Both have a flip-to-mute mic with A.I. noise reduction, Bluetooth 5.2, up to 80 hours of battery and the Swarm II app on a PC or phone. Turtle Beach lists the Xbox edition of each for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and PC. Neither lists a Mac or Switch 2.
For the Stealth 700 Gen 3, Turtle Beach names the second transmitter for a PC or PlayStation, so the PS5 path is spelled out. For the Stealth 600 Gen 3's Xbox edition, it names the transmitter for the Xbox and Bluetooth for a PC, a Switch and phones, and lists PS5 without saying which of the two connects there.
If the PS5 is where you chat most, the Stealth 700's second transmitter is the path Turtle Beach describes. The game and chat mix on the Stealth 700 works on Xbox only.
Both come in Xbox and PlayStation editions. For an Xbox and a PS5, buy the Xbox edition of either. Each replacement transmitter pairs only with its own edition, so keep the ones in the box.
Plug the transmitter for PC or PlayStation into the PS5 and press the headset's button to switch to it, then choose the headset in Settings, Sound, Microphone and check the level.
Plug the USB transmitter into the Xbox and turn the headset on, then check chat output and mic monitoring in Volume & audio output before you start a party.
Connections and controls come from these model-specific documents. Manufacturer claims about sound are not independent tests.
