Turtle Beach Recon 50 Headset Wired Head-band Gaming Black, Green

I managed to get these cheap on a sale and they are excellent. The sound quality is great for the price. Only issue I've had is the mic occasionally not picking up my voice, very rarely through. Good, sturdy all round headset.

So I use my headset every other day and it's really good no issues at all. Can remove microphone and just use as headphones for other devices too. Just all round great value for money and good to use.

I purchased the version of these headphones designed for the Xbox One, and despite there being some doubts upon buying it because of the complaints about mostly the microphone, I haven't experienced an issue, and I bought it in March (it is now July).The audio quality is decent, you are able to hear people clearly and this ultimately means the headphones themselves are good. The jacks are durable and will not break easily, so that means if they stop working, you are more likely to have a flaw in the specific model or you've dropped it quite a lot or similar than it actually being a fault with the product as a whole. The microphone, does not have an echo, so that is fantastic for anyone who does not want one, which I would assume is most people since it is an inconvenience to everyone else you talk to.This headset includes the mute for your microphone on the headset, as most headsets do, which is a useful feature and nice to have for quickly muting your microphone, especially if there is a disturbance nearby. It also has your general volume management wheel which is on most headsets as well, although it would be nice for it to be able to get louder in some circumstances.Overall, this is a very solid headset, it is affordable, trustable, and you should not necessarily need to get a replacement quickly as it works just fine. Please ensure though that you do not drop, throw or anything of the sort to your headset, and then complain that it does not work or stopped working. The audio quality COULD be better, but it isn't bad by any means, and this is a fairly cheap headset in comparison to others. So, fairly solid headset, I do recommend this one.(FYI - I am not sure what the differences are for each headset meant for a specific console, please take this as a review for the Xbox One headset)

excellent entry level gaming , Comfortable ., Crystal clear sound and mic

My son has used these day in day out for months on end now and they are still going strong. Considering these are his 4th pair that shows they are good quality and durable. They are wired too and I was a little dubious of the wire becoming unstable after many uses and with a very disorganised messy 11 year old autistic boy being heavy handed, leaving them on the floor ect. I am super impressed with how long they have lasted. Highly recommend!

These have a lot of plusses. They work perfectly on both the Xbox one and the pc, although an adaptor is needed if you have an older Xbox one controller, and my son uses another adapter on the PC. He doesn't have to, but insists one two jacks are better than one, so he uses a splitter. The first one we bought was a bit crackly with poor sound, and failed altogether within two weeks so had to be returned, but we bought another right away which was so good we ended up buying yet another so both boys have one.The good points to this product are that when it works properly the sound quality is excellent, my son's friends pick them up loud and clear too, so no more shouting when they play games. The headset is light and comfortable, and they are quite happy to wear it for hours on end. They have in fact spent an entire day playing with each other and talking to each other online.... While in rooms only a few feet part. A shame they don't talk so much without the electronics. My son said it even works with his tablet.The down side is kind one set failed so quickly, and we have had problems with other Turtle Beach Products having short lifespans. However, there is just nothing else in this price range with this type of sound quality, that offers both game and chat sound, for either Xbox or PC, so we continue to buy. The fact that one failed so quickly is my only reason for a lower rating, coupled with the fact that none of our Turtle Beach Products have lasted much more than a year, and we have had quite a few. But do keep in mind, I bought two more afterwards, so I do still recommend the product.For those who may be playing in a family or living room, or even bedroom with a sleeping spouse, there is no sound leakage at reasonable volumes. I do not here the game itself at all when I walk in the boys room. It also cuts back significantly on back ground noise for them, but they can still hear speaking if you are loud enough. That said they hear " The pizza is here" ever so much easier than, "It is time to shut that off and go to bed".I would also note that the microphone comes unattached. When you put this on, be certain it snaps into place. I could not do this myself due to a disability that affects my hands. It does take a bit of strength. But if not snapped in correctly, the mic may fail to pick up well, resulting in poatchy conversations and may fall out and get lost.

had before good headset just gotta be careful with it
