Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great speakers, mic isn’t distorted or echoes, amazing bass. Fully adjustable, with its own volume, mic and noise cancellation switches on the headphones alone. I usually have Apple Music playing in the background of games and works great. Couldn’t ask for more.

I've owned TBs since college 2012s. This is by far the best headset I've used. I was worried about it being wireless and battery life but after watching reviews on it. There's nothing to worry about. The sound is amazing and the mic works perfectly. I recommend it especially for rainbow six siege.

They are comfortable and work as directed. It hasnt died on me yet so very good battery life. And on top of it all it was affordable.

These Turtle Beach RECON 200 (Gen 2) headphones are incredibly comfortable! They are replacing a 7+ year old pair of genuine Sony Silver Wired headphones that I've been using most weekends. Our normal gaming sessions last for about 5 hours on a Friday or Saturday night, and these new Turtle Beach headphones are so incredibly comfortable to wear. The memory foam ear cushions are covered in athletic fabric, and the foam itself is very soft and breathable. I would usually end up with hot ears and have to move my original headphones around to remain comfortable. I was able game for 5 hours without even thinking about the headphones. They memory foam also helps accommodate people who wear glasses, the pressure from the cups on the head is minimized, leaving them a lot more comfortable for glasses wearers. The padded grey headband also just rests on top of your head, and doesn't feel heavy or dig in at all. Sound was loud, clear and crisp, although, I did have a slight amount of really low level feedback in the background, and with the variable mic monitoring feature that these headphones have, I could hear my voice within my own ear cups when talking, which took some getting used to. But once leveled out with the independent game volume and voice volume controls incorporated into the ear cup, they were great. The sound was truly immersive, clear definition of sounds, explosions, footsteps, and according to my buddies, my voice was clean and crisp and they had no issues hearing me at all. This is absolutely key, as when you are strategizing, you don't want to have to keep repeating yourself, or interrupting. Everything was clear and crisp, both talking to my buddies and also hearing every word they said. You can also flip the mic up to mute, if you need to snack/drink/cough! These headphones also feature 'always on' Bass Boost, provided by the 12 hour battery life included in a single charge (that can also be charged while playing). I wouldn't say it was 'earthquaking rumble', but it was definitely present and sounded good. Overall, very happy with these lightweight, durable, and 'color co-ordinated with my PlayStation 5' (i.e. white) headphones! They are very comfortable, with clear sound, decent bass, good microphone pick up, easy of use controls on the ear cup to dial in your volumes (and even switch between XBox and PlayStation settings).

I recently picked up the Turtle Beach Recon 200 Gen 2 Powered Gaming Headset and it has completely exceeded my expectations! As a serious gamer, sound quality and comfort are huge priorities for me, and this headset delivers on both fronts at an impressive price point. Sound Quality: The audio performance on this headset is fantastic! The 40mm drivers provide clear, immersive sound, and the powerful audio delivers every detail in my games, from the subtlest footsteps to booming explosions. I play a lot of first-person shooters, and the surround sound effect is incredibly accurate, helping me pinpoint enemy positions with ease. Whether it's intense gaming sessions or just listening to music, the sound quality is top-notch. Comfort: What really sets the Recon 200 Gen 2 apart is its comfort. The ear cushions are soft and breathable, and the adjustable headband ensures a snug fit without feeling too tight. I’ve used it for hours at a time, and I never experience any discomfort, which is a big plus for long gaming sessions. It’s lightweight but still feels durable and solid. Microphone: The flip-to-mute microphone is a great feature. It’s crystal clear, and my friends in party chat have told me they can hear me perfectly, even in noisy environments. Plus, I can mute it easily by flipping it up, which is a nice, convenient touch. Design and Build: The sleek black design is stylish but also functional. The build quality feels premium, and the headset itself is surprisingly sturdy given the affordable price. The power boost via the built-in battery is a great touch, providing enhanced sound without needing an external power source, which is something I really appreciate. Compatibility: This headset is compatible across all major platforms—Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PS4, and Nintendo Switch. Whether I’m gaming on my Xbox or PlayStation, the headset works seamlessly, and setup is super easy. Value for Money: For the price, the Turtle Beach Recon 200 Gen 2 is an absolute steal. It punches way above its weight in terms of performance, comfort, and features. You won’t find a better headset at this price point that delivers this level of quality. Conclusion: If you’re looking for an affordable yet high-performing gaming headset, I highly recommend the Turtle Beach Recon 200 Gen 2. Whether you're a casual gamer or someone who spends hours in intense gaming sessions, this headset will meet your needs and more. Excellent sound, comfort, and performance—it's a winner!

