This headset is good enough if you’re not looking to spend a lot of money. They are not noise cancelling, don’t sit completely flush and don’t control any of the background noise. They don’t pick up a lot of smaller sounds too. I don’t like that the microphone is removable. Overall though, they pick up my voice well, they fit fine, the directional sound is good. Great for beginners!

i love em theyre light weight they sound great and affordable. ive tried a few different models and have found a consistent quality in all their gear. so if you want to chat and not give up any sound or you just want a great sound at a great price then pick up a set you wont be sorry

Fantastic sound quality and comfort for the price point. Only negative is the ear muffs make your ears hot after an hour of use. Other than that very reliable and the detachable microphone is useful when not chatting

I am currently using this headset on the PlayStation 4. The 3.5 mm jack plugs right into the controller, and I get great sound from my games. My friends say that my voice comes through loud and clear. They are comfortable to wear for extended gaming sessions, and the in-line muting and volume is nice for on the fly adjustments.
My only complaint is that the microphone boom is quite rigid, and doesn't really allow for much movement. But it is detachable if you want to use the headset for audio only. The plastic does feel a tad on the cheap side, but for $40 I'm not expecting top of the line build materials.
I would recommend this to a friend

I have always purchased the standard XBOX headset and have had to replace it several times due to it's poor quality and reliability - I've been through probably 5 sets. I never really wanted to pay more for a headset but this one was on sale for the same price as the standard XBOX headset so I thought I'd give it a go.
Initially I didn't like it but that was because I was unfamiliar with the settings. Once I realized I could control various volume and mic mix settings in the XBOX menu, I realized that this is a far superior headset to that of the standard XBOX one. On top of that, it has so far lasted twice as long as the standard one and it's still going.

I love how lightweight it is. I have another turtle beach wireless headset, but it's so heavy. The sound quality is great. I play multiplayer with friends. Game chatting has been great with this headphones. Definitely worth the price!

If you want stereo with large full ear cupping along with an optional (unpluggable) bendy mic, this will work. Short and sweet, you get what you pay for. Typical to low range of sound (response) but just fine for almost all applications. Mic picks up everything in the room with no established noise cancellation. No real low response (bass) but that is always expected via inexpensive headsets. It does it's job and has outlasted other sets (like Xbox Stereo Headset) in the same price range. Comfortable for a few hours.

Cheap and functional. I just needed a new headset that works, that I didn't have to spend too much on. This is exactly that. It will hold me until I'm ready to upgrade. It's comfortable. I just wish the volume had more range, but I have no real complaints.

I bought these headphones, so I could have an extra set. My kids like to watch Netflix on my One and they tend to leave my Xbox headphones laying around. I am comparing these the Xbox headphones. The TBs sound just a bit better and I can hear more sounds over the Xones. The comfort is much better and they allow for more air movement so your ears do not sweat. I paid $40 and I feel that was a great price for the quality of the product. If you are looking for a inexpensive alternative, look no further! You will need to purchase the headphone jack adapter for the Xbox one controller to use the TBs.

Great price point and I love the detachable mic, but it loses a star because the cord is a bit short. I needed a headphone extension cable to comfortably use it with my PC.

This item works really good ! For the price u can’t complain. Audio sounds better than just regular earphones and when not needed/ wanted you can remove the microphone.

These are comfortable and sound great for stereo and work well for chat. However, these were bought under duress when my son's PC gaming headset failed. The package says it works with PC and I should have been more skeptical since they are marked primarily as an Xbox One headset. I should have been more diligent before purchasing. When we got home and opened them their was only a single 3.5mm 4 pole connector. The instructions said for PC use I had to purchase a mic splitter adapter from Turtle Beach. So I did and the cost of cable with shipping plus the week wait was unacceptable. Hence one star off. Had I wrote this review as I was going thru this, I would have been less gracious. Also note, even though a xbox one headset, these do not plug into a legacy xbox one controller either. You need a newer xbox one controller with the 3.5mm jack or the headphone adapter allowing a legacy controller to use this xbox one headset. Minus another star. Again, this is imo a 5 star product with some caveats.

Purchased a green pair in addition to the blue ones. They are lightweight and offer good sound and comfort for the price paid. kudos to BB for their competitive prices.

Love this item because it is more than I expected for the price. I had a little trouble connecting the microphone but after a bit of struggle it worked pretty well. I can listen the overall sounds very nice so I can play any game having a great experience for a low price.

I didn’t have many expectations when I bought these headphones. I had dropped quite a bit of $ for my PC headphone/mic set, but I needed a quick set to play a game with my friends on the PS and I didn’t have time to research. For the cost, this product works fantastic. After about 4 hours I could feel the pinch, but they are comfy. The sound is good, the mic works good (according to my friends). Again, for the cost, this is a solid buy. Never heard of this company, but I’m a full supporter now. Quality for less $, yes please!

The Turtle Beach EAR FORCE Recon 50X is a great headset for the money. We all know the headsets that come with our console are of sub-par quality and definitely need an upgrade....especially when playing any FPS like Battlefield 1 or Call of Duty. The Ear Force Recon 50X is great headset that isn't going to break the bank. It doesn't have DTS or any higher end features like the Stealth 800's, but the sound is good and the headset is comfortable on the head. Plus with the boom style mic communicating with friends or teammates is easy and voice is clear...

Great headset with good audio as a low cost alternative. These have been tanks in my experience. I’ve used them often in the past with no issues for long periods of time and turtle beach has some of the best quality components for gaming. My son in law uses these and he loves them.
