Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the sound quality, comfort, and value of the EAR FORCE Recon 30X gaming headset. Many found it lightweight and comfortable for extended use, while others appreciated its affordability. However, some experienced compatibility issues with certain devices and reported that the chat volume could be low. A few also noted that the fit wasn't ideal for all head sizes.

    Good Upgrade Over Standard XBox Headset

    The headset is comfortable and works great. I like the feature of only covering one ear so I can hear other sounds. The microphone and headphone are an overall great update when compared to the stock xbox headset. I believe this headset is a great value.

    Light weight and moderately comfortable after over an hour of usage. Since game audio does not play through headset, chat volume seems rather low even with volume turned up on headset.

    This headset is better than the original and has a much thicker cord which is the weak point of the official msft headset. you can only use with the newer controllers with the 3.5mm direct input in it so buyer beware. other than that nice and lightweight with good sound.

    I did a lot of research on headphone for a great gaming experience and I concluded that what I wanted wasn't what everybody else was looking for. I wanted great vocal audio quality on both ends and not some cheap one ear headphone. I like to socialize with people around me and with people on the console and this was perfect for that. The voices are crisp the sound I produce is crisp and the large earpiece has a perfect ventilation design that allows me to play for hours and hear my great stereo system without any issues.

    If you are looking to replace your regular headset and don't wanna pay alot of money for a pair of turtle beaches that Dosent cover both ears than I would recommend these sound is clear not muffled, the ear cup is hollow so that you can hear ambient noise to some it's a plus to others it's a problem it's ok for me because I like the in game ambient I'm using these headsets with the Microsoft control adapter cause I have a older control and the adapter allows me to control the ambient and chatt sounds I don't know if that can be done with the new controls because these headphones have a 3.5 plug at the end with a volume control and mute

    This headset really gets the job done! It's lightweight, comfy, and well designed. One problem I do have is that it's on the quiet side. Nevertheless, very good for the price!

    Headset works great with good sound quality. I like that it has mute and volume control. My only complaint is the fit. It doesn't quite go small enough. Great price though!

    For the same price as the official headset, I would chose this one. Great quality and features. The only downside, is that it fit weirdly on my head, not terrible, it just feels like it could fall off sometimes.

    Purchased these for our 10 yr old for xbox gaming. He is very happy with them. They are comfortable, the sound is clear and the mic is effective. They seem well made for the price point. A great value over all.

    It has a good quality sound. I can hear clearly to other gamers and the listen to me clear and loud. Also, it has an ear cushion that makes it comfortable to use.

    It's better than the "stock" headset, and is made exclusively for voice chat. If you're like me and have a solid surround system, you don't need to spend 250 bucks for good sound. You just need a functuoning, decent sounding mic . This is it.

    Hard to find one sided headphones. These are really inexpensive and sound great. You get what you pay for, so if needing a cheap headset of god quality this is the one.

    First headset we got didn't work. Went to Best Buy to exchange and they were out in the store. They said they ordered them but 2 weeks later I call and they weren't ordered. Got them and they work fine

    I really wish they would have included an adapter so you could hook it to the older controllers. Had to buy a new 50.00 controller just to use these,,, but they sound awesome.

    Would prefer both ears in a headset, doesn't stay very well if you move around too much. Good sound though and mic works well enough for my friends to hear me, also good price.

    Overall, the sound is okay quality-wise but somewhat lacking in the loudness department. Still, they fit snug on my head and the ear covering is very comfy. Would recommend!

    Solid sound, great mic quality. Only negative would be that it's a little hot on my ear but that's probably just me, the earcup is pretty breathable otherwise
