Customers are saying

Customers admire the Recon 500 headset's sound quality and comfort, with many praising its lightweight and comfortable design. However, some users reported issues with the microphone, citing concerns about its placement and functionality. The microphone's lack of adjustability was also a point of criticism for some customers. Overall, the positive feedback on sound and comfort seems to outweigh the negative comments regarding the microphone.

    Did not sound very good on an xbox. This may have been a fine product for PC. Would recommend Getting Turtle Beaches designed specifically for the xbox if that is where you wan to use this.
