Turtle Beach Stealth Pro Headset Review - It's Showtime!

[@GadgetryTech]

So the top layer in my video editing software was toggled to hidden for some reason. One of the affected portions (of course) was my custom EQ screen shot. Here's a link to the custom EQ: drive.google.com/file/d/18YORts9aPyB21Qa0Xw40f4zeTHg_F96c/view. Sorry for the confusion! That portion of the video has a link pop up as well.

[@xPenitentOne]

Are you planning a microphone EQ as well? Or is the full setting one of the best? (if this was the right name lol)

[@GadgetryTech]

@@xPenitentOne I think full sounded great for my voice, but mic eq varies for your own voice. Typically I like boosting 100hz a few db and pulling down 1k by a couple can make it sound nice.

[@yass_3079]

Hi i saw the reviews about the steelseries arctis nova 1 and the steelseries arctis prime which is a bit older but in the review they kinda seem equal and i really don't know what to choose and it had been on my mind for over 2 weeks. Can i please get an advice or your opinion on which one i should take. Also i mainly play valorant, apex, warzone etc. i also listen to music from time to time and make calls on discord with my friend. Thanks in advance and i really love your videos.

[@famezy9103]

@GadgetryTech bro another amazing review, thank you **Please can you tell me between the Elite Pro 2 and Stealth Pro which one is best for footsteps??? I know Elite Pro 2 is wired, but would be great to know if the new one is actually as good quality as a wired one, because after using my Elite Pro 2, I went back to trying my SteelSeries Nova 7 Wireless and I literally didn’t like it compared to Elite Pro 2 and it was clear wired is a different animal for clarity and footsteps I believe we both have similar hearing as we previously agreed that the Astro A20 Gen 2 sounded better than the A50 and same with other headsets I’ve stated recently in my comments that I’ve now gone back to wired and using my Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2 and to my hearing it’s the best I’ve heard for footsteps for an affordable price and the only Turtle Beach headset I’ve used where the Superhuman hearing actually makes a positive difference Imaging on the Elite Pro 2 is top tier and would be good to know if Turtle Beach has come up with some magic to make the Stealth Pro with equal imaging in a wireless headset

[@GadgetryTech]

@@famezy9103 thanks! both are very similar for FPS. Nearly identical tracking performance

[@Warship63]

Fun fact: I needed to swap out batteries for the first time yesterday, and to my pleasant surprise, the headset remained on when I took out the battery and switched it out for the fully charged one.

I think I have spend a decent amount of time watching reviews about this headsets and your is by far the best there is. A great combination of technical breakdown and an everydays users perspective. Keep it up 💪

[@tamir303]

I just bought these after watching numerous reviews. The only con about this headset is setting up the software, the sound is truly great for FPS games also bluetooth simultaneously while gaming is something you're always going to want after trying it. BTW you're an amazing reviewer keep up the great job friend.

[@TheQuickyouknow]

This headset seems better than I expected. I like having a different eq for Bluetooth so I can just set that to my music tune and keep my game tune separate. I don't NEED a new headset, but I'm happy to see there's an alternative to the Maxwell.

[@ICON-11-]

I love how articulate you are with your communication and it's very impressive Joe 😎. I've had this headset since nearly day one and although I can't do long gaming sessions because the weight literally kills my head, it truly is an outstanding headset with it's sound, comfort, ease of use with the app, features and functions. Amazing review as always brother!! 🙌💪❤

[@pj4433]

Thanks for the review. I don’t have a pc so having an app I can use to use EQ is a massive massive bonus. That it sounds great and especially for footsteps means I’ve just ordered based on your review

[@Br1ghtGhoul77]

I have had pulse 3D and stealth 700 headsets before. Those were fine. Great for what they are. This set is my first time entering into the premium set market I’m honestly kind of blown away. The sound quality is so crisp and immersive. Watched a lot of reviews to make the choice before I purchased so thanks for your video!

