Wired, but still needs to be charged?

This headset has been absolutely fantastic compared the super budget friendly ones I had been using in the past. However, I bought it EXCLUSIVELY because I hate having to charge a headset so I do not like wired ones. This is wired and still needs charged. If I had known that I would have purchased a wireless model or searched for a different wired model. Do not buy this if you're trying to avoid charging. Great headset, but completely pointless for it to be wired.

Thanks for your feedback!
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).
Is there anything else that we are able to assist you with? Our Support Team is always happy to help as needed, and we can be reached right from the support section of the Turtle Beach website.
Thanks!

Bought this for my 12 year old son to replace the one that he broke.
So I didn't want to spend that much more for it to happen again.
So I picked up these and they do sound nice and are comfortable.

I vought these as a Christmas gift for my girlfriend. She likes them a lot. The color on them looks awesome and they sound really good and get loud enough unlike other headphones we have tried. The only thing that bothers her is after wearing them for a while, they put a little too firm pressure on her head and start to hurt. They might feel better after being broke in, but besides that they are great.

Near perfect experience. If I'm playing shooter, zombie or any game that has directionality these WORK. They're powered so they get loud and play out of the ear the enemy / teammate is closest too. It's also terrible if you're only hearing stuff out of one ear. It hasn't been too long and my friends have been saying they hear a little static here and there but I think these are solid. Just get the replacement plan

Great headset! The sound is amazing. The only downside is they have to charge and there is no battery indicator on them, so they will die without warning

Got this for my boyfriend and he loves it. Headphones have impressive audio quality and the bass is incredible. Half the time he wants to use it just to listen to music.

Excellent pair of headphones. Great sound great bass clear quality. I have a pair of hyper X and the sound much better. The fact that they are powered make a big difference.

Prefer my older turtle beaches. This 1 seems like it will hold up better but the texture around the ears is just not as comfortable as the cloth ones I'm used to. Also be careful to turn off when not using as it will not auto-turn off after a set time.
Very cool that it works for both xbox and PS4/PS5 though unlike earlier versions of turtle beaches.
Look great also.

Before the negative I will say that I have purchased this brand before and still use after. There is nothing wrong with the sound but if you forget to charge these then they are useless. Even though you plug them in to your controller so they aren’t wireless. Maybe it’s just me but I have enough thongs in my day to day that need to be charged and I don’t want my gaming headset to be another one.

My son received these for Christmas and they have been his best gift since he plays online most of the time. Great fit and very good quality. He got a pair with a Nintendo Switch bundle so he is set.

I like the bass and overall quality for the price would recommend to someone but make sure to get warranty on it since it has history or problems.
