Excellent Value – For Entry-Level Gaming Headset
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.

WORTH IT!!
I recently bought 2 of these headsets for my son and I, and I have to say, they exceeded my expectations. The sound quality is phenomenal, with deep bass and clear highs that make every game feel immersive.The headset is also incredibly comfortable, even during long gaming sessions. The ear cushions are soft and breathable, and the adjustable headband ensures a perfect fit. The built-in microphone is crystal clear, making communication with teammates seamless.Another great feature is the durable build quality. It feels sturdy and well-made, so I’m confident it will last for a long time. Plus, the sleek design gives it a stylish edge.Overall, this headset is a fantastic investment for any gamer looking for top-notch audio quality, comfort, and durability. Highly recommended!

Pretty nice!!
I like these headphones very affordable for my budget mic is pretty good but can be loud for others sometimes (I do this to mess with my friends lol) I don’t know if it’s my controller that’s doing this but sometimes my microphone just doesn’t register sometimes or just stops working (mainly think this is from my controller) but wanted to add it just in case if it isn’t over amazing headphones

Great Value for the Price – My Son Loves Them!
I purchased these Turtle Beach Recon 50 Wired Gaming Headset for my son, and he’s been very happy with them. The sound quality is good, and he appreciates the detachable mic for when he doesn’t need it. The noise-canceling feature helps him focus on the game without distractions.The headset is compatible with multiple platforms, which is a big plus. The build quality seems decent, and they’re comfortable to wear for extended gaming sessions. Overall, I’m very pleased with this purchase and would recommend them to other parents looking for a good quality gaming headset for their kids.

Phenomenal bang for your buck!
I primarily used this headset for gaming online with friends. The detachable mic is great for when you want to eat without worrying about getting food on the mic or if you want to lay down to watch a movie. They’re incredibly durable and comfortable. I sleep with them on, since I have a cat who thinks he’s a rooster and will wake me up too early. These headphones lasted me over a year. I came back to order more, because I wanted a clean, new pair. I’ll keep coming back every couple years to get a fresh set as long as they’re being offered, especially at this price! Amazing entry level headphones for gaming and more.

Terrible sound input and output
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.

Awesome entry headset
This headset is super easy to use, simple plug and play. Doesn’t have a battery, just a plug in aux. The cord length is great for controller use, maybe a little short for pc use but its still great. Weight is perfect, it doesnt feel heavy at all and it fits my larger head perfectly with some adjustments. The sound quality is awesome too! My only gripe is that the microphone is kinda flimsy and having it for 1 month already has made it loose and it falls down while I game. I wish it was sturdier.
