Very strong performance for gaming and music
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!!!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

An "Elite" headset without the "Elite" price.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

My new headset Champion
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I was younger I used to think a gaming headset was. gaming headset. With consoles, I preferred first-party headsets, as I figured their build quality was the best. Boy was I wrong. I've tested so many headsets. now, and have become more and more familiar with the differences between this one, or that one. Turtle Beach, probably the most popular brand, has made more and more of a solid impression on me as they were once a brand I strongly avoided. While Turtle Beach has several solid headsets, the Stealth Pro IIs may be one of the best sets out period, from any brand, commercial, prosumer, whoever. First of all, the build quality on these is somehow amazing without feeling over the top. While the headband doesn't feel super pricey, it feels like ultimately the right choice. While other brands may opt for harder materials, the band on these fees soft, yet stable. The ear cushions have a similar feel. Like Turtle Beach really put effort in to researching comfortability as they feel perfect. Not too soft, not too firm, just right. Then, there's the audio. First of all, in regards to noise cancellation, the design itself does a solid job of minimizing outside noise. Once noise the headset is on, it ups a little, however, once I'm actively listening to something, I don't notice anything else. If people walk in your room you might not notice them, so be aware I've been caught off guard a few times. Sound quality itself...I've tested several high end headphones for review, or just ones I've purchased because "audiophiles claim they're the best" these go toe to toe with anything. The clarity combined with the dolby atmos spacial audio, whether I'm playing a single player atmospheric game, or a multi-player shooter, I'm locked in. Then there are other features that really help take this headset to the next-level and seperate it from it's competition. The transmitter dock and the transmitter is a genius idea, especially for a headset like this. When you have multiple headsets, you're going to have a favorite. Having to switch transmitters from console to PC, or whatever your set up is can be annoying. Using bluetooth (which, this headset does support)...nah. Having a transmitter dock and a transmitter allows me to connect the headset to my PS5 and my PC and switch back and forth easily....but that's not all. The transmitter dock simultaneously charing a battery pack means I'm can use this headset without ever having to stop to charge. THIS is a big thing, especially for a headset I find myself using on multiple platforms! All in all, the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro II is my new headset champion, and it may not be close. I'd strongly recommend this to anyone easily. It's not the cheapest set on the market, but you are by far getting what you pay for with these.

