Overview

Introduced in 2023, the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro Wireless is the brand’s premium wireless gaming headset in Xbox and PlayStation-specific variants. Key features helping land it a spot among the best gaming headsets include robust active noise cancellation, integrated and boom mics, and a wireless charging dock.

Audio quality emphasizes bass performance and directional sound to maximize gaming performance. It has ample physical controls, including a one-touch “superhuman hearing” button, which alters the sound profile to emphasize in-game sound effects like footsteps.

Consensus

our Verdict

The Stealth Pro Wireless has good audio quality for gaming, with good ANC and accurate imaging. Left and right drivers are well-matched, and the bass accuracy is good, with a 3.58 dB standard error. The passive soundstage is poor, but the Stealth Pro works with Dolby Atmos and can create an immersive virtual soundstage. Comfort is good, with soft ear cups and a wide range of adjustments, but the weight can make it uncomfortable for long sessions.

The headset’s removable boom mic has average quality, with adjustable background noise filtering and clear vocals. The dual-mode wireless has stable connectivity and no noticeable latency on consoles but a worse-than-average 178 ms Bluetooth latency on PCs. Battery life is great, with two swappable packs providing 12 hours each.

ReasonS to Buy

  • Good audio quality for gaming
    • Dolby Atmos virtual sound stage provides immersive sound, while accurate Bass ensures clarity for in-game sounds

    • Versatile companion software for EQ and sound customization

  • Good comfort
    • Soft ear cups provide a comfortable but tight seal, ensuring good noise isolation

    • Adjustable headband accommodates wide-ranging head size

  • Clear microphone performance
    • The mic quality rating is 7/10, but adjustable background noise filtration boosts clarity

    • Adjustable monitoring with a convenient 50% preset level for in-game chatter

    • Smooth adjustments and quality physical switches

Reason to Avoid

  • Sub-par Bluetooth latency on PC

    • This headset doesn’t offer analog or wired audio options, giving it a disadvantage for hardcore gamers who may want a wired connection during competitive sessions

    • Only supports SBC codec rather than higher-bandwidth audio codecs

  • Bulky and heavy
    • The relatively heavy design causes fatigue for some users

Compared to the Razer Kaira Pro Wireless for Xbox, the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro has slightly better audio quality for gaming, with a wider soundstage and more accurate Bass frequency response. The Razer offers better microphone quality, with an average quality rating of 8.7/10 compared to 7/10. The Kaira Pro also has a slightly better non-Bluetooth latency of 41 ms compared to 68 ms. Our Razer Kaira Pro review has more details. Or, for a different headset experience, check out our Wyze Noise Cancelling Headphones review or our Epos H3PRO Hybrid review.

The Corsair Virtuoso Pro gaming headset has superior audio quality but inferior noise isolation than the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro headset. The Corsair model is an open-back headset, helping it deliver a great passive soundstage, but at the expense of noise leakage. The wired Corsair headset doesn’t support virtual surround sound but has negligible latency vs. the 178 ms Bluetooth latency of the Turtle Beach model. See our Corsair Virtuoso Pro review for the rest of the story. If you’re looking for something a little different, consider our Audeze LCD GX review.

Compared to the wired Turtle Beach Recon 50x, the Stealth Pro has better overall audio quality, with a more immersive soundstage and more consistent frequency response. Both headsets have good microphone performance with background noise filtering. The Recon 50x is wired only but has much less latency than the wireless Stealth Pro, 0 ms compared to 178 ms. See our Turtle Beach Recon 50x review for more information.
