Our Verdict

Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Wireless

Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 Wireless

The Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 are the newer version of the Turtle Beach Stealth 600. The Gen 2 are better built and more stable, and they charge using USB-C instead of Micro-USB, which is more convenient. They also have improved noise isolation and leakage performance. That said, the Gen 1 have a more consistent audio delivery and a more neutral sound profile with a more extended bass response that some may prefer.