Stunning Design with Great Performance
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own the stealth one and it has been overall an excellent gaming headset. This stealth two stepped up a notch specially with the new design and they look absolutely gorgeous. The ergonomic modern design with rose gold tone not only brings elegance but signature of premium build. They are wireless, multi platforms adding versatility across the board. The battery is rated at 40hrs and they support Dolby Atmos and noise canceling. It works on Bluetooth or its dedicated 2.4GHz wireless band. This premium quality headset also supports high resolution audio. The setup is relatively easy just plugging the wireless receiver to the platform of choice and that's about it. Bluetooth pairing works just like any other Bluetooth device. To take full advantage of its capabilities the Swarn II app is recommended and there you can adjust all the headphone settings and update the firmwares. The main base that connects to the computer also acts as a charging base for the battery. It has two led lights indicators one works with the head set the second one works as the battery charging indicators. The brightness can be adjusted independently through the app. They main light once the headphone it's disconnected it starts blinking for a while practically until the PC goes to sleep. That part was annoying especially if you stop gaming and just stay using the PC that light just stays blinking and it's bright. I ended up turning it off. Hopefully they can fix that with an update. Using them has been phenomenal; they not only provide good sound quality but also comfort. The mesh headband similar to the one found in the Apple airpod max, makes them feel like they are floating on your head. They are very light and can be worn for a long period of time. The mesh band since it has open slots makes them breathable giving air circulation on that part of the head when they are worn. Adjusting the ear cups is simple as just puking and since the extension sits inside the housing it keeps the clean design. Sounds guilty they are great, good deep base and clear mids and highs. While they provide some type of sound damping on their own they notice canceling it very noticeable when active. If you're an online shooter type of gamer and take advantage of the footsteps amplification, this Stealth II won't disappoint as it works great for that. Battery life has been phenomenal. I have been using them for about a week, gaming around 2hrs daily, sometimes more on my days off and the battery is around 80%. What's great is that the battery is housed on the left earcup swappable. The package included a second battery so if the battery goes dead there's always a spare handy making them reusable within a minute or so. The cap is magnetically held so it easily takes off or on. The mic connects to the headset via micro USB, and it also looks stunning. It has this strange design right where the mic sits making it look like a drone propeller is black and has the rose gold tone accent too. While the design may be strange it works extremely well to pick your voices easily. I was surprised that I could hear myself breathing sometimes but that did not translate to the game I heard it myself. I don't know if that was some type of noise isolation but it was impressive. As a multi platform it can be used practically with any gaming platform. It also supports simultaneous connection and easy swapping between three platforms using three receivers. The package already includes two, the charging base and a USB-A wireless receiver. That feature works nicely with just a press of a button. While this technically not something new, it's nice that they added the extra receiver as just the charging base. Overall, if you are familiar with the Turtle Beach Stealth family you definitely will love these. With stunning design, premium quality build, that brings outstanding sound and great comfort. They are easy to use and versatile enough that for one price is a headset that can be used across the bead whether is gaming or just music listening. In the box you get the headset, mic, charging base, USB-A wireless receiver, USB-A to USB-C cable, and manuals. Final Stunning Design with Great Performance I own the Stealth One and they have been an overall excellent gaming headset. This Stealth 2 pro definitely stepped things up a notch, especially with the new design, and they look absolutely gorgeous. The ergonomic design with the rose gold tone not only brings elegance but also gives them that premium build feel. They are wireless multi-platform headphones, adding versatility. This specific PC version works with PC, Playstation, and mobile devices. The battery is rated at 40 hours, and they support Dolby Atmos and noise canceling. They work through Bluetooth, their dedicated 2.4GHz wireless connection or wired through the USB-C cable. This premium quality headset also supports high-resolution audio.

I have been using them for about a week, gaming around two hours daily, sometimes more on my days off, and the battery is still over the 80%. What is great is that the battery is housed inside the left earcup and is swappable. The package includes a second battery, so if one dies there is always a spare handy, making them reusable within a minute or so. The cap is magnetically held, making it very easy to remove and swap batteries. The mic connects to the headset via micro USB, and it also looks stunning.

It also supports simultaneous connection and easy swapping between up to three platforms using three receivers. The package already includes two: the charging base and a USB-A wireless receiver. That feature works nicely with just the press of a button. While this technically is not something new, it is nice that they included the extra receiver alongside the charging base. Overall, if you are familiar with the Turtle Beach Stealth family, or looking for gaming headphones that perform, you will definitely love these. With their stunning design, premium build quality, outstanding sound, and great comfort, they are easy to use and versatile enough to be used for gaming or just music listening. The only downside to this PC version is that it wont work with the Xbox not even with the USB cable. If you don’t mind not having noise canceling and the rose gold, in my opinion, the Xbox version gives you better value for the money since it works across all platforms. In the box you get the headset, microphone, charging base, USB-A wireless receiver, USB-A to USB-C cable, spare battery, and manuals.

