Very strong performance for gaming and music
The Stealth Pro II is a versatile gaming headset that delivers strong real-world performance.
Design and Connectivity
The headset has a detachable mic boom, so it can pass as a regular pair of headphones for music. A mesh band on the head bridge helps keep my head cool during long gaming or music sessions.
The headphones are battery swappable and they come with an extra battery for a rated total play time of 80 hours. The charging dock has dual role as a transceiver. The headset also comes with a USB transceiver. The extra battery and swappable capability are indeed useful.
As for connectivity, the headset supports both PC and Playstation wireless radio connectivity, as well as Bluetooth and wired. The headset can connect to both Bluetooth and Wireless Radio simultaneously and it works great connecting both my PC and my phone.
The headset carries Japan Audio Society certification for ultra-low-latency Hi-Res Wireless Audio, allowing high-resolution wireless playback through the USB transceiver or dock. On the hardware side, the headset is equipped with 60 mm Eclipse Dual Drivers.
The headset comes with a travel case to fit everything.
Performance
The 60 MM Eclipse Dual Drivers and wireless Hi-Res transmission deliver their job really well. The headset is such a pleasure to use for both gaming and music listening.
I’ve been playing Helldivers 2 and the headset gives me a great time. My voice is clear and easily understood by the other players. Gaming sessions feel alive with sounds and background music not being overwhelming; the dynamics and sound clarity are there. This headset is plenty loud.
Audio positioning does not work as great as I expected, but that’s probably due to Dolby Atmos related issue, or even the game itself. I’ve been using other headsets and audio positioning does not work that great, either. But all in all, this is such a great headset to play games thanks to its strong audio performance and also ergonomics design. I can use the headset comfortably in long gaming sessions.
For music, the sound is exceptionally clear using the wireless radio transmitter, with a more balanced tuning that I really enjoy.
Conclusion
Overall, it’s an excellent all-around headset for both gaming and music, with a premium design that looks like a standard pair of headphones. The extra battery and charging dock that doubles as a transceiver is just awesome and unique to this headset.

Feels as Good as it Sounds!!!
If you’ve ever put on a headset and instantly thought “yeah, this is different,” that’s exactly the vibe the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro II gives off. The Stealth Pro II is one of those rare headsets that nails comfort, sound, and features right out of the gate. This is one of those headphones that not only sounds good but also feels good. So, lets dive right into the Stealth Pro II.
Comfort:
Let’s start with something that matters the most because yeah you can have headphones that sound amazing but if they are not comfortable to wear for an extended period than they are useless. Well, no worries here. The Stealth Pro II have soft memory foam ear cushions that are breathable and the ear cups are slightly turned inward to comfortably sit over the ears and on top, the Stealth Pro II feature a mesh suspension head support. The headphones don’t clamp down to hard and are light weight making that all-nighter more enjoyable.
Setup and Design:
I love the exceptional design and build quality of these headphones, everything from the packaging to the headphones just feel premium. The headphones come with a very nice carrying case. Inside the case you will find the Headphones, a removable microphone, 2 batteries, battery charging base, USB dongle, and nice long USB to USB-C cable.
Max Range: 60 ft
Weight: .87 pounds
Battery Life: 80 hours
Before you can actually use the headphones, you will need to perform an update. To update the headphone, you will need to download the Swan II app. The app is user friendly and will guide you though the process of updating the firmware and getting them ready for your first ride. The app is also very useful is setting up the ANC, Volume Controls, Presets, Mic settings, Mic Noise Reduction and also allows you to reassign some physical button controls.
There were some features that really stood out to me on these Stealth Pro II headphones. First off all was the ANC. I have tested out quite a few headphones over the years and there have only been a few headphones where the ANC was spot on blocking out excessive outside noise and the Stealth Pro II are right up there. I have a 3-year-old who loves to get in the game with me while I am yelling at my team mates and he loves to join in while running around the room, and the ANC on both the headphones and the Mic AI noise reduction was able to cut the noise level down by almost half, if not more. The ANC is adjustable, so you can also set it to your preference. It’s not over-aggressive, but it does a great job of cutting distractions and making everything sound a bit more immersive. Also, the mic is super easy to mute, just flip up and it mutes.
The second feature that stood out to me was the versatility. You can bounce between Xbox, PlayStation, PC, and even mobile without it turning into a whole process. I was able to connect the headphones with my PlayStation while being simultaneously connected to my phone in case my kids set the house on fire and my wife needs to reach me. These headphones can be connected via the USB Dongle, wired connection or Bluetooth.
