    Good value. Sound quality is about what you'd expect for the price. Not a fan of the microphone you have to plug it into the headset. Overall I would recommend it for a budget friendly option.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Crystal clear chat and a great feature with the mic that can be removed when watching movies or listening to music. Very lightweight and comfortable to wear for hours of play. You can hear everything with the speakers clearly. Controls are easy to reach and use and the whole unit is very versatile.
