I’ve been using the wireless Turtle Beach headset for a few weeks now, and I can confidently say it has exceeded my expectations in every way. From build quality to performance, this headset delivers an exceptional audio experience.
Sound Quality:
The audio is crystal-clear, with rich bass and detailed highs. Whether I’m gaming, watching movies, or listening to music, the sound immersion is excellent. The 3D spatial audio support is a game-changer for competitive play—it’s like having a radar for footsteps and direction.
Wireless Performance:
The wireless connection is rock solid. No drops, no lag, and the range is impressive—I can walk around my apartment without losing signal. The headset connects quickly and stays connected with zero fuss.
Comfort:
Long sessions? No problem. The ear cushions are soft, breathable, and fit snugly without causing pressure. The adjustable headband is durable and fits securely without being tight.
Mic Clarity:
The microphone is clear and responsive, with noise-cancellation that cuts out background chatter. My teammates say I come through loud and clear every time.
Battery Life:
Battery life is another strong point. I’m consistently getting over 15 hours on a single charge, and it recharges quickly with the included USB-C cable.
Design & Build:
The headset looks sleek and feels premium. The controls are intuitive and easy to access while gaming. The flip-to-mute mic is a small feature, but I love the convenience.
⸻
Final Verdict:
Turtle Beach nailed it with this wireless headset. It’s perfect for serious gamers, streamers, or anyone who wants top-tier audio without the wires. Highly recommended!

Pretty decent headset if all you need is a "basic"

I primarily use Astros for my PC but also like to use less elaborate ones for my Switch/laptop. I liked this since it was wireless and considerably smaller than my other headsets. Functionality wise, pretty much on par with other low/mid level Turtle Beach headsets.
Nothing really out of the ordinary with these. As with most other Turtle Beach low/mid range wireless headsets, this is a pretty inexpensive gaming headset with some features but not quite as premium as their top tier headsets.
The fit? Not too bad. I have a large head so finding good sized headsets is a problem. This one fits kinda snug on me even after adjusting the head band. The earcups on this don't extend like others do so they're fixed and the only adjustment you can make is through the headband. The headband just snaps into place (3 different positions) for your fit. Even on the last one, the headset is pretty snug but not TOO snug where it's uncomfortable.
Takes a bit getting used to the button layout on the headset. If you're used to using TB then it shouldn't be an issue but if you've used other brands then, yeah, will need to learn that layout.
The sound? Average I'd say. Not great but not low end. You can fine tune the sound through their application with your usual treble/bass and such. I found the sound to be sorta muted like it wasn't quite tuned properly out of the box so you need to fiddle around with settings to make it work. This being a low/mid level headset, I kinda expected this so not too surprised.

First time buying these headphones for PlayStation. Great product for gaming, Worthy product. 100% recommended and plus you can charge while you use these headphones. Mic is the key of this product you can turn off the mic by just sliding it backwards to the headphones itself. And it's clear and you won't feel the pressure on you ears. Easy to use and charges within 20 minutes. Must buy!

The sound quality is great, they sit on your ears very comfortably, and the cushioning is great. The only problem (and it's completely personal) is the adjustable strap, even the highest setting leaves the headset sitting too high on my ears. This, of course, can be taken out and make it more comfortable

Great Wireless Headset for the Price

The Turtle Beach Stealth 500 is a fantastic value for anyone looking for a reliable wireless gaming headset. The wireless connection is stable, Bluetooth support adds extra versatility, and the battery life is excellent — easily lasting multiple long gaming sessions without needing a recharge. The headset is very comfortable, with a lightweight headband and soft memory foam ear cushions that make hours of use feel effortless.
Sound quality is strong for the price, with clear audio and solid detail. You can customize your sound through EQ settings and even use features like “Superhuman Hearing” for competitive play. The flip-to-mute microphone is responsive and works well for party chat and in-game communication.
On the downside, the build quality feels a bit plastic, and the design isn’t as premium as more expensive models. The ear cups can get a little warm, and some users might notice a faint hiss when the headset is idle.
Overall, the Stealth 500 delivers excellent performance, comfort, and battery life at a very reasonable cost. A great choice for anyone wanting an affordable wireless headset without sacrificing quality.

So I got this headset after having a wired one for quite some time The wired one I have still works I just wanted something more convenient with less wires I've been using this headset for a little over a month and I have to say turtle Beach products are still doing their thing The sound is pristine I play a lot of call of duty and single player adventure games and it's like I'm in the game. I also like the fact that the mic can be turned off just by putting the mouthpiece to the headset and then turning it back on as easily as pulling it back out it has a nice snug comfortable fit highly recommend.

Not sure if i got a bad one or the issue was my computer but it kept dropping connection both blue tooth and wifi. Multiple retries at installing and updating software didnt help so returned them and went a different direction.
Physically they were comfortable and lightweight felt fine.

For The Budget Gamer

Tutle Beach is a great brand, regardless of what you may have heard. the budget gamer can do a lot worse than what they have to offer. I just needed to put that out there. Now as for this particular pair of bluetooth gaming headphones, I'm going to just say that they are really good for the price point. Again , these are budget bluetooth gaming headphones. They work great with my Switch and smartphone wiithout issue, accept, I'm not one to walk around with gaming headphones on all day either. It's really hot in Texas, and that's never a good idea. They work good enough on my PS5, but Ican definitely tell the difference between these and my more quality and more expensive pair that I prefer. The mic is pretty muted when gaming and there's more noise than I would prefer, as well. They feel like budget friendly headphones would feel like( Plastic...Cheap plastic) But, again, it will get the job done for budget gamers. I don't like using these on my PC, unless I'm watching a video. Sorry TB. These are starter BT Headphones. They can get you through a session of gaming in a pinch, but they will only hold you for so long, before you'll want something more premium. A since they are wireless, you may want to carry them on the go to a friend's place or coffee shop. This is where they should've at the very least added a mesh bag to carry them and maybe the dongle. These are not very sturdy. If you just need something quick and affordable, by all means get these, even if they're a gift, that would be passable, but if you can aford it, get something better.

This headset is perfect for all the applications that I have in my home. Phone, Playstations, PC, tablet, and Steam Deck. Comfortable to wear, great options and settings. Buttons are where I want them and I love the fold-away mic. I want a second one so I can open it up if this first headset gets damaged or breaks.
No issues whatsoever with almost a year of use. Great purchase!
