Turtle Beach has cleaned up its apps and software, without compromising customizability.
Absolutely phenomenal sound quality, with high customizability.
Turtle Beach’s most comfortable headset yet.
The pattern on the leatherette not only feels great, but gives the Stealth Pro an air of authenticity and luxury.
Premium feel with dense, reassuring construction.
Weighty transmitter puck with swappable battery charging.
High-quality on-ear controls destroy the competition.
The first dual Bluetooth-wireless headset I’ve used that doesn’t introduce interference.
Premium luxury means premium price.
Welcome to our Turtle Beach Stealth Pro review!
Fast forward a few years, and Turtle Beach is back with a vengeance.
Say hi to our Stealth Pro review.
The Stealth Pro is quite arguably thebest Xbox headsetandbest PC gaming headseton the market right now.
The design of the Stealth Pro is just sublime.
The large ovular cushions easily encapsulate your ears, isolating audio in the soundscape expertly.
This headset is incredibly air-tight, with minimal sound leaks even at the headiest volume levels.
There are no gaudy neon colors, no silly RGB lights, and no glossy cheap-looking plastic accents.
It’s all metal, all matte, with authentic-looking leatherette cups that look as good as they feel.
Absolutely unnecessary, but utterly luxurious and that’s exactly how it feels to wear, too.
As elegant as the headset looks and feels, it’s not without a sense of hard-wearing industrial density.
The headband has a steel interior with strong flex, and metal connectors.
It feels as though this headset will take a lot of abuse, even from your saltiest overreactions.
The mic itself is of a high quality too, with a flexible, but rigid positioning arm.
The on-ear controls are also some of the best I’ve ever used.
They have strong action too, requiring some force to avoid accidental presses.
It alerts you with a tone when it’s hit maximum volume or minimum volume.
Speaking of charging, the wireless transmitter comes with two long USB-C to USB-A cables.
Why two, you may ask?
The pattern on the leatherette not only feels great, but gives the Stealth Pro an air of authenticity and luxury.
It also sports a switch to flip between Xbox and PC modes.
But how about that sound experience?
It’s thankful then, that I believe this is Turtle Beach’s best-sounding headset ever.
The Turtle Beach Stealth Pro app gives you an immense amount of control over the soundscape in this headset.
Additionally, though, is the latest version of Turtle Beach’s Superhuman hearing algorithm.
Games with specifically-tuned tactical surround experiences like Call of Duty, Battlefield, andOverwatch 2really shine on this headset.
The soundscape is also immensely impressive for detailing, balance, and separation.
In this mode, immersive and atmospheric games absolutely shine.
The headset is also immense for music, too.
The Turtle Beach Audio Hub has improved a huge amount in recent years, granting a large degree of customization over the Stealth Pro experience.
Amazing separation showcases each instrument even in busy sound profiles like the 9-man band Slipknot and other metal acts.
Okay, the audio is great on your ears, but what about on your voice?
The microphone experience is what I would describe as solid, but perhaps not incredible.
You likely won’t be creating content using this microphone, but it’s not exactly designed for that.
The comms experience of the Stealth Pro is all about sharpness and clarity, rather than warmth and realism.
It even comes bundled with a microfiber carry pouch for that express purpose.
There’s very little negative to say here, frankly speaking.
Perhaps the only downside is that all-important question of price.
Read on, friends.
Both of these headsets are in the $300 range, and come with similar feature sets.
I also prefer the design, (which sure, is subjective).
Ultimately, it depends on your personal needs.
All three $300+ headsets are great, and won’t disappoint.
Turtle Beach Stealth Pro review: Should you buy?
In the United States, the Stealth Pro is $330 dollars.
right now for direct comparisons, and I quite honestly prefer the Stealth Pro above all others.
This headset is pricey, but man, you canfeelandhearexactly why it’s priced as it is.
You should buy this if…
You should not buy this if…
It won’t, however, repair your car or grab your groceries.
Simply put, Turtle Beach has confidently usurped the best Xbox headset crown with the Stealth Pro.Bravo.
