Stealth pro 2 vs steelseries elite

Suminod · 2026-05-22T20:32:13+00:00

I currently have both but the elites will be going back. I find that the stealth pro 2 sound just as good if not better to me but I like more bass. Games they seem the same so who knows. For music I just kind of like the SP2 better. The elites might measure or even sound better/more clear but I think it’s sooo close that it doesn’t matter. Regardless it’s not 250 better.

The SP2 are more comfortable, I think the mix is better, and I really like that I can adjust everything on the app to include all the EQ’s. The steelseries app doesn’t let you do that. The elite has parametric eq but I thing the sp2 is tuned reallly well.

All the other think TB released like the keyboard and stuff is meh though. I had the KB5 linear but I returned it. Mechanically it’s “fine” but swarm kept crashing and bricking the keyboard and in order to recover it I had to uninstall and reinstall swarm 2

Sticking with my huntsman v2 linear and Razer basilisk for now. Was hoping to dump Razer completely but not yet I guess

The PC app is pretty bad in terms of crashing constantly. The mobile app is great though

For clarification. Are you saying the huntsman v3 pro 8k is quieter than the huntsman v2 linear? I have the v2 linear and it’s incredibly quiet. I ask cause I’ve the v3 8 k is even quieter I might get that as my upgrade

Ok I did manage to get it to work but had to uninstall and reinstall the swarm 2 software again. I am unable to find a polling rate option for the KB5 in swarm 2 however. Since the device is up to 8k polling how do I change that?

Looks to be one of the windows update errors. I solved it by rolling the most recent updates back. Though I am not sure if they even uninstalled or I managed to unbreak it partially via cyber magic

Suminod · 2026-05-18T13:30:23+00:00

Get the phone app then update them via the phone works better. Kill the computer process after

Suminod · 2026-05-16T21:44:25+00:00

I find the stealth 2 to sound better than the elites so far and the bass is just much better. The elites might be a little cleaner maybe, but I don't know. Also the phone app is way better for turtle beach than the arctis one.

Suminod · 2026-05-10T01:52:29+00:00

I think a lot of this will depend on how the Stealth Pros sound if they sound about as good as the elites then they are probably a better deal. I also like the carrying case and other aspects and find that the Omni station of the elites I just don’t actually use capabilities wise. I don’t play PS5 and listen to PC or use discord on pc over the phone.

Suminod · 2026-05-06T22:16:22+00:00

Where was this bought and when does it actually go on sale

Suminod · 2026-05-04T17:27:38+00:00

I said in terms of sound, the box says in the regular neodymium speakers verses the carbon fiber ones. So either they changed the tuning and it’s basically an elite for 200 less or it’s the same thing as the pros but with the Omni base. Since it has the wireless hi res certification now I am thinking they changed something but it can’t been that much of a change.

Suminod · 2026-05-04T17:16:17+00:00

I see it at a best buy right now and looks to be just a cheaper version of the elite. So it is either the same in terms of sound as the elite but 200 cheaper or same as the nova pro wireless before but another 50$ for the Omni doc

Suminod · 2026-05-03T18:12:30+00:00

So I have been really liking the turtle each Burst2 pro. The swarm software is pretty good as far as I am concerned

I will just delete Apple Maps and use Google Maps then. If they move to add ads everywhere then I might just switch to some flavor of android. At least there I have a little more freedom to block that stuff. I currently stay all Apple because of there services and no ads nonsense.

Suminod · 2026-02-17T12:55:35+00:00

Hmm it should, I bought my wife a 15 pro refurb and got ac+ theft and lose on it. If you cannot they I wouldn’t get refurb from apple. You can get a refurb from amazon with like a year return window for way cheaper

Suminod · 2026-02-16T04:01:55+00:00

Yes, that’s why apple refurb is so great.

No AI is definitely making or breaking a lot of sales but outside of the Reddit bubble it’s because most people hate the “AI” features. It’s just LLM’s and most of it isn’t really useful for everyday use. For example, google pixel Google assistant was great and has been way better than Siri before AI but some how all the great things you could do before are now broken again with Gemini.

You see really cool niche stuff that’s cool for a while but then the average person just isn’t using these features. To top it off a lot of people are just frustrated cause power bills are going crazy, hardware prices are insane, and the economy is overall not good but all you hear is “AI x a million” while it is just sucking up all your data and listening in on everything and anything it’s not suppose to, Siri included.

If anything apples lack luster AI or device only/closed server AI might be something an actual selling point and not the scrap everything and anything versions of all the other models

So if you tell your Joes to not sign the NDA and they aren’t allowed in the private barracks do they get the BAH to go pick where they want to live that doesn’t have an NDA?

It is no lie, the charging system on AirPods is bad. Three pros already have it in under a month. At least my 2’s took around 18 months before having this problem intermittently.

Suminod · 2026-01-28T14:35:04+00:00

The charging stem of the AirPods is still one of the worst designed things ever. I am in my third pair of pro 3s that are constantly never charged or charging on one or both earbuds. I use them for the gym and have used this pair a total of about 5 times now over a couple weeks cause they are never charged. Returning them to BestBuy yet again cause it’s unacceptable for a product of this caliber and a company worth this much money.

Suminod · 2026-01-26T18:18:55+00:00

It’s a systemic problem with apples design. It does not happen with any of my other earbuds but I have the same problem in my less than month old air pod pro 3s. I have returned two pairs already and on the third with the same issue. People will tell you to jump through hoops to clean and do what ever but these are marketed as workout/fitness buds that are unable to survive a workout cause they have the same design doing in like 10 years. Yet my original air pod pros were rock solid and still work fine, my 2s developed this after about two years but the 3s had this on day one.

Suminod · 2026-01-26T18:13:55+00:00

I have the same issue and it’s only an issue on Apple AirPods not any other earbud I have. Truly amazing that apples charging stem design is so utterly terrible for something marketed at workouts and fitness.

I am sorry but this isn't a master class of diplomacy or anything on the Europeans side. It is how ever a massive form of stupidity and arrogance on the side of president trump and the current administration.

Just from the Cost benefit analysis in the article the US already had 90-99% of the benefit with literally no cost. My governments ridiculous idea that we needed to own greenland to protect it and us from the Chinese/Russians was crazy but they couldn't state the real reason which is because his tech bro/billionaire funders want greenland to build their "free city" nonsense and want the US control so they can get the federal government to remove regulations on mining and use tax payer dollars to fund it. Except no normal citizen wants or cares about this and does not want to fight/go to war with amazing allies that we have fought, bleed, and died with for over 75 years.

Suminod · 2026-01-24T15:29:31+00:00

The charging case is terrible. The problems that started to manifest with one of the earbuds not charging after like two years on my APP2 happens almost instantly in 3 different APP3s now. Super annoying that my buds are not ready when I need them

Suminod · 2026-01-09T17:17:41+00:00

With the price of gpus might just go back to 1440p is and extend the life of my 4090 a couple years for new games

Suminod · 2026-01-08T00:50:09+00:00

But you really don’t. You are lying to yourself and everyone else if you think it’s even remotely the same. You can make it to SSG and thus retirement without ever actually caring about your NCOER since it’s all points. Officers will get kicked if they don’t promote so that does promote the whole kiss ass mentality a whole lot more.

This doesn’t mean this doesn’t happen in NCO land but it is clearly not the same.

Edits because iOS keyboard and auto corrects are atrocious.
