Turtle Beach announced PlayStation versions of its flagship Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max ($199.95) and the slightly less feature-filled Stealth 600 Gen 2 Max ($129.95) wireless gaming headsets. They\u2019re available to preorder now, and they\u2019ll release on October 2nd, 2022. These are almost identical to the Xbox-specific version released earlier in 2022<\/a> down to some of the same colorway options, consisting of all black with some silver accents or blue with bronze accents. But there\u2019s one big change in the newer PlayStation-specific versions that I think might actually disappoint some gamers who aren\u2019t in the know: the wireless audio transmitter isn\u2019t compatible with Xbox.<\/p>\n

Looking back at the Stealth 700 and 600 Gen 2 Max editions for Xbox<\/a>, the wireless transmitter that\u2019s paired to these headsets supports both<\/em> Xbox and PlayStation via its toggle switch \u2014 among many other platforms, like PS4, Nintendo Switch (via its dock), and PC. What\u2019s a little more strange now is that these older but functionally superior headsets each cost $20 less<\/a> than the new PlayStation models.<\/p>\n

Comparing the two families of headsets, each Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max claims to offer over 40 hours of battery life per charge (my colleague Richard Lawler attests to the solid battery life as well as it being very handy to have a headset that works with all consoles.) The Stealth 600 Gen 2 Max can go over 48 hours, apparently.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve reached out to Turtle Beach to figure out exactly who these PlayStation-angled headsets were made for, aside from people who don\u2019t know how to glean hardware specs. I\u2019ll update this post if the company responds with anything substantial, but if you need one of these headsets now, just get the Xbox-specific versions instead of waiting for these lesser models to release in October.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
