Same, but with PS4 Platinum headset. That headset was fucking amazing, but my sister barged in my room, it fell off my head, and it got fucked up pretty badly. Are the Stealth 600s good? Idk if it'll be better then the $150 Platinum headset, but I didn't have time to watch reviews, and I know Turtle Beach is a good brand.

[@mikeh.9954]

I just received my Gen 2 today. I was able to get it set up & play a few games on the Xbox. My initial thoughts? This is a huge jump when compared to my wired Amazon $40 headset. It reminds me of the Gold headset on the PS4 with regards to separating out the game & voice chat.

[@Awesome_Force]

Seems good. I'll either get these or the 700 gen 2. I mostly want them for single player games like State of Decay 2. I wanted something that connects wirelessly to my XB1X so it can have more than just stereo sound since that is all I can get with the 3.5mm AUX cables. I need to replace my Hyper X headphones because even though I've only used them for over 30 hours, they keep shocking my left ear for some reason if I move my head at all while gaming.

[@TheyCallMeHighTide]

Thank you !

[@Clarkvasquez]

Gen 2 has a lot of defects than the gen 1 one of the big issues is the bug that causes a disconnect from the console and then refuse to power off and when you want to reset it on your pc it will not connect at all since it's stuck in a loop of both on and off, thus you have to wait 10 hours or more to drain the battery till you can recharge the device one of the few series I wouldn't recommend in people to get (buy something other than the 600 series) and this issue has been on the rise now for a good amount of time on both systems of Playstation and Xbox.

[@thefunmonkey9154]

You could just hold the pairing button and the mode butting together until it shuts off this forces it to shut down

[@-frenzy6423]

Quick but maybe dumb question do these work with the series s don't seem like the usb cord isn't fitting in the slot in the front we'll or maybe im not trying hard enough. Trying to be careful just got it today

[@hotjoe-wl8gc]

I have a BIG problem with this headset. I tested it with my Series X, One X and PC with the Wireless USB Adapter. On ALL three devices I have sound drops in between every few seconds. Latest software is installed v.1.2.9, actually NO new version released yet from Turtle Beach. What I also did is a HARD RESET with the headset. Finally I went to the shop where I bought it and did a replacement to get another one. But the same prob is still there. Anyone can help me to solve this prob???

[@AndDrew]

Did you ever resolve this issue?

[@hotjoe-wl8gc]

@@AndDrew No, I sold it on eBay. And a replacement didn't match because it had the same prob.

You can turn off mic monitoring through the turtle beach app on pc or lower it

[@jackblackmon8345]

How do I connect the headset to my Xbox when I plug the thing into my cbox it just flashes green???

[@seanhickling7340]

I have had this headset for a few months now and I thought I would explain the problems that I have with this headset that make me wish I had looked elsewhere. 1) Mic is way too sensitive. People in party chat can even hear traffic passing my home. If I turn down the volume to where they can't hear external noises I can barely tell what they are saying. 2) No ventilation on the ear cups. After a very short time (less than an hour) my ears become very hot, sweaty and uncomfortable. I also detest that due to the fully enclosed ear cups and lack of ventilation that it is like being in a vacuum that I find sensorily uncomfortable. 3) The volume dials are positioned such that I find it nigh on impossible to put them on or remove without inadvertently turning them. It's really annoying.

[@eclipse12121]

They sure do cut out any external noise. I cannot hear a thing around me with them on. Not necessarily a good thing.

[@khalilwilson2586]

Another thing I would add, I have the PlayStation set and after a year of having them they rarely connect on the first attempt. Takes about 5 attempts now

Bought it today, me and my brother play in the same room and when he talks it comes over my mic really easily. Also seems like the sync button may have already broken worked when i first synced it, did the pc update and went to reconnect to my xbox and had to press the sync button towards the side to make it work.

[@kharvonokathorce4316]

I can't also sync it with mi xbox. I have the same issue apparently, sync button seems to be broken but even when I press it by the side, it doesn't change the light indicator. should it change from two lights in a row, then off and then two lights in a row again to enter in sync mode? thanks!

[@dylanperfected1555]

I just got the headset. Fully updated it. And the volume on Destiny 2 is unbelievably low. I haven’t tried other games but I really shouldn’t have to. I believe the headset is at 50% for volume or something because usually you can go to the Audio setting on Xbox and make the headset louder. But with this all the controls are on the headset itself so the Audio settings do not show up. I need to know if there is a way to make the headset louder.

I bought two of these, one broke within a week , I presume because of shoddy plastics. I wrote to turtle beach and they were actually quite accommodating in getting me a RMA (return merchandise agreement which I didn't even have to send the original one back) and I was sent a brand new replacement. Roll forward 9 months, the new one has broken in the same place, and the original one that didn't break right away is now broken in the SAME PLACE as the other two! The plastic just snapped. I am not a person who is rough on my electronics. They just broke, now I have 3 unusable units. I am quite disappointed. Even the $10 headphones I got from big lots are more durable. I'd steer clear of these.

[@jujuonthathello6447]

Did the plastic piece that holds the ear piece snap? I had the same thing happen to me with two of them and I just had to tape the second one and deal with it.
