Turtle Beach Stealth 500: In-Depth Review
The Turtle Beach Stealth 500 takes our top spot due to its exceptional value, balanced audio, and easy Xbox Series X/S connectivity. While the design isn't groundbreaking, its lightweight and durable build is comfortable for extended use. Sound quality is superb, exceeding many budget headsets with clean bass and well-defined mids and highs (at moderate volumes). The Swarm II app allows for customization, and on-headset controls provide quick preset switching. Wireless convenience is coupled with Bluetooth 5.2 support for broader device compatibility and an impressive 40-hour battery life.
