Stealth 500 Wireless Multiplatform Gaming Headset for Xbox, PC

This is a great headset for the price. I’ve been gaming for years with all different brands and I finally came back to the TBs. I love them. Very comfortable, great sound, easy to switch between pc/xbox/iphone. I use them for gaming and to listen to podcasts at work. My only small complaint is that I wish a piece of foam came over the mic to eliminate some background noise

Works great! Comfortable and good quality

Turtle Beach has had a very good reputation many, many years ago, and I was looking for a budget friendly gaming headset. I see this product came out to the market approx April 2024 this year, and that as a promo, Amazon Vine (and possibly other major retailers) working alongside Turtle Beach, gave out this item for free to reviewers to write an honest review. Well, I am NOT one of them but my review IS Honest. I purchased this item reading what I thought were honest reviews. Quite a few reviewers failed to mention that the Firmware Update is Mandatory for this Item to Fully Function, AND that it takes at least an Intermediate to Advanced IT Person to figure out that if you want to use this item on Windows 11, the installation will shut down every time if you don't configure the Setup file for compatibility. ADD to this mess, even if you're lucky to get the software installed, You will then need to use your phone to download the APP to complete the Firmware update! It is a 3 STEP PROCESS THAT TOOK ME 5 HOURS. Whenever I go back to the PC app, the app says device disconnected even when I turn the headphones on. Another glitch right there. ALSO, the USB Transmitter Dongle will be Flashing RED. This does not mean it's not working as it's working for me. It rarely turns Green which is ODD because doesn't Green usually mean GO? Folks this item is not worth the trouble for this price. I am awaiting a reply back from Turtle Beach Customer Service regarding the software installation issue. Other negatives: You have to unscrew and rescrew the band to make the headband piece if you have a larger head size. A small section of the earpiece/faux leather foam came dented and cosmetically i can't get it to get back into shape. the 1 star is for the sound quality and things working out to satisfaction after all was fixed on my end. If it breaks or fails, then Zero. Update as of 8/14/24: It appears that the Support Team fixed quite a number of issues mentioned above. I will update to 3 stars. The PC application is now recognizing when I power on the headset. Audio quality was also upped to 24 bit 48000 Hz as windows default which is not the best but decent. Minor glitch: Once you turn on the headset, you have to go to settings and change the speaker to the headset and vice versa when you want to go back to your PC speakers (Hopefully there will be an update/fix for this soon). The sound (and especially bass) when playing games is far superior than listening to music, so I guess this is the reason they call it a gaming headset lol. Update: Nov 2024: All technical glitches have been resolved to the best of the manufacturer (as long as you follow the instructions carefully. The sound quality remains amazing and most (if not all of above issues have been fixed via firmware updates. I upped this review to 5 stars. I highly recommend this item now.

The sound quality is a 4 out of 5. Decent bass when listening to Spotify on my Xbox, sound quality was also decent when playing games. I’d give the value a 5 out of 5. Once pairing is completed the mode switch button flawlessly allows a swap between Bluetooth and wireless mode. Battery life is great as well, only con I would point out is they weren’t as easy to adjust to my head as I would like. Overall I have to give these 5 stars since I enjoy using them every time I turn on my Xbox.

This headset has been nothing but frustration in a box. To start, the USB stick is a finicky, unreliable mess. Upon plugging it in, most of the time, it simply doesn't light up. If you plug it into a PC, you get Device Unrecognized in this state. If you plug it into an XBOX, you get absolutely nothing. Unplug, plug it in, unplug, plug it in ... swear a little ... it might start working. When it *does* light up, and you can get through the pairing procedure, you'll get to use it ... for a little bit. At some point it will disconnect and you're back to plugging and unplugging the thing. The "re-pairing" procedure is like no other wireless/USB device on earth, requiring plugging in the USB stick, waiting for the light to light up, then unplugging it within 2-3 seconds ... then repeating that process two more times. This is a comedy of errors when combined with the above circumstance that results in "plugging it in and getting no light" so after a few hours of fighting with it you want to find the nearest sledge hammer for a manual reconfiguration. I can say with confidence that it's unlikely this is a one-off defective product. This is the third Turtle Beach headset I have owned. The last two failed between two months and one year by either some piece breaking off, the microphone failing or the adjustment dials failing in a manner that results in it either being completely muted or causing deafness. I have generally purchased this brand because they are XBOX certified, but outside of the first headset I owned, all require the silly USB stick rather than using the same protocol used by the controllers. I'm not sure *why* I have made the mistake of trusting Turtle Beach products, now, three times. I'm apparently *that* stupid. Don't fall for the discounted price unless you like "not having a headset" ... or any hair left after you've ripped it out in frustration. These are overpriced at any price and in five years and three headsets, that hasn't changed. Just avoid the whole miserable brand, I'd imagine they're all garbage.

