I had this shipped to my son, who's last pair of Turtle Beach lasted over 2 years before we had to replace them. This pair didn't even last 2 weeks. I requested a return for them, but it had to be returned the day of the request and my son's Mom didn't get off work till after UPS was closed and all pick up locations had picked up for the day, so he got a $25 dollar gift that broke in less than a month. Have to contact Turtle Beach for replacement now and ship back at a cost of $9 so great purchase. Will think twice before purchase at Bestbuy in future.

I recently purchased the Turtle Beach Recon 50X Gaming Headset in the striking Black/Green color scheme for my son, and I must say, it's been a huge hit in our household. This versatile gaming headset has proven itself to be an excellent choice for a wide range of gaming platforms, including Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, mobile devices, and PC. Here's why we love it:
Sound Quality: The audio quality on the Turtle Beach Recon 50X is fantastic. It provides clear, immersive sound that allows my son to hear every detail in his games. Whether it's the footsteps of an opponent sneaking up in a shooter or the rich, booming soundtrack of an adventure game, this headset delivers.
Comfort: Comfort is crucial during extended gaming sessions, and Turtle Beach has nailed it. The Recon 50X features a lightweight design with plush ear cushions that fit comfortably over the ears. It's adjustable to fit different head sizes, making it suitable for both kids and adults.
Convenience: The 3.5mm connection is a breeze to set up. It's a simple plug-and-play solution, meaning there's no need for complicated setups or additional software installations. It also comes with an inline microphone, which works remarkably well for in-game communication.
Versatility: One of the standout features of this headset is its compatibility with a wide range of gaming platforms. Whether you're gaming on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, mobile, or PC, this headset has you covered. It's a fantastic option if you have multiple gaming systems or if you're unsure about your child's future gaming preferences.
Affordability: The Recon 50X offers exceptional value for the price. You get a high-quality gaming headset without breaking the bank, making it an excellent choice for budget-conscious gamers and parents.
In summary, the Turtle Beach Recon 50X Gaming Headset is a winner in terms of performance, comfort, versatility, and affordability. It has become an essential accessory for my son's gaming setup, and he absolutely loves it. Whether you're shopping for a young gamer or someone young at heart, this headset is a fantastic choice that won't disappoint.

Best Buy sold me a defective headset that broke off in the ps4 controller the same day my son opened them. They then told me that was my issue and would not be helping me.
The company is sending a new headset.

The Turtle Beach Recon 50X is a solid headset for casual and competitive gamers alike. I’ve been using it mostly on my Xbox Series X and occasionally on PC, and the sound quality is surprisingly good for this price point. The audio is clear and immersive, and the 40mm drivers deliver decent bass.
The headset is lightweight and comfortable even during long gaming sessions. The ear cushions are soft and don’t cause discomfort. I also appreciate that the mic is removable, which is great when I’m just using it to listen to music or watch videos.
Setup was super easy—just plug it into the controller or headphone jack and you're good to go. It also works well on PS5 and even on my phone.
For a budget-friendly headset, it definitely overdelivers. If you’re looking for reliable performance without spending a lot, this is a great pick.

Perfect for gaming. Clear and crisp. Fits nicely. The mic is slightly annoying in my face but that fould be just because it is unfamiliar. Plugs into laptop perfectly. The mic on/off switch is a nice.

I use both version, single ear and mic with this over ears and mike. Both have their pros and cons. Now some Pro's: Great sound, comfortable, great price. removable mic, can be used to hear game while having your TV or AV equipment muted. Con's: My ears get sweaty from time to time but not often. harder to hear others in the room, since you cover both ears. I would recommend these, but not if you want to talk to people in the room while you play. My son and I both have a pair and he loves his also.

These headphones do the job, nothing fancy but not cheap. They sound good and are comfortable to wear for a long gaming session. The chord could be a little longer and the inline mic controls a bit larger but otherwise it's well worth the cost especially if your not liking to spend $$$ Voice chat sounds good with the mic sounding clear

I had a headset like this before and I brought this one again to use with my PlayStation. I really like these headsets cause they are reasonably priced and still do a great job! I find them comfortable and when used in party chats and in game I hear clearly!

Hard to beat the value for the price. They are comfortable and cancel out noise very well. The option to remove the microphone when not needed is convenient especially when watching a tv show or movie. The only con is the audio could be a little louder for my personal taste, but for the price I am more than pleased.