Lastly, the battery life was another one. Technically, if you are not using these headphones on the go, you will never run out of juice and let me explain why. The headphones come with 2 batteries, so while you’re using one the one charges and incase you forget to charge both and they both die out on you can you always go wired connection, so you always have power for these headphones. But I don’t know why you would not use these headphones to listen to your favorite tunes because they sound amazing, which brings me to the most important point the sound quality.
Sound Quality:
The Stealth Pro II are powered by 60mm Eclipse driver with Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio that puts you right in the middle of the game. You can clearly pick up footsteps and directional audio in competitive games, but it also shines in story-driven stuff where you want that cinematic feel. The bass hits nicely without drowning everything out, mids are clean (voices and dialogue come through naturally), and the highs stay sharp without getting annoying. One cool feature with these headphones and honestly kind of felt like cheating was the “Superhuman hearing” option. This feature allows you to enhance the audio on certain attributes of the game such footsteps, and gunshots. I used the footsteps option a lot and it didn’t turn me pro, but definitely helped out a lot. I was easily able to determine the direction of travel without having to mess with my audio settings every time.
And when you’re listening your favorite tunes, the audio just sounds amazing, the music is clean, pure, no distortion enjoyable almost putting you in that audiophile trance.
Not so Good:
The only thing that stood to out to me was the amount of volume control wheels on the back of the headphones. Until you figure out and get you used to which button or wheel does what it does get easy to mix them up.
At the end of the day, the Stealth Pro II is one of those headsets that makes you wonder why all headsets don’t feel and sound this good. It’s comfortable enough to forget you’re wearing it, sounds so immersive you might start blaming your teammates less (no promises), and packed with features that actually matter. Whether you’re grinding ranked matches or just vibing to your favorite tunes, this headset shows up and shows off. This is one set that I would definitely recommend.

Great choice for gaming, not for audiophile music
These are boxed nicely, and everything just speaks of the build quality and visual appeal.
Included in the box with the headphones with a nice zipper case, a wireless USB transmitter, a “Cross Play” transmitter dock, USB wire and a QR code to download the Turtle Beach app.
The headband has a soft woven mesh that supports comfortably, and even though the headphones are a little heavy at 393 grams, they do not feel heavy while using. The ear cushions are also a woven fabric, with dual layer memory foam. The ear adjustments are not “click”, rather a “friction lock” for infinite adjustment. The construction is anodized aluminum with chrome accents. The clamping pressure was not excessive. Overall, these are some of the best looking and most comfortable headphones I have used. And, these can be used with glasses comfortably.
These are hi-Res Certified 24-bit/96kHz wireless audio via Bluetooth® or USB wireless with support for LC3plus & LDAC.
They have advanced active noise cancellation. I did test the noise cancellation, and it is very effective at muting surrounding noises.
Another feature is the “CrossPlay 2.0” It lets you switch wirelessly from up to 4 audio sources. Included with the headphones is the USB wireless transmitter, and the “Cross Play” transmitter dock, for two sources. Additional USB wireless transmitters can be added. Also, simultaneous USB Wireless + Bluetooth® for PC, PlayStation® and mobile devices.
The dock also houses an additional battery that can be charged as a spare for the headphones. The headphones have a magnetic cover that pops off for quick battery change. This gives as much as 80 hours of use.
The drivers are 60mm “ Eclipse™ Dual Drivers”, and the frequency response is rated at a remarkable 10Hz to 40kHz. Dolby “Atmos® Spatial Audio” provides an immersive 3D sound for gaming.
Some of the controls are game volume, variable mic volume, Bluetooth volume, an assignable mode, power / superhuman hearing, Crossplay, and Bluetooth MFB buttons.
The microphone is uni-directional, detachable and flip-to-mute. Response is 100Hz to 16kHz.
I tested these headphones on both gaming and music sources. These have definitely been designed with the focus on gaming. Using while gaming brings a dynamic “punch”. The lows are incredible, and bring the dynamics and effects to life. The app allows using customizing macros for individual games, or create your own.
When auditioning with music, the obvious downfall was that the treble is recessed, and not balanced with the lower audio spectrum. These are designed for gaming, and for that, they are remarkable, but what could have a complete home run, falls short. Be advised, I would not recommend for musical audio. With a different tuning, these could be an excellent all around set of headphones...... However, I would still recommend as an excellent choice for gaming. For that reason, I still give 5 stars.