Excellent product! Had an issue when the wrong setup was ordered but customer service from the company was outstanding! Solved the issue quickly!

It worked okay for almost a year but it started having issues with the mic not muting when it was supposed to or wouldn’t un- mute. It kept making the deep sound by just touching the headset or when it was just sitting on the table it would keep making a beep sound like the mic was being flipped up and down over and over again. I contacted turtle beach and got a new one. Works great and feels much better than the one I purchased on Amazon. I would just recommend buying from the website but that’s my opinion. It was noise canceling and had great sound quality.

My son LOVES these. He’s on Xbox with his friends a lot now that we are in summer time. We are in a two story home and he wears them upstairs and goes downstairs with them on to get snacks all while chatting with his “fam”.

Great working headset. plugged the included USB dongle into the Xbox Series X and worked right out of the box. also works when you use a USB hub on your Series X. Excellent sound quality and bass. Bought for wireless communication in Fortnite. no more cables. no more accidentialy dragging controller to the ground when standing up. Also on xbox you are connected with 2.4ghz wireless by the included dongle, so no matter where in the house i am no lose of sound quality and people can still hear me no matter where i walk.

Ich war auf der Suche nach einem kabellosen Headset, das ohne Kompromisse funktioniert – und mit dem Turtle Beach Stealth 500 habe ich es gefunden. Dieses Headset ist genau das, was man sich wünscht: unkompliziert, bequem und mit tollem Sound. Was es so besonders macht: · Perfekte Kabellosigkeit: Die Verbindung über den mitgelieferten Xbox Wireless-Adapter (bei neueren Modellen direkt über die Xbox-Technologie) ist absolut stabil und verzögerungsfrei. Man schaltet ein und es funktioniert sofort – kein lästiges Pairing oder Kabelgewirr mehr. · Großartiger immersiver Sound: Der raumfüllende 50mm-Sound macht jedes Spiel zum Erlebnis. Man hört genau, aus welcher Richtung Schritte kommen oder wo sich Gegner befinden. Die Atmosphäre in Story-Spielen wird fantastisch transportiert. · Super-Tragkomfort: Auch nach mehreren Stunden Gaming-Session sitzt das Headset noch angenehm auf dem Kopf. Die Ohrpolster sind weich und dämpfen die Umgebungsgeräusche sehr gut ab (passive Noise Cancellation). · Klare Mikrofonqualität: Meine Mitspieler hören mich laut und deutlich, ohne störende Hintergrundgeräusche. Das ausklappbare, stummschaltbare Mikrofon ist praktisch und unauffällig. · Lange Akkulaufzeit: Die angegebene Spielzeit wird locker erreicht. Man kann entspannt lange Sessions einlegen, ohne ständig ans Laden denken zu müssen. Fazit: Das Turtle Beach Stealth 500 ist genau das, was man von einem Premium-Kabellosheadset erwartet: ein rundum tolles Ding. Es macht einfach alles richtig – von der einfachen Einrichtung über den großartigen Sound bis zum Tragekomfort. Wer sein Gaming-Erlebnis auf der Xbox aufwerten und endlich lästige Kabel loswerden möchte, ist hier absolut goldrichtig. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Excelentes, no fallan, tienen un rango muy amplio de distancia inalambrica hasta 20 metros los he llegado a requerir por ratos y funcionan. La batería dura mucho

Great for Xbox

Me ha sorprendido la comodidad, sí que es verdad que sería mejor unos auriculares de 50mm para abarcar más gama de sonidos, pero cumple la función y por el precio que tienen muy muy bien.