Great headset, I like that I can use it with multiple devices. So far I have used it on my PS4 and my Nintendo Switch (I would guess you can use it with a PC too, however your pc may need one of those mic and headphones in one minijack, if not, you can buy an Y adapter). These are battery powered, however don't get confused, it doesn't mean they're wireless, as they still need a physical connection to your console of choice via the minijack cable (it connects to your PS4 controller audio minijack output, or the switches out minijack). It has a battery because, and this is my guess, it has some sort of DAC or power booster (it definitely has, as the sound is much more powerful than any passive headphones). So you have to make sure they are charged with the included USB type C cable (finally, type C usb is becoming the norm). The mic flips up or down (effectively muting or unmuting the mic), very convenient. Also, they memory foam is really good, when I'm not wearing my contacts and wearing glasses these were extremely comfy, so peeps with glasses, don't be afraid. Highly recommend them, these are a no frills very powerful gaming headphones!!

--- SETUP --- This wired headset needs no charging for use. Plug the headset into any 3.5mm jack and you’ll be listening to your audio in no time. --- FEATURES --- 40 mm speakers with rechargeable battery-powered bass boost, lightweight, ear-covering cushions, flip-to-mute mic, glasses-friendly, mic monitoring. --- PERFORMANCE --- As soon as I put on the headphones, my glasses-wearing self immediately appreciated the comfort. It is noticeable compared to headphones that don’t feature glasses-friendly comfort. I first tested this gaming headset with my PC on single-player games like the atmospheric Death’s Door (on Steam), and 12 Minutes (on Xbox GamePass). I listened to my games for about an hour without turning on the power and I was enjoying the games just ok. After my ears normalized the audio, I flipped the power switch. The switch features flipping up for PS or down for Xbox. As per the instruction manuals, when connected to a PC, it’s recommended you flip up for PS. The audio suddenly felt more full and louder. I had to lower the volume so that it wouldn’t be so loud. Definitely the best was to play, but if they run out of juice, you can still continue enjoying the audio sans the boost. I then plugged in my headphones to the Xbox Series X to enjoy co-op matches of Back 4 Blood with a friend. We joined a party and my friend didn’t notice any difference in hearing me, which was great. My normal headphones for the Xbox Series X are a wireless surround sound headset priced way higher than the Turtle Beach Recon 200. Before I played with him, I made sure to set the Xbox settings for optimal sound. The instruction manual tells you what to change in the sound menus (pictured in this review for easy reference). I enjoyed hearing every undead squeal as my friend and I mowed them down. --- EXPECTATIONS --- After 2 8ish hour sessions of multiplayer and a few 3 hour sessions of single player games, the headset felt comfortable on the head and while wearing glasses. The mic is more than capable of keeping up with my other higher end headsets and I like that even if I run out of battery for the bass boost, the sound is decent enough to enjoy. I love the control of the volume on the headset itself as well as the control of mic monitoring. --- APPROVAL --- If your significant other needs a new headset or you have a new gamer in the family, this is a great starting place that I would easily recommend to anyone.

I have used many headsets on my various Xbox models over the years. This is the 3rd from Turtle Beach. They continue to put out good gaming audio products. Pros: - My favorite feature is the mic monitor. None of my prior headsets had one and this was handy to be able to check if others can hear me ok or if my breathing could be heard. You never want to be the annoying person with a noisy mic in the party. - Sound was crisp and clear. Terrific audio quality for the price - This headset is compatible not just with Xbox models, but also the PS4, PS5, and can be used on PCs as well. - The headset is rechargeable, allowing for up to 10 hours of gaming at a time. - The feature to mute yourself simply by lifting the mic up and back is creative Cons: - My concerns all have to do with the USB-C charging cable and port. While the headset is rechargeable, the charging cable isn't long enough to conveniently play and charge at the same time. It's barely 2 feet long so expect to charge in between gaming sessions rather than during unless you have a USB port very close by. Another concern is that the USB-C connector doesn't fit neatly into the port on the headset. I have to use a little bit of force to get it plugged in. This doesn't impact functionality, but does seem like a minor design flaw. Overall, I'd encourage others to give this headset a look. It's affordable and performs as advertised. I'm a Turtle Beach fan.

Great headphones. Easy to use. Easy to setup. I charged them up plugged it in and I was all set. Used on my switch. Volume and mic controls are easy to use. Can run without power assistance. Volume is just low. Turn on for volume booster. Mic mute is neat. Just raise the boom and it mutes. Comfortable to use. This uses a different material. It feels more breathable but it does not seal out all ambient noise because it is porous. So make sure you know that before you buy it. Was very easy to wear. Battery use is pretty good. Played 5 straight hours and no problem. Tested using Dolby Atmos sound and it was pretty decent with surround sound capabilities. Cord came attached which is good and bad. Good you will never loose it. Bad that it might get in the way sometimes. Regardless. Based on my experience I would recommend this product.

