Customer Ratings & Reviews

These Turtle Beach RECON 200 (Gen 2) headphones are incredibly comfortable! They are replacing a 7+ year old pair of genuine Sony Silver Wired headphones that I've been using most weekends. Our normal gaming sessions last for about 5 hours on a Friday or Saturday night, and these new Turtle Beach headphones are so incredibly comfortable to wear. The memory foam ear cushions are covered in athletic fabric, and the foam itself is very soft and breathable. I would usually end up with hot ears and have to move my original headphones around to remain comfortable. I was able game for 5 hours without even thinking about the headphones. They memory foam also helps accommodate people who wear glasses, the pressure from the cups on the head is minimized, leaving them a lot more comfortable for glasses wearers. The padded grey headband also just rests on top of your head, and doesn't feel heavy or dig in at all. Sound was loud, clear and crisp, although, I did have a slight amount of really low level feedback in the background, and with the variable mic monitoring feature that these headphones have, I could hear my voice within my own ear cups when talking, which took some getting used to. But once leveled out with the independent game volume and voice volume controls incorporated into the ear cup, they were great. The sound was truly immersive, clear definition of sounds, explosions, footsteps, and according to my buddies, my voice was clean and crisp and they had no issues hearing me at all. This is absolutely key, as when you are strategizing, you don't want to have to keep repeating yourself, or interrupting. Everything was clear and crisp, both talking to my buddies and also hearing every word they said. You can also flip the mic up to mute, if you need to snack/drink/cough! These headphones also feature 'always on' Bass Boost, provided by the 12 hour battery life included in a single charge (that can also be charged while playing). I wouldn't say it was 'earthquaking rumble', but it was definitely present and sounded good. Overall, very happy with these lightweight, durable, and 'color co-ordinated with my PlayStation 5' (i.e. white) headphones! They are very comfortable, with clear sound, decent bass, good microphone pick up, easy of use controls on the ear cup to dial in your volumes (and even switch between XBox and PlayStation settings).

First thing I asked was, what's with the charging cable for a wired headset? Apparently this is actually pretty cool. The drivers are battery powered to amp up the sound quality for a more immersive gaming experience. I don't know why they feel the Playstation setting is louder than the Xbox setting. Reason being, it doesn't matter what system you play on, even for pc, just leaving it on Playstation mode and you'll get that extra kick. The revocable driver muffs are cloth and very comfortable. I've gamed with the for 5 hours straight before taking a break, even then, I didn't feel any ease fatigue. I just needed take a break, intermission, so to speak. I wear glasses, so it's important to have comfortable headphones. Job will done, on that front. The white goes great with my pc and would look great with a Playstation 5 or Switch OLED as well. All about that color coordination y'all. The 3.5mm jack allows you to use this for any of our consoles, PCs or smartphone with an aux port. Of course there's the boom mic and easy to use controls on the ear muff. Turtle Beach has made these very durable for the price tag. I really can't say anything bad about them. Only thing I can say is, if you can splurge, get yourself some wireless headphones, just for the ability to move more freely, but that's really it. These are some excellent headphones. And this is a great price for them. I believe they come in black or white, so you get to pick your flavor. Happy gaming. Yes. I recommend these.

I have used many headsets on my various Xbox models over the years. This is the 3rd from Turtle Beach. They continue to put out good gaming audio products. Pros: - My favorite feature is the mic monitor. None of my prior headsets had one and this was handy to be able to check if others can hear me ok or if my breathing could be heard. You never want to be the annoying person with a noisy mic in the party. - Sound was crisp and clear. Terrific audio quality for the price - This headset is compatible not just with Xbox models, but also the PS4, PS5, and can be used on PCs as well. - The headset is rechargeable, allowing for up to 10 hours of gaming at a time. - The feature to mute yourself simply by lifting the mic up and back is creative Cons: - My concerns all have to do with the USB-C charging cable and port. While the headset is rechargeable, the charging cable isn't long enough to conveniently play and charge at the same time. It's barely 2 feet long so expect to charge in between gaming sessions rather than during unless you have a USB port very close by. Another concern is that the USB-C connector doesn't fit neatly into the port on the headset. I have to use a little bit of force to get it plugged in. This doesn't impact functionality, but does seem like a minor design flaw. Overall, I'd encourage others to give this headset a look. It's affordable and performs as advertised. I'm a Turtle Beach fan.

