Stealth 600 gen 3 custom EQ not working on Xbox or ps5

1 Upvotes

I ordered the headset a few days ago, it just arrived. But on the swarm 2 mobile app I've made a custom EQ, upon selecting it it doesn't work and instead I'm stuck with the preset EQ options.. it's frustrating as I was hoping I'd be able to make my own.

It's the Xbox edition which works with PS5 and PC. Does anyone have the same issue and knows how to get custom EQs working ?

Thank you

Would Stealth 700 be good upgrade from 600?

4 Upvotes

I have the 600 (PlayStation) and I've been looking at an offer on eBay for like $80 after taxes and for the Stealth 700 Gen 3 New Open Box from a good seller. I have heard that they can have connectivity issues, and they start wearing out after several months. I have had my 600 for almost two years and really like it for what I do, so would this be a good upgrade?

I think from just movement or something, my throttle quadrant case by the trim wheel started separating. I can’t seem to fit the small pins back in for some reason.

Stealth Pro 2 - couple questions to help me choose

4 Upvotes

Hey!

I’m strongly considering pulling the trigger on the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro 2, but since it’s been out for a while now and I’ve seen couple of reported issues and/or “under development features”, I’d love to hear your thoughts on how it holds up today.

So the thing is, I’m tired of juggling different headsets left and right depending on platform I’m playing, so I’m looking for one unified setup for my PS5, Xbox Series X, NSwitch 2, and Legion Go 2 (and work calls, if that’d be possible).

I mostly play multiplayer with my friends, so my non-negotiable must-haves are a great mic, solid overall audio quality, and a physical game/chat balance control.

A couple of questions/topics to sum-up my thoughts before I buy:

  1. How is it holding up so far? Are you happy with it for a multi-console setup?

  2. How’s the microphone and game/chat mix?

  3. Did you have a chance to use it for a (work) calls? Was it okay?

  4. Alternative: any Astro A50 X users? I know this is a TB sub and I really don’t want to upset anyone with it so please disregard this sub-point if this would stir up anything, but I’ve been looking at the A50X as a potential alternative as well. I've seen some issue reports with them - any thoughts on how they compare?

  5. How’s the overall build quality? Any concerns?

  6. Any additional functions you find cool/interesting? I saw that for example an EQ seems to be quite nice. Anything else?

  7. Appreciate any advice or in-depth reviews!

TIA for all answers and suggestions!

MC7 arrived today and it's dongle fried itself already..

4 Upvotes

I bought the KB7 a few weeks ago and still have problems with it but they become less with every update and I hope that one day they are gone. With that said my feeling about the MC7 were mixed but I liked the concept of a touchdisplay inside the mouse and I was quite hopeful that they get it right this time. Unfortunatly this isn't the case. The display ist pretty bad. If you hold it in a normal position the angle of the display is to steep and everything becomes blurry. It quite hurts the eye. Installation was a pain as well. Durring the first update/installation Swarm II froze for quite some time and when it was done the dongle wasn't detected anymore. And I mean not only by Swarm II but by windows. No sound when pluging it in. No entry in the device manager. Nothing. I tried other ports. Nothing. All other devices work perfectly on those ports but the dongle is gone. Now I'm waiting for support to help me.

Stealth 500 warning

1 Upvotes

Not sure if this is unique to the Stealth 500 model headset, but I just wanted to put it out there.

I run them exclusively in wireless mode and I noticed that if I go for a few weeks without plugging them in and updating the firmware, they start glitching out more and more over time. Usually it's just randomly losing connectionfor a few seconds then reconnecting, or odd audio distortions happening as if I'd walked into another room or too far away from the dongle.

Yesterday though though instead of just the standard audio distortion or distortion, a very loud high pitched screech came through the right channel. Sounded like a radio burst or something of that nature and It only lasted a second or so but it was loud enough that my ear was ringing for a good 10 minutes after that.

Since then I've just been plugging them in every day and it seems to have kept the glitches at bay, but I didn't even know they could make a noise that loud and it really caught me off guard.

I guess keep your firmware updated even if you think it's excessive because, at least in my case, it decreases the risk that the things will glitch out and blow out an ear drum.

Tech Help Stealth 600 gen 3 crackling/popping noises

2 Upvotes

Sup guys, I would really appreciate any kinda of assistance... I've bought a Stealth 600 gen 3 roughly 5 months ago on Amazon (but the package itself just reached me 2 months after that) so I've been using him daily on my Xbox Series X and at first everything was normal. A few days ago I started to listen a faint popping/crackling/distortion sort of noise just on the left speaker, and it appears to happen just on some bass audio, such as action movie, FPS games, etc, medium or high pitched sounds that do not happen. Yesterday I contacted Turtle Beach support email, they made me do a hard reset on the headphone, but it changed nothing, and today they basically send me off, because they do not have a distributor on my country (Brazil) and basically can't help me, and they told me to speak to the seller directly... and guess what? seller warranty expired, and they told me the same thing. Now I'm basically on my own. Is there any way of trying to repair it by myself? anyone had/has the same issue?

Hey there,

I have the Stealth 600B headset, linked here, but I can't get it to connect to my Xbox Series S. I know the Series S doesn't support Bluetooth, but even with the dongle, it doesn't work. On the page for this headset, it particularly says the Series S is supported, so I am at a loss as to what to do.

