I just picked up the Turtle Beach Stealth 500, not bad for the money. Had the Sony ones in the past, they’re nice but a little overpriced.

If you mostly play FPS, check out Turtle Beach. Everyone talks Razer or HyperX, but the Stealth 500 is a sleeper hit for Valorant/CS.

The Stealth 500 is a piece of garbage.  14 months and my son's right ear sound is out.  They only have a one year warranty and offered 25% off a new one.  Hell no.  Do not buy.. stay away.

I've had to replace my A50's that I also got in 2017, they were great but now they only charge about halfway and so only last about 2 hours and they're dead finicky in the dock. I got some Turtle Beach Stealth 500's as they were on sale and I don't join party's a lot these days but they were a far bigger pain to set up than they should have been, should have stuck with Astro's but these will do for now.

Personally, I've had the Turtle Beach Stealth 400's for my PS4 and now the Stealth 500's for my PS5. Both have worked flawlessly for years and it's at that bang for buck sweet spot.
