    Bought this 6 months or more ago and my son has had zero issues with it. He’s not very hard on his stuff but he’s a typical teenager and leaves it on the couch or ground. It has been tossed around a bit. Comfort, clarity and has already lasted longer than other brands we have purchased him.

    Good audio quality. Very comfortable. Does the job. Poor durability. Aftert about 6 months with very limited use, the plastic band on the right side broke. Never dropped them. Never hit them against anything. I don't know how thats possible while only using them maybe 6-10 hours a week.

    This headset is definitely on the more inexpensive side of things, but it works well and sounds decent for the price. I have a habit of breaking these things, so I don't want to spend too much on any one pair, but these headphones have held up well over the last month, and I expect them to last at least a year. I mostly chose these headphones over the competitors because you can mute the mic by flipping up the plastic guard. It works well, and I am happy with the headphones.

    This set of headphones are fantastic for the price point. They have a great sound to them that immerses you into the game, music, or show you're watching. I had them on for over an hour and felt comfortable and didn't have any issues. The cushions were adequate and the fit/feel was great. I like the fact that I could easily hear low sounds, water dripping, high sharp sounds, and gun reloads all so clearly. I'm impressed with the sound and clarity as nothing sounded muffled or distorted. The flip up/down microphone is easy to use and smoothly operates when you need to use it. The mic picks up on your voice clearly and never distorts your audio. Overall the cushions are comfortable on your ear and feel good. The headphones are fairly lightweight and don't feel like you're carrying something heavy as you move around. The surround sound is great at this price point as it allows me to hear the audio move from channel to channel and move left to right. These are 3.5 mm audio jack headphones so they're very versatile. Can be used for any gaming system that uses the 3.5 mm audio jack. I also can use these with my mobile device and I love it. One set of headphones that can be used from gadget to gadget. Well worth the money on these. Can't go wrong.

    Turtle Beach has established itself as a frontrunner in the realm of gaming audio, and their headphones certainly reflect this status. The sound quality is exceptional, characterized by a remarkable clarity that is immediately apparent. The audio features vibrant highs and a well-balanced midrange, enhancing the clarity of voices and environmental sounds. Whether engaged in gaming, enjoying music, or viewing films, the immersive auditory experience is truly remarkable. The bass response is robust and resonant without being overpowering, which is essential for games that feature intense action or rich soundtracks. Another standout feature is the spatial audio, which allows for precise localization of sounds such as footsteps, gunfire, or ambient effects, providing a significant advantage in competitive scenarios. The construction quality is impressive, with plush ear cushions that ensure comfort during extended use. Additionally, the microphone offers clear communication, making it ideal for team-oriented games or conversations on platforms like Discord. In summary, Turtle Beach headphones represent an outstanding option for those seeking clear, dependable audio along with a variety of features suitable for both gaming and general listening. They are a valuable investment for anyone who prioritizes sound quality.

    These things are very comfortable to wear, the sound is great through game play and speech. Wore them during game play for a little over an hour or so... (2hours) ... playing Battlefield and GOW. Cord length is perfect to place controller down and jump on the mobile to send out a quick message. Looking forward to additional game play as time allows.

    TBRecon70 Headset For XBox1S hoping it works

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Well, I purchased a XBox One S and I needed a Headset with a Mic so I could talk and listen with other players that I play with on different games. I looked at several different Headphones and Headsets. I decided on the Turtle Beach Recon 70 Wired StereoGaming Headset for Xbox One. It Has a 3:5mm jack that just plugs right into the Controller. Plus the Actual Headphones look and feel very Comfortable and very padded. It has a built in Mic on the Headphone, when you flip it up it is suppose to mute your Voice. The price point seemed overall a good value between all of the other options between the top of the line and the bottom tier. So I went with the Middle Tier. Just for Full Disclose: I will say I still have not actually had the opportunity to use the headset and mic and talk with anyone or listen through the Headset. Before you go out and purchase anything I suggest go and do your research and compare all your choices and use any Rewards or Coupons or Vouchers. NEVER pay full price for anything if you don’t have to. Any remember this, if your Item is less than $100.00 please think twice before purchasing a Protection Plan that the Store is trying to sell you. 99% it is NOT worth it and a waste of your money.

    These are comfortable to wear and maintain good sound. Others can hear you clearly. Not as durable as other higher-end brands but as long as you care for them and not toss around, these should provide many hours of gaming pleasure for a reasonable price.

    This was affordable and durable for young kids. The directions to connect to tv was a little tuff but overall can be used with gaming system. Really good with labtop also. Thank god for offering a warranty because this kid is young. Price was very reasonable.

    Overall enjoying this headset, they are comfy and have great sound. I can wear them for hours and have my glasses on with hardly any pressure points on my head. The cons: I am not a fan of how you turn the mic on and off, have to reposition the mic up and down. Also when I want to charge my controller while playing and in a party, my friends say they can hear a static/high pitched noise. I am not sure if it is the headphones doing that or just my controller/Xbox. I had no problems with my last headset. For the cost of the headset I can put up with the minor things, just had to get in the habit of charging my controller when not in a party chat.

    Fairly comfortable, your ears will touch the drivers but the mic is amazingly good for the price. Edit: After having having them six months later I'm happy to say that the headphones still work just as the day they were opened. The only downside to these I would say is the fact that long gaming sessions tend to leave your ears and the top of your head with some pain as the padding on these are minimal ESPECIALLY on the headband! Other than that, great sound and an even better Mic make this a decent headphone for the pricepoint.

    For LESS than 50 dollars, I am amazed. The comfort, quality and ease of use is perfect. The flip up mic to mute comes in handy. Also, not spending too much on a headset also makes me happy. I will definatley re purchase this headset.

    I got this and the white/green color for both of my boys to use while playing fortnite and apex. The headset is comfortable and very adjustable. The flip to mute mice is a nice feature, just be sure to not flip it farther back than what the guide says or it can damage the mic. I wish they made the mic not be able to be pushed farther than the recommended setting so that "damage" concerns could be eliminated. The green accents fit the xbox color scheme nicely. The green cable is a nice added touch. They've reported no audio issues and their teammates can hear them clearly. These are plugged in directly to xbox wireless controllers in wireless mode (not connected to the console via USb.
