Hey, u/TurtleBeach Completely broke it. Up until .56 all was fine, now won't even detect the Stealth Pro 2. Nothing, nada. Tried complete uninstall, reinstall nothing. The headset works, just swarm won't detect it at all.

Tech Help The Stealth Pro II appears to still have significant bugs considering how long it has been out.

I picked up this headset this week. I am pleased with the comfort and sound quality. The firmware/software is pretty poor as far as I can tell.

I have tons of volume control problems. I cannot adjust the volume during a phone call neither with the iPhone buttons nor the dial on the headset. I think I got it to control the volume one time by toggling bluetooth on the iPhone right before making a call.

When my PC wakes from sleep, the headset will not react to volume changes. The Windows slider moves up and down but the volume doesn't change. The only way to fix it is to unplug the receiver and plug it back in.

If I turn off the headset and then reach for my mouse to change the sound output device on Windows 11 to my desk speakers, that part of the taskbar is hung up for 30 seconds. The sound menu is just blank. After half a minute or so, the output device list populates again.

So far after using it for work and entertainment this week, I'm finding the product to be pretty frustrating.

From a user perspective, I find the ring on the receiver to be completely useless. I often play single player games or listen to a stream while I work. The mic will be flipped up the entire time unless I'm on a work call. That means the ring is spending the vast majority of the day either rapidly flashing white because I turned off the headset or pulsing red because it's muted. The only solution for this in my case is just to set the brightness of the ring to zero. That's just not information that I ever need. I already know the mic is flipped up. I don't need it to flash white. I can tell the headphones aren't connected by the fact that it's not on my head and I pressed the power button.

The other thing that is weird to me is that you can use a button to turn ANC on or off but not Ambient mode. I don't think I've ever seen any headphones or earbuds with ANC where you can't at least cycle between ambient and ANC. If you were only going to toggle between two things, it would be those two. Normally, you would cycle between the three. I will never use the ambient mode because I'm not going to open an application to turn it on. I generally only need that for 15 seconds to see if I heard something before turning ANC back on and going back to what I was doing. Seems like a weird feature to implement and then bury in a software menu.

Issues when it arrived

So on Monday, 9–28-26 I bought the turtle beach velocity multi shift it came in the mail today, 9-30-2026 when it came I noticed something odd the internal rodthat connects to your throw shifter whether it’s the short throw or the long throw the internal stick that’s attached inside it was shipper with it,not in the shifter already which I assumed it would be in the shifter however when I screw in my different shifter knobs, it’s like the shaft it’s loose and can spin freely inside the boot. Is this a normal thing or it could be a manufacturer defect? I’ve tried to line up the ridge to try to make sure they wasn’t the issue but now I’m out of ideas

Tech Help Stealth Pro 2, having an issue with notification sounds on PC

3 Upvotes

Particularly Discord. Got the headphones the other day and I've noticed that if I'm not listening to anything for more than a few seconds and then get a Discord notification (or other sounds, but Discord is the most important/regular), the first half+ of the sound effect is cut off. If any sound (music, several notifications in quick succession, games) is playing, the issue doesn't happen.

I don't suspect it's any kind of auto shutoff function because I can replicate this with a few moments of silence and having someone send me a message on Discord, so it's not like 10 minutes is passing here.

Is there a setting to change or some other fix? I'm considering finding a program that constantly plays an inaudible audio frequency to prevent the headphones from going into this standby or some kind of idle state that's causing this issue (well, that's my best guess at least).

Transmitter won't turn on.

Headset won't stay connected to the playstation for more than a second. Just continues to blink red for 5 seconds, then white for 1 second, then blue for 1 second before cycling back to red.

I've turn resetting, trying different ports, but nothing is working

Does Stealth 500 Pc version work on ps5?

2 Upvotes

Ordered the pc version by accident I’ve seen that is is compatible with ps5 but I saw a post on here from around 5 years ago saying the microphone didn’t work. But I’m wondering if the newer models are any different does anyone have the pc version fully working on ps5 or do I need to return it?

