- Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2025Color: BlackEdition: Stealth 500 PSVerified PurchaseFirst impressions. I have been gaming for 20 years, this is one of the best headsets i have owned for price and quality. Light weight, super comfy, i like that playback is default. I remember buying an Ear Force Stealth 500P back in 2014 also was a really good headset but i think i like this one more. Turtle beach has me convinced they are the best in the industry. Also i guess i didnt see that it was wireless plugs right in and goes into pairing mode flashing green on dongle and on the headset when you turn it on. Turns red when paired super fast pairing. The seal the headset makes on the ears and the strap at the top (had this on my G335) is one of my favorite things about the headset.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2025Color: BlackEdition: Stealth 500 PSVerified Purchase**Update the firmware first**
Before thinking it doesn’t work! I thought at first it wasn’t working however after reading the quick guide it says to make sure firmware is updated. Once I did that they work great.
Read several reviews of people having issues with their Xbox. No doubt they would if they get the one that isn’t comptable with the Xbox. Make sure you’re buying the right one for your console. This one is for PS5 which is what I use it for.
I like the synthetic leather better. Tried cloth/athletic mesh ones from turtle beach that claimed to be better with glasses which were very uncomfortable. Didn’t help with glasses. The cloth seemed kind of rough and irritating to the ear area. These feel soft without much clamping force. Few great with glasses on after hours of playing. I was kind of leery of the headband but it actually is more comfortable than having the plastic sit on your head with other models.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2024Color: BlackEdition: Stealth 500 PSVerified PurchaseMe and my husband both game and he had been talking about wanting to get a headset so I got him this one for Christmas. I was mildly apprehensive, as I *wanted* to get “top of the line” but it just wasn’t in the budget. So I took a chance on these, and he said it is a game changer, literally. I tried them out for myself today and I have to agree. I don’t use a headset because I wear glasses and most over the ear sets hurt after a while. Not these. Super comfortable and the sound is great. I was hearing things in my game I’ve never heard before. I might have to get some for myself. Definitely worth it.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2025Color: BlackEdition: Stealth 500 PSVerified PurchaseThis is cheaply made. When my teammates shout the headphones crackle. The power button is awful. You have to press extremely hard in and up for it to turn on. Before I could use we had to download turtle beach app and the headphones weren’t charged for setup. Over all terrible experience. I did like the fit for me personally but that’s it.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2024Color: BlackEdition: Stealth 500 PSVerified PurchaseGreat wireless headset from Turtle Beach! I previously had the PS Elite wireless headset and it worked/sounded great, but broke after about a month in due to its design (floating) headband. I do NOT recommend the PS Elite headset, and will not buy again due to poor durability
Sound/Quality: 4/5
Clear sound! Even after making adjustments via Swarm App, I just wish the headset was louder. Not too bassy. Mic sounds great, no echo and my online peers hear me fine. However the mic does not have any sort of noise cancellation so it will pick up other sounds easily
EDIT: I uploaded screenshot of my personal settings on the Swarm II app, and sounds decent to me
Connectivity: 4/5
Connection to PS5 is always solid and automatic
Mic: Flip to Mute feature issue
The only issue, I've ran into, is that sometimes with the mic will stay muted even if I flip out the mic (this would unmute the mic). The only way I was able to resolve this, was by connecting to the Swarm app, and unmuting from the app and I was good to go
Build Quality: 4/5
Seems solid so far. Im not a fan of the "floating" band design. Because the outer plastic band has higher chance to break, since its one solid piece. In addition, the clamping force is not as strong to create a tight seal around your ears. They are comfortable, but I do prefer the standard headset adjustment style opposed to the "floating" headband
Overall 4/5
For the price point of $80, its a solid headset and I would recommend this over the Sony Pulse Elite headset. The Pulse Elite did have better sound quality and mic noise reduction, however the build design/durability is flawed and not worth the price. When it comes to headsets I value price point, sound, then build quality. This is a solid choice for a headset under $100

5.0 out of 5 stars Great quality, easy setup
Color: BlackEdition: Stealth 500 PSVerified PurchaseThis is my first wireless headset, I've held back from getting one because I heard the sound quality wouldn't be as good as a wired headset but I was getting tired of dealing with all the chords with my controller being plugged in as well. Always having to move it out of the way and sometimes it getting caught on my gaming chair or tripping over it. Not to mention they were so long that it would sometimes yank my controller onto the floor risking damage now I am care free. They fit perfect and the sound is best to none. Highly recommend.
