If you’re on the hunt for a top-notch multiplatform gaming headset, then look no further than the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro. Whether you’re an avid gamer yourself or gifting one this Christmas season, shoppers “cannot fault” this Turtle Beach headset.

The Stealth Pro is Turtle Beach’s high-end wireless gaming headset, boasting an impressive array of features and compatibility with every major platform – it even offers dual connectivity, making it the only headset you’ll ever need.

Nathan Bliss, The Mirror’s Gaming Editor, tested the Xbox version of the Stealth Pro, but don’t worry about platform specifics, as these headphones are compatible with PlayStation consoles, PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch, and other Bluetooth devices. It’s certainly a better choice over the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro PlayStation version, which doesn’t support either of Microsoft’s consoles.

Normally retailing for a steep £279.99, this Stealth Pro Headset is currently up for grabs for 25% less thanks to Amazon’s Prime Day deals, saving shoppers a massive £70.

Nathan Bliss highlights some of the headset’s best features. You’ve got two mics to switch between: the built-in, dual concealed mic for when you’re sporting these hefty lads on the go, and the detachable boom mic with ANC for when you’re deep in online gameplay. Both the boom mic and dual concealed mic utilise Turtle Beach’s S.M.A.R.T. (Sonic Measurement Audio Reduction Tuning) mic, noise-cancelling tech, designed to pick up your voice while leaving out all the background sounds.

The 50mm detachable drivers are a joy, enhanced by the ANC, but these high-end features come with a hefty price tag. The Turtle Beach Stealth Pro is priced at £279.99 for the Xbox version when purchased directly from Turtle Beach, putting it in direct competition with the Razer Barracuda Pro. However, when compared, the Stealth Pro proves to be much more versatile.

The headphones feature high-quality memory foam ear cushions, as well as a similarly comfortable headband, making them suitable for extended wear, despite weighing approximately 400g (excluding the detachable microphone). The Stealth Pro is certainly on the heavier side, with the Razer Barracuda Pro being approximately 60g lighter, but this adds to the premium feel, and the cushions are so comfortable that it’s not an issue.

Nathan describes the adjustable noise cancellation as “top-tier”, writing: “The Turtle Beach audio hub allows you to switch between ambient and full ANC swiftly and easily. It’s full ANC mode offers the best noise cancellation experience I’ve had with a gaming headset, and the focus it provides to secure those crucial eliminations in tense moments without being distracted by external noise is invaluable. Even when hoovering (everyone needs a cleaning playlist, right?), the sound comes through cleanly, making it an incredibly versatile piece of kit.”

Nathan summarises: “The Turtle Beach Stealth Pro is hands down the best multiplatform gaming headset I’ve ever used. Its impressive array of features, comfort, and ability to connect to any device – not to mention the fact you never have to worry about battery life thanks to its dual battery system – makes it an extremely attractive option.”

“With other gaming headsets on the market, you often find yourself having to choose between platform connectivity, wireless, Bluetooth, comfort, noise cancellation and battery life. But with the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro, you can have your cake and eat it too. That is, if you can afford it.”

Amazon shoppers who have picked up this headset can’t stop raving about it, with one thrilled customer sharing: “Happy customer, coming from Steel Series Nova 3x and then 5x to this, what a difference!! more immersive, better sound, noise isolation and the bonus of ANC. Lucky I got it for less than half of retail just because of no og box. Most important of all, no connection issues, unlike the SteelSeries!”

While another buyer beams: “One of the best gaming headsets I’ve owned in the last 20 years. I play Battlefield and FPS, and these give me the edge when it comes to Spatial Audio and understanding exactly where those footsteps are coming from. Swappable batteries are a nice feature.”

Though this shopper presents a balanced argument, writing: “I finally found a gaming headset that’s ideal for me after coming from Turtle Beach X800 to Turtle Beach Air, then SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless, which had great sound. This Turtle Beach Stealth Pro was easy to set up and configure the sound, with compatibility with multiple platforms. I honestly cannot fault this headset, the only downside is the clamp force is a little bit getting used to as it’s a new headset, but that will bed in once it’s been used(my big head), all in all very happy and worth the money. Coming to this from a previous headset, which was a Steelseries Artis Pro Wireless, and I can tell this has that extra mile in it, so very happy.”

