TechRadar Verdict
The Turtle Beach Stealth 500 is a decent, budget-friendly wireless headset.
Costing $79.99 / 79.99 / AU$139 this headset is far from a premium product.
While not essential, theyre an extra flair that most of the budget-friendly headsets I’ve tested dont offer.
Its 40-hour battery life offers double the time of theRazer Blackshark V2 Prowhich costs slightly under double the Stealth.
The 40mm drivers help provide powerful spatial audio, which is supported by the Superhuman audio setting.
You’ll hear every whisper and footstep with the Superhuman setting which will help you react in ample time.
Premade audio profiles available through the Swarm II app also help to make the quality of your experience better.
The mic quality is also good.
It’s clear in a call, but quick to peak and cut out with loud noises.
