One of our favorite gaming headsets, the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro, is getting a massive upgrade as today Turtle Beach announced the next-generation of the headset, the Stealth Pro II. Turtle Beach is going all out with this one, as not only have they completely revamped the design of the headset, but also packed it with brand-new features,  such as Dolby Atmos support, Hi-res Audio, new drivers, swappable batteries, and a crossplay system that lets you seamlessly switch between your gaming platforms.

Here’s your first look at the Stealth Pro II, arriving next month.

Turtle Beach Stealth Pro II Continues to Build Upon a Legacy, While Paving the Way for the Future

It’s hard to imagine Turtle Beach topping their excellent Stealth Pro headset, a headset that received a perfect review score from us. Yet that’s precisely what Turtle Beach is aiming to achieve, as it officially announced its successor, the Stealth Pro II, today. However, this isn’t just a simple headset refresh we’ve seen over the years, as Turtle Beach aims to make it the “absolute” new standard that all other gaming headsets will be measured against.

“The Stealth Pro II represents the pinnacle of Turtle Beach gaming audio. The convergence of innovation, form, sonic clarity and comfort makes this, our flagship headset, the absolute new standard by which all other gaming headsets will be judged,” said Cris Keirn, CEO, Turtle Beach. “With Certified Hi-Res Wireless Audio and powerful 60mm Eclipse dual drivers, Stealth Pro II delivers extraordinary sound fidelity that lets gamers hear every detail of the action. And with our CrossPlay 2.0 system, players can seamlessly switch between up to four platforms and devices at the touch of a button. What our teams have achieved here is remarkable — this is the headset that truly bridges the gap between high-performance gaming audio and premium listening.”

While it’s hard to say if the Stealth Pro II will indeed live up to these expectations, it is hard to ignore that its new design is one of the best-looking gaming headsets (and in general, for any lifestyle) I’ve ever seen. But looks aren’t everything, and based on the information Turtle Beach has provided us, the Stealth Pro II looks quite formidable with all its new features.

As a fun marketing stunt, Turtle Beach put the Stealth Pro II to the ultimate test by tracking down Japan’s last ninja, Jinichi Kawakami, to see if the Stealth Pro II could indeed catch a ninja. Spoiler alert, it can!

More About Jinichi Kawakami

“Jinichi Kawakami is widely recognized as Japan’s last ninja. He is the sole living heir to a centuries-old tradition of covert operatives and assassins. Now 76, he heads the Banke Shinobinoden school of ninjutsu, directs the Iga-ryu Ninja Museum and Ninja Council, and holds a professorship in Ninja Studies at Mie University. His knowledge was passed down orally, and since he has chosen not to take on an apprentice, the tradition ends with him.”

For those interested, the Turtle Beach’s Stealth Pro II will officially launch on May 17, 2026, with pre-orders now available via Turtlebeach.com. It’ll MSRP at $349.99/€349.99/£299.99.
