Our Verdict

Turtle Beach Stealth 600 (Gen 3)

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 and the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 (Gen 3) have different strengths. The SteelSeries' mic has a better recording quality, and they also have a sturdier build quality and a more useful companion app. On the other hand, the Turtle Beach have a much longer battery life, deliver a more consistent sound from wear to wear, and are usually a little cheaper than the SteelSeries. The Turtle Beach's mic is also a little better at separating your voice from any noise around you.