[@Johnny-Castle]

I tried the Maxwells, VZR model one, and Nova Pro wired before trying the turtle beach. Turtle beach is by far my favorite. Keep up the good work Joe 👍

[@jwlafferty]

Hearing these against the Maxwells gave me an appreciation for Turtle Beach I never expected to have. I assumed Turtle Beach was some cheap console focused brand, boy was I surprised. Interesting that you liked the Stealth Pro better than the VZR Model One (the only other pair I hadn't tried in your list). I just wish the headband on the Stealth Pro was more comfortable (pressure points on my head within an hour). No one ever complained a headband was too plush, FFS manufacturers!

[@potatoskins8155]

Are these headphones good for bass heads?

[@BluesHound100]

What a great review, especially loved the EQ comparison, super informative. Thank you

[@rorytaylor626]

Joe, you're crushing the gaming audio tech reviews. You strike the perfect balance between the objective and subjective sides of things. About the TB Stealth Pro, I tend to not fiddle with game to chat mix mid-game that much. I usually just find a sweet spot and leave it. So maybe that wouldn't bother me that much. I'm looking forward to your comparison video and hopefully you touch on the Stealth 700 G2 Max and whether its worthy of an upgrade.

[@mmanda515]

One of very few... to fully & properly disclose in video AND description. As a long time YT viewer & consumer, it's greatly appreciated when creators are crystal clear regarding any bias or gain. It's not only morally the right thing to do for the very people who support creators, it's a legal requirement most do not follow, sadly. Well done & again, THANK YOU! :)

[@molsen7549]

Man, nobody reviews headsets like you do. This channel deserves way more subscribers! Thanks for all the info, you've helped me buy 2 headsets now.

[@edtrafienical]

Firstly, this is a superb channel, and my go-to for gaming headset reviews; they are always informative and well presented. I bought my Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max based on your review and I couldn’t be happier. I also swerved the Nova Pro’s due to the lack of console software, again, thanks to your in-depth review. This review will be massively helpful in my decision to purchase (or not) the Stealth Pro. Thanks again for the great content.

[@DefeatPete]

The 1 review I was waiting for! Thanks for another good one

[@sammythatbul1667]

Yo! Absolutely great job on all these reviews. Spending money like this on a headset for casual but somewhat competitive gamers, it’s important to understand what you’re buying. Now, TBH, when I see the length of the videos I feel like I’m gonna be skipping through it a lot etc…however, next thing I know I just watched the whole video because you stay on topic and explain everything enough that even someone who is not familiar with sound terminology can understand it. Also, I feel like with you there doesn’t seem to be a bias in any way towards a certain brand. Watching your videos had me feel ready to pull the trigger on a purchase so I went out and got the TB 700 Stealth Max…(blah blah) and so far I am enjoying it. Coming from the TB Elite Atlas which was by far the most comfortable headsets 🎧 I’ve ever used and the sound was perfect for me. After almost 5 years it was time for new. Well done sir and excuse the long comment I just took an adderall. Merry Christmas 🎄 to all and remember what this Holiday is about.

[@goodmorningladies2923]

[@goodmorningladies2923]

@@joesipr why is that? I got them and I’m pretty happy with them tbh. At least I can hold down the middle button for a couple seconds to be able to change my Game/Chat mixer… OR I can do it from the app. Also, they are built way more solid than the Steelseries. I’ve had 2 pair of Arctic 9X’s and both have broken where the ear muff connects to the headband… The Nova Pros where connected damn near the same way unfortunately 😭

[@RubenBenny]

My opinion I have tried high priced headphones. And these are one of the best for foot steps and location of shooting. Even having the 2 softwares for the novas pros are not close to the stealth. If u do want foot steps from the Novas ur gun fire, plane, explosions, cars, airstrike, clusters are extremely loud and annoying. So yes turtle take it. But everyone has different ear drums on sounds.

[@corroonb]

Excellent and comprehensive review as always. Thank you for the work you put into producing this video. I'm delighted to finally have a comfortable, high quality gaming headset with decent noise cancelling.

[@Naetep]

what do you mean? did they do a update?

