Hear a revolution in gaming audio with the Turtle Beach Recon 500. Featuring first-of-their-kind 60mm Eclipse™ Dual Drivers delivering stunning sound with dedicated woofers and tweeters, engineered with AccuTune™ for acoustic perfection. Keep in touch with your teammates (or taunt your enemies) on the removable TruSpeak™ noise-cancelling mic delivering clear, pro-level comms. Play in comfort – even during marathon sessions – thanks to breathable memory foam ear cushions and a durable, lightweight, metal-reinforced headband. And its simple wired connection works perfectly on any device using a standard 3.5mm jack, so your Recon 500 is always ready for battle, no batteries required. Arctic White
60mm Eclipse Dual Drivers
Patented, industry-first dual drivers are designed with separate chambers that control low and high frequencies for vastly improved audio detail over a conventional driver. The larger 60mm size produces a massive soundstage for an ultra-realistic gaming experience.
Pro-Level Comms
Developed for professional gaming, the TruSpeak uni-directional, noise-cancelling microphone delivers clear, reliable chat and removes easily for use when chat isn’t needed.
AccuTune Precision
With Eclipse Dual Drivers, we needed our most precisely engineered earcup to date to maximize performance. Our AccuTune precision tuning process uses a wood pulp composite injection in the Dual Driver cap for a completely new internal design to deliver rich, natural sound.
Supreme Comfort
Soft memory foam ear cushions wrapped in athletic weave fabric keep you comfortable and cool in the heat of the battle.
Durable, Lightweight Design
The adjustable, metal-reinforced headband is built to last, flexible, and lightweight for marathon gaming sessions.
ProSpecs Glasses Relief
Turtle Beach’s exclusive ProSpecs comfort-driven design removes pressure on your glasses while you play.
On-Ear Controls
Easily accessible volume control and mic mute located on the earcup.
Multiplatform Compatibility
Works perfectly with your favorite game consoles, controllers, mobile devices, or anything with a standard 3.5mm jack. Xbox Series X|S & Xbox One | PS5™ & PS4™ | Nintendo Switch™*

Only compatible in handheld mode; chat available for games that support in-game chat capability.

- A: AnswerThis headset can be used with the Headset Audio Controller. You'd want to ensure the volume level on the headset was turned up all the way on the headset itself prior to connecting it to the Headset Audio Controller. Once you've done that, you can connect the headset to the Headset Audio Controller and use its buttons for future volume adjustments.
Answered by Turtle Beach Support
Q: Questioncan this be connected to a computer ?(3 answers)
A: AnswerYes, this can be used on a PC. If your computer has a single combo jack (one jack for audio and microphone purposes), then you would not need any additional accessories. If your computer is equipped with separate jacks for audio and microphone purposes, then you would need an additional cable known as a PC Splitter Cable.Answered by Turtle Beach Support
Q: QuestionDoes the TurtleBeach Recon 500 have directional audio?(1 answer)
A: AnswerThe Turtle Beach Recon 500 is a stereo headset that would be compatible with directional audio features like Xbox's Window's Sonic Surround or the PlayStation's 3D Audio.Answered by Turtle Beach Support
Q: QuestionDoes this headset have a sidetone (mic-monitoring)?(2 answers)
A: AnswerI dont know what u mean side tone but i know for sure it does on xbox platform meaning its your controller that does mic monitoring with a wired headset like theseAnswered by Warrantyneveragainnoobppl
Q: QuestionDo these needed charged like the recon 200?(2 answers)
A: AnswerNope, fully wired, so all you need is a 3.5 MM Auxiliary Jack.Answered by LeapingYears
- A: AnswerYes, they do. The noise cancelling is actually relatively good, too, considering it’s just the insulation doing it.
Answered by LeapingYears
- A: AnswerThe main band is actually quite durable and it’s meant to be bent, as well as being relatively elastic. You should have no worries, unless you’re trying to pull the headphones fully flat.
Answered by LeapingYears
Q: QuestionIs this wired to the controller?(3 answers)
A: AnswerThat’s what’s intended. Works perfectly with controllers. I use them with my PlayStation controller and I haven’t had any issues.Answered by LeapingYears

A little snug.
The size of the adjustment range is a bit small. My Bose headphones fit over a hat, and Icannot get these to sit comfortably as such in same attire.

Great quality for a great price
With the microphone breaking on my Recon 200 (1st gen) headset I needed a new headset and for the time something that was equally as low cost as the Recon 200 was when I got it. While this headset lacks the extra "umph" of the bass boost of the 200, the trade off of not having to charge the headset really while still having great quality sound made this end up being worthwhile.
