Turtle Beach Recon 50X

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.)

Works quite well though the audio can be a bit weird sometimes otherwise the mic is decent and works well for casual gaming.

I'm a HUGE fan of "low-end" turtle beach headsets, and I bought these to replace an aging pair of Ear Force PLa's that had served me faithfully for a long time (and still function very well, albeit thanks to a ton of tape work on damage I caused myself stupidly). Considering I paid only ten dollars more for these, the difference is staggering. As others note, they're not a top end headset, but for $40, do you really expect that? Sound is clear and crisp. Mic is clear and loud, without being overly sensitive (and the windscreen performs very well), and connects/disconnects easily... I'm actually using Dragon to type this with the mic in my laptops mic port! Some complain that the mic is inflexible, but I haven't found a position yet that it won't accept and stay with. I do, however, wish they had used the jacketing from the PLa line (ribbed, semi-metallic covering that allowed for total freedom of position) instead of the semi-hard, plastic-feeling overmold on this one. Leather-feel ear cups are VERY well designed and generously padded, they feel very natural on my head and surround my ear with an almost hermetic seal... pressing on the sides of the cups while wearing them yields a noticeable increase in pressure in my ears (you probably shouldn't do this). Entire system is very light (due in part to plastic construction, which doesn't come off feeling as "cheap" as other plastic headsets). At 4ft, the cord doesn't give a ton of room, but it was designed to be used with a console controller audio jack, so it doesn't need it... but for use with an mp3 player or laptop, it's great for those that don't need the extra length getting in the way. Some cons: In-line volume/mic control is small and hard to grasp (almost too smooth), and in turn, the volume control knob is very narrow and set deeply in the control box. When you do locate the volume blindly, it's somewhat difficult to roll, but I'm going to assume it will loosen in time. I would suggest moving it closer to the wire's splitter to make it easier to locate blindly, but it's a personal preference some may disagree with. The mic only inserts into the headset in one direction, having a cut out on the mic itself that must be aligned with a tab on the mic jack. It's difficult, though not impossible, to insert it while wearing the headset, so I suggest you choose in or out before you begin using them. I see no reason why this design had to be implemented, and hope future models will omit it. The connecting band has very little in the way of padding across the top of your head. It's not only a very small fill, but it's the same low density, very soft foam used in the ear cups, making it almost ineffective. It's not uncomfortable once you get the fit right for your head (though mine is shaved, your mileage may vary), but it still seems no thought at all went into this design point. Increasing the fill or using a higher density foam could fix this in future models. Each ear cup is connected to one half of the wire, which I personally don't enjoy the feel of, though its double connection design does prevent a lot of twisting that could lead to a single wire design pulling out of it's grommet. The wire(s) itself is very soft and flexible, which while offering comfort, I'm afraid would be easily abraded or pinched. All in all, you would be hard pressed to find another headset that offers more or performs better at or near this price point...it may even be an impossibility. Though PLa's are cheaper and more than adequate, for any looking for an entrance point into the headset market, these are without a doubt the only headset I will ever recommend again. If you need higher performance, just move up the price scale in the turtle beach line, each offering will blow you away.

This headset is absolutely golden and value for money. Headset design looks great for the price - honestly my step son nor I care for the design since it is about plug / play / communicating. Bought for my step son as his other xbox headset broke. Comfortable sizing adjustments, micr quality is fair, padding is thick and not cheap, very easy install (plug and play). Sound quality is clear. Not studio level, but clear for gamers. Volume is easy to adjust as well. We bought this product about a month ago and still holding on strong for a teenager.

These have perfect sound! I highly recommend these head phones.

Got the lightly used one for 26.... the mic stopped working day 2... after I took it off to store it soooo I was a idiot....my brother had it for 5 seconds and fixed it...

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.

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.

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.

For the price very good. And has good sound
