SOLID VIDEO! I knew about holding the button for 3 seconds or so to get the pairing mode activated. I'm so glad that someone took the time to make this video for all the other customers that own these headphones. I spent quite a bit of time frustrated before I figured out what your video is here to teach everyone! Nice work!
I'm happy I could help!
... Yeah I also hate being frustrated about not having knowledge that I think _should_ have been made commonplace
Thank you.
You made pairing seem so easy.
I didn’t realize the light turned red when the mike was muted.
You're welcome!
glad I could help you get it all sorted!
Thank you so much man
I was about to contact turtle beach support but you helped infinitely!

Thank you
Happy to help!
I’m stuck with a red light and mine won’t make another noise
@@mcdonaldsman3895 headset or transmitter red light? Headset red light is either not enough power if solid or if it's breathing red battery is low.

They uh, they need to do some housekeeping when it comes to making information available...
Thanks 👍🏿
Definitely a life saver 🙏🙏🙏

first person ive ever subbed to thank you for your quick super simple video
Damn, that's high praise!
Thanks man, glad I could help!
I just figured how to pair them if they are different colors. It's the same process it just takes really long to connect just be patient
How long does it take bc I got a new headset that’s black but the usb is white and the headset doesn’t pair it just turns off after a while
Omg bro thank u
You're welcome!
i owe you one !
Gotchu homie!
Just had to replace my USB this was so helpful thank you!! ❤
You're very welcome!!
Thanks bro
no prob!
This must be for just the USB versions because my headset has native connectivity to xbox so it recognizes it as another controller when it connects
As a controller? It shouldn't show up as a controller in devices, it should show up as a headset.
This video was such a life saver
Happy I could help!
Bro just saved me from having to buy a new headset!! Appreciate it 🎉
Glad I could help!
so idk why but it works on my pc but on my xbox i paired it was solid and i still wasnt able to hear anything. I have the turtle beach stealth 600 usb the fully white color way but idk whats going on.On the start up guide it doesnt say how to connect it to xbox only pc, nintendo, mac, and ps5
You have a stealth 600 USB for PlayStation. They are different and that would explain your symptoms.
I have a question: my usb(not max) is blinking blue and my headset is breathing green. Can they still connect?
If it's blinking blue that sounds like the transmitter you're trying to connect to is for a PlayStation headset but your headset is for the Xbox... That's my guess anyway
Thank you so much I’ve been trying forever
Happy I could help! I'm not really sure why this isn't what's included as the instructions in the QSG...
10 months late but so clutch thank you didn’t know I had to hold it the whole time just got this stealth and couldn’t get it for days
It doesn't help that the QSG has the wrong info hahaha.
You're welcome though!
Dude ur awesome I have wanted 8 videos before this and ur the only one who helped me
Wow, really? Hey, glad I could help then!
@@Kage_Okami yea everyone else was just hold the button then pair then turn Xbox off then on then hold for 3 seconds I was like what the hell…
@@Kage_Okami not a single person even mentioned plugging the drive in just to use it to update. So thank you so very much because that one stupid detail is all I needed
@@RavenFoss *Y I K E S*
but you're very welcome!
@@RavenFoss LMAO the whole xbox!?
When I connect them my lights are blue not green. I bought it specifically for Xbox. Does it mean that the one I have is meant for PlayStation?
That certainly sounds like it. Did you buy a Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX or USB for Xbox? The name is important
My hedset won't do the breathing thing
Okay so I have the stealth 600 Gen 2 USB Xbox it's black and green I ordered the replacement thing cuz I got the headset used but they didn't have the transmitter they took the serial number from it and send me the correct one or supposedly mine doesn't have a switch for USB or Xbox there's no switch on my transmitter at all. And when I plug it into the Xbox it's not lighting up there's no like there's a spot where it should have a light but there is no light and I know that USB works because it works for everything else.
The USB version shouldn't have a switch because it only runs in Xbox mode, so that part at least checks out.
Does your Xbox have multiple USB ports? I would say try a different port first. And if you're using a USB hub, try a different hub and then remove the hub and go directly into the Xbox.
On other devices when you plug in the transmitter, what color does it light up? Blue or green?