[@quietgameplays8246]

Return it asap. Found out is a common issue with the boom mic. They cheap out with that part after 3- months my mic start making distortion, checked thru forums for any solution, found out it was a common issue , crazy right a 3 months headset that cost $330 is having those problems. Other than that can’t complain about them but really disappointed.

[@quietgameplays8246]

Yes they got 1yr warranty but guess what, you have to send your headset give them 7-14 days after they received to send u the replacement or refurbished. I don’t really have a option at this point but just giving the new buyers a heads up

[@voraciousboss]

Great review, i have Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 and was looking for an upgrade, great review, many other reviewers are saying you have to take off mic to get the swappable battery out, glad you showed that it can be done with mic inside also. I came across your channel and i like your review depth, you've earned yourself a subscriber.

[@THEKIDSOLDIER23]

YES!! Finally someone talks about the game/chat mix that is a really big thing for me when getting a mic for PlayStation thank you for talking about this I just bought these and was confused how that worked. It is definitely too much of a hassle I play a lot of shooters so I’m constantly messing with the chat mix while playing. They could of done better with this feature I’m definitely sad about this.

Only Sony's own headsets let you adjust game/chat mix.

Why internal mics sounds better than boom mic?

[@PreenonHuq]

I think the internal sound mic sounds way more natural than the boom mic

[@WhiteHartMart]

Have picked up a set of these again, after selling my Maxwell which I just couldn't get comfortable with nor could I quite enjoy enough on FPS games. Used your EQ as a base then tweaked a little further for my preferences and have to say they have performance amazingly on the MW3 Beta and BF2042 - imaging is just fantastic and I've found it so much easier to pinpoint enemies etc. Ok, they don't hit the spot for music quite as much but I have other headphones for that :)

[@WhiteHartMart]

and then have to return them as my volume wheel isn't right - spins freely sometimes then tightens and clicks at others :( Don't trust it not to fail based on that - unless they all do it?)

[@Parahdigm]

What did you adjust in your own EQ settings and do you use Dolby settings as well?

[@WhiteHartMart]

@@Parahdigm I don't have the exact figures as I've had to return my set due to a faulty volume wheel but recall reducing the 3 lowest frequency bands especially 125 and took about 1db off 250. Also added back a dB or so to 8k. Found the original eq still a little muddy and bass overpowered but then I'm coming from open backed headphones and use pretty much exclusively for FPS.

Liked and Subscribed. There are some channels that when they say this.. you immediately do it because it is done very well.

no one happened to hear a buzz in the synopsis headset when using the super human with the volume over 70%? they told me to replace the product but it is the 2 with this problem. the noise is heard only in the xbox version when you do not play it, if I am playing or there are sounds in general I do not hear it

[@mroverreact6024]

Did you ever figure this out? I had the Same issue! Oddly when no sound was being emitted but I had SHH mode on, I would only hear feedback on the left earcup and it wasn't the mic cause I had it muted and also unplugged.

(I love the boom of explosions, gunshots, ect...) *What do you think about the Maxwell's sound & bass??* -I don't really play FPS's that much, more Souls Likes, Horror, RPG, and Story Driven Games on PS5 only. What's your opinion of the Maxwell's on console?

@@Mike_TNVol4Life they don’t have the bass of the VZR but I play adventure games and they are the best all around and you can EQ them on app too

I can't decide between the Maxwells and these Stealth Pro's. Comfort is a big factor for me too, and that's why I sold the Penrose. But I heard they fixed the comfort issue with the Maxwell's. I guess I should pull the trigger on the Maxwells, cause It doesn't sound like I'll be disappointed in them. I appreciate you responded by the way

[@chadsmith9031]

@Mike C-137 Definently get the Maxwell, I feel they have the best sound overall and bass. Just got the TB stealth pro for PS5 so I'm still working with the EQ. But the Maxwells have plenty of bass, more than the Arctis Nova Pros by alot. They are bass heavy but in a good way. They sound stage doesn't suffer from the bass like some other headsets that get muddy or drown out the rest of the sound. Just from the little time I've had with the Stealth pros(got them today) I would say Maxwell>TB stealth pro>Arctis Nova Pro>A50. Maxwells are just a really kick ass headset. And definitely mess with the EQ, out of the box it is not bass heavy at all.

