Faro Stealth 2 ANR: Mid-Priced, Oversized

Our evaluators say the 16-ounce Stealth 2 has moderate head clamping forces, but the set is eyeglasses friendly.

Nevada-based Faro Aviation has come on strong the past few years in the competitive headset market with a diverse model lineup. The latest Stealth 2, which is sold exclusively through Sporty’s, comes in two price points. There’s the $249.95 passive version and also the $449.95 ANR model with wireless Bluetooth, which is what we tried for the latest in our series of headset field reports. 

We think the price is fair and the set has smart features, but its thick ear seals may be a tough fit for smaller heads.