Premium Comfort and Sound That Truly Deliver
After spending a few days with the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro II Wireless Gaming Headset, I can confidently say this is one of the most comfortable gaming headsets I’ve used. The mesh headband not only gives it a sleek, modern look, but it also distributes weight really well. I’ve worn it for long gaming sessions without any pressure or discomfort, which is a huge win.
Setup was extremely easy and stress‑free. The companion app makes adjusting settings simple and intuitive. I was able to tweak audio settings directly from my phone while gaming on my PS5, which felt seamless and convenient without interrupting gameplay.
Battery life has been excellent so far. One feature I absolutely love is the ability to quickly swap batteries using the charging dock. There’s no need to plug in and wait—just swap the battery and keep gaming. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference during longer sessions.
Sound quality is great across the board. Audio is clear, immersive, and well balanced, whether I’m gaming or using it more casually. Everything from subtle background sounds to intense action comes through nicely.
Overall, this headset feels premium, well‑designed, and clearly built with gamers in mind. If you’re looking for comfort, ease of use, and solid performance all in one package, this headset delivers.

An "Elite" headset without the "Elite" price.
I've had quite a few Turtle Beach headphones in the past, including their newer Stealth 700 Gen 3, which I thought was great and was super impressed with the additional dongles for cross-platform connections. However, I have since moved away from those in favor of another "Elite" headset with much higher audio quality (and price, lol). So, when I heard the new Stealth Pro II's were coming, which seemed to take what the 700 Gen 3's have, but to the next level, I was super excited!
Given the drivers and audio quality I'd imagine these would have at their price range, I also wanted to directly compare these to my more expensive headphones, just for fun, as well. So, for those interested, I'll throw in some comparisons here and there within this review, just so you know how this higher end of the mid-range headset holds up compared to the competition and higher priced headphones.
I do want to preface this review with the fact that I also have the original Stealth Pro's and I'm just going to go ahead and say, at first I was impressed with them, but that quickly waned and I moved on shortly after - they just had so many bugs and other various issues at Launch. I am happy to say that will NOT be happening with this newest iteration!
So, first up is the unboxing, as I usually start my reviews with this. Because, I mean, if you're buying a new product, you're also buying the experience. At least, I like to think that way. Especially for anything in a "multi-hundred dollar" price range. So, with that being said, the unboxing does feel premium! The box is nice and made of a heavy cardboard stock. It lacks filler inside, as upon opening, you're greeting with the case itself, which has a nice premium feel to it. Inside, you'll find the headset, one extra USB dongle and all the other usual accessories - the USB-C charging cable, detachable mic, etc (everything is included in my pics). I was kinda bummed though, as I know pre-orders for this product through Turtle Beach themselves gives you an extra USB dongle for pairing to an additional device (3, instead of the 2 you get with just what's in the box). Anyway, everything is packaged really well.
Now, for the setup! I used these exclusively for my PS5 Pro and I already had the Swarm II app installed from using my Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3. Let me go ahead and say that this is one thing Turtle Beach absolutely excels at. I don't think I've ever really had a setup issue with a new headset since using their Swarm II app. Simply plug in the charging dock/base station to your device of choice (again, PS5 Pro for me), along with your other dongle(s) to any other device that is powered on. Going into the Swarm II app after turning on the headset automatically detects them. You just connect them to your phones Bluetooth and away you go. Setup does take a very long while, though and I loved that the app suggested going to make a cup of coffee while you wait, lol. Seriously though, it took almost 30 minutes. Oh and make sure you charge them up before the setup process. Once all the firmware is updated, you're greeted with the app settings and such, which I will cover later.
Now, for the champ of the show. I want to say that the build quality of these headphones are super premium. While not AS premium as my "Elite" pair of headphones, I'm very happy with it. Adjusting the sides at first were a paid, it took quite a bit of force to get them to initially slide out for adjusting to fit my head. I also love the fact that all of the wheels/knobs are more stiff and take more effort to turn. That was my biggest issue with the Stealth 700 headphones, the slightest touch would dial the knob and if not careful, volume would be really loud without you knowing about it. This has not been an issue for these cans at all. I also want to say that the base station for these is nowhere near as "obnoxious" as it was for the original Stealth Pro's - I hated that one and it felt super cheap. This one feels hefty and I have no issues with it. I also love that you can adjust the brightness of both the LED ring of the station AND the battery indicator light for the battery that is on charge - this is a huge win! For the dongle, I love they added a little pop of color with the purple logo on the dongle itself. It stands out from all of my other ones. I love the mesh canopy on top of the headset frame that sits on your head. It's super comfy, as are the cushions themselves. Most Turtle Beach headphones use a memory foam cushions with a pleather-type material. While this has never been uncomfortable for me, I love the more fabric approach to the Stealth Pro II's. They still use memory foam and they do not seem to get hot at all (to be fair, I've never had a heat issue with their other cushions, either), even after extended use. Honestly, with the weight, the mesh canopy and the ear cushions combined, I honestly forget I'm wearing headphones. Also, I have super oily skin, so I LOVE the fact that when I'm done, they cushions and head strap are not slathered in oils, which is something I cannot say about my other "Elite" pair of headphones.
