Rank #4 in Best Gaming Headset 2026: Ten Ranked on Honest Specs, Not Battery Hype
Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Wireless Multiplatform Gaming Headset for PC, PS5
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 3 is our number 4 gaming headset pick and the value wireless buy in the September 2026 list at £79.99. It keeps the up to 80 hour battery claim and the 2.4 GHz plus Bluetooth 5.2 QuickSwitch of the pricier Stealth 700, adds 50 mm drivers and Waves 3D Audio for PC through the Swarm II app, and covers PC, PS5, Steam Deck and mobile devices. Behind that sits the best review average in the budget wireless class: 4.4 from 1,168 ratings.
Its data sheet is a catalogue case study: the charge time field reads '8E+1 Hours', the carrying case colour is 'Schwarz', the weight of 599 g looks like a packaging figure and the frequency response is '20 Hz'. Each is flagged (as listed) rather than repeated as fact. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing rather than our own testing.
How those 1,168 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.4 stars.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Excellent sound, and battery life. I use it for gaming and everything is crystal clear but you need to EQ it on your pc/laptop but there's plenty of help out there.No connection dropping and easy to find controls on the cups while in game”
Verified purchase“Easy and instant install. Fits perfectly well and the sound quality is just right. I'd say better than the x360 headset I had which just got replaced after 3 years (good product too). The bass quality is heavier and testing the mic on co-op was crystal clear from the feedback received. I highly recommend this and cheaper compared to my previous one. you won't regret it.”
