Alienware Pro Wireless Lunar Light
Score: 90/100Rankings
The Turtle Beach Stealth 500 is an entry-level wireless headset offering 40 hour battery life, 40 mm drivers and a flip-to-mute mic, with dual 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth connectivity and extensive app-based audio customization.
The Lunar Light version of the Alienware Pro Wireless headset offers the same high-end audio and ANC as its dark-side counterpart, with a lighter aesthetic and identical long-lasting battery. It shines in comfort and sound but suffers from unintuitive controls and limited mobile software support.