The audio quality, oddly enough, is going to be the shortest section here because, well...these absolutely rock! I always go with the "Bass and Treble" boost option in my settings and it's never failed me yet! Everything is so clear, crisp and detailed. I can hear everything independently and nothing seem to override any other thing in the sound department. I have played a wide variety of games with these cans and they slam on everything I've tried! I have played the following: Black Ops 7, Saros, Pragmata, Hades II, Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred, Arc Raiders, Nioh 3 and Crimson Desert. All sound equally amazing in their own right. I only have one issue and that is related to the volume overhead (how loud they get), which I will touch on, below. Additionally, the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is nice and when on, they do their job. Although using the slider to adjust between the "Ambient" and "ANC" spectrums of the slider leave a bit more to be desired, as far as actually being able to tell a difference. Oh! And I want to say as far as pure audio quality, these do rival my "Elite" pair of headphones that cost significantly more. I even tested them on rotation for a few days and once I got the volume levels equal between the two, I could barely tell them apart. There was a small advantage that the "Elite" pair had over these, but it was so marginal, I couldn't justify the cost difference!
As for the app side of things, that's great as well. My only real complaint is, I wish it would just auto-connect when launching the app. Instead, I have to click "get connected" every single time at the bottom. A minor annoyance that I've just learned to deal with. Outside of that, the app handles all the firmware updates. The first tab has your volume slider, when you can see change in real time when scrolling the wheel, or you can move the slider with your finger. There's also the "Superhuman Hearing" option, which I never use (it makes footsteps louder, but everything else sounds really bad). Then we have the ANC option, that I mentioned above. Below that are your EQ presets, along with a Custom EQ option, which I love! The second tab is for your mic and all related settings. The 3rd tab allows you to view your connections between the Headset, Charging HUB and Transmitters (dongles), as well as adjusting the brightness levels. Finally, the 4th tab handles all your firmware updates and status information. Overall, it's a great app and I never lose connection, once connected, until I turn the headset off.
Now, for my last bit. I have had a few small bugs I've experienced, but nothing game-breaking. Turtle Beach - if you're reading this, here's some feedback for you:
My first issue is with ANC off, any natural room ambience sounds almost "fake" or "robotic", almost like it's going thru a filter, which is the reverse effect of what turning ANC on should do, lol. Additionally, the volume overhead isn't great with ANC off. I have to turn it up to about 2 clicks away from max volume to listen at "normal" levels I'm used to - including a level to match my "Elite" headphones. Turning ANC on eliminates this sense of having a "filter" on and sounds great. It even pumps the overhead volume up more, to the point where I can turn it down some...along the lines of about 3/4 volume or a little less. Otherwise, everything is too bass-heavy and overblown. It's almost like turning ANC on just cranks the bass and ups the volume level. Honestly? I'd love to see an overall volume overhead increase across both ANC off and ANC on modes.
My second issue is within the app. On the 3rd tab, under "Headset", it displays the Platform Mode as "PlayStation", which is correct. However, when going over to the Charging Hub option, it displays the Platform Mode as "USB-PC", which is incorrect. So, I'm not sure if this contributes to the volume overhead or not, or if it's just a simple display error. But I feel this should also reflect "PlayStation" as the Platform Mode as well, to match what the headset one indicates. Especially given the Charging HUB is what is actually plugged directly into the PS5.
So, in conclusion, If you want an "Elite" sounding pair of headphones at the cost on a higher side of "Mid-Range" pair of headphones, these are what you want. These are seriously borderline high-end audiophile headphones for gaming. The build quality is excellent, the app is top-notch and sound quality is beyond amazing. Sure, there are a few "launch-day" bugs with the small issues I mentioned, but this wouldn't be anything that couldn't be ironed out in a few firmware updates! Turtle Beach typically does an excellent job supporting their product. Heck, even my Stealth 700 Gen 3's are still getting updates!
If you're in the market for a new pair of headphones, definitely give these your biggest consideration. 5/5!
