Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Series Headset Not Charging?
When you own a headset or similar device for long enough, eventually you will run into some issues with how it is functioning. One of the most common problems that you get with the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 series headset is that it no longer charges. There could be a few reasons as to why this happens and we will explore each of them here.
The most common reasons for Turtle beach stealth 600 headsets to be experiencing charging issues are your firmware is not up to date, it requires a hard reset, you may be using a faulty charging cable, or your power brick may not meet the voltage requirements.
Hard Reset & Update Firmware
One of the most common reasons for this issue is because your device is not up to date with the latest firmware.
This occurs when your Headset is unresponsive and displays a solid red light.
To fix this you’ll want to first hard reset your device by pressing & holding the Connect & Mode buttons for 20 seconds.
Your Headset should power off after resetting them. If your Headset’s LED light is still displaying a solid red color, you’ll want to repeat the process and ensure your holding both buttons for at least 20 seconds.
The next step is to update your device’s firmware; if your device isn’t updated with the latest firmware, the issue may occur again.
To check if your Headset is up to date, you’ll first want to download the Turtle Beach Audio Hub Updater Software, then simply plug in your USB cable to your turtle beach headset & PC. Once you connect your device to your PC and run the software, it will search for available firmware updates or notify you if your device is up to date.

Swap Out the Charging Cable
The first and easiest thing you can try on your own is to swap out the Micro-USB charging cable. The charging cable that comes with the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 series headset is of high quality, but that does not mean it will not wear out over time. The more you use the charging cable, the connection points will wear down. As usage ramps up, the charging cable could get to the point where it fails to do its job. Going to buy a new Micro-USB charging cable and swapping it could be an easy solution to your problem of it not holding a charge.
Inspect the Charge Port
If swapping out the charging cable is not doing anything, you should inspect the charge port of the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 series headset. Look inside the charge port to see if there is any buildup of dirt and debris. On top of that, try to look for any pins that may have been bent from inserting and removing the Micro-USB connection over time. There could be an opportunity to lightly blow into the charge port to clean out the dirt and that could correct your problem. If pins are bent, you could carefully use tweezers or a similar device to straighten them. If you are unsure or not confident in this, send it out to Turtle Beach for repairs!
Check the Power Brick
The power brick is the last piece of the puzzle when it comes to charging your Turtle Beach Stealth 600 series headset. If the power brick is worn out or does not have an adequate amount of voltage, it will not be able to deliver power to the Headset. Change the power brick to see if that helps!
There are a lot of options when it comes to trying to troubleshoot the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 series headset not holding a charge. The more you investigate, the more opportunities you will have to try and rectify the issue on your own. It could be the charging port, the charging cable, or even the power brick. Try some things on your own, swap out the brick or cord, and see if that does the trick.
