  • Reliable, Comfortable Headset That’s Lasted for Years. Rock-Solid Headset — 10/10
Color: Black / Red
I purchased this headset back in 2019, and I’m writing this review after 6 years and hundreds of hours of gameplay. Over that entire time, this headset has been extremely reliable, comfortable, and consistently performed well. I still use it today for gaming and occasional streaming today, which says a lot about its durability. The sound and audio quality is very solid, especially considering the price point. If you’re looking for a plug-in headset that’s affordable, dependable, and built to last, this is an excellent choice. I highly recommend it. 10/10 — would absolutely buy again. ... show more

  • Good pair
Color: Black / Red
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!

  • Good Headset
Color: Black / Red
After my last headset died I was shopping around for a good alternative that wouldn't break the bank. I'm a gamer so I wanted a headset that I could wear comfortably for long periods of time and that had a decent mic for voice chat during co-op play. I first found and tried out Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset only to find it an exercise in frustration trying to get it to work. After returning that headset to Amazon I decided to give the Turtle Beach Ear Force Recon 50 Gaming Headset a try and see how it worked out since I've always heard that Turtle Beach was a good brand. Once I got the headset I pulled it out and decided to give it a try with my PC. The first thing I noticed that the mic that comes with the headset is detachable which is a nice little perk, since you don't have to have a mic in your face all the time even when you're not using voice. The headset also had 3.5mm headset mini-jack and comes with a splitter for separate headphone and mic mini-jacks. But since I plug in my mic into the back of my PC case I found that the original cord length without the splitter was too short to use alone, so I'm currently running it with the splitter for the added length. So I'd love to see these headsets come with a longer cord in the future to provide a bit more flexibility. On the cord itself is where a small toggle box is for the mic and to turn the volume up and down. It's fairly straight-forward, if a bit smaller than my old headset. No part of the headset is usb-powered either, so it might not have all the fancy bells and whistles of other headsets such as noise cancellation and sound amplification. I personally didn't find that it mattered all that much to me and according to those I game with my voice comes through clearly without any issue. The padding on the ear cups of the headset are fairly thick and soft, and also provide good filtration of outside sounds even from a television running at a decent volume in the background. They fit quite comfortably on my ears and I had no real complaints about them. The padding on the top band of plastic though is a bit thin, and while it could be thicker it didn't cause me any trouble through prolonged use of the headset, although it might matter to someone without thick hair to provide extra cushioning. The plastic that the headset is made from is fairly light and while I've read concerns about it being too thin and fragile on the band part, it hasn't been an issue for me. I've even dropped the headset on the floor a few times and haven't had any cracks or breaks. Lastly, the sound from the headset itself is great. I'm no audio specialist or anything, but for my gaming needs the headset provides everything that I could want in the sound department. My only issue is that the volume they provide is a bit low compared to my old headset, so I have to raise the volume on my PC a bit more than normal. I have yet to try out this headset with my PS4, but when I do I'll be sure to update this review. Overall though, I think that this headset is very nice for the PC gamer or your average voice chat user as it gets the job done. I give it a 4 out of 5 stars mainly because of the short cable length. ... show more

  • Great price; great quality
Color: Black / Red
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.) ... show more

  • Bad mic quality
Color: Black / Red
I trusted the brand but the mic was super staticy. I tried everything but other headsets worked just fine and troubleshooting didn't work. Had to return them and buy a different one. So disappointed!

  • You won't find anything better for this price
Color: Black / Red
For 30$ it's the best thing your gonna get. Got one a year ago and buying another one since I was not very kind to it. I've had 200$ headsets that where not much better than this one. It works very well and for 30$ the audio on games like rainbow six is pretty good. Mic works just fine as far as I know, no one's ever complained. Not very cool flashy like some others but I'd say it makes up for it in how well it works. ... show more
