Turtle Beach Stealth Pro VS SteelSeries Arctics Nova Pro Wireless / DETAILED COMPARISON

[@tylertbirch]

Man I love this guys passion, very enjoyable review!

[@XDomX777]

He is always one of my favorites! I love his on camera personality Techne loves what he does and it shows!

[@ITAngel]

I have tried many headsets due to their weight and design of them. I end up having pressure in the middle of my head. This causes me to hurt my head after long usage. Unlike the SteelSeries design using that soft elastic kind of headband which makes it so that the actual frame is not sitting on your head. I feel the weight distribution of the headset is better due to the fact is not pressing at a single point. As far as the sound quality they are amazing since you can customize the sounds from two different settings. The normal setting and the sonar setting which is by far neat feature. Also, you can hide the mic so that you don't have that stick sitting out in the way. Finally, the DAC is nice since you can still configure your sound settings without the need for a phone. Plus the bonus of having the ability to run these headsets with just about any console. Just buy the Xbox version and you can use them on PS5, PC, etc... Note I own 2 pairs of the SteelSeries Arctis 3 Bluetooth, the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless, and the SteelSeries Nova Pro Wireless. I don't suffer from having pain in my head only when I end up trying a different brand and use them in a long 2+ hour gaming session. One issue I must say is that I wish the ear pad came with a better one but there is always a wicked cushion to get them from. ;)

[@VAFAAN123]

i would choose arctis nova pro with really good comfort on your top head and other functions i really love from steelseries stuff and the batteries have really good play time with 22hour active sound.

[@BulletWulf]

Honestly torn between the two. A mash-up of them both would be absolutely ideal. Form factor and retractable mic like the SteelSeries, but the simplicity of the TB dock. If the TB came with a 2.4gh dongle or something of the sort that plugged into the dock, that would be ideal for me. Can take them out and use them away from home with the dongle without needing the base, but the base is right there to hotswap those batteries.

[@idocare6538]

I will tell you one thing about the Turtle Beach (just got them), the mic is good AND WOW, the sound phenomenal. I don't want to stop listening, even though I got so many things I need to do. I had some Astros (wired) for gaming, Bose and some Jabra for work but I am going to use these for everything. Much better experience than I have had so far, although a bit heavy on my head.

[@daviewizzle]

Thank you, ai wasn’t sure which, have had turtle beach before, but stopped working, but loved the feel. Had a Steele series and wanted the wireless, and that’s what I was going for until the new turtle beach came out. Cheers the the review 👌🏻

[@camtoczynski1891]

I bought the nova wireless as soon as I could and absolutely love them, especially since I seem to be one of the lucky few who never had issues with the ANC nub, even with the stock cushions. But the main reason I got it was because of the dual wireless (my virtuoso before it could do fine) and the dual battery system, which was a feature unique to Steelseries at the time. If these TBs were out when I bought my Novas, definitely would have been a hard choice, and I honestly probably would have gone with the TBs. But I am definitely satisfied with my Novas and do not regret getting them for a second.

[@joesipr]

they are the best , the comfort the multi console acces

[@steelsteez6118]

The novas are absolutely awesome. I have both and personally prefer the sound signature on the TB stealth pros for pc and ps5 gaming (they also do dual wireless) but honestly, it doesn't really matter which ones you have. Btoh headsets are 5/5 for me.

[@joesipr]

@@steelsteez6118 i love my nova but really like this turtle too, but the sound is much of difference in the the Tb to spend 330 more?thats my question how much is the difference

[@steelsteez6118]

​​​@@joesipr Well the TB pro is actually $20 less (they are $330). The novas are $350. But yes, to answer your question I prefer the sound signature on the TB pros as the 50mm drivers give a bit of a fuller sound in my opinion and it's more apparent in action scenes or during explosions. I also prefer the mids and highs on TB pros. They sound a bit more discernable and cleaner. But the novas also have a very organic and warmer sound to them. So really it comes down to preference. Some people will prefer the sound signature on the nova. I would recommend buying both and return the one you like less. They're honestly both incredible headsets and ended up keeping both.

[@joesipr]

@@steelsteez6118 thnkz bro

[@WhiteHartMart]

Bought the TBSP yesterday and have the Maxwell to compare. Out of the box the TB still have too much lower mid/bass bloat for me especially when compared to the fast/clean Maxwell. Last thing I’ll be adding is a huge V shaped EQ to these ;) However, a tweak or two to the eq to suit my preferences has got rid of the muddy/bloated sound and now I think they sound great. I’m fact on something like BF2042 these sound more expansive and provide better placement of audio cues than the Maxwell to my ears.