@@Kage_Okamifor me it only lights up blue… plz help lol?
@@bxuder3010 blue? Sounds like you have a PlayStation headset
i got a gen 2 max for ps5 but it wont wanna pair at all tried different things but sadly enough nothing at all, and if i try to update firmware i get a notification 'please connect additional components' and both of my usb ports are working oh andddd... its brandnew pls help
Are you trying to connect a PlayStation MAX to the Xbox? If that's the case it's never going to work, both modes on the MAX for PlayStation are HID, regular USB protocol. The Xbox only reads its own protocol.
The PlayStation MAX doesn't have any special pairing system, it's automatic. I would suggest trying to power on both units at roughly the same time. You usually have a better chance at getting them to pair if the cycles are pretty close to syncing up.
I'd also suggest plugging the transmitter into some other USB port (doesn't even need a data connection to pair), so if you have a USB power outlet you can still pair to a headset, you just won't get audio to pass til you move the transmitter.
Also try not using a USB hub if possible, they can be wonky with power regulation.
@@Kage_Okami no i try to connect my ps5
my headset and everything is connected to my xbox series s but my tv audio won’t come out of my headset, any advice?
Is your headset connected to the transmitter? If the transmitter is plugged in it will reroute audio, but it won't play anything if it's not paired.
Also make sure your volume wheels aren't muted. (The top one is game audio!)
For some reason when I plug in the transmitter, it doesn’t blind green. It stays gray, does that mean it’s broken?
Gray? Oh, like it doesn't light up at all? I would say try a different port first, and then another device -- but it does sound like it's not getting power/not the right amount of power to start up
Us same exact headphones but for some reason they just wont connect to my xbox works just fine for my ps5 just not xbox and its weird because their the same ones you use i just dont understand
If you have a playstation 600 USB it *WILL NOT* work on the Xbox.
You *NEED* an XBOX 600 Gen 2 _MAX_ if you want to use it on both consoles. Remember to flip the switch between USB and Xbox mode for PlayStation use and Xbox mode, respectively.
If you bought a PlayStation 600 Gen 2 MAX it _also_ won't work on the Xbox, it has two modes that read in USB protocol. Why they decided to do this, no one will ever know...
What is my usb for the headset only says PS - PC ?? I have an Xbox and I cannot figure out how to connect my headset
You cannot use that on an Xbox. You need a headset with an Xbox wireless mode to have it work on an Xbox.
You need to buy a MAX for Xbox, but what you have is a MAX for PlayStation.
Are the 600 Gen 2 Max not compatible with the 360? I can pair my headset but get no sound
The Xbox Wireless from 360 is different than the Xbox Wireless that the One and Series consoles use. It probably can't send/receive information.
Mine workd perfect but my mic doesnt work and i Just got the Headset today
Are you trying to play call of duty? There's a call of duty bug with a bunch of headsets where it registers wireless headsets as controllers, until you disconnect and reconnect them after the game is open. Super weird bug
My usb stick doesn’t light up at all I’ve only had this headset for a month lmao, please let me know if you know what’s wrong
If there's no light at all you're probably not getting any power. Try a different USB port and then a different device's USB ports!
You rock
:D Glad I could help!
My headset just has a red light and it doesn’t make a sound when I try turn it off or on
That sounds like the battery is dead or the firmware is bunged
I got mine from a pawnshop my family owns and it just came with the headset no usb thing or anything
Transmitter is a constant red everytime I plug it in
That means your transmitter isn't booting correctly. Either the USB port is damaged or the pins are damaged
I tried holding the power button down for it to do the boop boop so it can breath and it’s not doing anything
Hmm, you might have to contact support
Do you know how to fix it if the headset pairs but it doesnt transmit audio?
Are you using a USB for playstation on your Xbox? Or a USB for Xbox on your playstation? In those situations the headset cannot exchange any data with the console because the USB protocols are different.
If you want to buy one headset and use it on both consoles, you're going to *specifically need* a MAX for Xbox, which has a switch that will allow you to change the USB protocol modes.
The MAX for PlayStation reads in regular USB protocol in BOTH modes, so it still won't work on your Xbox.