NANS Threatens To Block Federal Highways Over ‘Sabotage Of Dangote Refinery’

By in News, Nigeria News

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has warned that it will mobilise students across the country to occupy federal highways if efforts to sabotage private refineries, particularly the Dangote Refinery, continue.

In a strongly worded statement delivered during a national warning protest held simultaneously in Abuja, Asaba, and Lagos, NANS President, Comrade Olushola Oladoja, condemned what he described as a coordinated attempt by vested interests to frustrate Nigeria’s refining independence.

He criticised the ongoing pressure by trade unions, especially PENGASSAN, to impose union membership on private refinery workers, calling it unconstitutional and a threat to investment.

“This is coercion and a direct violation of Section 40 of the 1999 Constitution, which guarantees freedom of association,” he said.

NANS accused international oil companies, product importers, and local unions of conspiring to maintain Nigeria’s dependency on imported fuel by frustrating local refining efforts.

The association likened the situation to the collapse of the country’s textile industry, which it blamed on similar sabotage and lack of government protection.
The students’ body presented five demands, including:

  1. Priority crude oil supply to Nigerian refineries;
  2. An end to the undervaluation of crude sold to foreign refineries;
  3. De-emphasis on fuel importation in favour of locally refined products;
  4. Protection of private investments and workers’ rights;
  5. An end to union harassment and industrial blackmail.

Comrade Oladoja warned that if the government fails to act, NANS will escalate its actions with nationwide student protests.

LP Senator Defects As Akpabio Calls For Stronger Opposition

By in News, Nigeria News

The ranks of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Senate have risen to 73, following the defection of Senator Kelvin Chukwu of the Labour Party.

The Senate formally announced Chukwu’s defection during plenary, marking another shift in the composition of the 10th National Assembly.

The lawmaker, who represents Enugu East Senatorial District, says his defection followed what he described as the disorganisation within the Labour Party.

But the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, in his remarks, called on opposition parties to reorganise and provide credible alternatives, warning that their current disarray poses a threat to democratic vibrancy in the country.

‘I want a strong and vibrant opposition in Nigeria, but when they are in tatters, what can we do? Please, put your house in order. That’s why INEC is registering more political parties,” Akpabio stated.

Echoing the Senate President’s sentiments, Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele attributed the growing support for the APC to the administration’s handling of the economy.

“This shift in the Senate reflects a broader national trend; the APC-led government is working.

“Our foreign reserves are improving, and the GDP shows signs of steady growth; these are clear indicators that the economy is bouncing back,” said Bamidele.

With the latest development, the current distribution of seats in the Senate shows that the APC has 73 members, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has 28, and the LP has four.

INEC Announces Four-Day Extension To Voter Registration In FCT

By in News, Nigeria News

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced a four-day extension of the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

This followed a review of ongoing electoral activities during the Commission’s third quarterly meeting with Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs), held on Tuesday, October 7, 2025.

According to a post shared on the Commission’s official X handle on Wednesday, the exercise, which was initially scheduled to end on Wednesday, October 8, will now continue until Sunday, October 12, 2025.

INEC explained that the extension was to accommodate the high turnout recorded across the capital, and to ensure that eligible residents who were yet to register were not disenfranchised.

“As of 7th October 2025, a total of 55,346 new voter registrations had been recorded in the FCT, comprising 38,528 online pre-registrations and 16,818 completed physical registrations,” the statement read. “This impressive turnout underscores the growing civic awareness among residents and the effectiveness of devolving the exercise to the grassroots.”

The Commission, however, noted that the online pre-registration option in the FCT remained suspended to allow all pre-registrants to complete their registration in person at designated centres, in line with the provisions of the Electoral Act 2022.

INEC further appealed to all eligible citizens who are yet to register to take advantage of the extension period, while reminding Nigerians that multiple registration is a punishable offence under the law.

“Registered voters who wish to transfer their registration to the FCT, or within the FCT, are also encouraged to do so within this period,” the Commission stated.

The list and addresses of all registration centres, it added, are available on its website and official social media platforms.
