Muffles the outside sound i find myself shouting
The headphones I was pleasantly surprised, like in my short description they are good at blocking outside sound out so I tend to find myself shouting to hear myself. Not the products faul
Solid features, some comfort quirks
I recently purchased the Turtle Beach headset and overall, it’s a great budget-friendly option with some noteworthy features. The stereo sound is impressive, and the remote buttons for muting and volume control add convenience. The sound quality of both the microphone and headphones exceeded my expectations for the price. However, it’s worth mentioning that the cushioning at the top is on the smaller side. If you have longer ears, you might experience some irritation after wearing the headset for more extended periods or immediately after taking it off. Despite this comfort quirk, it’s a decent choice for those seeking good audio performance without breaking the bank.
Great value
In this range of price, this is one of the best products that I’ve had. The quality of mic and the speaker cushion is really good. It’s designed beautifully and it does the job. The only downside is that the cable isn’t long enough. But not a major issue.
The Turtle Beach Recon 50 headset offers a budget-friendly entry into gaming audio especially for kids, providing a decent mix of features for its price point. With its sleek design and comfortable fit, it’s a practical choice for gamers on a budget. Fits perfectly my sons small head. The lightweight build makes it suitable for extended gaming sessions without causing discomfort.
In terms of sound quality, the Recon 50 delivers decent audio. While it may not offer the highest fidelity compared to more premium options, it provides clear sound for both gaming and general media. The headset’s microphone also performs reasonably well, allowing for clear communication during multiplayer gaming. Added bonus is possibility of detaching mic.
Overall, the Turtle Beach Recon 50 headset presents an affordable entry point into gaming audio, offering decent sound quality and comfort, making it a suitable choice for casual gamers or those on a tight budget. My son loves it so fa
Needs new ones
Needed a new set of headphones as my Razer Kraken X broke on the headband [had them for 3 years] but The Turtlebeach Reacon 50P are just as good. I use them for my streams and I even hear the enemy Roadhog or Widowmaker behind
Headse
I ordered this headset for my Xbox and was very happy with it, has a great microphone for the price has easy to control buttons and has good sound quality 8/10 for me GREAT FOR ITS PRICE
I love i
I bought it as recently I bought a not very good headset, I was sceptical for the price, they came within 24 hours and I tested them straight away.
As soon as I put them on, they were comfortable, the sound quality was amazing and because I stream I obviously need a good mic with it, the mic quality is amazing too.
Would definitely recommend.
Twitch: itzdoppz
I purchased the version of these headphones designed for the Xbox One, and despite there being some doubts upon buying it because of the complaints about mostly the microphone, I haven’t experienced an issue, and I bought it in March (it is now July).
The audio quality is decent, you are able to hear people clearly and this ultimately means the headphones themselves are good. The jacks are durable and will not break easily, so that means if they stop working, you are more likely to have a flaw in the specific model or you’ve dropped it quite a lot or similar than it actually being a fault with the product as a whole. The microphone, does not have an echo, so that is fantastic for anyone who does not want one, which I would assume is most people since it is an inconvenience to everyone else you talk to.
This headset includes the mute for your microphone on the headset, as most headsets do, which is a useful feature and nice to have for quickly muting your microphone, especially if there is a disturbance nearby. It also has your general volume management wheel which is on most headsets as well, although it would be nice for it to be able to get louder in some circumstances.
Overall, this is a very solid headset, it is affordable, trustable, and you should not necessarily need to get a replacement quickly as it works just fine. Please ensure though that you do not drop, throw or anything of the sort to your headset, and then complain that it does not work or stopped working. The audio quality COULD be better, but it isn’t bad by any means, and this is a fairly cheap headset in comparison to others. So, fairly solid headset, I do recommend this one.
(FYI – I am not sure what the differences are for each headset meant for a specific console, please take this as a review for the Xbox One headset)
Because I play games on the Xbox every day for 10 hours+ (but I’m playing less nowadays) these headphones allow my gaming experience to be improved. The sound and audio quality is really good and the pick-up on the microphone in really great. Works a treat and would definitely recommend.
Great Headphones
I’ve had these before and they are pretty good.
The sound and mic are clear and ive no fault at all with them. The reason it gets 4* is because like all wired headphones they will eventually break after a few months.
* Good quality
* Cable is on the slightly shorter side but useable
* Does take a while to loosen up and fit your head comfortably
Great product, ive had these for years but my old ones recently broke so i was reordering!
They lasted me about 4-5 years and could have lasted longer if my childish self didnt feel the need to chew the cable at points. My problem is that the cable is pretty short, ive always had this problem with them but its still easily useable. My other problem is that theyre really tight on your head for the first day or 2, but they soon loosen a bit to fit your head. 9/10
Decent for kids
For the price, this is a decent headset for gaming.
They are colour-coded for different consoles but any colour can be used for any console with a 3.5mm/standard headphone connection; for example, my son uses the green one (marketed as Xbox) with his Nintendo Switch.
Great for the price
Great for the kids who go through em like anything.
Voice transmission is clear for others and in game sound is good too. For the price you can’t fault em.
Best quality cheap headse
Good little headset had one before lasted a good few years wearing most days before headphones started to wear so I bought a new pair.
Best Budget headse
Bought 3 of these over the years, one for myself, one for my mate and one for my girlfriend. By far the best headsets for the price, 100% recommend these.
When playing call of duty, with these in full blast I genuinely jumpnof a gunshot goes off next to me
Excellent.
Got these for my 12 year old son. He said they are great. Clear input and output and made his online gaming life totally brilliant. Happy customer.
Last well
My lad loves to rage quit and the first set lasted a good long time before I couldn’t repair them. They got slammed and threw and still worked until they didn’t. Worth the money and excellent quality

