SETUP FOR XBOX

1. Connect the transmitter to the USB port on the Xbox console.

2. Press and hold the  power button  to power the headset on.

3. Wait for the headset and transmitter to pair. When the headset and transmitter are successfully paired, the LEDs on both will turn  solid green.

RE-PAIRING

1. Start with the headset powered  OFF.
2. Press and hold the  Power button on the headset until the headset’s LED starts  flashing rapidly.
3. Connect the transmitter to the console.
4. After a few moments, the headset and transmitter LEDs will become  solid , indicating a successful pairing.

Manual Pairing Instructions

Your headset and transmitter will already be paired out of the box. If the headset/transmitter LEDs are double-blinking green, the headset and transmitter may need to be re-paired. To do so, please do the following:
1. Start with the headset powered OFF.
2. Press and hold the power button on the headset until the headset’s LED starts “breathing” green.

3. Insert the transmitter into the console. Wait until the transmitter’s LED starts to double-blink.

4. After a few moments, your headset and transmitter LEDs should become solid green — if your mic is muted, the transmitter LED will instead be breathing red.

If the LEDs still double-blink green after this process is performed, or if the headset and transmitter otherwise do not pair after this process, please contact our  support team  for further assistance.

Headset Controls And Audio Features

The Stealth 600 Gen 2 USB For Xbox headset uses a flip-to-mute mic.  To use the mic, gently push (“flip”) the mic forwards. You will hear a tone (low high) when the mic is unmuted. When the mic is fully flipped forwards, it will “lock” into position. To mute the mic, just flip the mic back the other way. You will hear a tone (high low) when the mic is muted.

There are also a variety of features and controls located on the headset itself.

This headset does offer independent game and chat volume control. The  upper volume dial  will control the game volume, while the  lower volume dial will control the chat volume.

The  Mode  button (below the Chat Volume dial) will cycle through the headset’s EQ Presets. Those EQ Presets are as follows:  Signature Sound , Bass Boost ,  Bass + Treble Boost , and  Vocal Boost.

Press and hold  the  Power  button (next to the Mode button) to power the headset on , or to  power the headset off.  Quick-press the  Power  button to  engage  or  disengage Superhuman Hearing , which will allow you to pinpoint quiet audio cues like enemy footsteps and weapon reloads.

Plug the included USB-C Charge Cable in to the  USB-C Charge & Update Port on the headset and a USB port on the console to charge the headset, or a USB port on a computer to update the headset’s firmware.

Next to the USB Charge & Update port is the headset’s  LED indicator. This LED will change to indicate the headset’s charging or pairing status, as detailed below.

** When charging while powered OFF, LED will turn off when battery is charged fully.

**Please Note:  To conserve battery life, your headset will power off after no audio is played through it for a set amount of time. This is a fixed feature, and cannot be adjusted. This feature helps to save battery life – if you forget to power the headset off for the night after a long gaming session, you will only lose a few minutes of battery life, not a whole night’s worth.

To easily avoid the Auto-Shutdown feature, you can keep some music playing in the background, like the game’s soundtrack. The headset will detect the audio, and will not engage the Auto-Shutdown feature. Please note that mic input alone will not avoid the Auto-Shutdown feature. **

Turtle Beach Audio Hub (Desktop App)

With the desktop version of the Turtle Beach Audio Hub — available for Windows and Mac  here  — you can adjust and control some of the headset’s features.

**PLEASE NOTE: The headset  MUST be powered on, and the headset and transmitter  MUST be paired, for the Turtle Beach Audio Hub to recognize the headset/transmitter. If the headset is not powered on, or the headset and transmitter are not paired, the Turtle Beach Audio Hub will  NOT recognize your device, and you will see an error message. If this happens, disconnect and reconnect the headset and transmitter, and power the headset on. The headset and transmitter will pair, and the Audio Hub will then recognize your device.* *****

HOME PAGE

The home page will show an image of the headset on the left sidebar, as well as options to Restore or Update the firmware. On the top-right of that page, you’ll see the version of the Audio Hub written in gray.

There will also be two slider settings. One will be labeled “ Mic Monitor Level “. The other will be labeled “ Tones Level “.

