Why do you need to charge them if there’s a wire ? null

Short answer more power output, I guess. This is asked a lot around my friends. I can't attest to why it was designed that why, but what I can say is that the quality of the headphones are amazing. The charging time is nothing compared to how long it will last you and if push comes to shove, you can charge it while using it. There are two volume dials on the side of the headphones one for game volume and the other for mic monitoring. The mic monitoring will allow you to have conversations with people in the room or here your door open even with the headphones on. The game volume is such good quality you'll here things in the party chat that others can't.

So it doesnt drain your controller batteries quicker

Thanks for your inquiry. The Recon 200s require charging due to the fact that they are amplified headsets. In order for the amplification to work, the headset would need to be powered by a power source of some sort. Rather than tethering you to the console or another power source via a USB cable, we placed a rechargeable battery in the headset. This allows you to only have one connection to the console's controller, rather than two (one to the console, one to the controller).
