It was moments like these when I enjoyed the ability to pipe in my own tunes from my iPhone to lighten things up-a Yacht Rock playlist can really bring some levity to a revenge campaign. The gruesome Nazis in Wolfenstein 2 were also easily pinned down, though I’m not sure it helped my aim much, as they continuously blew me into oblivion. In one campaign I could almost see my ally’s approaching line from behind as his footsteps strafed to the left and brustled through bushes to get to our next attack point. While playing Sniper Elite 4 with a friend online, I was able to accurately trace every player on the board, even as they rolled up from directly behind. The precise directionality of effects, gunshots, and footfalls are all excellently parsed throughout the sound field by the headset’s 50-mm drivers. The best attribute is the Stealth Pro’s stark instrumental separation across a wide and dimensional soundstage, which translates brilliantly when you jump into your favorite games.

I like that the Stealth Pro power back up almost instantly after you swap, and with rapid charging, they’re essentially always ready. The Arctis Nova Pro’s swappable batteries offer more per charge, while HyperX’s Cloud Alpha features a physics-bending 300 hours (but no noise canceling). Each battery offers 12 hours of playback, and they’re very easy to swap. The transmitter also serves as the charger for the Stealth Pro’s swappable batteries, one of my favorite features. The Xbox version is your best bet for versatility. The PlayStation version I reviewed is almost exactly the same but skips Xbox support. The Xbox model’s transmitter connects to all major platforms, including the current and last-gen Xbox, PS4/PS5, Nintendo Switch (when docked), and Mac/PC. There are actually two versions of the headset, Xbox- or PlayStation-specific.

When they’re not moonlighting as headphones for listening to tunes or tending your Stardew Valley garden on your mobile device, the Stealth Pro connect to your console or PC over a 2.4-GHz signal via a snazzy transmitter disc. These also work pretty well but pick up a lot more ambient noise. The mic can also be rotated up to mute, and if you don’t want to use it, there are two built-in mics. Of course, the Stealth Pro does cost about 10X more than my old cheapskate model. A friend said it sounded “100 times better” than my previous headset. On the left ear cup is a port for the wand microphone, which worked quite well in my online gaming campaigns. I actually found myself turning it down a notch or two while gaming, which tamped down white noise and kept me at least marginally aware of the world around me.
This isn’t top-level ANC, especially in the higher registers, where the headset gets handily beaten by masters in the headphone world like the Sony WH-1000XM4 and newer XM5 ( 9/10, WIRED Recommends). The ear cups offer solid noise isolation, and when combined with the headset’s adjustable active noise canceling, you can effectively escape the outside world when listening to tunes or gaming. I wore the headset for around three hours with no complaints when I did feel some wear on my head, moving the band helped rebalance things.
The chassis is hefty and a bit unwieldy at just over 400 grams, but thick padding layered in soft leatherette along the ear cups and band keeps things fairly comfy. They won’t be mistaken for a pair of Sonys or Sennheisers, especially with the detachable microphone in place, but when compared to rivals like the HyperX Cloud Alpha ( 10/10, WIRED Recommends), the Stealth Pro look positively debonair in their black and steel color scheme. The best compliment I can give the Stealth Pro’s style is that it’s not too game-forward.
