    I work at Micro Center and these were in our training for the month. I think the people who would buy this overthe Nova Pro will be buying it for the compatibility and the microphone. Turtle beach are known for having very clear mics, so I was waitinf for this review to see if that would still hold with the pros. The Nova Pro's recessing mic is also prone to breaking snd the fact that the stealth's is removable is another nice to have.
    The cups may be comfortable, but not having the adjustable headband gives the Nova's a leg up.
    Yes they're cheaper, but if you're spending over $300 on a headset, money is not a concern. Though if they could have gotten it down to an even 300, I think it might have mattered a bit.
    Overall, I think the choice between these and the Nova's will just come down to which features are more important to your needs.
    But one major gripe I have with them is that, if the xbox version is compatible with playstation, then why the fuck is there a playstation version taking up space in my isle?!!!!! I'm so sick of trying to make space for console varients of headphones and I was hoping this time would be different. I feel like having xbox and PS varients only creates confusion in their marketing. People will assume that the xbox ones don't work on PS. I honestly think they should have just had one version to drive home that these are universal.

      There are multiple versions because even thought the connection is compatible, the buttons are not. The buttons are like keyboard buttons and each time you press them, they send some code as the input, turns out the Xbox and PS codes for things like volume are different and for the user to have the best experience with maximum compatiblity they have these different versions.

I have the Nova Pro Wireless which as you know can connect 2 devices simultaneously and this will be a deciding factor before purchasing TB.

      @@Cbf84 I use a variety including smaller locations. Wear static did you get.... the only thing I had was a need to turn my mic monitoring down, due to being so strong it picked up a little background noise, which came though almost like a little buzz.... ironically that's one of the more common complaints I see, yet I had it on high, and I was super loud, while picking other things up mildly. Also there's two modes that alert performance, though I haven't experienced any lag whatsoever, and by spec, the wireless nova pros have one of the lowest lags of any wireless headset. I've seen complaints about functioning off of pc occasionally, abs not going to argue they're definitely geared to function more for pc, but with atmos I've had numerous people start observing me on warzone because the spatial is so good that sometimes it looked like I knew where people at a little too well. The other, biggest complaint I seen was the mic, which was ppl saying you have to turn it to 5 to cut loud noises. I drive and always have a loud refrigeration unit, and have volume all the way up at 7, and even with extra noise from the window being open and everything running, it wasn't audible in an open warzone lobby, where I know from a previous headset, even a roughly 30% dual mic noise block didn't cut it. I'm curious to know more detail about your issues, just because, I've noticed, like anything, bugs don't always seem to effect everyone the same.
      That says, even taking away any dislike towards tb, which wasn't a chosen occurrence, but rather big quality and inexcusable firmware issues never being corrected, I would consist of borderline psychotic to spend over 300 on a stealth pro, unless you have a ton of money to blow around. It wouldn't even matter if they had the best audio in the world. Their build quality has been suspect for too long at this point, they cut corners, I mean terrible charger design, slow charge for such low capacity batteries, junk batteries, and that detachable mic is a terrible idea considering previous suspect build quality, as those also tend to have pretty quick fail rates, unless it's a top end company. 250 dollar headset max.

    I'm not doubting the stealth pro is good when you get it, but at this point buying anything made by turtle beach is crazy, let alone spending as much as these cost. They're never built to last. Never had one without numerous connection or mic issues. They cut corners, cheap low capacity batteries, and a charger that's not very secure and i definitely wouldn't trust a removable mic from them, as again, a major history of durability issues, and those things like to wear out of not built top notch, let alone constant removals. I don't know if these are any different, but their audio was never really my thing. Good bass, good treble, bad mids, and where they get good levels is not a good accurate sound. They do look a lot better than previous models, and maybe even more sturdy, but not 330.
