In just a few years, gaming headsets have given shape to their own tech subcategory, which it has become one of the most competitive industry. Products for all tastes and budgets flood the shelves and online catalogs, sometimes overwhelming the average user who is unsure of what to choose.

In this sense, companies with such experience as Turtle Beach are a guarantee. Until now, the Californian company has always been present in any selection of mid-range headphones, but the new Turtle Beach Stealth Pro aims even higher and they want to play senior league. Let’s get to know them a little more in this analysis.

Before you begin, it’s worth pointing out that they exist two versions of this device, one for PS4/PS5 and the other for Xbox, which are priced the same. We tried the second one, which is also compatible with any console as well as PC and other devices, so it seems like the smartest purchase if we don’t value the extra point of customization.

The declaration of intentions of these headphones as a premium product begins even before opening the careful packaging, where the brand uses the opportunity to show off its technical potential. Helmets come accompanied byn very complete set of accessories and a quick guide to help us get them up and running in minutes. In any case, we encourage you to take a look at the full manual and explore the customization options to get the sound to your liking.

The Turtle Beach Stealth Pro are not discreet or lightweight helmets, but in exchange they offer a construction quality and one comfort in long gaming sessions light years away from cheaper products where the common denominator is plastic. Despite your spirit playerThere are no loud colors or small lights that tire us after a short time.

The efforts made by the brand on ergonomics are worth mentioning rigid fit system but allows plenty of leeway for customization on any type of head and that the weight (400 grams without microphone) is distributed in key points so that it does not bother. Special mention for the design of the pads, very comfortable, not hot and allow you to play with the glasses without any problems. Undoubtedly excellent at this point.

The best way to take advantage of these helmets is with dedicated transmitter, in the 2.4 GHz band and which guarantees that there will be no delays of even microseconds. In addition, it works as a charging base for the batteries and as included two by default, we will never lack autonomy. Averaged 9-10 hours of continuous use in our Xbox gaming sessions).



Turtle Beach is integrated on the right earpiece physical checks for on/off, cancel control and Bluetooth activation. The sound is controlled by a large and precise integrated wheel, although we wish it was quieter. On Xbox, we can also use it to control the game and mix chat audio, which is very useful in certain online games, to always decide what degree of interaction we want to have with other players.

When it comes to sound quality, we are talking about a remarkable product leveling a very video game focused series and specifically in FPS. They offer a bass point that can help detect footsteps or charging sounds, and include a “superhuman hearing” feature that further enhances this point. In our tests, it works better in some games than others (again, it’s worth exploring the sound options), and it impressed us a lot in Call of Duty: Warzone or Halo Infinite, among others. Of course, keep in mind that in exchange for this “advantage” we lose many nuances of music and sound effects, so it is only recommended in a competitive scenario.

The maximum volume is not very high, but it seems sufficient for the vast majority of users. In addition, we recommend keeping the active cancellation system active, which allows us a great sense of immersion while keeping the volume at healthy levels.

He removable micro It turned out to be a pleasant surprise, especially because of how well it separated our voice from the background noise. Even in scenarios where we are not playing alone, we can talk via chat without any problems. Obviously, the result with the integrated microphone is worse, but this is secondary hardware that few people resort to when gaming for fun.

To get the most out of the system, we can use a special application from mobile and computer that allows us to customize any settings (including customizing the physical buttons) and create preferences (for playing, for watching movies) that we can load. directly into the headset.

Conclusions

The Turtle Beach Stealth Pro are excellent product, which combine a high construction level, great sound quality and all the features we can expect from a high-end range. They work with virtually any device and work well with both video games and any multimedia content.

On the plus side, it’s worth highlighting its comfort (if you wear glasses, they should be among your options) and its focus on helping players be better at their competitive games with special features. The microphone is fantastic and overall provides a great experience during long games.

As a negative point, I only lacked more autonomy. It’s not a major issue, thanks to the decision to include two sets of rechargeable batteries, but the actual 10-12 hours is short compared to the competition in this price range.

In short, a fantastic system, absolutely recommended and this should be on the shortlist for anyone looking for a high-end headphone with a focus on getting the most out of their gaming sessions.
