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

so far so good! needed a wireless headset for my xbox and didn’t want to break the bank. was confusing connecting to usb dongle until i realized i needed to use the app to updated the dongle and headset before connecting. make sure you download the “Stinger II” app not the Turtle Beach one. i bought this used from Amazon and it didn’t come with the USB dongle so i was initially pretty disappointed… however i contacted Turtle Beach directly through email and they sent me a dongle with literally no resistance whatsoever, and the replacement part came in 5 days! very impressed with their customer service and it saved me a huge headache! like the headsets features , sounds are good, mic is good. no complaints really especially at the price. if you want to cross over into the wireless side of headsets for gaming but don’t need the boujee multiple hundred dollar headsets… go for this!

Long-time gamer and first-time buyer of this product!Throughout my gaming career, I’ve always dealt with the hassle of wired headsets—tangled cords, damaged cables, accidental unplugs, or frustrating mic echo issues. There always seemed to be something going wrong.I finally decided to give the Turtle Beach Stealth 500 a shot, and it hasn’t disappointed! Setup was a breeze, and the sound quality is excellent. While it’s not technically noise cancelling, that doesn’t bother me—the passive noise isolation and memory foam ear cushions do a great job at reducing background noise.For the price, I’m genuinely impressed. I haven’t pushed the advertised “40-hour battery life” to its limit yet, but I typically charge it after each session, and it’s held up just fine. My friends have even commented on how clear and crisp my voice sounds in party chat.Overall, I’m very satisfied and would absolutely recommend it—it’s definitely worth the buy!

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.
