How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a low-latency wireless headset built specifically around console gaming with a battery that simply refuses to quit, choose Turtle Beach Stealth 600; if you need one pair of headphones that can do noise-cancelled commuting, office calls and music listening as well as gaming, choose VOKALEN Hyper Pro 2.
• Turtle Beach Stealth 600 — biggest strength: purpose-built gaming kit. Low-latency 2.4GHz wireless, 50mm dynamic drivers, a flip-to-mute mic with A.I. noise reduction, Superhuman Hearing and a rated 80-hour battery.
• Turtle Beach Stealth 600 — biggest trade-off: it is a gaming headset first. The platform list is PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC and mobile, and it leans on a dongle-style 2.4GHz link plus Bluetooth 5.2 rather than a wired fallback.
• VOKALEN Hyper Pro 2 — biggest strength: versatility. Adaptive active noise cancellation, Hi-Res Audio certification, DEEP360 spatial sound, Bluetooth 5.3 multipoint, a 3.5mm jack and USB-C, plus a folding travel design and a carry case.
• VOKALEN Hyper Pro 2 — biggest trade-off: its 40mm drivers and 32-ohm impedance point to a general-listening tuning rather than a tournament-grade gaming focus, and its rated 60 hours sits below the Turtle Beach figure.
• Who each pick is for: the Stealth 600 suits a PS5 or PC player who wants one wireless headset for long sessions; the Hyper Pro 2 suits someone who wants one headphone for the commute, the desk and the sofa.
The Stealth 600 is designed around a single idea: keep a console player in the game for as long as possible without fiddling. The headline number is the 80-hour rated battery life with quick charge support — that is the kind of figure that means you charge it roughly once a week rather than every night. For someone who plays in long evening blocks, that alone changes the ownership experience.
The gaming-specific hardware is where it earns its keep. A 50mm dynamic driver is a large diaphragm, and paired with the built-in EQ modes and Superhuman Hearing, the intent is clear: emphasise footsteps, reloads and directional cues over a flat, neutral presentation. The flip-to-mute mic with A.I.-based noise reduction is a practical touch too — you mute by physically flipping the boom, so there is no hunting for a button mid-match. A 20ms latency rating on the wireless link keeps audio and video reasonably aligned, and the QuickSwitch button lets you jump between the low-latency 2.4GHz connection and Bluetooth 5.2 without re-pairing.
Who should buy it: PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 owners, PC players, and anyone who wants a mappable wheel and mode button for custom functions plus a genuinely huge battery. Who should skip it: iPhone-first listeners and people who need a wired option, because there is no 3.5mm jack here — it is wireless only. It also weighs 320g, which is worth knowing if you are sensitive to weight over a six-hour session.
The Hyper Pro 2 is the opposite philosophy. Instead of optimising for one job, it tries to cover several. Adaptive active noise cancellation is the centrepiece — VOKALEN states it blocks up to 99% of ambient noise under its own laboratory conditions, and the system auto-adjusts to your surroundings in real time. That makes it a legitimate candidate for plane cabins, open-plan offices and shared study spaces, where a gaming headset with no ANC would struggle.
Around that sit features you would normally associate with a commuter headphone. Bluetooth 5.3 with multipoint lets you stay connected to a laptop and a phone at once, so a call can interrupt your music without re-pairing. There is a 3.5mm audio cable and a USB-C cable in the box, so you are never stuck if the battery runs down — a real advantage the Stealth 600 cannot match. A 40mm silk diaphragm dynamic driver handles playback, DEEP360 spatial sound widens the stage for games and films, and dual microphones with AI noise reduction aim at Zoom, Teams and phone calls.
Comfort and portability are clearly part of the brief: memory foam with breathable mesh cushions, an adjustable headband, and a foldable frame that ships with a protective case. The Vokalen Connect App adds adjustable ANC levels and custom EQ. With 60 hours of rated playtime and a claimed 6 hours from a 10-minute charge, battery anxiety is a non-issue. Who should skip it: a competitive console player who wants the lowest possible latency and a boom mic, because this is a touch-and-button controlled headphone with a general-purpose tuning.
• Best for battery life (rated) → Turtle Beach Stealth 600. 80 hours versus 60 hours on the Hyper Pro 2.
• Best for noise cancellation → VOKALEN Hyper Pro 2. Adaptive ANC with adjustable levels and a transparency mode; the Stealth 600 has no ANC.
• Best for competitive console gaming → Turtle Beach Stealth 600. 2.4GHz low-latency wireless, 20ms rated latency, 50mm drivers, Superhuman Hearing and a flip-to-mute mic.
• Best for calls and work → VOKALEN Hyper Pro 2. Dual mics with AI noise reduction, multipoint Bluetooth 5.3 and app-based EQ.
• Best for travel → VOKALEN Hyper Pro 2. Foldable frame, carry case, ANC and a 3.5mm cable for in-flight use.
• Best for wired backup → VOKALEN Hyper Pro 2. USB-C and 3.5mm inputs; the Stealth 600 is wireless only with no jack.
• Best for platform fit → Turtle Beach Stealth 600 if you are on PS5, PS4 or PC. VOKALEN if you split time between phone, laptop and tablet.
• Lightest on the head → VOKALEN Hyper Pro 2. The Stealth 600 is listed at 320g; VOKALEN markets its design as lightweight with mesh cushions.
In my opinion, most people reading this should buy the VOKALEN Hyper Pro 2 — not because it is the better gaming headset, but because it is the better only headphone. It handles noise cancellation, calls, music, films and casual gaming, works wired or wireless, folds into a case, and connects to two devices at once. The Stealth 600, though, is the one I would pick if gaming is genuinely 90% of what you do and you are on PlayStation or PC. Its 80-hour battery, low-latency link and flip-to-mute mic are exactly what that job needs. Decide which of those two people you are, then check the current price on Amazon before you commit.
For console and PC gaming specifically, yes in my opinion. It offers 2.4GHz low-latency wireless rated at 20ms, larger 50mm drivers, dedicated EQ modes, Superhuman Hearing and a flip-to-mute boom mic — all aimed at gameplay rather than general listening.
Correct. The Hyper Pro 2 uses adaptive active noise cancellation with adjustable levels and a transparency mode, and VOKALEN states it blocks up to 99% of ambient noise under its own lab conditions. The Stealth 600's noise control is listed as active noise cancellation but it has no transparency mode or app-level ANC tuning.
Yes. It includes both a 3.5mm audio cable and a USB-C cable. The Turtle Beach Stealth 600 is wireless only — there is no headphone jack on it at all.
The VOKALEN Hyper Pro 2. Its foldable design, protective case, adaptive ANC and 60-hour battery are built for planes, trains and offices. The Stealth 600 is better left at your console.
