Turtle Beach Recon 70 Multiplatform Gaming Headset for Xbox Series X| S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Mobile, & PC with 3.5mm-Flip-to-Mute Mic, 40mm Speakers-Blue Camo

DO NOT BUY THIS, waste of money. Stopped working within 3 weeks of use.

Horrific, they arrived and the headset in the box was not what was advertised or what was on the box, my son was still a little optimistic so tried them anyway, they didnt work, id actually go so far as to say they are very cheap knockoffs. unfortunately due to personal issues im over the allotted time for a return and refund but il call tomorrow and see what is said, everything crossed

I bought these in Feb 2021 initially as a headset mainly for steam but also to backup my PS4/5 Sony Golds (they aren’t Pulse 3D), but I quickly moved to only using these for PS5.APPEARANCE: the camo is very slick and I cabinet them when I’m not playing so no clash with the PS5 blancoFIT: I’ve got kind of a big head I guess, wear hats 7 1/4 and usually have glasses on when playing and the fit is pretty good. They fit snug with good compression over you ears that cancels noise a bit better than the PS4/5 gold. The cord plugs into the controller of course so I wouldn’t want it any longer for sure.SOUND: you won’t think you have Cowin or Beats on because the range doesn’t compare but you won’t notice. I play almost daily and I am not disappointed whatsoever. I also use them to watch movies/shows including Narcos, Loki, Mandolorian, Marvel, etc and the quality is not lost.VOICE SOUND: I’ve asked and have been told I sound clear and chat comes in clear.CONTROLS: what’s nice about this over the PS Gold is that the mic arm folds back flush with the head phones which mutes the mic. In some games, the PS5 controller mute button will mute all audio instead of just the mic. There’s only one volume control, so no independent chat control. Also, unlike the PS Gold headset, when this headset is plugged in, it doesn’t auto-mute your sound system, so you’ll have to manually turn it down to stop concurrent audio.DURABILITY: the photo attached was taken June 2022, 16 months after purchase with semi-daily use. I play and/or watch 5-7 nights a week for 2-4 hours a night, give or take and that’s how they held up. My prior PS4 Gold headset before my current one looked like chop suey in the same amount of time. My Cowin headset (for Bluetooth audio on non-gaming devices), gets daily use as well and is barely holding on and I think Cowin is the best out there. I do think these are very durable EVEN THOUGH the audio jack has the fated audio fade with positioning. They still work and I don’t know whether to fault the headphones wear and tear OR my son’s Mr Incredible reenactment with them a week ago, (the problem started same night so probably me son).PRICE: a steal, plain and simple. Look at the above to confirm. I wouldn’t buy any other headset if you’re not going all out for a $100+ set.OVERALL: I’m writing this review as I am perusing Amazon for a new headset to replace these due to the issue above, even though my PS Gold are in “perfect” working order, which says a lot. The quality of this set has me deeply pondering getting this over the Pulse 3D not only for the price but also the performance compared to the PS Gold sets I’ve owned.

My old Turtle Beach headset after 5+ years gave out and likely due to my son dropping them occasionally. I replaced them with this headset and pleased with my purchase. They have the same nice Turtle Beach mix of treble and bass for gaming. The build is plastic, but they do feel study. The head and ear cushions are comfortable and the flip up to mute the mic is a nice feature, too. If you have a larger adult head shape, these might feel a tad snug, but they did fit my 18 yr old son fine. The only thing I wish is they were USB, but the 3.5 plug-in works well. Overall a very good affordable gaming headset.

Good sound from headphones

The surround sound is amazing and the mic has a rich fullness to it