[@myrondevrede]

I really want to thank you for your fun and insightful reviews! I bought the Nova Pro Wireless and was disappointed in the sound… running through Sonar on pc was really good, but I found it seriously lacking on PlayStation 5. Enter Stealth Pro, MAN what a difference and I totally get why you say it’s more ‘fun’. It’s just so good out of the box and changing my settings on my phone is such a breeze. If you want clear sound, nova pro is pretty great, but Horizon Burning Shores was just such a mess soundwise… the stealth pro makes you feel you are THERE, so good! Anyway: a big thank you and keep up the good work!

[@joesipr]

so if i have the nova pro wireless worth buy the TB too or can pass?

[@myrondevrede]

@@joesipr I like the TB sound a lot better, but the nova pro seems to be a bit better at the soundstage. Maybe try the TB and return if you don’t enjoy the sound. For me: I sold the nova pro and bought TB en don’t regret it :)

[@jasondean800]

Well, if you’re playing on console the TB Pro’s are hands down what you want. The Nova Pro lack of adjustment on console is horrible. Side tone doesn’t work well unless on Sonar. Only get about half the options using Nova on console whereas the Stealth Pro it saves from phone app to headset so you can take full advantage of all features on console. TB for the win here, now waiting for your TB Stealth Pro vs. Audzese Maxwells. These 2 are the top contenders for console usage IMO. Great review bud!! 👍🏼

[@BruceRichwineJr]

Only reason I went with the SteelSeries Xbox version is because it works with the PS5/PC too. Just bought those wicked ear cups. Glad there is something to help solve the ear sweat and the noise cancellation nub from touching your ear. For those having issues with the SteelSeries microphone, you sometimes have to unplug the base station and plug it back in to reset the connection. Happens with Xbox periodically.

the stealth pros have amazing audio quality but tons of connectivity issues like bt interfearance, white noise when a sound plays when the transmitter is used and sometimes the bt pairing messes up and you cannot hear any audio.

Great review as always! Thanks for your passion because it is making a huge difference between other youtubers review. 👍 About the headsets. I personally go for Turtle Beach over the SteelSeries and I have the reason for it. I have currently two headsets at home :Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 and SteelSeries Arctis 9X. After maybe 2 years of using SteelSeries my left ear cup it's almost falling apart (without any of my,, help "). Therfore I will never again trust the SteelSeries headset again - specially at this price point. Besides this the mic in the 9X is a joke... Because I have two Xbox consoles X and S series I will still keep my Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 and I planning to purchase Turtle Beach Stealth Pro for my second console. Your review is for my priceless. Thanks again. 👍 🏅

[@gabrielmassa]

Great video. I really love this steel series command control. But I always loved turtle beach because of the sound it have always had. This is more important for me. I don't have those new. But I have the tb elite 800 and the a50. For me nothing beats the tb, sound wise, untill now.

[@saloontib]

Great thanks for all these videos. I mainly play Warzone and I hesitate between: Audeze Maxwell, turtle beach stealth pro and a TYGR 300R headset. Which one do you recommend?

I would really like the Astro A50s to come out with a new version for todays gaming.

Great comparison review!

[@afterrhours]

Same bro. I used to love my A50’s but even the gen 4 (current version) are kinda trash now. The battery needs to be improved and for gods sake they need to fix the headband cushion thing. After like a month it started falling out. So so so annoying. Also if they figured out a way to make it work on ps5 without needing their splitter would be great

With my bigger ears the Pros gave me that bruised feeling after about an hour of gameplay. It sucked because I liked the sound a lot. I even ordered the Wicked cushions and it didn't help. They were more comfy, but gave no extra space for my ears. Also, can you dabble with sound EQs in the phone app, or is it just for the mic? Thanks, Techne?

@@megaloth1955 Nice! So you actually max out the bass? Do you use bass and treble boost or solely bass at max and done?

[@megaloth1955]

@@bigkabuto Bass only, it makes everything sound cinematic - gun shots, explosions, story events, it gives everything a cool dramatic flair without sounding all 'muddy' like other headphones do when you artificially increase their bass. Very impressive, I think. I don't know why, but increasing treble on these adds an annoying buzzing sound when quiet. I didn't check if the buzz is gone during actual sound, but since it sounds very fun without increasing treble for me, I figured I'm good enough with just max bass.