• Mic Monitor Level  will control the volume of the  Mic Monitor  feature — this is  how loud you hear yourself through the headset when you speak into the mic. The aim of this feature is to help you avoid inadvertently yelling at other people and/or players.
  • Please Note:  The headset itself is not equipped with any sort of volume control for the outbound volume level of its microphone — therefore, the Mic Monitor volume control will adjust  only  how loud you hear your own voice through the headset when you speak into the mic,  not  how loud other people will hear your voice when you speak.
• Tones Level  will control the volume of the headset’s  Indicator Tones  — these are the tones that play when the headset is powered on, the mic is muted or unmuted, or a feature (like Superhuman Hearing) is engaged or disengaged. This also controls the volume of the tones that play when the EQ Preset is switched via the Mode button.

INFORMATION PAGE

The second page of the Turtle Beach Audio Hub is the Information page. This will provide the following information:

• Headset Model

• Audio Hub Version Number

• Firmware Version Number (for both headset and transmitter)

• Links to FAQ and the Technical Support Site

No Mic Audio

The Stealth 600 Gen 2 USB For Xbox has a flip-to-mute mic. To use the mic, gently push (“flip”) the mic forwards. You will hear a tone (low high) when the mic is unmuted. When the mic is fully flipped forwards, it will “lock” into position. To mute the mic, just flip the mic back the other way. You will hear a tone (high low) when the mic is muted.

If other players are unable to hear you in Xbox Live/Party chat, or in an in- game chat on your Xbox console, please check the following.

**1. The Headset/Transmitter Are Paired/Headset Is Detected By

Console**

The headset and transmitter need to be paired in order to be used for game and chat audio. If the headset and transmitter are not paired, you will likely not be able to hear the incoming game/chat audio, or be heard clearly in chat.

To verify that the headset and transmitter are successfully paired to each other:

• Make sure the transmitter is plugged in to the console, and the headset is powered on. Then, look at the LEDs on the headset and transmitter. Both should be solid green.

If the transmitter or headset LEDs are double-blinking green, the headset and transmitter are likely not paired, and the pairing process will need to be performed again. To do so:

1. Connect the transmitter to the USB port on the Xbox console.
2. Press and hold the power button to power the headset on.
3. Wait for the headset and transmitter to pair. When the headset and transmitter are successfully paired, the LEDs on both will turn solid green.

Once the LEDs on the headset and transmitter are solid green, make sure that the console is recognizing the headset. To do so:

1. Press the Xbox/Home button on the Xbox One controller.
2. Go to  Settings >> All Settings >> Kinect  & Devices >> Devices  &   Accessories.
3. You will see the controller you are currently using; you should be able to scroll to the right to see other devices being used with the Console. The headset will appear in this list as  “Headset”.

Do you see the headset in that list?

If the headset and console are paired, and you can see the headset in that list, but you cannot be heard, please proceed to step 2.

If you do not see that headset listed, please contact our  Support Team.

2. Party Chat/Icon Ring Test

If the headset is paired to the transmitter and is being detected by the console, we’d need to verify that the mic is being picked up by the console next.

To do so:

1. Press the Xbox/Home button on the Xbox controller.
2. Scroll to the  Parties & Chats tab, and select  “Start A Party”. You do not need to invite any other players to your party; you can still perform this test even if you are the only party member.
3. Speak into the mic. When you speak into the mic, does a ring light up around the icon next to your Gamertag (in the list of party members)?

Regardless of the results of this test, please continue to Step 3 — but if you did not see that icon ring, please keep that in mind for now.

3. Record A Test Message

1. Press the Xbox button while in the home screen.
2. Go to  Parties & Chats tab, and select  New Chat
3. Select someone from the list (you do not have to select anyone in particular, as you will not be sending this message), and then tap the Menu button to complete the selection.
4. After you choose a person, two options will appear:  Write a Message  (pencil icon on left) and  Record a Message  (mic icon on right). Select the  Record a Message/Mic  icon on the right.
5. Select  Record , and then speak into the mic. When you are done recording, stop the recording.
6. The new recording should appear under the Write a Message/Record a Message icons. Select  Play , and listen to that recording you made. This will tell you how your voice will sound to other players. Can you hear your voice clearly?

If the ring around your icon lights up during Step 2, and you can hear what you had recorded in Step 3 clearly and consistently when you play it back, the mic itself is working well — please proceed to Step 4.

If the ring around your icon does not light up during Step 2, and you cannot hear what you had recorded in Step 3 clearly and consistently when you play it back, please contact the  support team  with the results of Steps 2 and 3 for additional assistance.

