I needed a headset with inline controls to mute while streaming. I hate to talk over my party chat so I tend to mute but also have a Fusion A controller that only has the 40MM jack, so the adapter doesn't work. This was perfect. They're comfortable, portable and just great for the money. The sound is the absolute greatest but it gets the job done. If you're looking for a cheap headset to game with, these will work great.

Stellar Choice in Gaming Headset

The Turtle Beach Recon 50X gaming headset is a stellar choice for gamers across multiple platforms. Firstly, the audio quality is outstanding. The 40mm speakers deliver crisp and clear sound, allowing you to hear every detail and immerse yourself fully in the gaming world. Whether it's the subtle footsteps of an approaching enemy or the thunderous roar of an explosion, the headset provides a well-balanced sound that enhances the gaming experience. Comfort is another standout feature of the Recon 50X. The lightweight design and soft, leatherette-wrapped ear cups ensure extended gaming sessions without discomfort. The over-ear design effectively blocks out external noise, letting you focus entirely on your game. Moreover, the affordability of the Turtle Beach Recon 50X is another appealing aspect. Despite its high-quality features, this headset comes at a very reasonable price point, making it an excellent value for gamers looking for performance without breaking the bank.

For a budget headset, this one punches above its weight. Audio is clear, the mic works great for party chat, and it’s comfortable for long play sessions. Works well with Xbox and PC. If you need something reliable without dropping big bucks, the Recon 50X gets the job done.

They're headphones; so far they're holding up decently. They're about 9 months old now, so despite what a lot of new Turtle Beach naysayers disparage, them seem pretty decent for the price. Quality is what you'd expect with the price tag, but in a pinch, they do the job.

Decent headset for the money. Has good sound and mic works well. Doesn't noise cancel and mic doesn't retract. Fairly comfortable to wear during long gaming sessions. It is great for a backup headset or to allow others to use.

These are decent and cheap. The volume isn't as loud as i hoped but for the price point you cannot really complain. The ear muffs are comfortable and doesn't cause your ears to sweat. The mic is clear and doesn't pick up too much background noise. I did notice an echo and you can hear yourself talk. However i think that may be an Xbox issue and not the headphones. As after a while the echo goes away but then comes back. Overall these are very decent for the price point. We got 3 of these for our household, so the kids and us can game together and chat without having to yell across the house.

Sounds pretty natural, not over-boosted.
Used mainly for gaming.

Got them for my nephew. He is not the best when keeping his stuff from breaking, but these headphones have proven themselves time and time again. Plus the sound on these are really good for being a basic model.

My son is in love with this head set. He can hear his game and talk with his friends effortlessly while gaming he has the power now to NOT make mom hear his crazy sounds from his various games and I don’t have to hear 5 12yo boys talking about fallout 4 and Fortnite or mine craft. With these head phones I talked to my bestbuy associate there in gaming and she helped me out getting all my sons game gear. And she recommended this headset said he would love them and she was right. And she asked if I wanted geek squad protection for the head set it was only 10 bucks more so after all two years protection and replacement for sure dumb question. But she did a great job and my son said for me to tell everyone that for the price of this headset with protection for two years and the sound quality with mic you can’t beat it. Everyone needs to only buy one headset and this is the ONE.

I was looking for a decent headset that I could use for both my PC and Xbox One that wasn't too expensive. I found this and finally decided to get this after reading most of the reviews.
It's a great headset that's not outrageously expensive. It's much better than my old one where they became uncomfortable after a while. I've never had over the ear headset before, it's comfortable never get tired or sore from wearing it especially after playing for hours. I really like that you can take off the mic and just use it as headphones if you want. Easy to use with Xbox by just plugging it into the controller. It works for PC but you'll need a Male to Female Headset Microphone Audio splitter. They're pretty cheap lucky for me I had an old adapter lying around.

We picked this headset up looking for a replacement to the standard xbox live headset. Overall, it works very well. The mic picks up speech very clearly. It is also quite comfortable to wear for longer periods of time. I would say the one small negative for the headset is that the sound on it is a little bit tinny and flat compared to other stereo headsets we have had in the past. It still is good enough for general gameplay, but if you are looking for something that sounds loud and "full", you may want to go with a different headset. On the positive side, this headset seems so far to be pretty high quality for the money and seems to be constructed from better materials, so we are hoping that it will last longer as a result. (We have had pretty poor luck with any headset from any brand lasting longer than a half a year). In any case, I would recommend this headset at the price it is selling for. It is a nice one.

Excellent headphone for the price. The headphone has a really good sound and the ear cushions are really comfortable and fitting. The only problem is the ear jack can easily rip off the wire or bend if you’re not careful.

I found this headset at various stores and Best Buy was the cheapest. I have had no issues with this headset. I use it with the Xbox one stereo adapter and the sound quality is great. The ear pieces fit comfortably even during long periods of gaming. Overall great headset for the price of $40. I would recommend this to any novice gamer.
