It’s a great app too – at least the Android one is, I can’t speak for the iOS equivalent – letting you configure the Superhuman Hearing, audio presets, mic monitoring and chat boost with ease. By utilising the Turtle Beach Audio Hub mobile app on either iOS or Android, you can play around with specific settings to your heart’s content.

What isn’t a gimmick is the mappable Mode button and wheel. Credit has to go out to Turtle Beach for creating such a well detailed set of cans. I’ve happily had these fired up as high as they can go in terms of volume levels and taken in a host of different experiences, and not once have I noticed a single crackle, hiss, or bit of distortion. And when you throw in some easily accessible EQ presets – Signature Sound, Bass Boost, Bass + Treble Boost, Vocal Boost – making sure the Stealth delivers the sounds you want is super easy.

The 50mm Nanoclear neodymium drivers provide super punchy, super realistic audio no matter whether you are using these as a gaming device or as a pair of cans to deliver the latest musical melodies to your ears. I’ve also been pretty damn touched by the sounds that the Stealth 700 Gen 2 deliver.

I just can’t fail to be impressed by the overall aesthetic and feel these deliver, with a brilliant fit that is completed by the keeping of Turtle Beach’s ‘glasses friendly’ promise. Comfort is a main selling point of any headset and the tech thrown into these has meant that every single play session – and even when outside of gaming – has been a good one. Yep, lots of tech speak right there, but honestly from the first minute of taking the Stealth 700 Gen 2 out of the box, I was drawn to these cups immediately, and they’ve been an utter pleasure to use. That fit is complemented well by some TB logo’d Aerofit-styled earcups that house 50mm Nanoclear neodymium drivers inside some super squishy cooling gel-infused synthetic leathered earcups. It must be said though that when it is on your head, it’s a super tight fit – whether you like that or not may vary, but for me it feels brilliant. That headband is fully adjustable too, allowing it to fit any size head with ease. This is a really understated look that sees the whole thing come across as classy it’s certainly no crappy plastic affair that many gaming headsets – some of those the cheaper Turtle Beach options – come across as. It’s made to look better still by a matt black outer band adorning the Turtle Beach logo. This ensures that you can wear the 700 Gen 2 for long periods of time without any need to remove it, with comfort in place at all times. An all-metal reinforced headband brings the whole thing together, with the inner side of that complete with a decent amount of padding.

More importantly though, it feels superb to wear. It feels great in the hand, not light, but never heavy (382grams in weight), but it is most definitely well-balanced from the get go. So, the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 for Xbox immediately oozes quality.

Even though that £100+ asking price of the Stealth 700 Gen 2 for Xbox will immediately put it out of reach of many, when you consider the extra benefit this brings over a more mid-range set, it’s all a bit of a no-brainer. But they come with a hefty price tag attached. It seems that over the years I’ve said that a fair old bit about numerous Xbox-related headsets, and it’s true that the real gaming powerhouses from the likes of Razer – the Razer Nari Ultimate for Xbox One, for instance – are amongst some of the very best sounding, most well-equipped sets on the market.
