Turtle Beach just launched a stunning purple version of its iconic Stealth 600 Gen 3 headset

Turtle Beach is changing things up a notch and steering away from the plain aesthetics of all-black peripherals, with the launch of the new purple Stealth 600 Gen 3 headset. Launching on March 3 this year, the brand has taken one of the iconic models from its Stealth line and given it a new sleek purple coat of paint, all for the same budget-friendly $99.99 / £99.99 price point.

Gaming headsets come in all shapes and sizes. But when it comes to color, even the best gaming headsets don't leave much to the imagination. Unless specifically designed to capture that 'cute and cozy' aesthetic, these devices typically come in either an all-black or all-white designs. This was just as true for the iconic Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 3 but now this new pretty and purple lease on life makes it stand out from the rest of the aesthetically plain Stealth line.

Despite this new sleek purple aesthetic, the headset retains not just the same price, but the same premium features that impressed us the first time around. Most notably, for under $100 you're still getting that impressive up to 80 hours of battery life, which is notable more than other headsets of its price range. Normally you can expect to get anywhere from 50 - to 70 hours of juice on a sub $100 pair of cups. Even alternatives in the Stealth line, like the Stealth 700 Gen 3, share the same battery limits despite costing double.

This purple version of the headset is designed with the Xbox in mind, but its Bluetooth 5.2 and 2.4GHz connectivity options make it compatible with pretty much anything you throw at it - from the Xbox Series X/S, PC to the PS5 and your everyday mobile phone. While your gaming setup gets a splash of color, its 50mm Nanoclear audio drivers offer up a rich, robust sound profile, which through our hardware team's own testing, gave justice to games from The Last of Us to Doom Eternal.

This purple Stealth 600 Gen 3 is also decked out with a flip-to-use microphone, re-mappable wheel & mode buttons, built-in EQ modes including the brand's branded 'Superhuman' hearing feature, and memory foam padding with the brand's own "Glasses-Friendly" technology. For all intents and purposes, this is the same Stealth 600 Gen 3 headset released last year, but in purple form. Fortunately, the pretty purple design also hasn't jacked up the price - which is good news for those looking for a better fit for their cute and cozy gaming setups. Or anyone just as bored as I am with the sea of all-black or all-white peripherals.

One of the stand-out aspects of the purple Stealth 500 Gen 3 gaming headset is arguably its price. This is a sub-$100 headset, and even its brand-new flashy makeover doesn't deviate it away from its more budget-friendly price point. The Turtle Beach headset is just $99.99 / £99.99, marginally cheaper than other headsets in the Stealth line, like the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 which is double that of this new purple pair. By sticking with its budget pricing, that pits the Stealth 600 Gen 3 still up against other budget rivals like the Razer BlackShark Hyperspeed, or the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5X.