Positively my favorite headset of the last decade!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The short and the sweet of it to begin this review is that this headset to me is actually worth its cost. Finally, at a flagship headset price, enough features and benefits are present that my previous daily driver headset I was using for the last two and half years plus has finally been dethroned! I apologize if this review is all over the place, but I just wanted to rapidly get out some of my favorite features of this headset and share them with you. First of all, and probably one aspect that is of great importance in this horrendous period of inflation we are in, particularly in the PC gaming sector, is that this headset is future proofed from multiple perspectives. One such example is the ability to be able swap the battery is genius for streamers or long gamer session alike and also means that when inevitable battery decay over years occurs and your total use time drops too low, you will be able to readily and easily swap in a new batter for this device. To go along with this, the dock that allows for charging your INCLUDED spare battery and switching between multiple devices (extra USB adapters are necessary for this) is incredible and allows for amazing versatility for even the most intensive gamers. To top off this versatility praise, the simultaneous Bluetooth and 2.4ghz connections is awesome for when I want to be connected to my phone and not miss important calls but also can be really engaged and immersed in my games or music with the high-quality audio, which I will talk about next. This Stealth II headset truly works as a passable isolated audio product. I found myself start walking around my house after my gaming sessions just listening to my music from my Bluetooth connected iPhone without even considering that I was still using the gaming headset for this! Shaboozey’s Blink Twice and Good News sound unbelievable on this headset, while Follow You Into The Dark from the Alan Wake soundtrack pours over my auditory canals like a flow of warm bathwater after a cold winter hike. Bass boost mode in the EQ settings on the Swarm II software really does push the drivers in an incredible manner, while the Turtle Beach signature baseline profile gives the best-balanced approach to music I have experienced on this device. Another major area for praise, as random as this might seem, is that this headset ACTUALLY gets loud! I do not know what it is, but many recent PC gaming headsets I have reviewed just have very low and garbled peak volume, whereas this with my PC over wireless connection feels like it is just hitting its audio stride at 50% volume! Another audio aspect that I love is that the ANC mode in the Swarm II software settings can be set with a slider to be changed to instead be allowed to allow ambient noise in. Excellent feature and allows me to be engaged in my environment or to exclude it as needed with the excellent ANC. The ANC works irrespective of the microphone being engaged or not! Now, as for the microphone. While it will not compare to a dedicated desktop microphone, this microphone does a perfectly serviceable job and also includes two of my favorite things in a gaming headset microphone ever! The mic not only folds to mute (a personal favorite feature as a past streamer) but also can be ENTIRELY removed!!! This is a massive win and actually elevates this on its own to one of the most versatile gaming headsets I have ever reviewed. Most headsets I have ever reviewed will have detachable but not foldable, foldable but not detachable, or retractable but not removable. For a quick mute in the middle of a gaming session, I love the analog and tactile assurance of just folding my mic away, so I know it is muted, and the headset also issues a handy tone to indicate this folding up or down for mute or unmute was successful! Very nice indeed! And with the mic being removable, I wouldn’t even be embarrassed to travel or fly with this headset as with the removable of the microphone, it just looks like a quality, albeit bulky set of headphones. More to the point of appearance and looks, this headset is built with extremely high-quality materials and possesses the heft and feel of any comparable flagship headset I have reviewed in its class. Indeed, it perhaps could be argued to carry some aesthetic qualities with features like its headband from one of the more common flagship consumer headphones on the market. This to me is not copycat work from Turtle Beach but just utilizing a formula for comfort and appearance that is proven to work for A LOT of consumers in the market. Altogether, from gaming to music to just day to day life around my home, I will give this headset a massive 5 out of 5 star rating. I am so excited for connecting it to future devices I plan to buy like a PS5, etc., and I am truly chuffed knowing that this headset will be up to the task to providing excellent versatility and ability to handle whatever I throw at it. Do not miss out on this headset!

