Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX For Xbox - Pairing
The pairing process for the Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX is similar no matter which Mode the
transmitter is set to, but for the best audio experience, it is important to make sure that the
transmitter is set to the correct Mode for your specific platform.
To pair your headset to the transmitter:
1. Put the transmitter into the correct Mode.
If you are using the headset with an Xbox console –either Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One —
move the transmitter’s switch to Xbox.
If you are using the headset with a different USB device –a PS5 or PS4 console, a Windows or
Mac PC, or a Nintendo Switch (in docked mode) –move that switch to USB.
2. Connect the transmitter to the USB port on your platform.
3. Power the headset on by pressing and holding the headset’s Power button.

4. Wait for headset and transmitter to pair. The LEDs on both headset and transmitter will turn
solid when the headset and transmitter pair successfully.
RE-PAIRING
You may -- very sparingly -- need to re-pair the headset. This would most likely happen
following a firmware update. Please note that you will need a paperclip or something similar for
this process.
To re-pair the headset and transmitter:
1. Start with the headset powered OFF. Make sure the transmitter is in the Xbox mode.
2. Press and hold the power button on the headset until the LED starts flashing rapidly.
3. Insert the transmitter into the console.
4. After a few moments, the headset and transmitter LEDs will become solid, indicating a
successful pairing.
Again, this process would need to be performed sparingly, most likely after a firmware update is
performed. Generally the headset and transmitter should be able to pair to each other on their
own.

Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX For Xbox - USB
Setup (For PC, PS, Nintendo Switch In
Docked Mode)
The Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX For Xbox headset can be used with either an Xbox console, or with
a different USB device, including PlayStation consoles, a Windows PC, or a Nintendo Switch
(while the Switch itself is in docked mode).
To set your headset up for use with one of these USB platforms (not with an Xbox console),
please do the following.
1. Put the transmitter into USB Mode.
2. Connect the transmitter to the USB port on your platform.

3. Power the headset on by pressing and holding the headset's Power button.
4. Wait for the headset and transmitter to pair.
Once the headset and transmitter are paired, you may need to configure the settings for your
specific platform, as detailed below.
PC
Some games and programs have their own audio settings, independent of the computer’s
settings. Please be sure to double-check the audio settings for the game/program you are using
the headset with, to ensure that the audio settings for both the computer and the game are set
properly.

To set the headset as the default device, right-click the speaker icon in the Taskbar (at the
bottom-right of the screen), and then click "Open Sound Settings". You'll then be able to set the
Input and Output device to the headset, if needed.
The settings for the game itself would be found in within the game's menus. Make sure the
headset is the default input and output device, that voice chat is enabled, and that any Push-To-
Talk feature is disabled.

game.
With the headset set as the default device in the console settings, please go into the audio settings
for the games/programs you will be using the headset with. Make sure the headset is set as the

•Select Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX for Output Device

With the headset set as the default device in the console settings, please go into the audio settings

NINTENDO SWITCH
For the Nintendo Switch, you'll need to set the headset as the default device only in the game
itself. You'll also want to make sure that the game you are using the headset with supports chat
capabilities. Again, you'll also want to confirm that voice chat is enabled within the audio
settings of the game, and that any Push-To-Talk features are disabled.
Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX For Xbox - Turtle
Beach Audio Hub
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.**
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 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.

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