[@notDroxy]

how would u compare theese vs stealth 700 gen2 max Im thinking to buy 1 of them just dunno would 150 euro more be worth it when it comes to sound quallity and im thinking using them on pc only for gaming and music, I had hyperx cloud alpha S I loved them for footsteps and bass but mic was so low, i changed them for logitech g pro x and that was total failure no bass footsteps were bad but good mic, so i just hope either of stealth 700 gen 2 max or stealth pro have same or more bass as hyperx cloud alpha S and are they lound as them aswell would appreciate any info

Great review as usual. Was looking forward to these. I really love my Gen 2 MAX for the bass so I'm a bit sad these are lacking out of the box. Still plan to try these and the Maxwell and see which ones stick. I'm a bass head but also a slight audiophile so it'll be interesting. I just want punchy deep bass AND audiophile detail! A man can dream... someone suggested me the Master Dynamic mg20s..maybe I'll try those as well.

[@asac9667]

@AmpEdition true, I was thinking that same thing as well.

[@deanhasen3220]

I have this headset, and trust me, these things have tons of bass if you turn up the bass in the app. Do NOT worry about this headset when it comes to bass. I returned the Audeze Maxwell because they didn’t have enough bass, and the Stealth Pros absolutely slam in the bass department

[@SMcConnell1992]

Hi Joe, just wondering if you changed your Equalizer settings at all and, if so, what that looks like?

[@AndrewButler-k1i]

[@BulletDubz]

If you connect to your phone with Bluetooth and have the app then you have access to game and voice mix whenever you want without needing to use the hold click etc, in fact the app gives you access to everything and if I’m gaming the apps pulled up on my phone ready for in game adjustments that ain’t on the headset, obviously they are but saves remembering what you got to do and setting what you want, and if you are using pc then you can use the app on mobile or the app on pc to do adjustments, but for gaming just keep the app on the phone up to use.

I've been using the Astro A50 Gen 1 for over 10 years now but its slowly falling apart. I want to get a new one but can't decide between the Nova Pro Wireless and the Stealth Pro. They seem very similar and do a few things that I really want like removable batteries, chat/game mix and no dongle. But the mic quality on NPW is pretty bad and the flip to mute has grown on me from using the Astro. And I play on console so Sonar and like 80% of the features of the NPW are useless to me. But its there if I want to switch to PC at some point. Which one would you recommend, when it comes to playing open world and singleplayer or laid back games, usability, comfort and build quality ?

Do you know if they fixed mic monitoring on by default everytime the headset is powered up?

[@A_New_Reality]

Wonder if Astro will make a return, their A50 Gen 4s are almost like 4 years old now

[@Bizzy31Oer]

I think ASTRO fell out the game when they didn't make a splitter for the optical cable fir the series x and s without that optical port the sound is horrid and does not sound like a premium mic anymore. I had to put mines to rest because the audio through USB just sounds so terrible

[@XLargeEric]

Thanks for this and also the comparison video ! Was about to buy the Steelseries Nova Pro but didn´t like the mic as it looks like it don´t keep it´s position and misses the flip to mute funktion. Your video brought the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro to my radar and in the end I´ve bought it. And this video helped my enormous to set it up.

that what nova have better u can hide the mic , is retachable

[@XLargeEric]

@@joesipr I know. But I use my headset only on my desktop PC and prefer a mic that stay adjusted to one position. This way I don't have to mess around with the setting because the mic changes the distance to my mouth when I touch it while hang the headset to its parking spot.

[@joesipr]

@@XLargeEric but bro u talk like the mic was hard to adjust , hide and detach easy

[@XLargeEric]

@@joesipr I don't want to adjust it as it would require to always mess with the voice activation level and output level when its adjusted even only slightly. Had this issue on previous headsets and don't like to struggle again. On the Stealth Pro the mic arm keeps its form and can stay where it is. Only movement is flipping it up when not needed.