Amazing gaming headset from Turtle Beach
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Turtle Beach Stealth Pro II Multiplatform Wireless Over-Ear Gaming Headset for Windows, PS 5, PS 4 & Mobile is my new go-to gaming headset. The comfort, the quality of sound and the different ways to connect to devices make this the best headset I have ever had. This is specifically for PC, PS5, PS4 and mobile - NOT XBOX. First thing, you will need to charge the batteries, either one or both. YES, there are two for easy game playing swap-out! And when charged fully, they should allow up to 40 hours of use, each. You are able to charge them via the included USB-C cord, either directly on the headset or via the charging hub. Next, you will have to download the Turtle Beach Swarm II app, either to your PC or phone to setup the headset. The app assists with setup as well as customization. Updates are mandatory and if you are in the app, you will find that it immediately will tell you which part needs updating: the headset, the charging hub or the transmitter. These updates are not quick, but patience gets the software updated as needed. That's all there is to the setup. Familiarize yourself with the functions of the wheels and buttons on the headset and you're good to go. The microphone is really nice on this. It easily plugs into its port on the left earcup. It flips down to turn it to the "on" position and flips up to mute. It is very flexible so you are able to place the mic exactly where you want it. And if you don't want the microphone for a particular game, simply remove it. It is not permanently attached and functions more of an accessory that can be attached if you want. I love playing games on my PS5 and with that, I don't play online so I don't generally need to use the mic. You can read all the spec's, so I'm not going to list them all here for you, just some that I find most important to me. This headset has ANC (active noise cancellation) and it works extremely well. When I turn it on, I can't hear anything coming from the blaring TV in the other room or the cars driving by my window. I just hear pure game sounds. The sound from these is absolutely next level. So much so, that when I'm not playing games, I sit at my PC with them on listening to music. I feel immersed in whatever sounds I am listening to, be it gaming or music. Everything sounds AMAZING! The 60mm dual drivers have dedicated woofers and tweeters - and that makes a difference that I can hear. I have listened to them via the USB transmitter plugged into the PS5 and via bluetooth from my PC and iPhone. The sound is crisp and clear no matter how I listen. And I wouldn't want to listen to these so often without these being so comfortable on my ears, even as an eyeglass wearer. Glasses first, headset after: perfect fit. The earcups have "premium" memory foam, so they don't make my ears sweat while wearing them at all. They are also on the lighter side, with webbing at the top to allow for a soft-touch to my head. They also include a hard-shell storage case that holds everything in its place, safely. This Turtle Beach Stealth Pro II Multiplatform Wireless Over-Ear Gaming Headset for Windows, PS 5, PS 4 & Mobile is remarkable. For comfort, sound quality, build quality and features. I can't think of one thing I would want changed. I have a lot of headsets that I tend to go through waiting to find the ONE that I love. I have now found that headset! I highly recommend this headset! 5 Stars!

Great sound, comfortable headset.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had a lot of headsets over the years. The Stealth Pro II is in the top tier. The first thing you notice is the packaging. Turtle Beach did this really well. It comes in a sturdy box that opens to a nice case. Perfect for storage or traveling with the headset. It's comfortable from the moment you put it on and doesn't tire you out from wearing it for long gaming sessions. I've also noticed that the ear cups don't get as hot on me as any other previous headset that I've owned. That's a huge bonus. With other headsets, I would always get too hot and have to stop wearing them. I've used it mostly for gaming (PS5), but also for listening to music from my phone. Both have great sound quality. The Swarm II app is what really allows the headset to shine. There are tons of options for customization. As far as the headset sound, there are options for "Superhuman Hearing", active noise cancellation, and game presets (signature sound, bass boost, bass and treble boost, and vocal boost). There are also five custom presets that you can make yourself to dial it in to exactly what you want. The second tab in the app is for the microphone, which also has a lot of options. There is mute, sensitivity, noise gate and AI noise reduction. There are four preset mic equalizer settings (signature sound, full, clarity, and smooth. The mic has five custom presets that you can make as well. You can also set the power controls for the headset in the app. You can set auto-shutoff to off, 5, 10, 20, or 30 minutes. The app also allows you to remap the wheel and mode button. The wheel can be set to mic monitoring level, bass boost level, treble boost level, or noise gate volume. The mode button can be set to active noise cancellation, cycle game presets, or noise gate on/off. The battery life is great. I've used the headset for several hours and the battery level is at 88%. This isn't a headset that's going to spend more time charging than being used. The bonus is, the hub has a second battery, so while you're playing, it's staying charged. When the headset battery gets low, just swap it out and keep playing. The battery is under a magnetic cover on the left ear cup. Swapping it out takes seconds. You can also plug in the headset (USB-C) while using it to charge it. As far as sound quality, I think it's great. I've mainly been using bass and treble boost, just because I play shooting games and like the intensity of the explosions. It also works well for music. The surround sound is great. I can tell exactly where footsteps are coming from. No more guessing. The one thing that I don't like is that when you have ANC on, you can no longer hear yourself talking in the mic. I understand it, but it would be nice to still hear myself. If not, I'm always wondering if I'm talking too loud. Overall, this is a great sounding, comfortable headset. I recommend it!

