    Worked great until I lost a game and threw it down with Hulk Hogan / John Cena force and smashed it like a green HULK. It actually still worked after that but the frame was toast...kinda impressed

    Fantastic sound quality and comfort for the price point. Only negative is the ear muffs make your ears hot after an hour of use. Other than that very reliable and the detachable microphone is useful when not chatting

    good headset for PS4

    I am currently using this headset on the PlayStation 4. The 3.5 mm jack plugs right into the controller, and I get great sound from my games. My friends say that my voice comes through loud and clear. They are comfortable to wear for extended gaming sessions, and the in-line muting and volume is nice for on the fly adjustments. My only complaint is that the microphone boom is quite rigid, and doesn't really allow for much movement. But it is detachable if you want to use the headset for audio only. The plastic does feel a tad on the cheap side, but for $40 I'm not expecting top of the line build materials.

    Great headset if you’re looking to do some intense gaming on it, Mic works well it might be a bit uncomfortable. If you have big ears. Other than that, it’s a great mic for console gaming.

    I bought these headphones, so I could have an extra set. My kids like to watch Netflix on my One and they tend to leave my Xbox headphones laying around. I am comparing these the Xbox headphones. The TBs sound just a bit better and I can hear more sounds over the Xones. The comfort is much better and they allow for more air movement so your ears do not sweat. I paid $40 and I feel that was a great price for the quality of the product. If you are looking for a inexpensive alternative, look no further! You will need to purchase the headphone jack adapter for the Xbox one controller to use the TBs.

    This headset is good enough if you’re not looking to spend a lot of money. They are not noise cancelling, don’t sit completely flush and don’t control any of the background noise. They don’t pick up a lot of smaller sounds too. I don’t like that the microphone is removable. Overall though, they pick up my voice well, they fit fine, the directional sound is good. Great for beginners!

    The headphones work perfectly, the sound is clear, rich, and truly immersive, perfect for gaming, music, or calls. They’re very comfortable, even after long sessions, and the microphone picks up the voice crisp and clean. I also love the design, stylish, lightweight, and sturdy. Overall, a great purchase that’s totally worth it!

    Will not work on PC out of the box

    These are comfortable and sound great for stereo and work well for chat. However, these were bought under duress when my son's PC gaming headset failed. The package says it works with PC and I should have been more skeptical since they are marked primarily as an Xbox One headset. I should have been more diligent before purchasing. When we got home and opened them their was only a single 3.5mm 4 pole connector. The instructions said for PC use I had to purchase a mic splitter adapter from Turtle Beach. So I did and the cost of cable with shipping plus the week wait was unacceptable. Hence one star off. Had I wrote this review as I was going thru this, I would have been less gracious. Also note, even though a xbox one headset, these do not plug into a legacy xbox one controller either. You need a newer xbox one controller with the 3.5mm jack or the headphone adapter allowing a legacy controller to use this xbox one headset. Minus another star. Again, this is imo a 5 star product with some caveats.

    Good Headset for the Money

    The Turtle Beach EAR FORCE Recon 50X is a great headset for the money. We all know the headsets that come with our console are of sub-par quality and definitely need an upgrade....especially when playing any FPS like Battlefield 1 or Call of Duty. The Ear Force Recon 50X is great headset that isn't going to break the bank. It doesn't have DTS or any higher end features like the Stealth 800's, but the sound is good and the headset is comfortable on the head. Plus with the boom style mic communicating with friends or teammates is easy and voice is clear...

    I didn’t have many expectations when I bought these headphones. I had dropped quite a bit of $ for my PC headphone/mic set, but I needed a quick set to play a game with my friends on the PS and I didn’t have time to research. For the cost, this product works fantastic. After about 4 hours I could feel the pinch, but they are comfy. The sound is good, the mic works good (according to my friends). Again, for the cost, this is a solid buy. Never heard of this company, but I’m a full supporter now. Quality for less $, yes please!

    Ive tried many headphones over a long gaming career. This is the best bang for your buck. Ive dropped them hundreds of times and they still work good. Expect them to last you a over a year of heavy gaming. You have to be gentle with the wires. The attachable microphone is crystal clear with a small sponge to help drown out background noise.

    I wanted to up my headset game on the PS4, but not drop $100+ which seemed a bit unnecessary. I found these on sale and bought online, picked up in store. There were only a few left, so I'm glad I was able to grab one! First, Turtle Beach is just a great headset brand, so I expected to get a quality product and they delivered on that. I have all of my audio running the headset and the audio is fantastic. It is great to put on the headphone and sneak some games without my wife knowing! I LOVE the detachable mic. It is a great idea and really easy to remove and plug back in. Overall, comfortable and great quality product, especially for the price.
