Hi guys,

I just had the pleasure of taking apart a broken 600X Gen 2 as well as a broken 600P Gen 2 in attempt to make one working headset between the two. I was shocked to find that nearly every single part differs between these two headsets despite them looking nearly identical and being marketed with similar specs.

They’re so different that I think Turtle Beach had 2 separate teams working on them and those teams did not communicate with each other at all. It’s as if each team was given a basic CAD design to start with, and then both teams filled in missing design details and chose components on their own without sharing anything with the other.

For starters, the drivers are different between the two models, and their enclosures are ported differently as well. The mics booms are different, with one being hollow and the other not so much. One boom has fake mic holes and the other does not. The way that the mics attach within the earcup differs. The headset bands have different connectors attaching them to the earcups, and even the earcup moldings are different in ways that make no sense not to be the same.

I wonder how much they could have saved in money, time and manpower, if they had not designed the same product twice differently in parallel.

I have also just taken apart the 700X Gen 2 and 700P Gen 2. While I didn’t have reason to compare so closely, I believe those models do share the same parts with each other aside from the mainboard and the extra cutout/button for pairing to Xbox on the 700X.

Anyway, all of this is to say that your review of the 600P Gen 2 probably doesn’t accurately represent the 600X Gen 2, which is much a different headset for some reason. When comparing the physical differences, it appears that the 600X has the better design and in some cases better components. Since mine are all broken, I was unable to actually compare sound quality and mic quality.