[@joesipr]

@@XLargeEric with all respect i dont know what headset are u talking about , but the novas pro wireless not are

Hi, I really love your content, and I really loved my TB Stealth Pro until the latest firmware update which I was forced to install because otherwise I couldnt use the APP anymore. Can u please reach out to TB and help us out?. After the latest Firmware Update the base unit quit powering on when I power on the Xbox. This only happens if the Xbox has been powered off for at least a few hours. Doesn't matter how you power off the Xbox (I.e. Holding the power button in for 10secs, or shutting off via controller) it has to be powered off for at least a few hours and then the base unit doesn't power on with the Xbox. The only work around I have found is to unplug and replug the USB C from back of base unit or restarting the Xbox after waiting several minutes after it powers on.

[@joesipr]

my issue was that now when i used mi headset in ps5 the volumen is a low , that updated was a shit

[@WhiteHartMart]

Have been searching YT every day waiting for this. The only review I need 👍 Love that they have moved away from the thick/muddy/boomy bass default sound though. Did I miss your eq settings though - couldn't see the screen of the settings?

[@Mrplayer13]

Can u make it to where it won’t take the phone call at all?

[@THEKIDSOLDIER23]

So the ps5 version doesn’t get the chat mix dial feature only Xbox??

[@Fexioo]

Just got these for xbox series x, when I power on headset the transmitter doesn't turn on, I have to unplug transmitter and replug and instantly turns on and connects to headset. Is there anything to fix this??

[@asgsoundGresch]

Hi, I have the exact same problem after the latest FW update.

[@anthonybostock7515]

Top quality video again can I ask a question when running these on a PlayStation 5!would you run it with a 3-D audio running or would you just let the headset do its work itself?

[@brecht004]

Can u compare steelseries arctis nova pro wireless, Tutrle beach stealth pro,Audeze Maxwell, JBL quantum 910X

[@adrianlugo1130]

Do you have tye eq settings for the beoplay portal when connected to Xbox? Im struggling to make them sound more open or less digital

[@julianmckay2099]

Can anyone tell me if bluetooth to pc for discord and pairing to xbox for game works

[@olivierk0371]

Great review, thankyou!

[@johnspellman6665]

Hi Joe, been using your EQ for the Stealth Pro and I think it's great. Thank you for putting in so much effort on this. You are an asset mate. Just a quick question if I may? If the vocals still sound a little fainted or muddy what band would you recommend changing? Would this be the mids? i.e 1k band? Also, just returned the Maxwell's. the sound was fantastic on those but just couldn't get the right fit and they were just a tad too heavy for long sessions. In contrast I think the Stealth Pro are just as good from a gaming perspective and believe the difference is very marginal. Anyone on the fence this is a beast of a headset. Just wish it was a tad louder. Thanks again.

[@felixibarra572]

@johnspellman6665 yo can you lmk where he showed is EQ settings in the video? Timestamp please. I watched the section where it says EQ settings but he only showed the basic settings and left them all at 0%. Thats where my headset is now out of the box... Would appreciat the help!

[@laetenh637]

@@felixibarra572you find it?

[@martin919]

Do I understand it correctly: there is no game/chat mix option on the PC? Only on the XBox? Because I only use PC and need Game/chat mix. Should I then rather take the PS5 version? Thanks

[@marcwebster1913]

Great review thanks...I need to replace my Astro A50, of which I have had 2 over the past 8 years, so would you suggest the stealth pro over the 700? - there is an Amazon BF offer of £100 off the Stealth at the moment, so both priced at £179.99 in the UK? TIA

[@MSKH1970]

Dope video and i'd like to see u review more Studio headphones as well [ for audiophiles in us ] 🔥🔥🔥

[@PuMaInMe]

Is it tue that the Xbox version does not support the Tempest 3D audio of the Playstation?

[@krystianmysliwiec1151]

Hello Tech . Want ask about opinion with FPS gakes . Turtle stealth Pro or pulse elite . ??

[@morgangriffin9312]

With stealth pro would you use this eq setting on the app or would you use the eq settings you've done on other videos for dolby atmos I'm on series x btw.

[@Pordar210]

Could you use sonar software with this headset or is it not needed?
