Stealth LED Panther Headset review - "A budget-friendly, high-quality headset"

• Budget-friendly wired headset that offers high-quality sound.
• The Stealth LED Panther is accessible and just what you would expect from a gaming headset.
• The RGB lights are minimalistic but give it just enough pizazz to stand out.

I've tried the Stealth LED Panther Headset, and I am thrilled to have found my next go-to gaming gear. In my life, I've had tens of headphones, headsets, and even earbuds, but when it comes to something reliable, when I play games such as Path of Exile or League of Legends, I need to hear every single sound. That's usually how I know I've found a good one. 

In this review, I will tell you all about my experience using the Stealth LED Panther Headset with its pros and cons. Yeah, there are a couple of minus points from me, but for the most part, I am extremely happy with them.

Comfortable headset for long gaming sessions 

I spent an entire weekend using the headphones and playing Path of Exile and I never once had any discomfort. The fabric felt good over the ears - it's soft, and it isolates the sound extremely well. It's almost like having sound-cancelling headphones - that's simply the best when playing games where sound is so important, because it won't allow any outer distractions. 

As for the overall design, I'm pleased. The Stealth LED Panther Headset looks good and has a minimalist design enhanced by a new RGB light strip around the ear cups. Furthermore, I like the button placement a lot. 

The buttons make for really easy controls without additional apps

I believe there are two types of people: those who have their headphones on max volume and adjust everything else from the app, or those who have the app volume on max and adjust the volume from the headphones. I am one of those people who likes to adjust everything from the headphones, and having the chance to do that here is a big deal.

I don't want to change tabs when I'm in the middle of a gaming session, so I would take the volume and other controls integrated into the headset any day. 

The microphone is great, but I'm not a fan of it not being removable. I sometimes just want to kick back and listen to the news or watch a video without having a microphone in my face. It is not exactly comfortable if you want to eat or drink while wearing the headset, so to me, it's not ideal. If you don't mind it though, there's plenty more to make up for that little "inconvenience". 

Even though I am a fan of wireless/Bluetooth headphones, the Stealth LED Panther Headset has a long enough cable (1.20m) to allow you freedom of movement. And something else that I think is important is the fact that the cable is durable, which means you won't have connectivity issues after a while. You know when you have to start twisting the cable so both speakers actually work? Yeah, I don't think you'll have such a problem with these ones. 

Talking about the sound, it works and sounds perfectly. The voice is clear when you talk on Discord with friends or for a podcast (my wife used it during our weekly Pocket Gamer Podcast and she was super happy with it), so I'd say it's a reliable and budget-friendly peripheral to use for podcasts too.

The price for the headset is £34.99, and you can purchase them from Stealth and Smyths.
