Turtle Beach Stealth Pro Review – Design and Functionality
In our Turtle Beach Stealth Pro Review, we will discuss the aesthetics of this wireless gaming headset. It integrates design aspects available in older headsets. However, it comes with updated looks and functions.
The product does not feature embedded microphones or an all-plastic design. Instead, you will get a metal frame with plastic elements, making it heavier than similar products.
Although it has some weight, the Stealth Pro remains remarkably comfortable. The headband provides a secure yet not overly tight fit. Its thick leatherette memory foam earpads ensure a good seal around the ears.
With swivelling and tilting hinges, there is plenty of room to adjust for the perfect fit. I can wear this headset for several hours without any discomfort.
Controls
When we used the product for this Turtle Beach Stealth Pro Review, we immediately loved its straightforward functions.
The detachable flip-to-mute mic is on the left earcup, while the bottom edge of the right earcup has numerous controls.
The Stealth Pro offers numerous control options, though most buttons serve singular functions. The power button controls on/off, the Bluetooth button pairs devices, while the Superhuman Hearing button activates that feature.
On the right headphone, its button toggles ANC by default. Its encircling wheel manages a game-chat mix when linked to a PS5. It also handles mic monitoring volume for PCs.
Although customisable, the buttons on the bottom edge of the right headphone remain fixed.
Battery and USB Base Station
The Stealth Pro has removable batteries, which make it heavier and bulkier than many gaming headsets. It also has a USB base station that acts as a charging cradle. This feature makes swapping the batteries quick and seamless since it connects to the PC instead of the headset.
Key Features of the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro
Is this headset better than the other products under the Stealth line of Turtle Beach? Let us discuss each primary feature to determine what makes it worth purchasing.
The Best of the Best in Audio Immersion
After we tested this product, we can call it the king of audio immersion. The Stealth Pro brings top-notch noise-cancelling, audio and chat, plus exceptional comfort while gaming non-stop.
Top-notch Audio Fidelity of the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro
Engineers from Turtle Beach pushed the boundaries of audio fidelity. They did this to create the best-sounding headset anyone can have.
It integrates the powerful 50mm Nanoclear drivers with more surface area than 40mm ones. These can also effectively eliminate the slight differences between left and right speakers.
When we tested it for our Turtle Beach Stealth Pro Review, we loved its optimised audio cavity. We also appreciated the active software tuning. These elements help produce a detailed soundstage to capture audio for the following:
- Windows Sonic
- Sony 3D Audio for PS5
- Dolby Atmos
- DTS Headphone: X
Unparalleled Active Noise Cancellation
Stealth Pro offers the most versatile and competitively benchmarked noise cancellation among gaming headsets. It can reduce noise levels up to 25dB.
It also has four internal noise-cancelling microphones with up to 25dB noise reduction, making Stealth Pro adaptable to various situations. You can either tune out distractions or enhance ambient sounds for noise transparency.
The noise cancellation feature of this headset impressed us when we tested it for this Turtle Beach Stealth Pro Review. We also appreciate how customisable it is via the Turtle Beach Audio Hub software.
Enjoy Superhuman Hearing Mode With Turtle Beach Stealth Pro
Superhuman Hearing is a feature Turtle Beach implements in many of its headsets. It highlights positional audio cues, making it ideal for competitive gaming scenarios.

Hands-on with the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro
We tested the audio quality and noise cancellation features to share our experience in this Turtle Beach Stealth Pro Review. Before discussing the product performance, let us focus on its utility software, the Turtle Beach Audio Hub.
Turtle Beach Audio Hub
The Stealth Pro works with Turtle Beach Audio Hub, which is available via PC and mobile. It offers virtual customisation options for every aspect of the headset.
The software has dedicated sections for sound and microphone customisations, and you can switch on/off features like Superhuman Hearing. You can set it to focus on footsteps or gunshots and create personalised presets via the customisable EQ.
In addition, you can access more features, like adjusting the sidetone and sensitivity of the microphone. You can also activate the noise gate to block out external noise.
Turtle Beach Audio Hub allows adjusting the ANC settings with the slider or toggle on or off. Plus, you can access these settings even when playing on a console since it has a mobile app. The smartphone version of Turtle Beach Audio Hub has all the features and settings available on PC.
Aside from audio settings, the app allows customisation of the on-ear controls. You can change the function of the side buttons and volume wheel control.
Performance of the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro
We used the Stealth Pro for gaming to determine if it can deliver immersive audio experiences. Also, we tested its noise-cancelling features in various environments to find out how effective it is.
Audio Quality
When we tested the product for this Turtle Beach Stealth Pro Review, we were immediately impressed with its audio quality. It was a performer delivering excellent sounds. With its customisation options, the Stealth Pro becomes one of the most enjoyable headsets.
Before adjusting any audio settings, we tested its audio quality out of the box. The sound profile will vary depending on your choice of preset, but we loved its excellent balance.
Its bass was bold and cinematic but not overpowering, unrefined, or bloated. The drivers made the low frequencies tight and impactful without being boomy into the midrange.
We also loved the clarity of the mids and highs since these made gunshots and footsteps prominent in the mix. When we listened to music and watched movies, vocals and dialogues were closer than the surrounding noise. As a result, speech was more intelligible.
We tried using all the presets, but we loved the Signature Sound among the provided options in the app. It delivered a perfect balance for various content and genres. We also created personalised presets to achieve the best sound for our listening experiences.
Active and Passive Noise Cancellation
Aside from high-quality audio, the Stealth Pro provided superior active noise-cancelling. It substantially blocked most noise in our surroundings and provided us with a distraction-free listening experience. Plus, the low-frequency noise attenuation effectively reduced the environmental sounds when we used the headset while commuting and travelling.
The passive noise-cancelling of this headset was also impressive. It reduced various sounds like nearby conversations and clattering dishes. The passive noise cancellation allowed for a better listening experience, even in noisy areas.
Turtle Beach Stealth Pro Review Summary
The Stealth Pro is an impressive headset from Turtle Beach. It delivers high-quality audio that is even better than many gaming headsets. In addition, we love its customisable options via the user-friendly Turtle Beach Audio Hub app.
This headset excellently performed when we tested it for this Turtle Beach Stealth Pro Review. From high-quality audio to effective noise-cancelling, the Stealth Pro delivered everything Turtle Beach promises, making it easy to recommend.
Aside from superior sound quality, we loved the design and build of this headset. It feels durable and comfortable even when worn for long periods. This factor is also crucial when choosing a headset that offers excellent listening experiences.
We highly recommend the Stealth Pro to gamers who want to up their game audio for more immersive experiences.
