Standard gaming headsets are already quite good by default, but some demanding players want more—much more. So the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro II goes all out with features, audio quality, and build quality.

Three years after a first Stealth Pro that was already robust, Turtle Beach returns with a completely redesigned version 2. This gaming headset brings a bold new design, 60 mm transducers, even more advanced wireless connectivity, and an almost infinite battery life. It sells for around €350 and competes with the upper-tier benchmarks. So, is it worth it? Our verdict after ten days of testing.
Design and Build: A Premium Feel
Before discussing the headset itself, let’s look at the travel case it arrives in. This rigid case appears well-made, though the interior foam is somewhat coarse. The contrast when you open the case is striking. Still, nothing catastrophic; the main thing is that the headset is well protected.
The Stealth Pro II is not a run-of-the-mill headset; it is a much more assertive, boldly styled gaming headset that embraces a confident identity, unlike rivals such as the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni which take a more understated route.
The ear cups are notably large. To fit a 60 mm transducer, each ear cup is quite thick—about 65 mm in depth, which is roughly 15 mm thicker than a standard headset. Despite the refined design, the silhouette is bulky and imposing.
On the left side of the headset, you’ll find two volume dials (for chat and mic), a mode switch button (2.4 GHz / Bluetooth), a USB-C port, the power button, and… a mini-USB port (yes, really) to connect the removable microphone.
On the right edge, you’ll find the Bluetooth activation button, a button to switch between devices, and the volume wheel. It would have been nice to see “L” and “R” marks on each ear cup, though.
The dock is slim and straightforward. It features multi-point backlighting and a button to easily eject the battery. You can tell you’re dealing with a premium tier—the USB-A dongle is nicely designed, and the charging dock also functions as a 2.4 GHz transmitter.
Optimal Comfort
The headset features a mesh headband on top, reminiscent of the AirPods Max design. It conforms to the skull and provides a breathable feel that heavy gamers will appreciate.
The cushions use memory foam and are wrapped in fabric to prevent overheating during long sessions. The overall shape ensures a solid grip on the head with minimal movement.
Despite very comfortable padding, the headset weighs 393 grams. Not a problem per se, as it feels reasonably light on the head, except for one point: the mesh band on top can press a little after one to two hours. It’s possible to adjust the headset to be a bit looser, but it then loses some stability.
Performance and Audio Quality
In terms of performance, the Stealth Pro II is outstanding. With Eclipse dual-driver 60 mm transducers, it delivers Hi-Res certified audio (24 bits / 96 kHz) and Dolby Atmos compatibility.
The sound is detailed and rich; its performance surpasses most gaming headsets we tested so far. The bass is powerful without overwhelming the rest of the range, the mids are pleasant, and the highs are not harsh.
The games soundscape is genuinely pleasant, with details you don’t always hear on other models. Explosions or gunfire in CS2 have impact, and footsteps remain easy to locate—a major plus for FPS enthusiasts.
There is a 10-band equalizer in Swarm II, enabling you to tailor the sound to your preference. Presets allow boosting bass, voices, or both bass and highs.
Not only that, as befits a premium price, the Stealth Pro II also features active noise cancellation. The result is fairly solid: constant noises like air conditioning, PC fans, or NAS disks are suppressed, sharpening focus on the game. Voice attenuation is somewhat less effective, though.
The headset supports wireless 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth 5.3 simultaneously. More importantly, you can connect up to four different 2.4 GHz transmitters at once via CrossPlay 2.0. Switching from a PC to a console is done with a single press.
An Autonomy That Feels Truly “Infinite”?
The Stealth Pro II ships with its dock and two removable batteries. Each battery provides up to 40 hours of use, for a total of 80 hours. When one battery is in use in the headset, the other charges in the dock, effectively giving you “unlimited” life according to the manufacturer.
We measured just over 40 hours with a single battery, which aligns with the manufacturer’s claim. So, is it truly unlimited? In practice, it’s more marketing than real innovation. Without a buffer battery, you must pause to swap batteries, interrupting gameplay.
The headset can also be charged via USB-C, but it’s less convenient than charging the batteries directly in the dock.
Turtle Beach Stealth Pro II: Clubic’s Verdict
The Turtle Beach Stealth Pro II stands out as a compelling option in the very high-end gaming headset segment. Its bold design, premium materials, and refined finish give it every chance to justify its price. At 350 euros, the price is steep, but its numerous strengths warrant consideration. Certified Hi-Res audio quality, effective active noise cancellation, and advanced wireless connectivity with CrossPlay 2.0… Turtle Beach clearly invested heavily to justify its pricing.
