    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.

    TBRecon70 Headset For XBox1S hoping it works

    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 headphones are exactly as advertised and I am very pleased with the price and the value-for-dollar. Microphone works well and folds away to turn it of and get out of the way. Sound blockage is not 100%, but it is a fairly good amount of external sound dampening, and is definitely reasonable for the price of the item. I'm especially glad that someone is still making headset with audio plugs so that I can use them with my older devices. I would definitely purchase again.

    I have used these for about 3 months now and I enjoy playing with them on. They are fairly comfortable (I used to have a 100 pair and these were actually more comfortable). I like the flip up on the mic so that you can mute yourself. The green color looks nice and is an added bonus.

    I gave the 700 Gen 1 a 5/5. The Gen 2 is an even better improvement from its predecessor. Comfort is better and I really like the hide-a-way mic that helps the headset be utilized as regular headphones.

    This is the third headset brand we have tried and so far so good. Kids don't complain of echo or mic not working, it has also survived the inevitable dropping as well. Very happy with this purchase.

    As stated in the title. It works good for a basic and cheap headset. They can get uncomfortable after an hour of gaming though and the mic has a habit of coming loose

    We had to replace a Turtle Beach Recon 50 head that my son told was broken (note: it was the controller jack that was bugged, not the headset). This was the same price we had paid for the Recon 50 so we upgraded on the exchange. He really likes the fact that the volume controls are mounted on the headset (as opposed inline along the cord on the Recon 50) and to mute the mic requires just a simple 90-degree flip. I'd say this is a good headset for the price.

    Nice headphones. Good sound, feel great on my ears which is good because I have a lot of piercings and that’s troubled me with previous headphones. I like how the mic is attached & can b muted by pushing it up towards the ears. Very happy
