Turtle Beach Recon 50 Xbox Gaming Headset – Officially Licensed for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PCs with 3.5mm – Also works with PS5, PS4, and Mobile Devices, Removable Mic, 40mm Speakers

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.

Even though th ear padding got ripped off by my kids they still use these. Good quality sound. Comfortable and sturdy build. My kids friends can hear him clearly with the microphone. I'd recommend turtle beach to any gamer looking for a good quality headset for an affordable price!

These work great and they're not too tight on my fat head like every other headset is. Seriously, that's how I rate headsets now... does it give me a headache on my clownishly large round head? The sound quality is there; the mic is removable. Love the color, although I chose it. Works great with my Xbox, and connects to parties in Discord and PC. I don't even remember a setup; it was just plug and play. I could nit-pick and say that I get confused on the on/off switch, but I could just be an idiot. It's the classic light switch scenario; "Is the switch on when the word ON is showing, or when the word OFF is showing?", except it's an orange piece that is visible when you switch it. Is orange on or off? I never remember and in the dark, the tiny writing is illegible. It causes me to do constant sound checks if I'm having to cut my mic on/off constantly. (coughing, baby crying, etc.)

Actually good, the mic was a little weird at first and the jack to put the mic into the headset didnt want to work at first. I had to click it in a couple times to get it to work right. Now im running squads and having no problem at all. Although will defenitly switch up to a wireless eventually. Lightweight, Good cord lengts, Not too heavy, Cant hear as much on the outside as youd think.

Bought for my 11 year old son he has been through two or three different headsets and neither would work or would break. The sound quality my son says is great, the mic works really well, doesn't have an echoing noise in the background when playing online. Thank you Turtle Beach for these headphones it has been a game changer for my son and for me since I am the one spending the money. This time it was money thrown away it was worth every dollar. My son was not happy with the other ones but with this one hes beyond happy. Not to mention the price of this headset is super affordable turtle beach did their big one with these.

Great value headset — solid quality for the price I picked up the Turtle Beach Recon 50 Wired, and I’m really impressed for what you pay. The sound quality is clear, the bass is decent, and it’s comfortable enough for long gaming sessions. The build feels sturdy, and it works well with multiple systems. ➕ Pros: excellent price-to-quality, good sound, comfortable fit, sturdy build. ➖ Cons: none — very satisfied with this purchase. Overall, a reliable gaming headset that delivers great performance without breaking the bank.

These are really nice, they fit very comfortably and fit well around my ears, and the sound is fantastic!. I never used to wear Gaming Headphones but wear these all the time now on my Xbox, would definitely buy again if they ever broke, and having the detachable Mic is a good option.

First big thanks to Amazon prime for 1 day delivery 👍 Turtle Beach 50p headset is just amazing, I am using it with my PS4 pro and it works great . Good noise cancellation , very clear chat and sound quality is too good , u can hear enemy steps and make also make out direction of enemies fires by it's sound while playing. In this price range I think you will not get anything better than turtle Beach 50 headset and it's a very good brand product and much better than cheap Chinese headset.

Perfect headset for the price. I was looking around for a cheap headset but wanted to buy from a brand that is reputable. This is honestly a great headset for $50. Bass is good, mic is clear, and they are SUPER comfortable. You can wear them for hours on end while gaming. They fit around my ears perfectly (and hey good pretty good). 100% recommend. I don’t know that the other people are talking about, this is a deeeeeecent headset for $50.

Ich habe dieses Headset schon 2-Mal gekauft. Für mich eines der einfachsten, kostengünstigen und besten Headsets für die Xbox One und Series S/X , wenn die Preisleistung-Verhältnis betrachtet. Ich benutze das Headset für die Xbox One und die Series S Controller und ist kinderleicht anzuschließen. Die Lautstärke wird direkt über ein kleines Rädchen (ca. mittig am Kabel) steuern und dort ist einen Schieberegler für das Mikrofon zu Stumm machen oder wieder freigeben. Das Mikrophon ist abnehmbar. Die Kabellänge ist ausreichend, ca. 1,5m. Als Warehouse-Deals bei Amazon für ca. 10€ und ca. 15€ gekauft, würde ich jedes Mal wieder machen.

O fone é ótimo pra home office, que é pra que eu uso. Tem um som alto, abafa bem o som ambiente e o microfone é maravilhoso.
