The Best PS5 Headset In 2024

Specs:

• Battery life: 12+ hours (per swappable battery pack)
• Connectivity: 2.4Ghz wireless; Bluetooth 5.1
• Spatial audio: Yes (Windows Sonic, PS5 3D Aduio, Dolby Atmos, DTS Headphone: X)
• Noise-canceling: Active noise canceling
• Mic style: Removable noise-canceling *****, plus integrated mics
• Supported Devices: PS5, PS4, Windows PCs, Mac, Nintendo Switch, mobile

While the SteelSeries Nova Pro is our pick for the best high-end PS5 headset, Turtle Beach’s Stealth Pro puts up strong enough competition to warrant it a spot on this list as our runner-up for the category.

The Stealth Pro’s features are largely comparable to the Nova Pro’s, including a digital audio converter (DAC) that enhances audio quality from its 50mm Nanoclear drivers. However, unlike the SteelSeries’ external DAC module, the Stealth Pro’s in integrated into the headset itself, making it a simpler setup. Of course, that makes it a bulkier model, but it’s still a sleek-looking headset overall.

Along with the built-in DAC, the Stealth Pro features multiple mics, including the removable noise-canceling ***** on the left earcup, and multiple concealed mics for additional voice capture. The headset supports multiple spatial audio formats including PS5 3D audio, Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos, and DTS Headphone: X. It connects to the PS5 or PC via 2.4Ghz wireless, and also supports Bluetooth 5.1 connections to various other devices. And yes, you can listen to audio from two devices at the same time.

To boost audio performance even more, you can pair the headset with the Turtle Beach Mobile app to adjust the Stealth Pro’s EQ settings to your preferences. The headset also includes an active noise-canceling mode, which is great for blocking out external sound to heighten immersion

The Stealth Pro’s battery life is one area that could give potential customers a reason to worry. At 12 hours, it’s not bad, but plenty of other headsets easily double that. Luckily, that’s not the full story. Rather than use built-in batteries, the Stealth Pro features two removable, rechargeable battery packs. Both last 12 hours, so you can get up to 24 hours from both on a single charge. The packs can recharge three hours of battery in 15 minutes, so as long as you keep one charged up and swap when needed, you theoretically could get endless use out of this headset.

Like the Nova Pro, the Stealth Pro has PlayStation- and Xbox-specific models. The PlayStation model works with everything except Xbox consoles, and supports PlayStation’s 3D audio. Conversely, the Xbox edition works with everything, including PlayStation, but does not support spatial audio. For that reason, we’re giving the PlayStation model our recommendation, but both are identical otherwise. Both models come with a 2.4Ghz USB dongle, charging station, USB-C cable, and a cloth carrying pouch.
