Quick Time Review: Turtle Beach Stealth Pro

Pros

  • Next-level sound quality is top-tier and makes any game on any platform better.
  • Mic monitoring is next level and adds layers to not just gaming, but streaming and everyday listening.
  • Dock providing different status lights allow for a quick update on mic mute and battery charging status.
  • Hot-swappable batteries are great and each last for 12 hours or more.
  • Gaming mic sounds good when attached, but is removable and the headset has a built-in mic for Bluetooth calls.
  • Turtle Beach app allows SUPER detailed personalization of almost everything on the headset.

Cons

  • Power button feels like its in an odd place and is frustrating to turn the headset off.
  • Sometimes the light indicators on the dock can be distracting

In Summary

I’ll be honest, when any product comes out swinging saying they are the “king” or anything of that sort there is a nugget or two of doubt that are placed in my head because it’s a very cocky statement to make. That being said the Stealth Pro’s are easily the current kings of the castle. Using the Turtle Beach app to fine-tune everything from Bluetooth EQ (yes you read that right) to the levels of mic monitoring is just something you don’t get anywhere else. Plus, the game audio in everything from my N64, to my PS3, to my Switch, to watching Season 3 of Picard sounded better than I could have ever expected. My only nitpick is the damn power button, its just in a weird spot for me and I press the mic on/off button by accident. Let me tell you too, as a streamer and having the mic monitoring on it helps a lot with being able to hear yourself without the need of additional apps and my surroundings as a whole (especially with a very, very curious puppy around now). I do wish the battery packs lasted longer before being swapped out, but I have been spoiled by the MAXs from that and really, those packs charge fast.

If you are in the market for a high end gaming headset then this is the one to go for. I bend my knee and provide the crown to the king.

Final Score: 9.5/10
