawback

Turtle Seaside is revamping its Stealth 700 gaming headset and eventually giving avid gamers who’ve each an Xbox Sequence S and PlayStation 5 what they’ve all the time wished: a headset that works painlessly on each consoles. That is the Gen 3 model of this headset, which launches on September twenty second. It’s out there for pre-order in the present day.

The Stealth 700 Gen 3 shall be out there in Xbox, PlayStation, and PC variations. The one main distinction is that the Xbox model is appropriate with PlayStation and PC, other than Xbox, whereas the PlayStation and PC variations aren’t appropriate with Xbox. I do know it’s form of complicated. The opposite not-so-important distinction is of their coloration variants. The Xbox headset is accessible in Black and Cobalt Blue, the PlayStation in Black and White, and the PC in simply Black.

All three headsets include two USB transmitters and a button that permits simple switching between platforms with only one click on. Most present gaming headsets don’t normally enable Xbox and PlayStation to speak to one another. This may lastly give avid gamers a single headset that ought to fulfill their cross-platform wants.

Logitech tried to resolve that with its Astro A50 X Lightspeed, which requires you to plug your consoles into a base station that acts as a receiver for your headset however is priced at $342 (a brand new, discounted value on the time of reviewing), the $200 Stealth 700 Gen 3 continues to be a significantly better deal and requires lots much less setup.  The Stealth 700 does that with only a pair of included CrossPlay dongles and doesn’t require you to have all of your consoles in the identical location.

It pairs along with your gadgets with a low-latency 2.4GHz and a Bluetooth 5.2 connection. A pair of 60mm drivers care for the immersive spatial audio on the gadget. There’s the identical flip-to-mute mic that’s current on a number of different Turtle Seaside headsets, however this one options AI-based noise discount. The battery life has been given a large increase, too. The 40-hour life on the predecessor, Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max, extends to 80 hours on the Gen 3, together with fast charging. Turtle Seaside impressed us with its Stealth Pro headset, however we’ll have to attend and see if the Stealth 700 Gen 3’s “superior compatibility” advertising really delivers peace of thoughts for avid gamers.