4. Power Cycle Headset/Console

To perform a quick power cycle with the Headset/Console, please do the following, in this order:

1. Press and hold the  Power Button  on the headset until the  Power LED  turns off.
2. Disconnect the transmitter from the console.
3. Power down the Xbox console. When it has fully powered down, unplug the console from the wall outlet.
4. Let everything sit for a minute.
5. Plug the console back in, and power the console on again.
6. After the console has fully powered on and loaded up, reconnect the transmitter to the console.
7. Press and hold the  Power button  on the headset until the  Power LED  lights up.
8. Re-pair the headset and transmitter.

To pair the headset:

1. Connect the transmitter to the USB port on the Xbox console.
2. Press and hold the power button to power the headset on.
3. Wait for the headset and transmitter to pair. When the headset and transmitter are successfully paired, the LEDs on both will turn solid green.

If the mic issues persist even after a power cycle is performed, please contact the  support team  for additional assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions regarding the Stealth Gen 2 USB for Xbox.

COMPATIBILITY

1. What platform is this headset compatible with?

• Xbox consoles, including both Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S

2. Does this headset offer Bluetooth compatibility?

• No.  This headset does not have any Bluetooth capability, and will not pair to any Bluetooth-enabled device at all.

CHARGING

1. Can I charge the headset while I use it? Can I use a USB Wall Adapter instead of the console to charge the headset?

• We recommend charging the headset between uses for the best experience.
• While we recommend using the console to charge the headset for convenience, you certainly can use a USB Wall Adapter to charge the headset.

HEADSET FEATURES

1. Does this headset offer independent game and chat volume controls?

• Yes.  The upper volume dial will control the game audio volume. The lower volume dial will control the chat audio volume.

2. I can hear my own voice (or other background noises) when I speak. Is that normal?

• It’s possible you are referring to the  Mic Monitor  feature, which allows you to hear your own voice through the headset when you speak into the mic, to help you avoid inadvertently yelling at other people/players.
• If the headset’s Mic Monitor control is turned up too high it may play back noises from the room you’re in. This can result in you hearing echoes, hiss and/or static in your headset while you’re using it.

3. How do I adjust the Mic Monitor feature?

1. If you have not yet done so, download the  Turtle Beach Audio Hub.
2. With the Audio Hub running, connect the headset and transmitter to a free USB port on the computer via the headset’s included USB-C Charge Cable.
   • Please note that  the headset MUST be powered on  and  the headset and transmitter MUST be paired  for the Turtle Beach Audio Hub to recognize both headset and transmitter.
3. On the home page of the Audio Hub, you will see a slider labeled “ Mic Monitor Level “. Change the setting on that slider to adjust the volume of the Mic Monitor feature.

4. My headset’s lower dial is for Mic Monitoring, but why is it not lowering my outbound microphone volume level?

• The Microphone Monitoring feature allows you to hear your own voice in the headset when you speak, to help you avoid inadvertently shouting at other people/players. The headset itself is  not equipped with any sort of volume control for the outbound volume level of its microphone — therefore, the Mic Monitor volume control will adjust  only how loud you hear your own voice through the headset when you speak into the mic,  not how loud other people will hear your voice when you speak.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. My headset sounds are abnormal, it didn’t sound like this before. What could be going on here?

• Please double check to ensure you have not left the Superhuman Hearing option on. Superhuman Hearing (SHH) is a situational feature designed to prioritize certain sounds to give you the edge in intense gaming scenarios. This should not be left on all the time.
• Please quick-press the power button on the headset. If you hear a descending tone (high low), the Superhuman Hearing was on, but has now been disengaged. Do you hear a change in the audio?

If turning off the SHH feature does not clear up your inconvenience, please reach out to our  support team  for assistance with troubleshooting.

2. My headset keeps shutting off on its own when no audio is playing.

• To conserve battery life, your headset will power off after no audio is played through it for 10 consecutive minutes. This is a fixed feature and cannot be adjusted.
• This feature helps to save battery life – if you forget to power the headset off for the night after a long gaming session, you will only lose a few minutes of battery life, not a whole night’s worth.
• To easily avoid the Auto-Shutdown feature, you can keep some music playing in the background, like the game’s soundtrack. The headset will detect the audio and will not engage the Auto-Shutdown feature. Please note that mic input alone will not avoid the Auto-Shutdown feature.

If your headset keeps shutting off while audio is being played, please reach out to our  support team for further assistance.