Stealth Pro II FTW!!!!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I’ve been using the new Turtle Beach Stealth Pro II Gaming Headset for about a week now and honestly… I’m impressed. I’ve owned quite a few Turtle Beach headsets over the years, so I already had pretty high expectations going into this. Luckily, these definitely lived up to the hype. Inside the box you get: * Turtle Beach Stealth Pro II headset * Detachable mic * Crossplay transmitter dock * 2 rechargeable batteries * USB wireless transmitter * USB-A to USB-C charging cable * Hard shell carrying case * QR code for the user guide The controls are laid out pretty nicely too and don’t feel confusing once you mess with them for a few minutes. Left earcup has: * Mode button (ANC by default, but customizable) * Game volume dial * Mic monitoring dial (also customizable) * USB-C charging port * Power button / Superhuman Hearing button * Mic port Right earcup has: * Crossplay button for switching transmitters * Bluetooth volume dial * Multifunction Bluetooth button * Bluetooth status light Now before even setting these up, the first thing I noticed was how premium they feel. The build quality is solid without feeling heavy or bulky. They’ve got that sleek “high-end gaming gear” look without trying too hard. The magnetic outer plate on the left earcup pops off to access the battery, which is actually pretty slick. Comfort wise, these things are like “I forgot I’ve been wearing them for hours” soft. The ear cushions feel like little pillows around your ears, and the headband is super comfortable too; which is kinda reminiscent of another headset’s headband. Definitely important if you’re someone who disappears into a game for half the day. Setup was pretty straightforward. I charged them up first using the included cable, connected everything through Bluetooth, and downloaded the Swarm II app to update the firmware and mess around with settings. The app is actually useful too, which isn’t always the case with gaming headset apps. Once everything was updated, I loaded into a game to really test them out… and wow. The sound quality is ridiculously immersive. Footsteps, explosions, background effects — everything sounded crisp and detailed. It genuinely felt like I was sitting inside the game instead of just listening to it. The mic quality was solid too. Friends said my voice came through clear with no issues, and I really like that muting the mic is as simple as flipping it upward. Another thing I love is the dual battery setup. One battery stays inside the headset while the other charges on the dock, so you can basically swap them out and keep gaming without worrying much about downtime. Turtle Beach claims around 40 hours per battery, which is honestly pretty wild. But the standout feature for me has to be the Active Noise Cancellation. And I don’t mean “gaming headset ANC” where it barely softens background noise. I mean REAL ANC. Like scary good. It completely shut out pretty much everything around me. Easily some of the best noise cancellation I’ve used on any headset, gaming or otherwise.

