    Budget friendly headset!!

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - February 10, 2024

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good value. Sound quality is about what you'd expect for the price. Not a fan of the microphone you have to plug it into the headset. Overall I would recommend it for a budget friendly option.

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

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - November 23, 2020

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

    Read an ACTUAL review lol

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - April 6, 2024

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Real Review!! I play the game on occasion somtimes I’ll play the game a few days in a row (not straight) but they’re solid fr I play Warzone a lot and it’s definitely helped out thtoughout the game. The mic is solid as well very clear on both ends, me and my homie got them together and I plan on using them til I can’t. Definitely get it and it’s a good price for a college student.

    Everything you need

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - February 9, 2018

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

    Good set of headphones

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - December 27, 2016

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a pretty good set of headphones. The fact that they are wired means you will never have to worry about running out of a charge when using them (however, it may drain the battery of your controller faster!). The only gripe I have is that when connecting this to my XBox controller, sometimes the sound doesn't come through. I end up having to disconnect the audio plug and reconnecting it a couple of times. Not a big issue, but still kind of a hassle when I just want to jump into a game quick. But anyhow, it is still a pretty good headset, and at the price I got it for (a fraction of the more expensive headsets), I feel pretty satisfied.

    Bang for your Buck

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - April 21, 2017

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay, so I had to get a new headset for my xbox one since my bose qc35 wire broke. I didn't want to spend much as my headphones were already $350. I went and got these for around $40. Quality is okay, but the results are exactly what i wanted. Sound is clear, controls and mic are great. Comfort wise it's also pretty good. I've had them for about 2 months without any issue. The cord is sturdy and overall I am happy. I'd recommend these for those who are price sensitive and want something reliable attached with a low price compared to other similar products. I do a lot of research before buying products and this one was the most reasonable for me.

    Good headset

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - June 6, 2016

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these for my 14 year old because the one that came with his X-box One died. We were looking for a better headset without spending a lot of money and bought them on sale to boot. He loves them. Can't say I love them, but it is not because it is not a good headset. Since they cover both ears, now he can't hear me when I am calling him, talking to him . . . makes it easy for him to tune out the phone ringing and other voices too well . . . like mine. If you have a teen, they will love them simply for that reason alone. I have to say, it does make it kind of fun for casually walking up behind him, scaring him and making him jump though. Ha!

    Surprisingly good and very reliable

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - July 20, 2018

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.
