Turtle Beach’s best gaming headset ever has the most impressive active noise cancellation around.
Andthatprice happens to be $330.
And Turtle Beach isn’t actually breaking new ground here.
The bass in particular is quite impressive.
Many gaming headsets struggle with deep lows, but the Stealth Pro remains crisp and clear.
The Turtle Beach Audio Hub is available on both PCandmobile (iOS and Android).
The app has a wide range of basic and advanced features.
Superhuman Hearing is Turtle Beach’s way of pinpointing and identifying sounds that you might not hear otherwise.
These 10 sliders adjust frequencies in relation to decibels across all 10 audio bands.
Universal compatibility is what makes the Stealth Pro’s customization features so nice.
For multiplatform gamers and particularly those who favor consoles, the Stealth Pro wins in the customization arena.
By far the most impressive customization feature on the Stealth Pro is the active noise cancellation.
To put it simply, it has the best noise-canceling tech of any gaming headset.
Previously, that honor went to the Nova Pro, but the Stealth Pro offers a noticeable difference.
On the technical side, this feature maxes out at -25db of noise reduction at 100Hz.
For comparison, the Nova Pro hits -16db.
And on the other side of the spectrum, the Stealth Pro’s transparency mode is sublime.
Like all gaming headsets, there are inputs on the earcups as well.
There’s a toggle that switches between Xbox and PC or PlayStation and PC.
Important aside here: You shouldbuy the Xbox version of the Stealth Pro, not the PlayStation.
The headsets are identical.
The Xbox version also works on PC and PlayStation.
The PlayStation version does not work on Xbox.
The USB-C connection on the Xbox transmitter meets those protocols; the PlayStation transmitter does not.
When using the Xbox version on PlayStation, the toggle is switched to PC.
When it comes to the mics, the Stealth Pro has some nice features.
However, I wouldn’t say the microphone is better than the average mid- to high-end headset.
A feature-rich gaming headset isn’t worth much if it isn’t comfortable to wear for lengthy gaming sessions.
If you wear glasses like myself, the discomfort is often even worse.
The earcups swivel, which is a fairly standard but welcome feature.
It’s worth noting I wore these for nearly the entire work day for multiple weeks straight.
The sturdy headband is padded with the same leatherette and memory foam.
As alluded to earlier, the ComfortMax system that SteelSeries uses is unmatched for headband design.
This makes the Nova Pro feel lighter, almost to the point that I forget it’s there.
That’s not the case with the Stealth Pro, which feels tighter and “always there.”
Again, it’s not painful, it’s just notstealthyin this aspect.
The Stealth Pro is also bulkier than the Nova Pro.
The design is notable because these ultra-premium gaming headsets can also double as regular, everyday headphones.
TheTurtle Beach Stealth Pro comes in Xbox (universal)andPlayStation modelsand is available now.
Everything in the box can be stored in the included soft plush drawstring bag.