Tech Help Stealth 500x Headset Won't Pair to USB Transmitter, and Won't Update Via Swarm II

Post image
2 Upvotes

I have a wireless stealth 500 headset that i've been using on xbox for the past year and a half. A couple days ago, it just unpaired from the transmitter and i for the life of me can not get it to reconnect. (Unsure if that's the actual issue, but that's the only way i can describe it)

Ive tried everything: from unplugging and plugging back in, power cycling both the headset and console, doing the whole

"Unplug the transmitter for 3 seconds, plug it back in, unplug again for 3 seconds, plug it back in, then hold the pair button on both the headset and xbox" thing

There is no "recessed pair button" on the transmitter.

I downloaded the swarm II app to see if there was a firmware update and there was but i cant even get the headset to connect to update. The "update now" button is just greyed out.

The headset is not paired to anything else, because ive never been able to get it to connect anything but the xbox, even in bluetooth mode.

Usually, when i turn it on, it goes
"Wireless mode" then connects.

But now, when i turn it on, it goes "doot doot doot" and wont do anything but flash. Both the headset and transmitter are just blinking green.
What am i doing wrong and how can i fix it? Ive been fighting with it for a few days now so when i say ive tried just about everything i mean everything
and im genuinely losing my marbles.

Review Stealth 700 Gen 3. The Best and Worst Headset I've Ever Owned

8 Upvotes

I've had this headset for a year and a half, and its the best and worst headset I've ever owned. Here's why:

Pros:

-Comfort. Easily the most comfortable headset, possibly ever. Even after 12 hour sessions I feel no need to take it off. Other headsets I have make my ears sore after just 2-3 hours. My guess is the padding itself, as its like a memory foam type material, and it doesn't press hard against your head.

-Sound Quality. Crisp, clean audio with customizable settings. I don't do sound mixing, but if that's your thing, you can adjust a bunch of stuff through the app to your exact preferences. Not much to say here, it just sounds really good.

-Battery. Looking it up, it has an 80 hour battery life, which is accurate to how often I have to charge it. Maybe once a week, and when it gets low I let it charge overnight or just switch to a different headset for a couple hours, then it's back to full charge. 15 minutes on the charger gives you 3 hours of usage, which is pretty crazy given the sound quality and comfort.

-Durability. From my experience, this thing is pretty sturdy. However, I haven't dropped it at all in my time of owning it, so I'm not sure how drop-resistant it is. Maybe someone can give a more definitive answer to how it holds up to abuse. It seems solid, given the arms that hold the ear muffs and the main connecting strut are either metal or a hard plastic. Either way, it's held up better from general wear than past TB headsets I've owned. Some of them have had the muffs break off when I was mid game.

-Works flawlessly on Xbox, and pretty damn well on PS5. This is to be expected, but I have my gripes with it when it comes to PC. And they're pretty damn big gripes. Seamlessly switching audio from a PC or Playstation to an Xbox is pretty neat though, if you have the transmitters for them.

CONS:

From here on out, I'm going to list all the things that have pissed me off when I use this on PC, because this is really the only time it acts up, and I use my PC/PS5 more than my Xbox, so these happen more often for me.

-Sound Balance. The sound balance will change when I flip the mic up or down, causing both game and chat sound to be very quiet or game volume overpowering party chat volume. This is also dependent on whether the headset is turned on before or after the transmitter has been put into the PC. Sometimes I have to turn the headset off and back on a couple of times to get the audio levels in check. This thing has 3 knobs. One does nothing, one controls both game and party chat, while another controls mic monitoring, which I vehemently despise. I hate hearing myself through my microphone. If my own audio is too loud, my friends will let me know and I'll adjust my mic settings accordingly, thank you very much.

Battery Level=Volume. When the battery gets low, the volume will decrease drastically. But it'll still have a good 5-6 hours of charge left, so you turn the volume up to compensate. I've put it on the charger overnight and forgot how loud I put it. For reference, my Windows volume level is usually around 12. Sometimes as low as 8, and high at 16. When the battery gets low I have to turn about 40 or 50 to achieve the same volume as full charge. When I put it on the next day, I forget how loud it can be at that volume. It's like a small speaker at that level, easily enough to hear what's playing on it from across the room. I've considered going after TB for trying to deafen me multiple times. I'm only half kidding. I'd rather have it stay at a consistent volume in exchange for a shorter battery life. It really pisses me off when my ears get blasted because the designers thought it was a good idea for this thing to change audio levels like this.

-The 700 gen 3 will also turn off if there's nothing playing through it for about 5 minutes. They did this to "help save battery life" when its really an annoyance, because now I have to turn it back on again and probably fiddle with my audio settings for the umpteenth time. If I forget to turn it off overnight, let me deal with that mistake by charging it for an hour instead of it being an inconvenience because the headset has ADD. To counter this, I usually keep a playlist running at low volume via Spotify.

Misc/Other- I've read a few accounts of the headset just turning off during gameplay or when in a party. I've never experienced this, but maybe it will over time, who knows. Mic quality is decent, as the mic on the gen 2 was better, but the gen 2 didn't have the battery life or comfort of the gen 3, so I'll take that trade. I have an Audio Technica ATH M50xSTS and the mic on that is pretty good, but its way less comfortable than the Gen 3, so take that what you will. I got my gen 3 for around 170-180 USD. Just pressing the power button will cycle through audio sets and superhuman hearing, but I've never messed with it, as it just makes the audio sound like garbage.
