    Everything you need

    After countless hours reviewing headsets in the $60-120 range I was left lost with what seemed like no real option. Then I came across these bad boys for $40 and it was game on. Sound is crisp, footsteps and gunshots are easily detectable directionally, they are comfortable and the removable microphone is the cherry on top. Look no further for your headset. P.S. since purchasing these I have had FOUR friends go out on my recommendation to buy the same pair (albeit they all bought white when I got black). They are all thrilled with them still, and it’s been about a month.

    TB RECON 50X -- Easy to use, good quality FOR $$

    This Headset was exactly what i was looking for. MY husband has an XBOX ONE CONSOLE, & Back in January 2020 he purchased himself a better controller, XBOX ONE WIRELESS.. ARMED FORCES II Controller. Then for past 6 months he wanted a headset w/mic for while playing LIVE, online. He really wasn't sure what to get so I decided, to look around & check out ALL the diff headsets & read to see what would work with. Then last wk, mon, i picked up the Turtle beach Recon 50X headset w/mic & when he got home Fri surprise him. He loved it, & just like i read on TURTLE BEACH site & here, it plugged right into the Jack on ARMED FORCES & after going into console settings. To adjust volume from tv to headset. HE was online PLAYING CALL OF DUTY. This was a great purchase at a great price. I also purchased the 2 year REPLACEMENT PLAN.