This headset needs constant re-charging; it also has an issue with the sound and the microphone constantly has feedback, everyone in my Xbox parties say that my mic is echoing.

1yr and 1 month... They cracked. Nobody has a square head so above the ear, they have to be flexible somewhat.

Started glitching the first week very poor quality and it just sucks

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Absolute Game-Changer! Has Immersive Sound, Comfort, and Cross-Platform Excellence! The Turtle Beach Recon 200 Gen 2 is hands down one of the best gaming headsets I’ve used at this price point, and it absolutely delivers on every front. Sound quality is 10/10. The audio is crisp, punchy, and deeply immersive. The bass boost feature makes explosions in Call of Duty thunderous and cinematic, while still keeping dialogue and environmental cues sharp and clear. Whether you're sneaking through a stealth mission or in the middle of a chaotic multiplayer match, the directional audio gives you a real competitive edge. Mic clarity is crystal clear! The flip-to-mute mic is not only incredibly convenient, but the sound quality is impressively clean. Teammates have commented on how clear my voice sounds with no static, no distortion. Perfect for team-based games or even Zoom calls. Cross-Platform compatibility is seamless! I’ve used this headset on my Xbox Series X, PS5, PC, and even with my phone, just plug and play. No hassle, no software needed. It's a true all-in-one solution for gamers who play across multiple systems. Comfortable & built for long sessions: Turtle Beach nailed the comfort. The memory foam ear cushions with ProSpecs glasses-friendly design are a dream for long gaming marathons. I’ve worn them for hours with zero discomfort, even with glasses on. Battery life has impressive performance. The built-in battery powers the headset’s amplification and bass boost features for up to 12 hours, and even if the battery dies, you can still use it passively (a major plus). It charges quickly via USB-C, which is another welcome update. Design is very sleek & stylish: The white version is sleek, modern, and looks amazing with next-gen consoles. It has a clean, premium aesthetic that stands out without being too flashy. My Overall Opinion..... If you want rich, immersive sound, crystal-clear voice chat, all-day comfort, and true cross-platform convenience, all without breaking the bank, the Turtle Beach Recon 200 Gen 2 is a no-brainer. Whether you're a casual player or a competitive gamer, this headset will elevate your experience. Highly recommended. A must-have accessory for any serious gamer!

The Turtle Beach Recon 200 Gen 2 offers powerful, amplified sound with deep bass, making games feel more immersive. The microphone is clear and easy to mute by flipping it up, and the headset is comfortable enough for long gaming sessions. Battery life is solid, and it still works in passive mode if the battery runs out. Overall, it’s a great value headset for gamers looking for strong audio at an affordable price.

