Our Verdict

Turtle Beach Stealth 500 Wireless

Turtle Beach Stealth 600 (Gen 3)

The Turtle Beach Stealth 600 (Gen 3) are better gaming headphones than the Turtle Beach Stealth 500. The Stealth 600 (Gen 3) have double the battery life of the Stealth 500, as well as easier-to-use controls and more features in Turtle Beach's Swarm II app. On the other hand, the Stealth 500 are more stable on the head, are a bit cheaper, and have a lighter clamping force, which you might prefer. In each case, make sure to get the variant that matches your gaming platform.
