Turtle Beach made a good SteelSeries headset clone that’s $50 less
Turtle Beach's Stealth Pro 2 and SteelSeries' Arctis Nova Pro Omni are both high-end wireless headsets with support for hi-res audio, but the audio quality difference is negligible for most users. The Stealth Pro 2 offers similar features to the Omni at a $50 lower price, including swappable batteries and dual wireless connectivity. While both headsets excel in design and functionality, neither justifies an upgrade solely for their hi-res audio capabilities.
- ▪The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni is priced at $399 and features improved mic quality, broader console compatibility, and support for 24-bit / 96kHz wireless audio.
- ▪The Turtle Beach Stealth Pro 2 is priced at $349 and offers swappable batteries, simultaneous 2.4GHz and Bluetooth connectivity, and a companion app for audio customization.
- ▪Both headsets support wireless hi-res audio, but testing showed no noticeable difference in sound quality compared to standard 24-bit / 48kHz audio.
- ▪The Stealth Pro 2 includes two 3.7Wh batteries, while the Omni includes two 2.5Wh batteries, with both using charging base stations.
- ▪The Stealth Pro 2 allows toggling between transmitters, making it more convenient for users with multiple, dispersed gaming setups.