TURTLE BEACH - RECON 200 GEN 2 POWERED GAMING HEADSET FOR XBOX ONE & XBOX SERIES X|S, PLAYSTATION 4, PLAYSTATION 5 AND NINTENDO SWITCH - WHITE Model:TBS-6305-01 Best Buy Tech Insider Network GOOD GLASSES FRIENDLY GAMING HEADSET BY TURTLE BEACH OVERALL The TURTLE BEACH - RECON 200 has many great features, and is a good value at this price point. It is a gaming headset first, but does a good job at just audio as well. Since I play on PC, PS, and XBOX, I think it is great that it works well for all 3, with a physical switch to select between them (use PS for PC). I wear glasses, so it is sometimes hard to find a headset that is comfortable with glasses. The TURTLE BEACH - RECON 200 has just enough pressure to keep the headset on, without smashing your glasses into your ears. I especially appreciate that there is a separate microphone monitor volume, so I can hear myself when I talk and I don’t have to remix it through the console. I also like the flip up MIC to turn off the mic. The controls are easy to find without being too close together as is the case with some headsets. It is a wired headset, but if you want to use some of the features like mic feedback and bass boost, then you will want to charge it before your next gaming session. I did find that if I had it charging and playing at the same time, I had a slight buzzing sound (probably a ground issue on my PC). This is easily solved, by not charging it while playing. The fit is comfortable for my large head, though it does not use the newer “floating” style headband found on heavier sets. Overall, that is OK, as the TURTLE BEACH - RECON 200 is not very heavy at only about 275 grams. It was still very comfortable. The padding on the ear cups is perfect, not too hard or too soft. Note that if you use it on a PC that has separated MIC and HEADSET jacks you will need a splitter/combiner that is not included with the headset. SOUND QUALITY Audio is really subjective and hard to review, you have to test things out for yourself to find your own sweet spot Here are my subjective ratings. (10 = Best) OVERALL SOUND CLARITY = 7/10 BASS NOTES / RUMBLING / EXPLOSIONS = 6/10 CRISP HIGH NOTES = 6/10 For my taste the sound was good, but average, nothing wrong, but nothing special. It was surprising to me that the bass was not stronger given the “always on” bass boost. MICROPHONE QUALITY The microphone is very clear (better than most in this range), but because there is no active noise canceling, you could also hear every keypress on my mechanical keyboard, while I was gaming on my PC. The mic almost seems omnidirectional due to all the background noises it was picking up. PRO’s - Lightweight - Glasses Friendly - Hardwired, so you know it works with everything - Powered for bass boost - Selectable between PC/PS/Xbox - Quality Build Overall (but I don’t like the cheap cord vs braided cords) - Great sounding Microphone - Microphone Monitor W/ Separate Volume - USB-C Charging Cable (instead of Micro USB) RECOMMENDATION The TURTLE BEACH - RECON 200 is a great value headset. It is not an ultra high-end headset that costs 10X either. It is a very attractive and overall good all-around performer that works on all platforms without breaking the bank. I have other gaming headsets in this range, that might sound a touch better, but without as many features like flip up mic or microphone monitor. As I said, the sound part is really subjective and changes even from headsets of the same make and model due to slight variations in the mfg process. Even though the sound is not perfect, I still give the TURTLE BEACH - RECON 200 full marks due to its overall build quality, comfort, and features. In other words, I don’t expect studio quality sound in this range.

This headset is incredible! I had the pleasure of trying out this product in the store and could not believe the sound quality, affordable pricing and comfortability on my head while I was gaming! Would recommend to anyone looking for a great gaming headset.

These are the headphones i purchase everytime i buy a set. I have 5 kids, ages 7-19. We have 5 xboxes and multiple computers. We play video games a LOT. I would not be so niave as to say these are the “best on the market”, but they can be found everywhere and work on all the different systems we have (more than just xbox). There are settings that need to be used on the xbox as well as the headphones, and you do need to charge them. I get about 10-20 hours or so from a songle charge depending on how loud i have them turned up, and its the same cable as the controller uses to charge them. They could be a little more comfortable on the band over the head, but i don’t have a headache when i play for 5 hours or so on a Friday night with my friends. Dollar for dollar, these are easy to use, comfortable, and last about a year before they have issues. I keep buying them to replace old ones because other brands at this price do not produce a good quality product.

Ive bought some headphone just too play x-box with and hands down these are the best quality in sound and comfort i have ever had. Deffenatly worth getting these!

ver comfy and reliable had many features and a nice battery time also flip mic to mute wich is very simple and easy

I really like these. My one complaint is that you can burn the battery fast if you forget to switch them to off. Otherwise, they are comfy, the sound is fantastic, and the mic works wonderfully. Charge time lasts quite a few hours. Playing war games with these headphones is a game changer, as the ambience really changes when you can hear the bullets and explosions from different sides. 9/10 would recommend.

Really great headphones, sound quality is nice while holds charge well

This headset is amazing and affordable as to the other headsets on the Market it’s good for both consoles as it has settings for PlayStation and Xbox You can adjust the Audio and mic volume from the side and it’s easily foldable

Awesome headphones, very comfortable, amazing sound quality, great ergonomic feeling, great quality built and great price. Totally a must have for gamers.

Great headphones. Noise is reduced significantly. Comfortable and easy to use good battery life

Last a long time and has good sound quality I would recommend

They are great! I just wish they had the Bluetooth capability, but other than that a great pair of headphones and the built-in mic is a great addition.
