A solid wired headset
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very basic at first glance but turtle beach has yet to disappoint with this wallet friendly addition to their lineup of fantastic gaming headsets. The quality of the sound is excellent, and the ear pieces are large enough to fit my big ears and comfortable enough to be worn for longer periods of time. Flipping the mic up for mute is a nice touch instead of hunting on the wire for a button or switch. The volume wasn’t initially findable. But once I noticed it was on the back of the earpiece on the mic side, I got used to and even appreciated its positioning. And while I initially purchased these for my PS4 Pro, I was delighted to find that they worked interchangeably with my Xbox one X.
I would recommend this to a friend Break Easily
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This model breaks easily. My mic broke off within 2 weeks of having it and best buy would not allow me to refund/exchange. Smh

- Pros mentioned:Comfort, Sound quality
Lightweight, but durable
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.-- Pros -- * Lightweight * Good sound quality * Good mic quality * Decent noise isolation -- Cons -- *Non-detachable mic I've used a few different PS4 headsets over the years that seemed to have fallen into two categories: (1) Good sound quality, but bulky and heavy (2) Lightweight, but only "meh" sound quality When I first took the Recon 70 out of the box, I thought it was going to fall into the second category. While it doesn't sound as good as some of the more expensive USB desktop headsets I use, I was honestly surprised with its sound quality compared to other PS4 headsets. The sound quality is pretty good, especially considering how very light-weight this headset is. Not only is the sound quality good, but it actually does a good job at noise isolation. While the Recon 70 is quite light, it's surprisingly durable. My kids and I have dropped it several times on hardwood floor, and it still looks and sounds the same as day one use. The mic quality is also decent, but I wish the mic was detachable. It does fold up to be out of the way if you don't need it though. Overall, these are a solid option if you're in the market for a new PS4 headset.
I would recommend this to a friend Horrible sound quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just got the headset last week and the first night I used it the sound would get funny for like 2 minutes at a time and keep happening throughout the night.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendIt gets the job done.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Gave it a 3 star because of the fact that if my fans on, people cannot heat me because it sounds choppy.
I would recommend this to a friendWrong color

No mic control
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terrible! You can not control the mic? It just stays on the whole entire time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Turtle Beach Support
Posted .Thanks for your feedback, however the Recon 70 is equipped with a Microphone Mute feature. As noted within your product's User Guide, the Recon 70's microphone would need to be flipped up in to the "mute" position in order for the microphone to mute.
If you are rotating the microphone in to the mute position as instructed within the product's User Guide and continue to have the same experience, please know that our dedicated Support Team can be reached right from the support section of the Turtle Beach website. They're always happy to provide assistance with troubleshooting as needed.
Thank you kindly!

Great Product quality and great value
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Turtle Beach is the go to brand for any type of gaming as far as audio. This is the 3rd pair of Recon 70 headphones that I have purchased for my boys. Not because they break but because they last and are the best quality for the money!! By far.
