Owner Reports

What Else to Consider
At $89.86, the Turtle Beach Stealth 500 Xbox Headset sits well above the $36.05 category average. 56 options are cheaper and 1 are more expensive.
The category leader is the Turtle Beach Recon 50 Headset ($27.99, 4.4★, 106,702 reviews). It's $61.87 more expensive than the top pick despite ranking lower, which is a hard combination to justify unless a specific feature swings the decision.

The Buy/Skip Call
Maybe. Middle-of-the-pack on rating and price, no standout strengths. If a specific feature matches your need (look at the spec list), it's reasonable. Otherwise the top picks are safer bets.
Final Take
7/10
Functional, mid-pack option. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing pushing it above the better-ranked alternatives either.