@@Kage_Okami sorry I should have provided more info. So I have the stealth 600 max PlayStation version and have been using it on ps5. They were great until yesterday when they stopped pairing. After much googling and youtubing I got them to pair however no audio is transmitted to the headset even after hooking them to my PC and updating them. I have tried both USB and ps on the dongle yet nothing works.
@@GamerJoe85 does your computer recognize both the headset and transmitter as their proper devices when they're connected via USB? sounds like there's still an information transfer issue?
Ty
yw!
My USB is flashing purple but my headset is flashing blue. I used the headset for about a month or so just fine, and now it is having issues. I have the Stealth 600 Gen 2 USB…
Purple usually means it can't get out of boot up (which is red), my best guess is that either the USB port or the transmitter may be damaged.
Just bought a pair! They connect just like you explain, start to use them and they shut off. I plug it in and it’s a solid green light. I’m about to take them back.
Could be a battery issue.. sorry to hear that man
my transmitter and headset are paired (red when mic muted) but it’s not connecting to the xbox so i still can’t hear anything out of the headset. any tips?
If you're on a MAX and you're in USB mode, your Xbox can't process any of the data. Make sure you're in Xbox mode on the transmitter.
Xboxes don't read USB protocol, they read a different kind of protocol.
@@Kage_Okami not max regular stealth’s
@@jay_boss.302 If you have a windows 10 or 11 machine and you connect the transmitter and pair to the headset, do they appear as "Xbox controller" and pass audio?
If they do the port(s) on your Xbox might be going...
This is the only helpful video on the turtle beach 600 Stealth gen 2 max👍🏼
That's high praise, thanks!!
I have S600 Gen2P, when I connect with my cell phone's Bluetooth, they don't connect, they appear in the Bluetooth, will it be a factory problem or do I have to restart them? somebody help me please
Turtle Beach 600 series headphones DO NOT have classic BT, they will never be able to play audio over a BT connection.
I have the head set gen 2 not max but I lost the usb can I buy another usb instead of the head set and will it work?
As long as you get the same model's USB transmitter it should work!
How do you pair the USB with a replacement transmitter
As long as the model is the same the pairing process is the same!
If you have a different model's transmitter it won't work
Mine poured but Xbox isn’t showing that it’s connected and there is no sound
Do you have a PlayStation headset?
Also are you playing call of duty? There's a glitch right now where your headset will register as a controller until you disconnect and reconnect every time
The light on my headset stays red and doesn’t change by the on button
That sounds like a battery problem, either your headset isn't charged or the battery isn't taking the charge.
Mine still randomly switches off after about a minute even though it’s been on charge for an hour. Any help?
That unfortunately sounds like some kind of battery issue, don't think that pairing is your problem.. You'll probably have to contact support about that, sorry!
I have tried to connect my headset multiple times because my transmitter just goes to a red breathing mode, pls help because my headset is brand new
Red breathing on the transmitter means your headset and transmitter are connected but your headset is muted. It sounds like you've already succeeded!
Mine is connected to my ps5 and both are solid green but I cant change microphone on controller to headset?
If you have a 600 gen 2 USB for Xbox it will never work on your PS5. The Xbox USB protocol is different than a standard USB device's, the PS5 cannot read it.
@Kage_Okami Thanks 😊 yeah figured so just using a hands free till I can get a decent headset.
@@mdeezgamez good luck! I hope you find a good alternative!
The USB doesn't have any light at all coming from it, like it won't turn on
You probably have to contact support for that, if you've made sure it's not just on that one USB port
Hey there my usb part of my headset just stays read is there any fix??
If it stays red you're either not getting (enough) power or your firmware is bunged. I would say try another USB port/device and see if it still comes up red.
Otherwise, you'll probably have to talk to support!
I didn't use my headset for 1 year because I thought It wouldn't pair.
This SAVED me. Thanks🎉🎉🎉
Hell yeah! Glad I could help!
Where can I get that thing so I can Bluetooth my headset to my Xbox?
Bluetooth? Mmm that won't work with a 600 gen 1 or 2, they don't have bluetooth
My usb transmitter is solid red. I have contacted PlayStation, Best Buy, and Turtle Beach and they are all telling me to reset the headset and it still doesn’t work.
