Turtle Beach Stealth 500 review: “a fantastic headset in isolation”

Turtle Beach Stealth 500 gaming headset being held by a reviewer against a wall with blue lighting.

Turtle Beach has lived in the mid-range and entry level price brackets for years now, with the Stealth line leading the flagships. May brought about two new Stealth models, the mid-range Stealth 600 and the lower mid-range Stealth 500. What’s the difference? About $20. The Stealth 500s are really a plug for those who can’t quite meet that $99.99 price tag of the third generation 600s but still want a solid headset for their cash. 

The $79.99 / £79.99 cups still have plenty of competition, but moving further away from that $100 position means they’re able to drop more features and prioritize audio quality while keeping that price relatively low. They’re not going to give some of the best gaming headsets in the premium range a run for their money, but they still offer a solid experience all-round.