[@megaloth1955]

Oh, and I'm only playing singleplayer games, so the mic is irrelevant for me. If you're more into multiplayer perhaps the Steelseries Nova Pro's might be better for you, as they're very positional and critical. The Stealth Pro are also positional, but in more 'entertainment' way rather than actual detecting your enemy in a split-second. I have both headsets, and going from the Stealth Pro's (when I have to charge them) to the Steelseries feels like such a bummer, they're almost boring in comparison

[@bigkabuto]

@@megaloth1955 I just bought them. So when it comes to audio preset you choose bass boost too? Or signature sound and then put bass boost slider to the max? :)

I've been using Arctics Nova Pro Wireless on my Pc with GG software and Sonar EQ and its absolutely amazing! Horror games like Callisto Protocol and Dead Space with these phones and the righ EQ elevates the experience to another level.

[@elusivelectron]

Sonar is absolutely necessary for PC gaming with the SteelSeries. The range is also amazing.

[@Spankanoid]

Sonar is a Selling feature for SS Nova so him not using it is a disservice to potential buyers.. just my 2cents having both headphones

[@corbindeadwyler3348]

Would you be willing to show your eq setting

[@Swiftynuut]

Looks like turtle beaches are my next headset, thanks for helping, Ik I’m late lol

[@Sam-zr7pj]

What would you say more for games like destiny ? I’ve had steel series before the older ones but not a turtle beach for years ??

[@SiCsoto]

This steel series is the best one I’ve had…. I hated the previous ones

[@outdawayyy887]

Would the Novas be good for competitive fps (hearing enemy’s locations etc?)

[@joesipr]

are excellent for that

[@DryUrEyesMate]

I purchased the nova pro and was shocked at how tiny and cheap they sound for £300 headset I sent them back and purchased Audeze and never been happier

[@galaxyguy4522]

I’m thinking Turtle Beach Stealth Pro 🤔 seems like a great headset.

[@punisher1498]

Are the Tb just as loud as the A50 I care more for the sound quality I’m thinking in getting the Tb over the A50s but I’m not sure or SteelSeries pros

[@Terminator_T-X3]

With the Steel Series, can you adjust the mic settings to alter how you sound?

[@Boltbacker83]

Yes you can, its night and day once adjusted

[@chrislee9221]

Great review, I have the A50s but my base no longer works so I basically a paper weight now. I can either spend the 100 bucks to replace the base or just upgrade to the TB. Anyone got any advice?

[@moop111]

Just bought the turtle beach pros, will update on how i like it

[@Leonaldi2007]

Tell me bro

[@Merkz_66]

what headset would you recommend to someone who mainly plays fps games?

[@TheTechne]

budget and platform?

[@Merkz_66]

For pc and my budget is around 300 US dollars@@TheTechne

[@LadySamurai88]

Okay Turtle is good for gaming but how is it for music? I mean you can connect it to your PS5 and phone at the same time right? How is that? And how does it sound bass and volume if i only want to use it for listening music?

[@hederg9]

Who uses a turtle Beach for listening to music 😂

[@LadySamurai88]

@@hederg9 Me! you have no idea how good of a headset that is mate. Good for gaming and good for music.

[@hederg9]

@@LadySamurai88 I just bought it today about to try it out I'll let you know how it goes 😬

[@bmwgoesvroom]

Forget to mention the arctis nova pros 40 hour battery life?

[@JoseGarcia-yq2ye]

Hello at the techne I would like to know what is the website for the aftermarket ear cushion that you get yours from. As I’m wanting to buy some.

[@Rueges]

Google is a wonderful thing..

[@deejayinzaneofficial]

yes waited for this :)

[@SgtCowbell]

OK here’s a random question I played with one headset on my cheek half the time so I can hear the kids running around the house do either of these flex enough for that?

[@tdm17mn]

I have the older steelseries arctis 7p headset from 2020, but it doesn’t offer a dedicated chat volume control. (To adjust chat volume on the fly in case it’s too quiet or too loud compared to the game’s audio.) Do either of these have that option? Thank you!

[@asmarcarter8385]

I have the turtle beach gen 2 stealth I’m debating the upgrade before Starfield comes out

[@Vangueimer]

Thank you for your help!😊

[@TheTechne]

thank you for watching

[@roberts2642]

Curious the comparison WITH Sonar.

[@tepidbudgie]

Has steeleseries improved upon the strength of the hindge attaching the earcup to the headband, I cannot seem to find any videos displaying the supposed improvement they made to the hindge.

[@Helvanic]

There is none, new headsets still break.

[@Paronic]

Am I going to have to cancel my maxwell order and get the Turtle Beach?

[@emptysoul2757]

Why

[@_SPR1GZY]

is the arctis 9x still good in 2023?
