With the arrival of the Stealth Pro, Turtle Beach has once again cemented itself as a leader in the gaming headsets market. Yes, Turtle Beach has been one of the most recognizable names in the gaming audio space for nearly two decades, but as the field crowded with formidable competitors, Turtle Beach fell behind the pack in terms of quality. Turtle Beach's Stealth Pro is not only the manufacturer's best headset ever, but also one of the best gaming headsets you can buy in 2023 across all platforms.

One glance at the sticker price will probably make you think: Well, I would hope it's good for that price. And that price happens to be $330. So, yeah, you're wearing a headset that costs more than the Xbox Series S or Nintendo Switch you're potentially playing on. The price is undoubtedly hard to stomach, and it puts the Stealth Pro in a niche but growing category of ultra-premium gaming headsets. Most flagship headsets nowadays retail in the $150-to-$200 price range--headsets like the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 and Razer BlackShark V2 Pro. And for most players, those headsets offer more than enough in terms of performance, comfort, looks, and durability.

The Stealth Pro is a different beast; it's a headset that attempts to do for gaming audio what Sony and Bose did for studio headphones. And Turtle Beach isn't actually breaking new ground here. The Stealth Pro was obviously designed to compete with the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro, a $350 gaming headset that was quite easily the best headset I've ever tried from basically the moment I started gaming with it.