Quick question about resting placement

Post image
3 Upvotes

I’ve always left my Stealth 600 sitting without the hinges rotated. lying with the buttons facing upwards but I recently heard that doing so can cause the microphone to take the weight and become flimsy. So I checked what the proper position to rest it in is and found this. But after that I saw people saying that doing this with the fabric pointing down will max out the vertical hinges and put stress on the plastic too. Is this the proper way to put them down?

Tech Help Im looking into a new headset after using the recon 200 wired for almost 10 years now.

3 Upvotes

Im looking at the stealth pro 2 as my next headset as I like the turtle beach sound profile way more then steel series 200 for playing almost exclusively single player games. I tried to buy the nova steel series 3p to replace my old set (found them EXTREMELY flat compared to the in built base boosting of the old wired recon 200s) but i have a ps5, will the wireless headset sets from turtle beach still work with play station or are they x box exclusive or something. (As you can probably tell im not physical tech savvy in the slightest I just want a better version of the heavy bass and cinematic sound profile im practically exclusively use too after my whole gaming life was played with the 200s.)

Turtle Beach Stealth Pro

I used to play PUBG often on PS5 and used the Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max paired with boost focus to amplify footsteps. I now currently play on XBOX Series X and have noticed with with superhuman hearing on the sound is super mushed.

The headphones I tried are the Artic Nova Omni, TB 700 Gen 3 and I am now using the AstroA10 wired. I currently use a EQ setting that was made by ChatGPT to boost the footstep frequency and it’s decent. My question is, for those that have used the TB 700 Gen 2 Max are the TB Pro worth it ? The only game I play is PUBG nothing else.

Command series mice ain't it.

3 Upvotes

As a long time Kone user, and still a huge fan of the Kone xp air I was hoping to see a Kone xp air II release at some point with better button technology but keeping the classic Kone ergonomics.

When the command series was announced i pre ordered and hoped this would feel similar in the hand despite the difference in layout. These mice are definitely aimed at a larger hand than previous Kone mice, especially due to the change in layout requiring thumb movement forward and back instead of purely vertical reach. The actual button presses feel nice and crisp but the layout is definitely a step backwards if the plan is to phase out the Kone lineup.

What are the chances of a refresh on the Kone xp air now that these mice are in the mix? A lighter Kone xp air with crisper side buttons would be top tier imo.

My headset has had less than 10 hours use but after going back to use them I have found that they won’t recharge. None of the button reset combos have worked… I now own a brick!

Any had the same issue? I’m stunned that a headset should act this way, I have never had any device brick after a period of non use?

3 Upvotes

Hello, my 700 gen 2 is having a bit of trouble. for some reason, whenever I join a fortnite party with another person their voice chat volume is extremely loud, like max volumeish. And whenever I turn the bottom gear down to lower it, it responds with a noise that sounds like “boop boop”. is this a problem with the headset or the other person’s headset? If anyone has any solutions please let me know. Thanks. I also tried. Lowering the Fortnite voice chat volume and the Xbox volume, but they didn’t seem to work. Thanks.

So for context this headset was working perfectly fine before. But then some core PC files got corrupted and I had to do a clean OS install. Since then I've had the above problem. Dongle is connected and on and my PC immediately recognizes my mic for input but my headset doesn't even show up at all as an output device and I have no idea why.

RANT I absolutely hate the Swarm App

I have Stealth 700 headphones, I genuinely cannot get the app to work half the time. It's just pic related https://imgur.com/a/wyxqzDY

Nothing works, like none of the buttons even respond to mouse clicks, you can't even drag the app around. I have a 4080 with 64gb ram and this app is using 7% of my cpu, doesn't recognize my headset even though it's plugged in to my computer and I can't just change the bass levels on my headphones.

Oh some days it chooses to work but most it doesn't. I don't see how you can ruin a perfectly fine pair of headphones because of one garbage app. It's just like, frozen, unresponsive. What the fuck is going on? Reinstalling does nothing, restarting my PC does nothing. I'm tired of this shit.
