How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want marathon battery life and a console-first Xbox headset with a 50 mm driver, choose Turtle Beach Stealth 600; if you need a featherweight multiplatform headset that jumps between PlayStation, Switch, PC and mobile with a low-latency dongle and Bluetooth, choose Nacon RIG 600.
• Turtle Beach Stealth 600 — biggest strength: up to 80 hours of battery life with fast charging, plus a 50 mm nano transparent driver and a flip-to-sound mic with AI-based noise reduction on 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth 5.2.
• Turtle Beach Stealth 600 — biggest trade-off: it's the heavier, more console-flavoured build at 320 g, and the spec sheet lists no headphone jack, so wired listening isn't part of the deal.
• Nacon RIG 600 — biggest strength: dual-mode wireless (2.4 GHz via USB-C transmitter plus Bluetooth 5.3) across PlayStation, PC, docked Switch, Steam Deck and phones, in a 240 g Snap-Fit frame.
• Nacon RIG 600 — biggest trade-off: battery life tops out at 24 hours over Bluetooth and 18 hours on the 2.4 GHz dongle — a fraction of Turtle Beach's figure — and the drivers are smaller 40 mm units.
• Pick Turtle Beach Stealth 600 if you play long Xbox sessions, hate charging, and want a big driver and an EQ app to fiddle with.
• Pick Nacon RIG 600 if you own several platforms, pack your headset in a bag, and want a light, size-adjustable fit that switches between dongle and Bluetooth.
The Stealth 600 Gen 3 is built around one idea: play for days without thinking about a charger. Turtle Beach rates it at up to 80 hours of average battery life, and it supports fast charging on top of that. For someone who games most evenings and forgets to plug things in, that's the difference between a headset that's always ready and one that's dead when you sit down. The 50 mm nano transparent drivers are the largest on this page, and Turtle Beach pairs them with 20 Hz–20,000 Hz frequency response and 32 ohm impedance — the kind of spec that suggests plenty of headroom for spatial, cinematic game audio.
Connectivity is where it earns its "multi-platform" label. It runs a 2.4 GHz low-latency band plus Bluetooth 5.2, and the QuickSwitch button lets you hop between the two without digging through menus — handy if you want game audio from your console and a phone call at the same time. The flip-to-sound microphone with AI-based noise reduction handles chat, and the Swarm II app (desktop and mobile) gives you a 10-band EQ, mic adjustments, EQ presets and Superhuman Hearing. Turtle Beach also includes an assignment wheel and mode button so you can map functions the way you like. Memory foam ear pads with eyeglass-friendly technology address a real complaint for glasses wearers, and the flat, adjustable design lays reasonably flat for storage.
Nacon RIG 600: Who It's For
The RIG 600 PRO HS is the traveller's headset. Nacon lists it at 240 g — a full 80 g lighter than the Stealth 600 — and the signature Snap-Fit design lets you set it to small, medium or large by moving the earcups on the headband. That matters more than it sounds: a headset that actually fits your head stays comfortable, and the cushioned, flexible headband is described as virtually unbreakable. The WC Padz ear pads use dense noise-isolating foam, and the oval over-ear shape sits around the ear rather than on it.
Wireless is genuinely dual-mode. A low-latency 2.4 GHz USB-C transmitter handles PlayStation PS4/PS5, PC and docked Nintendo Switch, with a USB-C to USB-A adapter in the box for older ports. Bluetooth 5.3 covers everything else — Switch 2, Steam Deck, iPhone and Android phones — with a stated range of about 30 feet, so you can take a call or play music without touching the dongle. Audio comes from bass-boosted, high-sensitivity 40 mm drivers in tuned acoustic chambers, with the same 20 Hz–20,000 Hz range and 32 ohm impedance as the Turtle Beach. The flip-to-hide boom mic folds into the earcup and auto-mutes when closed, and the 600 PRO Navigator app adds custom EQ, mic sensitivity and wireless-mode controls.
Battery is the honest trade-off. Nacon rates up to 24 hours over Bluetooth and up to 18 hours using the 2.4 GHz transmitter, with a 2-hour charge time. That's fine for daily sessions but nothing like the Turtle Beach figure. Who should buy it: multiplatform households, Switch and Steam Deck owners, and anyone who wants a light headset with a proper size adjustment and a physical mute they can trust. Who should skip it: players who refuse to charge often, and anyone who prefers a big-driver, console-tuned tuning out of the box. Check the current price on Amazon if budget is the deciding factor.
• Best battery life → Turtle Beach Stealth 600. Up to 80 hours versus 24 hours Bluetooth / 18 hours 2.4 GHz. Not close.

• Best for PlayStation, Switch and handhelds → Nacon RIG 600. The USB-C transmitter and USB-A adapter cover PS4, PS5, PC and docked Switch, with Bluetooth 5.3 for everything else.
• Best for long sessions comfort → Nacon RIG 600. 240 g and Snap-Fit sizing in three ranges beats 320 g with a fixed adjustment.

If I had to pick one, I'd buy the Turtle Beach Stealth 600. The 80-hour battery, the 50 mm drivers, the QuickSwitch between 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth, and the Swarm II EQ make it the more capable gaming headset for someone who plays on Xbox or PC and doesn't want to babysit a charger. In my opinion the RIG 600 wins on weight, fit and platform-hopping, so if you split your time between a PlayStation, a Switch and a phone — or you just want a headset that disappears on your head — that's the smarter buy. Neither is wrong; it comes down to whether you value endurance and driver size or lightness and flexibility.
Not universally. It has far more battery life (up to 80 hours), larger 50 mm drivers and a deeper EQ app, but it's heavier at 320 g and lacks a headphone jack. The RIG 600 is lighter and more platform-flexible.
Does the Nacon RIG 600 work on Xbox?
The spec sheet lists PlayStation PS4/PS5, PC, docked Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, Steam Deck, iPhone and Android. Xbox isn't listed, so if Xbox is your main platform, the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 is the safer fit.
The Stealth 600 is rated up to 80 hours with fast charging. The RIG 600 is rated up to 24 hours over Bluetooth and up to 18 hours on the 2.4 GHz transmitter, with a 2-hour charge time.
On paper, the RIG 600 — 240 g versus 320 g, plus Snap-Fit sizing in small, medium and large. That said, the Stealth 600's memory foam pads use eyeglass-friendly technology, which matters if you wear glasses.
I can't quote prices here, and both headsets' costs move around. Check the current price on Amazon for each, then weigh it against what you actually need: battery and driver size (Turtle Beach) or weight and platform coverage (Nacon).
