Customer Ratings & Reviews

Poor quality. Ear cushion comes off really soon aftwr first use. Sound quality could be clearer.

These headphone snapped off in the controller day one. It ended up costing me more than I paid for the headset.

I can't even use it, it's strictly only for XBOX and isn't even loud or noise cancelling.

Sound issues from the beginning. Cord constantly shorts out and will not work. I would not recommend.

Bought these for my son for his birthday and they quit working a week later wouldn't buy.

Have had 2 of these break within months of buying them with no help from Best Buy customer service.

I've been using these to play mostly shooters like Apex Legends and they are great! The Windows Sonic compatibility adds a great surround sound aspect to them, which helps to locate enemies around you that you can't see just yet. The bass is just the right amount of booming and the sound isolation is good too. They're also quite comfortable and fit my head well. I would definitely recommend these, especially at their entry-level price point. The only con I can come up with is that it has a flip-up-to-mute mic. This seems cool in theory, and headsets I've used in the past have had this too, but in reality it can be kind of tricky if you're trying to play, but need to mute yourself quickly (like for a cough or sneeze) since it requires you to take a hand off the controller. I would've preferred a mute button you can press with your thumb quick like the standard xbox chat headset. Honestly though, that shouldn't keep you from getting these headphones. They're worth it.

terrible headphones did not last long broke first week

I am writing this review coming from owning a pair of Stealth 700. The Recon 70 was packaged nicely as I expected. The headset itself is lightweight and will not cause fatigue due to its weight however I they did not feel as "roomy" as the other headset. I felt more squeezed wearing this headset. They are circumaural which is nice so you don't get that irritation of drivers resting on your ear. The construction is plastic and seems not as sturdy as the Stealth 700 however they seem appropriate for its price point. The wire does seem a little more sturdy than other wired sets I have used. The Recon 70 only has one dial to adjust sound. There are no separate controls to adjust sound vs voice although I wish there were. The sound quality is crisp and clear however the mids and highs tend to be more prominent. The bass could definitely afford to be deeper. When I asked users who I was speaking with through the headphones they definitely noticed a difference in how my voice sounded. The headset's mic flips up and down to engage/mute and the other users could hear me toggling the mic. They also noticed some "vibration" when I spoke and one said I sounded "plasticky". Overall, the headset is a quality product at its price point. The sound quality is good but could be more bassy. The mic serves its purpose but is clearly not as high quality as its wireless big brother. Construction is appropriate. My only complaint is having one volume dial instead of separate ones for voice and sound. I would recommend this product to anyone in the market for a wired headset at this price point.

pretty good sound for a pretty good price. easy to use.

The sound quality and mic quality are superb for the price. The amount of comfort is pretty good as they don't bother my ears at all.

So I put this headset through about 30 hours of game play. The good: -The sound is great. Nice crisp highs and descent booming bass. If at max volume, you can adjust through the xbox if you need more volume. -The mic flips up when you want it out of the way. My friends said that they could hear me perfectly without any problems. The not so good: -The headset is pretty much entirely made with plastic. I heard creaking while adjusting. -I had to adjust the size to max to fit me but even then it still felt kinda small for my head. I was afraid of breaking them if I tried stretching them out any further. I wear glasses so they gave me headaches from time to time. -The ear cups are made with faux leather. My ears got pretty warm and at times got sweaty. They are a good entry level gaming head set probably more tailored for kids and more narrower shaped heads. Over all I thought they were pretty average. Give them a test ride. You might like them.

My son's have through several heading sets that break down from use, before I got this brand. This has held up really well with no issues.

Overall great headset good feeling and sound I can hear everything.

Great quality sound and good microphone according to people I play with.

Very good quality fits well and sound quality is excellent

Comparing this headset to other headsets I would only give this a 3. I purchased one 5 years ago and it had a lot more settings for a $40 Turtle Beach headset. This you can only control the sound and that is it. The mute is only controlled by tilting the mic up. It should have more settings like the original to make it worth the $40. But it does have amazing sound quality. If you are broke and want to cheap out this is the headset to get, just toy around with your consoles settings. 6.8/10 would recommend.

Work great and are budget friendly, bought one for each of my kids and they love it

I was shocked by how long my Turle beach headset has lasted, I would recommend this product for the long term.

Works great for the inexpensive price compared to more costly headsets
