  1. Why wont my new mic (Turtle Beach Stealth 700 wireless headset) work with Fortnite?


    Hi, I recently purchased a Turtle Beach Stealth 700 wireless headset for my Xbox Series X. While the mic works perfectly in Xbox party chat, it does not work in Fortnite’s in-game voice chat. I can hear my friends in Fortnite, but they can’t hear me.

    So far, I have:

    • Confirmed my Xbox privacy and communication settings are correct
    • Verified all Fortnite voice chat settings (Voice Chat: On, Open Mic, correct channel, etc.)
    • Ensured my NAT type is Open
    • Tried restarting the console and the game multiple times
    • Confirmed that the headset mic works in other applications
    Despite all this, the mic still doesn't transmit in Fortnite specifically. I would appreciate any guidance or a possible solution you can provide.

    Thanks in advance!

    :)

    Wireless vs. Wired?

    the sound quality of wired headsets are generally better but the higher end more expensive wireless headsets are pretty good these days, i have a pair of turtle beach stealth 700 and i love them great wireless headset but upgraded to the turtle beach elite
    pro 2 and damn is there a difference

    Hi, Tanner! It is my pleasure to assist you with this today.

    Kindly try to do these steps and check if it will fix the issue.

    Press and hold the Power button on the front of your Xbox until the console turns off.

    Unplug everything from the back of your Xbox.

    Wait 3 minutes, and then plug the power cord and HDMI back in.

    Then, please check if that fixes the issue.

    If that still doesn't fix the issue, try to reset the console this way.

    IMPORTANT: Make sure to remember the email and password for the account before taking these steps.

    Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

    Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Console info > Reset console.

    Select "Reset and keep my games & apps

    If still getting the same issue, please uninstall and reinstall the game.

    Please let me know whether that resolves the issue. Thank you!

    First setup

    Hello! Lots of replies on the monitor front, so I thought I throw in a headset that I like personally. I use the

    Turtle Beach Stealth 700s
    and LOVE them. They're completely wireless + bluetooth so you can use them with xbox, pc, or your phone. They have independent volume settings for game / party chats and are super easy to use. They also sell refurbished

    Stealth 700s
    for a cheaper price if that's something you'd be interested in to save some money.

    Xbox Wireless Headset mic monitoring

    The team did a great job with the headset. They are the best sounding pair of headphones I've ever purchased. However, like many of you, mic monitoring is a feature that we need. If you have not tried Turtle Beach, I would highly recommend them. They've been making wireless gaming headsets for many years, their mic monitoring is second to none and they have great sound. I've Checked out some reviews for the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 and believe this will be the best headset for me. I'll probably stick with TB from now on.
