Turtle Beach Recon 70 Multiplatform Gaming Headset for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, PC & Mobile w/ 3.5mm Wired Connection - Flip-to-Mute Mic, 40mm Speakers, Lightweight Design, Black

**Update 3 years in**I wrote this review in 2022, after I had these for about 16 months and as I'm here BUYING ANOTHER SET in 2024, I thought I owed the company an update since they treated me so well, (my original review is unchanged below).UPDATE May 2024: I've had this pair since Feb 2021 and use them almost daily for hours at a time. Last night, they decided to retire and stopped working. This is no fault to the headphones, as I have logged over 3 years of use on a ps5 for both gaming and media. So I have just placed an order for a new set. I have had zero issues over the last 3 years, (they even recovered from the Destructo attack of my son almost 2 years), and could recommend them more.I am also increasing my rating to 5 stars because of how well they have treated me. I am pleased to see they are still available and haven't been discontinued. This is a no doubt must buy over any other model or brand.--(Below is original review)I bought these in Feb 2021 initially as a headset mainly for steam but also to backup my PS4/5 Sony Golds (they aren't Pulse 3D), but I quickly moved to only using these for PS5.APPEARANCE: the camo is very slick and I cabinet them when I'm not playing so no clash with the PS5 blancoFIT: I've got kind of a big head I guess, wear hats 7 1/4 and usually have glasses on when playing and the fit is pretty good. They fit snug with good compression over you ears that cancels noise a bit better than the PS4/5 gold. The cord plugs into the controller of course so I wouldn't want it any longer for sure.SOUND: you won't think you have Cowin or Beats on because the range doesn't compare but you won't notice. I play almost daily and I am not disappointed whatsoever. I also use them to watch movies/shows including Narcos, Loki, Mandolorian, Marvel, etc and the quality is not lost.VOICE SOUND: I've asked and have been told I sound clear and chat comes in clear.CONTROLS: what's nice about this over the PS Gold is that the mic arm folds back flush with the head phones which mutes the mic. In some games, the PS5 controller mute button will mute all audio instead of just the mic. There's only one volume control, so no independent chat control. Also, unlike the PS Gold headset, when this headset is plugged in, it doesn't auto-mute your sound system, so you'll have to manually turn it down to stop concurrent audio.DURABILITY: the photo attached was taken June 2022, 16 months after purchase with semi-daily use. I play and/or watch 5-7 nights a week for 2-4 hours a night, give or take and that's how they held up. My prior PS4 Gold headset before my current one looked like chop suey in the same amount of time. My Cowin headset (for Bluetooth audio on non-gaming devices), gets daily use as well and is barely holding on and I think Cowin is the best out there. I do think these are very durable EVEN THOUGH the audio jack has the fated audio fade with positioning. They still work and I don't know whether to fault the headphones wear and tear OR my son's Mr Incredible reenactment with them a week ago, (the problem started same night so probably me son).PRICE: a steal, plain and simple. Look at the above to confirm. I wouldn't buy any other headset if you're not going all out for a $100+ set.OVERALL: I'm writing this review as I am perusing Amazon for a new headset to replace these due to the issue above, even though my PS Gold are in "perfect" working order, which says a lot. The quality of this set has me deeply pondering getting this over the Pulse 3D not only for the price but also the performance compared to the PS Gold sets I've owned.

My son uses these all the time for gaming. He got this as a birthday gift to replace an old headset and he really enjoys them. They fit comfortably on his head and are adjustable. They're great quality, and no issues with sound and the mic works nicely. All in all, we would purchase again!

If you're looking at this its because you're on a budget. let me assure you these headphones are excellent for the price. I was fully impressed in the quality of sound (note the bass aint impressive but thats really not what you should expect this to do) and the comfort of the cups. Easy to access Volume Control and the mic picks up sound almost too clearly.Only points you NEED TO CONSIDER before you buy this.1. The Size of your ear and head.- Now these fit me perfectly with an average head and relatively big ears. You need to understand that the padding on these headphones are not deep, so if you have the ears of Will Smith, they might be cramped in there. If your ears are pointing outward they might hit the speakers inside. So I'd say this will fit 9/10 people but know your ears.2. Cable Length:No way around it this Cable is not long. If you need to plug this into an input that's say, near your feet or in the pack of a pc, this will be a stretch and you may need an extended adapter to make it work.3. Mic Response.This mic works GREAT but as a mic the issue is that background noise will com through on the mic. So make sure you use these in a relatively quiet place or have a Mute button handy.

to start, the headset feels very very cheap, BUT it sounds good and thats the important partits a simple headset. plug it in and game, watch movies, listen to musicPros: its not heavy headset / audio sounds crystal clear when gaming / listening to musicCons: the plastic feels very cheap but i think thats the reason why its not heavy / ill give the bass a 4/10 BUT the bass that it does has is perfect for gaming. sound cancellation is a 4/10 since the ear muffs are not huge or deep.the headset has a small piece of head cushion but its not uncomfortable since its not heavy

A big upgrade over a headset slightly cheaper that sounds and works great. Much lighter and more comfortable than other head sets I have used similarly priced. I had an issue so I contacted support and I had a replacement set in mailbox less than a week after contact. And most importantly, while playing my favorite FPS video game, the sound is much better than comparably priced headsets.

I bought these for my fiancée, and she absolutely loves them! We have had the headphones for a couple weeks now, and the sound quality is phenomenal. If you're looking for an inexpensive headset with a good mic these are awesome.

Started having issues with the sound and hearing static after about 3 months of using these. They were good while they lasted, but not impressed with the quality.
