Turtle Beach Ear Force Stealth 500P: Volume knob stuck at highest setting

Mon, 25 Dec 2023 12:23:47 -0700

My stepdad bought me the Turtle Beach Ear Force Stealth 500P headset two years ago and recently the volume control stopped working. Currently it's stuck at the highest setting. So, when I play some games that does not have their own volume control it's super loud to the point where I can't play it with my headset without causing my ears to explode. Anyone else have this issue and possibly a fix? Thank you!

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.

Turtle Beach Ear Force Stealth 500P: Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Headphones

Thu, 30 Mar 2023 18:01:26 -0700

I have two pairs of Turtle Beach Stealth 700 headphones. The left ear cup where it pivots on the headband is has become broke. The first pair lasted a little over a hear and a half. The second pair lasted a matter of about 4 months before it broke. I've been extra careful with the second set to help keep them from breaking but this didn't help. Can these be repaired? Or is this a warranty issue?

Turtle Beach Ear Force Stealth 500P: Why is my head set cutting out and making a loud feedback on the mic?

Sun, 18 Dec 2022 23:36:54 -0700

Hello, I have a Turtle Beach Ear Force Recon 70p for my ps5 and I have had it for about 3 weeks. However, The microphone cuts out and my friends periodically hear a loud noise - sounds like a hurricane or tornado. The mic doesn't work unless the jack is set in a particular position and the microphone makes loud noises, which is not background noise because I have tried lowering the mic volume a bit and it still happens.

Is this fixable or do I have to take it apart? Please help! thanks