If your transmitter is solid red it's not booting properly. If it does the same thing in every USB port on other devices it's the transmitter that's broken.
My stick doesn’t even light up, have any idea why?
Unrelated but does anyone's head set break after using it for a while? I've gone though 3 now and they keep breaking from fatigue
Cracking near the arm joint? I've definitely had that happen before...
@@Kage_Okami Yeah it really sucks too because its the most stressed part and super glue doe not work
@@dannydeko331 I've seen people try tape and glue, but yeah... you almost need to re-melt the whole arm together, which... Let's face it, nobody is going to do lol.
Brother, the usb is special or whatever and it has to be without any memory, well, without movies and like this or how
W-what??
It takes a special USB or it can be any
@@Kage_OkamiIt takes a special USB or it can be any
@@susanasuyevyrodriguez4352 You need a Stealth 600 Gen 2 USB for Xbox USB dongle for the USB and a Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX for Xbox USB dongle for the MAX.
I think that's what you're asking?
So if turtle beach is officially licensed for Xbox, should all of them be compatible with with Xbox one s & up? Cause I literally can’t hear anything from mine
They will work as long as they weren't intended for 360, so the same stuff that works on S/X works on all the One consoles One/S/X. Xbox wireless changed between the one and 360 generation.
@@Kage_Okami yea bruh, I have the black & blue stelth 600 gen 2, on Amazon it only mentioned for PlayStation & PC, but I disregarded that since turtle beach is licensed for Xbox, & it came with the usb, I just can’t seem to get it to connect
@@afandiamin1912 the PlayStation version is different than the Xbox. You would need an Xbox MAX unit to work on both consoles
@@Kage_Okami that’s so annoying, so I bought it for no reason 🤣🤦🏾♂️cause yes in the description it didn’t mention Xbox, I just disregarded it, since turtle beach says “officially licensed for Xbox” so one would assume all of them should work on all Xbox’s right? 🤣but noooo! Thank you tho !🫡
@@afandiamin1912 that does suck but yeah if you can return it I'd say go for it and grab a MAX unit!
Hey the hedset color on mine is just completely red, cant hear or speak on it or anything
The headset LED is solid red? Or you have a red MAX?
If the headset LED is solid red that means it's charging, and the charging LED behaviors take precedence over other behaviors. If it's plugged in to charge, try removing the USB cable and then checking your lights!
@@Kage_Okami I have attempted to charge it to no avail, it’s still just red and unresponsive. I am honestly very confused.
@@user-gc4oj1th4h Sounds like you gotta talk to support...
What if the usb isn’t lit up when plugged into Xbox?
That sounds like something is wrong with the port or the transmitter itself. Try plugging it into another port on something else or even a wall USB socket to see if it ever powers on. If it doesn't you'll probably have to contact support.
How do you fix it so you can talk I can hear but it won’t let me talk
Does your mic not unmute anymore? You have to physically lower and raise it (lowered all the way is unmuted)
Same issue.
So i got a gen 2 usb dont even turn on when i plug the usb
Hmmmm, That could be a battery problem... That doesn't sound good.
anyone know why my transmitter led doesn’t have any light coming out?
Did you try it in a different USB port? And then on a different device? It's possible it's broken but you won't know til you plug it in somewhere else!
@@Kage_OkamiI know the USB port where the transmitter is connected is receiving power. So I plugged the transmitter in a different USB port and it still didn’t show any light coming out.
@@losangels8655 try on another device, if it still doesn't light up it's broken
How do I get it to still hear sound with mic muted
... what?
The mic muting is independent of the incoming volume which you control via the wheels.
What should I do my usb dose not turn on
Try it in a different port, then on a different device! Make sure it's the dongle and not the console/port first :)
Will the Standard 2nd gen on xbox work on ps4 with a type c?
Nope, the original stealth 600 gen 2 for Xbox has a different USB protocol than what a PlayStation or switch would need to read.
@@Kage_Okami that rips ass fr thanks man
@@pxrceived5898 😂🤣 you're welcome though
My transmitter light won't turn on when I plug it into the Xbox?😢 Why?