Great Dolby Atmos headphones that are super comfy
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super comfy headphones packed with really nice sound. Out of the box I charged the battery for several hours and started the setup process. I downlated the Swarm II App from their website for Windows 11 and walked through the firmware upgrade. This took quite some time via wireless dongle so I decided to plug in the headphones using USB cable that sped it up a bit. So first time around the wirless took too long (I let it go on its own for about 20 mins then stopped it and went the wired method). The dongle took some time after the headphones updated. The entire firmware upgrade took about 40 mins or so just make sure you are patient. I would suggest starting right off the bat using wires so you don't have to wait like I initially did. Ok. After that and getting the dongle to pair with the headphones was a snap. I then went to test on Dolby Atmos sound it did really nicely. Spatial sound top, back, below, etc was all good. No apparent latency. The frequency and range is great. Highs are crisp and lows rumble enough. The mic boom is nice that it detaches is you don't want it. Buttons are easy to use. Volume up down etc is all easy to use. Range is good. I was able to walk across the house and not get cut out. Comfort and wear is really nice. The mesh keeps you cool during long game play and weight is nice. Medium weight. Battery lasts long. It comes with 2 batteries so you can swap out if need. Comes with nice storage case too. Great headset if you are looking for comfort and to rest sound quality. All good on and for my ears. Nice standard black color.

Premium Comfort and Sound That Truly Deliver
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Much Needed Upgrade!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've always been a fan of Turtle Beach headphones because they offer quality headsets across different price ranges to fit any budget. That said, I’ve been waiting for them to drop a headset that checks all the boxes for me — and I think I finally found it with the Stealth Pro II. Design-wise, this headset is sleek, stylish, and incredibly comfortable. I can game for hours without feeling any fatigue. As someone who also uses their computer for work, studying, and school, ergonomics are vital to me, and this headset leaves nothing to be desired in that department. For connectivity, I love the dedicated switch button that lets you cycle through your devices. I can easily go from console, to PC, to my phone. I rarely use them on my phone, but hey, it’s nice to have the option haha. I also appreciate being able to alternate between wired and wireless depending on my needs or preference. The mic quality is excellent and pairs perfectly with the active noise cancellation. Immersing yourself in your game of choice has never been easier — you hear every detail, and your team has no issue understanding you. The swappable batteries are another huge plus, since the only downtime is the few seconds it takes to switch them out. The sound quality is spectacular not only for gaming, but also for music and movies. Just an overall great headset. You won’t be disappointed!

Strong contender for best on the market
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall - I was expecting something at the top of the market, and for the most part, it delivers. There are definitely some standout features here – notably the sound and connectivity - but there are also a few things that hold it back from being perfect. Touch and feel – This has a very premium feel to it. The materials feel solid and well-built. Does not feel cheap or flimsy in any way – solid and feels like something that will last. The ear padding is comfortable enough for longer sessions and does not get overly hot even in long gameplay. I did have a bit of sizing issue at first, as the length adjust is so tight that I wasn’t sure they were adjustable – this is a good thing once you realize it, however, for a couple of days it was a bit of a pain. Setup / Connections – This is probably one of the best parts of the headset. Setup is pretty straightforward depending on the platform, and once connected, it works well. The ability to connect to multiple systems at once is a huge plus. I was able to have it connected to PC, phone, PS5, and Xbox, and switch between them just using the button on the headset. Overall, you would be hard-pressed to find something you cannot connect to this. Functionality – Let’s start with the sound – this is easily the strongest point. The audio quality is excellent; in gaming, it picks up some audio details that I have not heard in other headsets. In music and any type of audio, it is compatible with the most expensive headphones. The noise canceling works really well – I don’t use it a lot, but when on, it removes all of the ambient noise and most of the voices around – maybe a bit too good on this – depend on your preference if this is good or bad. Next, the mic – overall, it is pretty good. The flip-to-mute feature (just lifting the mic up) is really convenient and works well most of the time. That said, it can be a little finicky at times and not always perfectly consistent. Several times, I had the mic in a position that you would think (based on others I have used) it would work, but it was still muted. Battery life – Battery life is really solid. The swappable battery packs are one of the better features. They charge quickly with USB-C and are very easy to swap in and out. It comes with 2 batteries and the spec says 40 hrs per battery – My experience is that it may be a bit long based on time and % that it showed, but not by a significant amount. With the two batteries, I don’t see that you would ever have a charged-up problem. Other – a few minor issues: 1. I did run into some issues with audio cutting out completely at times. When this happens, I’ve had to unplug and replug the adapter (mainly on PS5), and it usually fixes it. Not something that happens constantly, but definitely noticeable when it does. 2. There are no instructions in the box – hooking everything up was pretty instinctive, however had to go online to figure out what all of the buttons did. 3. Out of the box, they had a peculiar smell – it wasn’t really bad, and it faded after a couple of days, but just something I noticed Bottom line – I really couldn't find anything or a group of issues to take away a full star, so I left it at 5 (really wish you could give half or quarter stars, this would be a 4.75 then). The sound, swappable inputs, battery life, and overall comfort make this a top-notch headset and a strong recommendation.

