Stealth 500: Turtle Beach’s Nintendo Switch 2-ready headset is low-key traveling gaming goals

You already know my love for the Turtle Beach brand is intense - I mean, when it comes to some superior quality and quirky features - it’s all about the Stealth Series. But how about keeping the Stealth Pro II experience for those championship-caliber outings and having a Stealth 500 built for some serious wear and tear no matter the gaming goals scenario for your Nintendo Switch 2? Oh yes.

Nintendo Switch 2 has found its baddie in the Turtle Beach Stealth 500

I can’t stop geeking out because while I love my Stealth Pro II beyond comprehension - it’s literally my go-to for everything - from PlayStation 5 Pro adventures and then a click of a button to go to my Nintendo Switch 2 retro gaming classics outings all while binge-watching ‘Pluribus’ all over again? My goodness. But this Stealth 500? My goodness.

I have to really keep it 100 - before getting my hands on this review unit, I thought it would just be something nice to hang up in the living room but it’s quickly become my rugged wear and tear-ready headset for waiting room adventures at the car shop while getting the whip routinely maintenance and especially during my all-out sweaty stationary bike rides - I love my Stealth Pro II but there’s zip-zero way I am putting it on my head during an intense workout session - heck no.