I haven’t used a Turtle Beach headphones in a long time and I decided to try these and I wasn’t disappointed by the Recon 200 Gen 2. The headphones came in a simple no-fuss box with just the headphones (wired), a USB C charging cable, and the usual paperwork. The headphones have a simple design and seem to be constructed of mainly plastic with a steel piece running through the headband. I must point out that the headphones are very light and this might work out very well with wearing them for very long sessions (after a while I barely felt it, and I have a big head). The earcups of the headphones are very comfortable, they have somewhat of a mesh design and they are very breathable, they didn’t heat up much while wearing them for a couple hours. You can also stretch them out very far with no fear of them breaking, I tried this a few times and they felt fine and returned to their original default shape with no issues. The earcups can also rotate so that they can lay flat on a table. Next, we have the controls, which are all located on the lower third of the left earcup, and easy to use. You have a volume dial, a microphone volume dial, a switch that goes between the Playstation setting (shift it up), off setting (center) and the Xbox setting (shift down), USB-C port, then the 3.5mm cord( not detachable). On the outside of the left headphone, you also have a nonflexible mic (you cant extend it or bend it into your preferred position) that flips up for mute. When it comes to sound, I don’t have much to complain about here. I must first point out that to use the headphones they don’t need to be charged, but to get the console-specific sound profiles which include a boost to the bass, the headphones will need to be charged. According to Turtle Beach they should last about 12 hours, and I have used them on and off for the last two days for about 13 hours and they are still working, so I can confirm they beat the time suggested by Turtle beach. Eventually, when the batteries run out of juice the sound does change and sound less impactful but it doesn’t stop. The most noticeable change you will notice is that the Playstation setting, is clearly much louder than the off setting, but it is also louder than the Xbox setting. I’ve used this on a Playstation, a Switch, and on a PC, and across all of them, the sound was ok. I can say the gaming experience was definitely enhanced by using these headphones, not anything out of this world but definitely noticeable and it was appreciated. Also, the mic is pretty decent and I had no complaints from anyone who heard my voice through the Recon. My only serious gripe with the Recons is that the sound bleeds pretty badly. Even at low volumes, anyone nearby to you even in a not so quiet environment will be able to make out what you are listening to. Overall, the Turtle Beach Recons Gen 2’s, are a decent pair of budget headphones that are comfortable, durable, and would be greatly suited to gamers and anyone who doesn’t care too much about sound leakage.

Great headphones. Noise is reduced significantly. Comfortable and easy to use good battery life

These are the headphones i purchase everytime i buy a set. I have 5 kids, ages 7-19. We have 5 xboxes and multiple computers. We play video games a LOT. I would not be so niave as to say these are the “best on the market”, but they can be found everywhere and work on all the different systems we have (more than just xbox). There are settings that need to be used on the xbox as well as the headphones, and you do need to charge them. I get about 10-20 hours or so from a songle charge depending on how loud i have them turned up, and its the same cable as the controller uses to charge them. They could be a little more comfortable on the band over the head, but i don’t have a headache when i play for 5 hours or so on a Friday night with my friends. Dollar for dollar, these are easy to use, comfortable, and last about a year before they have issues. I keep buying them to replace old ones because other brands at this price do not produce a good quality product.

Perfect for what I needed. Gaming headset for my PS5. Its cool that it doesnt need powered on to hear audio so I dont have to use battery for listening to music or movies. Comfortable, and sounds good. My last Turtle Beach headset lasted me 8 years and the quality feels just as good if not better. I don't think you can get a better headset at this price point.

Good headset. Fits nice on my head and ears. Blocks out a decent amount of outside sound so i hear mostly or only game sounds/party chat. It does need to be charged, which i didnt realize when i got it, even though it is a wired headset. Guess it has some sort of powerful stuff inside that the controller battery isnt strong enough to power it. Lol But the battery life lasts quite long.

Quality sound. Comfortable. Speaker and mic adjustments on the side are convenient. Long battery life. Been using these for quite some time with no complaints.

I was surprised by how good the sound is , amazing battery life and the price is absolutely perfect, i ended up purchasing 2 more sets because of how good they are

Bought for my daughter who just started playing games. Works great for her. Good battery life, comfortable and good sound.

It works great, it does have a battery for that extra boost. And if not charges it still works but in regular settings. The sound sounds great I hook it to my phone at times when in bed to hear that theater sound.

Very pleased with these Turtle Beach headphones. The audio is amazing at this price point. Clear, detail, and very boomy with each explosion and gun shots. You could hear the dialogue just fine and the environment around you. It's worth buying these just for the 12 hour battery. My only complaint is the audio switch is a bit sensitive, just a little bump and the switch will turn back on. A few times after playing some PS4 I would set these down and the switch will turn back on and drain the battery. It could be my head set but I'm still happy with these. I would definitely get these they sound great..

These are being used on an Xbox Series X and they are great. The mic flips up for muting which means you don't have to try and toggle settings to mute yourself. The sound is great and there is even a Dolby Atmos app that I installed on the Xbox. When playing it resembles sounds as if they are really beside, behind and above you. They last 12 hours at a time so that is plenty in my opinion.
