Xbox Headsets

1. Turn on both devices – power on your Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One and your Turtle Beach Xbox headset.
2. Check for a dongle – if included, plug it into a USB port on the console and wait for pairing.
3. Manually pair – press and hold the pairing button on the Xbox (usually on the front, depending on the model), then press and hold the Connect button on the headset until both LEDs flash rapidly.
4. Wait for connection – once paired, the lights on both should turn solid, and you’ll hear a confirmation tone or voice prompt.
5. Check headset status – Go to Settings → All settings→Kinect & Devices→ Devices & Connections → Accessories and set the headset as the input/output device.
6. Still not pairing? – Unplug the console for a minute, reboot everything, and retry the steps above. If pairing still fails, contact Turtle Beach support.

No, not all gaming headsets for Xbox work across Xbox One, Series S, and Series X, especially older wired models.

• USB and wireless models must support the Xbox Wireless protocol to connect directly without a dongle.
• The safest bet is to check for “Designed for Xbox” labelling when buying.
• Compatibility is essential; some Xbox headsets will only work with newer generation firmware or accessories.

• A good Xbox gaming headset should have clear surround sound, a noise-cancelling mic, and comfortable ear cushions.
• Wireless options offer cable-free setups, but check for low latency and long battery life.
• Wired headsets can be simpler and lag-free if connected via a 3.5mm jack.
• Custom EQ tuning, game/chat mix dials, and mic monitoring are valuable features for serious players.

Turtle Beach Xbox headsets, like the Stealth 700 Gen 3, support Xbox Wireless for direct pairing.

• The flip-to-mute mic, Superhuman Hearing® mode, and 60mm Eclipse dual drivers offer competitive advantages in shooters and RPGs.
• With long-lasting battery life (up to 80 hours on some models) and memory foam cushions, they’re built for all-day gaming.
• Always check Turtle Beach’s Xbox headset page to confirm platform compatibility.

The Stealth 700 Gen 3 is ideal for players looking for premium audio and wireless flexibility.

• It connects directly to Xbox consoles via Xbox Wireless, offers Bluetooth for mobile audio, and features AI-based noise reduction.
• The 80-hour battery life and durable headband design make it a go-to for competitive sessions.
• For a more budget-friendly pick, the Stealth 600 Gen 3 still delivers excellent sound and a great fit for most Xbox headsets' needs.