Wow!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Turtle Beach Stealth Pro II wireless headset offers incredible three-dimensional sound with Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio, 60mm dual drivers with separate woofers and tweeters, and a frequency range of 10hz to 40khz. In other words, it sounds great! The 3D sounds really makes it feel like the sound is coming from different areas. The Stealth II can operate via both wireless and blue tooth at the same time so you can play games and use your phone. No more pesky phone call interruptions while gaming. By adding additional transmitters (sold separately) you can have up to four devices connected at the same time. It comes with a separate charging station and has an extra battery for up to 80 hours of use. The left earcup has a removable aluminum cover that stores the removable/rechargeable battery. At only 393 grams with the microphone, it's incredibly lightweight and the dual layer memory foam ear cups are covered in soft mesh for hours of comfort and breathability. It also offers a flip-up to mute microphone with noise reduction features. Using the Swarm app allows complete customization and equalization including "super human hearing". The advanced noise cancellation really wipes out excess background noise. It also sounds fantastic as headphones for PC or phone music and really provides an immersive experience. Music has never sounded so good! As equally impressive as the headset is the hard shell storage case that protects the headset when not in use and has enough space to store the charging station and extra battery. Turtle Beach has outdone themselves with the Stealth Pro II.

Endgame final boss headset WOW
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.WOW just wow to this headset. At a time I’ve all but given up on any sort of gaming brand headsets and went almost exclusively to audiophile headphones even for gaming, this comes along. Insane drivers with extremely good bass and clarity! Premium carrying case that the foldable headset goes in to along with detachable mic which is invaluable. The base station also can fit in the case which is both the wireless receiver AND is able to charge the now removable batteries (so good)! This like some others on the market is able to use Bluetooth while also using one wireless source audio at the same time which is perfect for having a side link on your phone or chat. Honestly I can’t believe this is a turtle beach headset the way it feels is so premium it’s just wild. Aluminum, metal build, swiveling cups, the fabric suspension headband that doesn’t leave hot spots, metal rotary dials, ANC, game chat mix dial you can reassign to do other things along with every other control you could want on the ear cups. Speaking of this has the most comfortable ear cups I’ve ever used in a headphone let alone gaming headset. I can’t stress enough how good this thing is all around. Comfort, sound, crispness, build quality, batteries, connectivity it does NOT get better than this.

my son LOVES them!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My son absolutly loves the Turtle beach wireless headphones. He mostly uses the headphones to play PC games and roblox on the IPAD. so far these headphones work amazingly on both systems. some of the things that he loves are the sound quality, the mic and sound volume on the headphones and the comfort of the pads on his ears. The sound quality is top notch. the audio detail is super crisp and enjoyable. The mic has a flip to mute that he really likes, he also says its great you can remove the mic when you are not using it. the only negative is that the headphones do not fit in the case with the mic attached. the two swappable batteries is really cool. so far his headphones have lasted so long he hasn't needed to swap batteries, but the fact that it is that easy is amazing! the covering is magnetic, which pops off a little easier than I would like, but it does the trick to keep the dust out. All in all we have been really happy with the Turtle beach wireless headphones and would definitely recommend!

