Hello Cheezycord,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

We understand you are having issues with an echo issue with your Xbox Stereo Headset. Let's work on this together and sort this out in timely manner for you to get back to gaming.

This issue can be caused by a few different things, but there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the issue:



1. Make sure that the headset is properly plugged into the controller. Ensure that the 3.5mm jack is fully inserted into the controller's audio port.



2. Check the audio settings on your Xbox. Go to Settings > Display & Sound > Volume > Party Chat Output and select "Headset."



3. Check Your Microphone Sensitivity:

• High microphone sensitivity can sometimes cause an echo effect. Try adjusting the microphone volume to a moderate level:
  
  • Press the Xbox button on your controller.
    
  • Navigate to System.
    
  • Select Audio.
    
  • Adjust the headset volume to a comfortable level.
    

4. Update your controller firmware. This can improve the performance and compatibility of your headset and controller. Press the Xbox button  to open the guide, select Profile & system > Settings > Devices & connections > Accessories, and then select the controller you want to update.

5. Test with a Different Controller:

• If possible, borrow or acquire a regular controller to test if the issue persists. This will help determine if it’s specific to the Xbox Stereo Headset or a broader issue.
  

If the problem continues, you may need to create a service order for your headset to fix the issue. You may check this link for your reference: Troubleshoot your Xbox Wireless Headset | Xbox Support

We hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and please let me know how it goes.

Same with Me. Turtle Beach X32 headset with the stereo adapter for the XBONE controller.. My game audio doubles up and echoes a bit, and my party members hear themselves echo back. It's Frustrating seeing as how I paid $90 for this headset with my XB360,
and $350 for a console and now they won't talk.

There are two possible reasons for the echo in the headset.

1. The volume must be adjusted via the adapter

2. The headset is dying or there is a problem with the wires.