The Stealth Pro II impressed our discerning ears. The 60 mm Eclipse transducers deliver a rich, detailed, and balanced sound, well ahead of most gaming headsets we’ve tested. Whether for work with music, watching a movie, or playing CS2, the sound is immersive and precise. Dolby Atmos compatibility, Swarm II’s 10-band EQ, and active noise cancellation complete a very full audio package, aimed at both hardcore players and serious audiophiles.
Some drawbacks temper the enthusiasm, however. The weight of 393 grams is noticeable, the presence of a mini-USB port in 2026 is hard to justify at this price, and the “unlimited autonomy” claim leans more toward marketing than a real technical breakthrough. Without a spare battery, battery swaps require a pause. None of this negates the headset’s quality, but it’s wise to manage expectations.

Three years after a robust first Stealth Pro, Turtle Beach returns with an entirely redesigned second version. This gaming headset brings a markedly different design, new 60 mm transducers, even stronger wireless connectivity, and a battery life that nearly feels endless. Priced around €350, it steps into the upper tier of the market. So, is it worth it? Our verdict after ten days of testing.
Design and Build: A Premium Feel
Before diving into the headset, let’s examine the carrying case: a rigid shell that feels sturdy, yet the interior foam is rather coarse. The difference when opening is striking. Still, nothing dramatic; the key is that the headset is well protected.
The Stealth Pro II doesn’t aim for a safe, generic look. It’s a clearly bold gaming headset that makes a statement, unlike rivals like the Arctis Nova Pro Omni which opt for a more conservative stance.
The ear cups are notably substantial. They must house the 60 mm transducers, so each cup is fairly thick—about 65 mm in depth, roughly 15 mm more than a typical headset. Despite the refined look, it presents a bulky, heavy silhouette.
On the left side of the headset, you’ll find two volume knobs (for chat and mic), a mode-switch button (2.4 GHz / Bluetooth), a USB-C port, the power switch, and… a mini-USB port (yes, really) to connect the removable microphone.
Côté dock, it’s slim and simple in design. It features multiple backlights and a button to eject the battery easily. You can tell you’re dealing with premium gear—the USB-A dongle is nicely designed, and the charging dock doubles as a 2.4 GHz transmitter.
A Comfortable Fit
The headband at the top has a mesh design reminiscent of AirPods Max, allowing breathability and a comfortable feel even during long sessions.
The memory-foam cushions are fabric-wrapped to prevent overheating, and the headset’s shape holds well on the head with minimal movement.
Even with very commendable comfort, the headset weighs 393 grams. That’s not a problem in itself, and it feels reasonably light on the head, except for one issue: the mesh band on top can press a bit after an hour or two. You can adjust the headset to be looser, but you’ll lose a little stability in return.
Performance and Audio Quality
In terms of audio performance, the Stealth Pro II is outstanding. With Eclipse dual-diaphragm 60 mm transducers, it delivers Hi-Res certified sound (24 bits / 96 kHz) and Dolby Atmos compatibility.
The sound is detailed, rich, and markedly better than most gaming headsets we’ve tested. The bass is powerful without overwhelming the overall sonic range, the mids are pleasant, and the highs remain smooth rather than shrill.
The game soundstage is genuinely pleasing, with details you don’t always hear on other models. Explosions and gunfire in CS2 hit with impact, and footsteps are easy to locate—a big plus for FPS enthusiasts.
An equalizer with 10 bands is available in Swarm II, allowing you to customize the sound to your liking. Presets exist to boost bass, voices, or both bass and highs.
This isn’t all, because at this price, the Stealth Pro II also offers active noise cancellation. The result is reasonably effective, erasing constant background noises like air conditioning, PC fans, or NAS disk whirs, allowing you to concentrate on the game. Voices, however, are a bit less suppressed.
The headset supports both wireless 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth 5.3 simultaneously. Most notably, you can connect up to four different 2.4 GHz transmitters at once thanks to CrossPlay 2.0. Switching from PC to a console is a simple press.
An Autonomy That Feels Truly “Infinite”?
The Turtle Beach Stealth Pro II comes with its dock and two removable batteries. Each battery can last up to 40 hours, totaling around 80 hours. When one battery powers the headset, the other charges in the dock, offering what the manufacturer calls an “unlimited” autonomy.
We measured a little over 40 hours with a single battery, which aligns with the manufacturer’s claim. But is it truly unlimited? In practice, it’s more marketing than a technical innovation. Since there’s no buffer battery, swapping requires a brief interruption.
The headset can also be charged via USB-C, but charging the batteries directly in the dock remains the most convenient option.
