Turtle Beach Recon 50 Xbox Gaming Headset - Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, PlayStation, Mobile & PC with 3.5mm - Removable Mic, 40mm Speakers

Wasn’t expecting much given the price, but I’ve had this for over a year and a half and it works just as well as the day I bought it. Stellar mic, good build, and great sound quality, especially for the buying point. Definitely will buy it again when my current ones break (which doesn’t seem like anytime soon). Mild drawbacks are the mic threshold (mic will cut out if you get a bit loud) and volume control (audio will shift to one ear if dialed all the way up). Sometimes it’s hard to hear, but difficult to tell if that’s design error or just my hearing. Regardless, amazing product, definitely recommend.

For this price point, I can't say anything less than 5 stars for this headset. I was originally going to go with a different product until seeing that the Ear Force Recon 50(X) series, was to release on 9/25/15. I decided to give it a try, and figured why not. For $40 it seemed like a steal!For the most part, it is a steal.PROS:--The headset itself is good looking, at first I thought the green would be a little off-putting compared to the color of my other accessories and peripherals, but it actually looks really great. Of course, this part is subjective.--Very lightweight. This thing only weighs a few ounces, and other than the light sensation of the cups on your ears, you could not even know you have it on.--The mic is detachable, which is awesome.--Further, the mic sounds great. It picks up my voice with a pretty good clarity for an entry-level gaming headset, and the attached covering of the mic essentially works as a pop filter. In fact, I have a fan blowing right by me and it manages to cancel the vast majority of the wind rushing into it from the fan. Solid mic.--The sound is pretty good. Bass and highs are on par for this price point, with the mids being the weakest link of the sound stage. For music and movies it is probably not the best choice, although it would still work more than adequately for those uses. Gaming is where it really shines, and the sound quality is more than good enough for my gaming needs. Footsteps are defined, gunshots and explosions sound great, and voices and dialog sound just fine.--Adaptability and Connectivity: It connects to the Xbox One controller that has the 3.5mm plug-in, and works on any Xbox One controller with the Turtle Beach or Microsoft headset adapter. My controller has the plug directly on it, so it works flawlessly without the need of an adapter. Further, it includes an adapter to change the mic/headphones to two separate plugs and I tested it on my PC and it works great for both sound and mic as well. Even though it is marketed as an Xbox One headset, it works just fine on PC and my iPhone. I don't have a PS4 to try it on, but I would imagine it would work just fine.CONS:--Like mentioned above, the sound is pretty much on par. Nothing special and certainly doesn't blow your mind with audio fidelity. However for this price range I can't imagine it gets much better. Mids could be a bit better with frequency range.--The cord is rather short. Granted, this model is targeted specifically towards the Xbox One, so plugging it into the controller with the cord length is more than enough, and nice because you don't have a huge bundle of cord on your lap when it is plugged into your controller. However, for use with a PC or other device you might need to purchase a 4 pole 3.5mm extension cable to make it a bit longer. I managed to find several on Amazon for a few bucks, so if this is a problem for you I would recommend going the extension cable route instead of disregarding this headset.OVERALL:I rated 5, but would probably give closer to a 4.5. For $40 (current price at time of writing, the day this headset has been released), it is a great deal. I am very happy with it, and use it as my main headset for my Xbox now, and a backup for my PC. Very comfortable, lightweight, sound is more than adequate in terms of quality, and it works with a multitude of devices. For gaming, it is just an all-around great entry-level headset.

So, I purchased these Turtle Beach headphones since I was spending more time on my XBox and I like to mute the TV while I'm gaming. I am by no means an audiophile, but the sound output out of these were reasonably good. I have a big head and have had issues in the past with headsets not sitting comfortably, but these do sit well enough for a gaming session.The only real negative with this headset is that the detachable mic that it comes with? Just about ready to fall out if you even bump it with your hand, or even when picking up the headset while the mic is still attached. For some reason, it doesn't seem to sit firmly in the input.Overall, good value for the cost if you mainly want to wear a headset to avoid blasting the audio from game.

works great, sturdy, and cheap for its quality recommended for people that dont want to spend $50 on headsets. it has a fair sized cord length and is super easy to set up

Didn’t work and didn’t send it back in time

Work Great and can't beat the price. Would buy these again.

I wasn't expecting much for the price point. That said, I didn't get much either.These are terribly uncomfortable to wear. I've been told that the mic is choppy and tinny. The sound is thin and doesn't have clarity. The frequencies are muddy. I often wear around my neck and use my stereo monitor speakers while I use the mic.The upside is that the controls are nice. It's easy to turn up or down, and mute your mic.This is also an entry-level gaming headphone set. So again, don't expect much.Lastly, the cord is very short. I can't use these with my laptop on my desk and sit comfortably without pulling on the cord. I tried to use an extender, but the microphone is rendered useless. It will not work with a 1 ft extender.I don't think I would buy again or recommend to others.

I've bought these like 3 times now. mic is fine, audio is fine, i use it for gaming on xbox and I've had no issues in the 5 years I've used them for. they should last quite a while if you take care of them but I'm a dunce who keeps dropping my controller off the side of the bed with the headphones still connected. 😭🙏 that's the only reason I've gone through so many. take care not to yank on the cable too roughly!!!