Fantastic Sound, Comfort Depends on the Mesh
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Turtle Beach Stealth Pro II is a major departure in design from the original Stealth Pros (which I also own). While the previous version was mostly plastic and looked like any other generic headset, the newer model is a bold attempt at the premium segment with stems made out of anodized aluminum and copper accents. The earpads are not only comfortable but are also removable. However, I’m not a fan of the mesh headband. It’s not that it’s uncomfortable, but it’s the same suspension-style design used in the Airpods Max which have developed a reputation to lose its elasticity and fail. And just like Apple’s headphones this mesh does not appear to be user replaceable. As far as fatigue goes, the headphones are a little on the heavy side, and after about an hour of use, I can feel the headband start to dig into the top of my head and I’m constantly reaching up to lift them off my head slightly. The audio quality is quite possibly the best sounding gaming headphones I have ever used. The massive 60 mm woofers bring a serious amount of bass and the separate tweeter can reveal subtle details that I haven’t heard before in games. That said, they are still gaming headphones, so the bass and treble are overemphasized out of the box for explosions and gunshots. Using the equalizer built into the Windows app I was able to tone that down a bit and bring up the mids to where music sounds fantastic as well. Up to five custom presets can be saved directly to the onboard memory, allowing me to enjoy the same settings on my Mac, Switch 2, or PS5. However, while the mobile app allows you to switch between presets, I did not see any actual equalizer controls there. That same limitation would also apply to PS5 users who do not have access to a Windows PC. One feature I really like is that high resolution audio is denoted by a purple LED on either transmitter instead of white. This lets me know at a glance that I’m receiving a good audio signal. The microphone performance is outstanding, with or without the boom attachment. The boom is quite unique in that it has a floating microphone design. Out of the box it works well without any changes in software. I was highly impressed with the sound quality and background noise filtering and that was before I turned on the AI Noise Reduction or fiddled with any of the noise gate settings in the app. The ANC, while good, is not perfect. You will still hear higher pitched noises but those pretty much disappear once you are jamming or playing a game. The Crossplay 2.0 functionality is cool and all but there are other headsets on the market that can mix multiple sources together through USB or line-in and deliver them over wireless. This can’t do that, you must switch from one USB source to the other, which is great if you want to use the same headset between your living room PS5 and the computer in your bedroom for example. No juggling dongles and you can purchase more if you’d like. An interesting oddity is that the base station’s USB-C port is off center and there’s a perfect empty spot for what could have been another port. It almost feels like there may have originally been plans for an additional input. You can, however, use a USB transmitter and your phone or other Bluetooth source at the same time and it’ll mix the audio together, great for taking a call while gaming. One thing I noticed is the headset can be somewhat touchy when using Crossplay. For instance, in my office, where I have an insane amount of 2.4Ghz wireless devices, the device switch most of the time would not work unless I put the headphones right up against the transmitter and mashed the button multiple times. There were a couple of instances where audio would also become garbled for a few seconds, but those problems mostly disappeared if I got away from the rest of my tech. While I think my environment is a bit extreme in terms of saturating the 2.4Ghz band I do point it out because I have not had this issue with any other gaming wireless headset I have ever used. Another thing to mention is that while it does include a storage case, it is absolutely massive, nearly twice the thickness and width of any of my other wireless ANC headset cases that I own. It is definitely made for storage and not travel. Pros: - Truly impressive soundstage - Excellent microphones (both internal and boom) - Large 60mm drivers with separate tweeters - Simultaneous 2.4Ghz + Bluetooth - High-Res audio support - ANC and transparency support - Includes 2 batteries and charging dock/transmitter - Includes additional USB-A wireless transmitter - Support for up to four wireless transmitters. - Infinite battery life with two swappable batteries. - Storage case (but not travel case) Cons: - Susceptible to 2.4Ghz interference - Mesh headband durability concerns - Headband discomfort - Fairly heavy Overall – this is still a fantastic option for those looking for a premium pair of gaming headphones, despite a few drawbacks, especially if you take the time to tune the equalizer.
