More annoying than user friendly. ### 5/5 — TB Stealth 500 *2026-07-22, version 6.26.0-141* Aside from being a business owner, I’m a gamer too. My gaming days go back to the first Atari console. At 59 years old, believe it or not I just purchased my first gaming headphones. OMG. I never knew what I was missing until I bought these recently. The Super Human Hearing feature makes it sound like I’m inside the game itself. I spent $70 on the TB Stealth 500 headphones and they are well worth it in my opinion. They are quite comfortable too with a long battery life. The Swarm II app works great with my headphones as well. A+ ### 5/5 — My opinion *2026-07-22, version 6.26.0-141* This headset is so freaking goated ### 5/5 — Always the Best *2026-07-11, version 6.14.0-133* I’m finally glad that the Gen 3 Stealth 700 are an upgrade from the Gen 2. Turtle Beach in my opinion is the best headsets hands down. I’ve been a loyal customer for years, since they came out. I’ve purchased all Gen 1 2 3 on the stealth 600 & even bought the Gen 2 600 for my X wife, our daughter & my x father in law. They love them. I just purchased my Gen 3 700 & it’s everything & above what I wanted. Thank you, loyal fan of your products ### 2/5 — Headset Disconnects or distorted *2026-07-11, version 6.14.0-133* Headset still randomly disconnects or gets static for audio and mic. Have app installed both on phone and PC. When it works it sounds great. Only 5 feet from the receiver. Stealth 700 GEN 3 XBOX Please fix with an update!!! 07/11/2026 ### 3/5 — Hook up *2026-07-05, version 6.14.0-133* My headphones don’t sync right away. Turn em off wait turn back on. Up to 5x ### 5/5 — Sound quality *2026-07-05, version 6.14.0-133* Very good sound quality if your playing rainbow six siege, valorant, call of duty, etc. ### 5/5 — Best headset ever *2026-06-26, version 6.14.0-133* I bought the stealth 600 gen 3, it has amazing sound all the buttons the volume wheel the mic are all amazing just like the price I got mine for 60 dollars but it’s normally 110 which is definitely worth it. The app is also amazing all the customization I can do for my headset, and if I buy any of there other products I can use them in this app too, turtle beach is THE BEST CHOICE!!! ### 5/5 — Love the app and branding *2026-06-19, version 6.14.0-133* Love the app I have a turtle beach stealth gen 3 and I love it with the app I can use different setting so I can hear better in games like footsteps and other things in different games I love the app and turtle beach brand and u should definitely try it out and if I don’t have any turtle beach product u should definitely get u some and try it out for ur self. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Turtle beach headset and controller *2026-08-19, version 6.26.0-141* These items are trash. My controller constantly disconnects from my series x. My 700x I have to turn on about 10 times before the microphone works. Trash ### 1/5 — Swarm app *2026-08-14, version 6.26.0-141* This app is so terrible. Yes it lets you have access to most of your headset features, but what’s the point when the damn app won’t even load up? Has way too many bugs !!! ### 1/5 — Garage app *2026-08-07, version 6.26.0-141* Keeps saying it needs a update won’t let me update through my phone keeps saying phones not close enough when the headset but it connects through Bluetooth close enough for that but not a update ### 1/5 — Headphones crackle *2026-07-18, version 6.26.0-141* Headphones crackle when playing certain games. I use my Bluetooth earbuds and they don’t crackle at all. Waste of money don’t buy for Xbox. ### 1/5 — App and headset *2026-07-17, version 6.26.0-141* App sucks and headset sucks. Either party sounds too loud or game sounds too loud or both sound too loud and nothing helps. ### 1/5 — Mic monitoring *2026-06-29, version 6.14.0-133* Not sure if it’s the app or the headset, but mic monitoring keeps turning itself back on and it’s so annoying ### 1/5 — App kinda sucks *2026-06-27, version 6.14.0-133* Why name it swarm 2 like name it something easy to find. But my biggest complaint is if you haven’t used it in a while and your headset needs an update, they will not let you use the app when your headset is not on the latest version which if you’re in the middle of gaming means you can’t use your headset for 10-15 mins because you have to update it just configure a quick setting ### 1/5 — Connectivity issues *2026-06-14, version 6.14.0-133* Constant issues with connecting the headset, despite it being the “choice” for Xbox. Makes getting a wired headset feel worth it. ### 1/5 — Connection headache *2026-05-25, version 6.14.0-133* Most costly headache. Was able to get through the setup, but I unplug my usb from my PlayStation and charge my headset separately. When plugging back in the usb, I have constant connectivity issues. Everything reads that it is connected, but the usb and headset are not working together. Tried to get support through the app and the app just froze. Not worth it! ### 1/5 — The app *2026-05-22, version 6.14.0-133* Absolutely trash it’s showing I need 2 usb transmitters to update the headset when I only got one and the headset audio randomly got muffled ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Swarm II *2026-08-22, version 6.26.0-141* This app has been really helpful in assisting with fine tuning my wireless mic highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Earphones *2026-08-13, version 6.26.0-141* These are the best I have used for gaming !! They work with other things besides the Xbox which is a plus and are comfortable to wear since I have glasses.Love these !! best money I have spent and not regretted it.They were almost $100.00 worth every penny of it !! ### 5/5 — Reliable *2026-08-10, version 6.26.0-141* It’s really reliable with the headset and Xbox and it’s customizable it is the best ever brah ### 5/5 — Nice App *2026-08-06, version 6.26.0-141* App is very easy to use with no bugs. App is required for the TB Stealth Pro 2. ### 5/5 — good app *2026-08-06, version 6.26.0-141* good app ### 5/5 — Keep up the hard work *2026-08-02, version 6.26.0-141* Awesome ### 5/5 — Tutlebeach *2026-07-30, version 6.26.0-141* 5 star ### 5/5 — Top Tier Product *2026-07-29, version 6.26.0-141* Turtle Beach hands down own THE BEST gaming headsets! Whether you’re playing FPS, EA, Adventure, Fighting, Hunting, or Action games. Turtle Beach has everything a gamer needs. Customization that allows you to adjust what you hear through the app "for you particularly headset." Exceptional battery life during long gaming hours. Comfort to your ears during long hours. Unfortunately, I can only speak for Stealth 600 and 700 Gen 3. Amazing headsets! I don’t own the newer Stealth Pro or Pro II ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2026-07-28, version 6.26.0-141* This really helps me adjust my hearing on my headset! And it really helps check what my battery is on and so much more! FIVE STARS!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Turtle Beach Stealth 700 *2026-07-24, version 6.26.0-141* This is my first turtle beach headset in my life. I’ve always went with PlayStation these turtle beach headsets sound great they’re very easy to hook up. I just got them today. I turtle Beach headset. The 700 stealth was definitely worth $150. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
