Turtle Beach Recon 50X Review

[@labyplayz]

this thing lasted me 3 years, incredibly comfortable, very good mic and sound quality and survived multiple drops. cost me £15.

[@omairica]

aight W thanks for that cuz i js bought it forgetting to check reviews

[@RnG_Ry]

So I’ve had this headset for 6 years and use it heavily and never had an issue with them. Only thing I had to replace was the detachable Mic because I was eating a bowl of cereal with the headset on my head and the whole Mic got submerged in milk 🤣. (Amazon replacement detachable mic) But other than that, these are phenomenal, especially for the price. When spectating friends in Call of Duty who have Astro A50’s and other very expensive headsets, I help them with callouts/locations of footsteps and they say they couldn’t even hear the footsteps! So these have GREAT audio for COD and Rainbow Six Siege. One other flaw is that the fake leather begins to peel around around the earmuffs on the top cushion that sits on your head. 6 years going strong.

[@RnG_Ry]

I recently came into an issue last week with my Mic cutting in-and-out and couldn’t figure out the issue. I thought they finally broke and gave up on me but it was actually the controller mic port! WILD. Never bought any other gaming headphones because these do JUSTICE and why buy something more expensive if the cheaper version is just as good!

[@RnG_Ry]

Also, it’s VERY important to adjust audio settings on the headset chat mixer in your Xbox One settings when switching to different games to optimize the best audio settings for you or buy the turtle beach Audio mixer attachment

[@CHGadgetz]

This thing seems like a pretty good value for the price paid, plus the mic works good, good review.

I also own the headset and bought it for €15 from us in Media Markt (Elektro Markt in Germany). I previously had Teufel headsets and other headphones that cost over €100. The microphone on the Turtle Beach sounds better than most I've had, audio quality is good, maybe a little bass, but what can you expect for the money. I would recommend it at any time

[@nate2811]

Used a pair for ~4 years and one of the ears kind of just fell off. The inner part for adjustment snapped and couldn't really use them anymore.

[@Iceypatek]

When I first got these I was really surprised by the sound quality for the price, the bass is actually good too when compared to other headsets around the same price.

[@dustinbremer665]

I just bought these but couldn’t get game sound to come through, only chat. Any thoughts?

[@Iceypatek]

Hmm well that’s never happened to me but it could be your controller that has a faulty headphone jack because this headset is made for both game audio and party chat

[@Cataphract1236]

Hows the headset so far? I just bought it and I dont care much for sound, just durability and a mic

[@Iceypatek]

Po I’ve had them before and they lasted me a year but it was my fault because I left the aux on the floor and my relatives stepped on it but so far the new pair I ordered have been great the sound quality is amazing considering how cheap they are. Even my friends in the party chat noticed I got a new mic they said my voice sounds crystal clear, they compared it to the iPhone FaceTime audio which is pretty dam clear if you’ve ever used it. Ofc it’s plastic so you have to be extra careful with them but they’re great because they’re lighter than more expensive headsets but its more comfortable to play for longer periods. Noise cancellation isn’t the best when quiet but with the game and party chat you really can’t hear any outside noise. Overall I think they’re great for the price the only thing I find annoying is that the microphone is huge, it feels like I’m working at a fast food drive thru 😂

I have this headset. Totally worth every penny. So far, it's lasted over a year & it still works, although I have to maneuver it a bit to get audio from both sides. I'm honestly surprised it lasted this long. Planning on getting a new one cuz I LOVE THIS GAMING HEADSET SOO MUCH (Also cuz my current one is on its last legs when it comes to usefulness). Might get 2 of these instead of just 1 so that I'll have 1 for my Xbox One controller & the other for my phone.

[@bipinnambiar]

Windows has settings for limiting the microphone volume without affecting headphone volume. Though reducing headphone volume wouldn’t have solved the issue.

[@obi-wankenobi8927]

Any one know how to fix them if the mic keeps making tons of staticky noise over a voice call

[@rollingstoned5977]

Check your audio settings in your Xbox make sure the output is set to headset. And check the mic monitoring level it seems to make the little ring/static noise worse the higher the mic monitoring is up. It's usually set to half by default. You should notice a difference. I know it made a difference for me hope it helps!
