Turtle Beach Stealth 500 Wireless Gaming Headset Licensed for Xbox Series X|S, Compatible with Xbox One, Bluetooth, PC, Mobile, 40 Hr Battery, Memory Foam Cushions, Flip-to-Mute Mic, Black

Best Xbox headphone to date, they are noise canceling and they prevent sound leakage. They are sound customizable just not quite sure exactly how or where lol. I got them for my brother who is an avid Xbox player and he was raving about them and their perks for weeks. If you’re looking for high quality headphones perfect for hardcore gaming and great audio quality. Get these. Definitely worth the price.

Great headset, pairs seamlessly with the series X, I found the quite comfortable, I prefer the controls from the Microsoft Headset but I had connectivity issues with those, but these works just fine. Battery seems to last good enough. Overall I think they provide good value for the money, I got them on discount.

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.

These are very comfortable and have great sound. I really like the stretchy strap for the headband. It's more comfortable on my head compared to traditional padded headbands. I found set up was much easier through the app on my phone. Once set up, no issues.

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.

Instruction are junk almost returned it because transmitter would not connect to Xbox series X had to plug headset and transmitter into Xbox before it would connect on the transmitter no fixes ether online just trial and error. instruction was put transmitter in Xbox and turn headset on then make sure it is set to wireless but no light on transmitter.

Gave as gift. Works great and comfortable to use he said. Easy volume adjustment.

I read most reviews before I made my purchase and it was a very simple plug and play operation. The dual volume control allows additional adjustments for either sound or background noises. Easy transition from wireless to Bluetooth with a touch of a button. I use it with ease for gaming, watching videos or listening to music. I highly recommend this product, you won’t be disappointed.
