  • 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

  • Has science gone too far?
Color: Black / Blue
Really great quality for the price. I remember when a headset like this would run you $100. I’m very pleased that technology has advanced far enough to have a nice PS5 headset this accessible that doesn’t cost you half a paycheck. Can make the ears sore after long use but that’s really like any headset. Stereo sound is good too if you don’t want to use speakers. ... show more

  • Amazing
Color: Black / Green
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. ... show more

  • Affordable Gaming Headset
Color: Black / Green
Cheap and affordable headset. Works good and has good audio quality especially for the price. Only thing I would prefer is a little more cushion for the top of the head but for the price I can't really complain!!!

  • The longest lasting headphones I've had
Color: Black / Green
These headphones man, they're something else, they're like the cockroaches of the headphones market in the sense that they just do not die, I've had these since the launch of xbox one, I played destiny 1 on launch with these, I bought these in high-school and I'm 27 now and they still work, a little finicky at times, but that's expected with a pair of headphones this old, I don't care much for mic quality, only durability and these hold up to the test of time, the only reason I'm upgrading to a different headset is because the ear cups have finally started to peel and fall apart, so these are being retired and put on the shelf as a backup pair, hopefully my new ones hold up just as well as these have. Also to turtle beach, I'm pissed that you discontinued the stealth pro, completely ruined my day finding that out and I actually cancelled my order over it, discontinuing support on your flagship headset is the worst marketing idea in my opinion, I found out when I went to purchase extra batteries for it as insurance, I really wanted to stick with turtle beach, but due to turtle beach discontinuing support on a headset that expensive, they have lost me as a customer. But the recon 50x is 1000% worth the money, oll say that much. ... show more

  • Amazing for the money. Absolutely LOVE these!
Color: Black / Blue
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. ... show more
