With three different platform options—Xbox, PC, and PlayStation—the Turtle Beach Stealth 500 caters to all kinds of gamers looking for a budget wireless headset. I've been checking out the PC version for the past couple of weeks, aimed at PC Gamers who put freedom of movement at the top of their priorities list, and don't mind sacrificing some of the less important greebles to satisfy their need to live untethered. That said, I'm hard-pressed to find anything truly missing from the headset despite its price.
Getting it out of the box, it's clear the Turtle Beach Stealth 500 leans away from the super sleek circular look of headsets today that try to look like EVE from Wall-E. Instead it opts for a subtle matte look with a thin, shiny ring around the ear cups that are actually shaped like ears, and don't protrude from your head like technological space buns. It comes in a couple of different colours, black or Arctic Camo, the latter I'm far less attracted to but there's at least some relief from the patterning with the white trimmings.
