Logitech G435 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset vs Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 3 Wireless Gaming Headset
Get the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 3. Unless it's for a child or a small head and you want it light and cheap — then the Logitech G435.
Logitech G435 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset
A very light, cheap wireless headset made with younger gamers in mind, with a volume limiter, a dongle and Bluetooth. The built-in mic is weak in a noisy room.
Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 3 Wireless Gaming Headset
The best wireless gaming headset around £100: punchy sound, an excellent noise-filtering mic and up to 80 hours of battery, with Bluetooth too. Buy the Xbox version for Xbox.
