Turtle Beach Ear Force XO Four: Help with splicing Turtle Beach wire

Tue, 05 Dec 2023 15:35:36 -0700

My turtle beach is broken at the jack so I decided to try and splice it with the jack from a working pair of headphones, but I'm completely confused. The turtle beach seems to have 4 wires (red, green, copper, and a red/green twist that had a copper outer layer that I untwisted) and the one I wanted to splice it to seems to have 5 wires (blue, green, red/copper twist, green/copper twist, and solid red with a copper outer layer) so I don't know where to go from here. I took some pictures to show what I mean. Help is much appreciated.

I have a green wire, red wire, twisted green/red with gold copper and just a golden wire.

What do each of these wires do and which wire goes to which part on the new jack??

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

Turtle Beach Ear Force XO Four: Why isn't my mic working? (Xbox One)

Thu, 14 Sep 2017 04:12:30 -0700

I got my turtle beach earforce XO-Fours while I still had my wireless controller, and everything was great. Soon, however, my controller broke and the only new one I could buy was a wired afterglow with no audio jack, just the plug for the actual mic (no two prongs for adapter). All was well for a little while, until the mic would start making random really loud buzzing, it seemed like being in a certain position caused it. I was still able to talk through all of it, though, until today. My mic continued to make extremely annoying buzzing until it suddenly stopped and my mic could no longer pick up sound. Please help

Hey guys,

So today I was playing a game and my headset was working fine as normal and all the sudden like half my audio cut out. Not one ear, but like all the bass ends and real surround sound, it sounds like my headphones are halfway connected but its fully connected. It happened randomly and I can’t get it to go back to normal, what could this be?

Turtle Beach Ear Force XO Four: 3.5mm trrs wire coloring for headsets with mics

Tue, 26 Dec 2017 11:42:02 -0700

I am working on a solder project for my XO Four gaming headset I need to replace the entire wire and I don't know what colors inside the 3.5 mm trrs wire that I have to replace with go to wear for the headset. The colors inside the trrs wire are red pink brown black and ground. So my question is what color goes to the mic what color goes to the right ear piece what color goes to the left ear speaker piece and what color is the left speaker ground. If anybody knows their wire colorings that would be awesome otherwise any suggestions on how to figure this out for myself would be appreciated.