Check it in a different USB port, and then on a different device and see if the same thing is happening! That'll tell you if it's the transmitter or your port/device.
Yeah I did and the light on the USB still won't go on I contacted turtle Beach and I'm waiting for them to call me on Monday or Tuesday but thank you very much for this video 🙏😊
@@angelicaceballos912 I hope you get a new transmitter soon! :)
And thank you!
I got solid green on both but my Xbox won’t say headset assigned.
if you're on a MAX, make sure the transmitter is in Xbox mode. It will power on but won't actually be able to transfer any data to/from an Xbox if you're in USB/PC mode.
@@Kage_Okami it’s the usb headset not the max :/
@@yomamahouse7725 does anything come up in the accessories menu? If nothing pops up you're probably gonna have to talk to support :(
@@Kage_Okami no it acts as if nothing is connected but the lights on the headphones and the transmitter show it’s connected. I contacted support and I have a warranty so I should be fine just waiting on a response. Just sucks cause they are only a few months old
@@yomamahouse7725 the only other thing to ask would be are you trying to connect and play call of duty? COD is registering wireless headsets as controllers for some reason, you have to disconnect the headset and reconnect it after you boot the game every single time. I'm sure COD isn't the only game that does this but it's the one this happens most often with...
Why won’t mine go into pairing mode?
Are you sure you have a gen 2 MAX or USB for Xbox? The PlayStation versions do not work like this
Mine solid blue on Xbox but wont connect anyone got any tips
blue means you're on a playstation headset. Your LEDs should be green.
The Xbox cannot read regular USB (HID) protocol. They'll connect because you're powering the transmitter, but they'll never pass audio.
Is there any way to get the ps version to pair with Xbox
Nope, the PlayStation MAX version has a PC and PS Mode, both of which are unreadable on the Xbox...
WHAT A LEGEND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. EASY LIKE FOR THIS GUY
THANKS MAN
I need help my gen 600 it was working 1 hour a go and I come back to repair it and it’s not connecting
Did you try turning your console off and on again?
@@Kage_Okamiyes I did
@@user-mj2mn4rq9y check to make sure your battery is charged and then next thing I'd see is if it connects if you change the USB port the transmitter is connected to

@@user-mj2mn4rq9y unfortunately, sounds like you're going to have to talk to support
I just moved thank you
You're welcome!
My headset won’t pair and won’t produce audio
I would say try to make sure you're plugging in the transmitter around the same time you're starting to power on the headset to pair. You can also try pairing the headset and transmitter on a different device and then moving the transmitter over.
I mean the last part makes sense, if they're not paired they're not going to be able to communicate with one another.
Mine must be messed up because this isn’t working for me
Are you sure you don't have an original 600 or a 600 Gen 2 (NOT MAX/USB)? they have different pairing setups.
Mine won't pair
Did you get it paired
What if the light doesn’t come on?
If you have no lights at all something isn't getting power.
Bruh mines don’t even work it don’t even say (headset assigned)
In the devices menu does anything come up? If not your transmitter isn't working and you'll have to contact support
How do you unmute. Got it connected but dont hear anything
Oh. You don't mean the mic, you mean the audio. If you're connected to an Xbox, the top wheel controls your game volume, if you're connected to a Windows 10 or 11 machine in Xbox mode (on the MAX, there's only Xbox mode on the USB), whichever dial is higher controls more of your volume.
@Kage_Okami Yeah, my brother had this mic on ps4. It's the white one. I got it to connect and the bottom wheel is working which I think is the noise canceling one but the top one which should be the volume isn't doing anything, it's like it's working but it's not. And when in party it says I have no mic
@@kyroodith if you're using a USB on a PS4, that's your problem. The USB only runs Xbox mode, it cannot be read by a regular USB reader, like the PlayStation. You need a gen 2 USB for PLAYSTATION if you want to use it on PlayStation, and a Gen 2 USB for XBOX if you want to use it on an Xbox. The USB for Xbox cannot be read by a PlayStation (it will power on but can't exchange data) and the USB for PlayStation cannot be read by an Xbox (it will power on but can't exchange data).