Good value
I previously bought this turtle beach headset a few years back, I was one of my best purchases I ever made. This headset previously lasted for a long time and only faulted because of an accident I did to it, nothing to do with product itself but my stupidity. These headphones feel comfortable and it really pairs well with my Xbox mic adapter, allowing for good quality sound from the players and game. My package arrived safely and works great. Overall I am happy with this product and would say it is good for its price and a safe purchase for people looking for a relatively cheap purchase.
Excelle
Not sure if it was a good idea getting a set of headphones my son loves it , but I have to live with his screeching, yes I have one happy child that can communicate with his friends on the Xbox and he said there the bes
Well worth the money
These headphones are worth every penny. The sound quality is brilliant not just for gaming but for movies and music if required. They are a sturdy hard wearing design capable of putting up with whatever gamers can conjure up. Happy with them and the price . Well recommend from myself . * * * * *
Dece
Absolutely brilliant headset.. no feedback or echo and works perfectly sounds great too. The only downside is it is ever so slightly tough on the top of the head, can cause a bit of pressure/soreness unless wore loosely. For the money I would give it 5 stars, taking money out of the equation I would give it a good 4.5 (I bought it in white for my series S and black for my series X)
Good value
Great value for the money, had a pair of these before and was very happy with them.
Unfortunately the new pair creak and click on the left so hence only 4 star.

Recommend!
Bought this for my son to use on his Xbox S and he loves it! Works great and no issues
My 10 year old son is very happy with i
One of my twins asked for this for Christmas and seems to love it. My only gripe is that sometimes when we call him for dinner he doesn’t hear us! Having said that, this particular child and me have spent the last 5 days in a room together isolating from the rest of the family and I’ve been able to work without any noise distraction (he has also been plugged into his laptop – doing some schoolwork at times I hasten to add!), the headphones seem comfy and work well, as long as he remembers to plug them into the laptop!!
Great cheap Headse
I think these are pretty good for the price. I do content creation on YouTube although the mic isn’t amazing it still holds up good. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND FOR ANYONE WHOS LOOKING FOR A CHEAP AND COMFORTABLE HEADSET
Turtle beach headse
Couldn’t be happier the price was very cheap and the quality is very hi I still feel like I underpaid very high quality speakers and the noise canceling is also good.
I have never had any complaints about my mic quality either .

Happy teenage
Son loves these, can talk with friends again after last headset gave up on him. And bonus I get to hear him rage louder than usual because he doesn’t realise how loud he’s being
Great Headphones
Family member really pleased with these headphones as they were the ones he requested for Xmas for gaming.
Great price for the quality.
Works great, once we found we could plug it into the controller!!
We’re new to the Xbox so took a few days to figure out that the headset plugs into the controller not the console like the Switch!
Lots apparently to learn. But this now works great and is compatible with the s series

Best Headset I have purchased!
I love the headset! It is comfortable to wear, has great speakers and a great Mic. It also is compatible for PC, Xbox and PlayStation. It is the greatest purchase I have made so far.
DURABLE GAMING HEADSET
My teenaged son has been hammering a pair of these on his PS4 for well over three years before he managed to develop an intermittent fault with the mic. We have replaced them with the same product. No complaints.
Son loved them
Bought as a gift for my son, he was very happy with them .still going strong unlike other brands have had previously
A solid purchase
Have been using it a my daily gaming headset for a month+ now, as I already have a microphone so haven’t used the mic at all. But for the audio the quality is great compare to the price that u pay for. As a buget it is a good starting point for trying out gaming headsets. And for parents that wants to buy for their kids its really durable even though its made out of plastic.

Headset is good
I like the headset bought this one a while back but broke it and decided to order again mic is great just wish it was built in the headset and everything works perfectly but I would recommend buying this if you have a small ish head I looked at it and put it on and felt and seemd really small but good product just wish it came in a decent and perfect particular size

Good... Not great.
The headset is good and works with clear sound. However every 5 to 10 mins there is a noise heard by the person on the receiving end.. The noise your Nokia used to make when a text was about to come through. Like some type of interference. Nothing around me and it still does it… Only fault really.. But would opt for different headset if I was looking to get another.
Brilliant quality of sound for the money
Have bought various headphones, including TB over the years. I bought these because of the name and price. Not dissapointed, excellent online experience.
Very good
These are great, works well with xbox series s. This is the second time we bought these as the first our kittens chewed the wire and could not hear anything. I definitely recommend these. A great produc

Happy Teenage
I can’t hear his friends or the droning music from his games. He can mute his mic so his friends can’t hear me! Sound quality is apparently excellent. All in all everyone is happy.
The best headset so fa
This was purchased for my 9yr old son who absolutely loves playing the xbox whilest chatting to his mates.
This is is 6th and hopefully final headset.
Once synced with xbox the sound quality is amazing and blocks any noise around youmeaning shouting dinner time is not an option!!!
My husband also uses thisperfect excuse not to listen!!!
Very good value
These are the first gaming headsets I’ve had, and seem very good quality for the price. Things worth noting are: make sure that you line up the raised line on the mic plug with the line on the headphones, as shown in the manual, when inserting it; if using with a PC, make sure that you get the computer’s mic settings right so that it uses the headset mic rather than the one on the PC; finally, it makes a surprising amount of difference to the sound quality if you make sure that you adjust them so that the ear cups are flat against your head and fully enclose your ears. The only downside with them is that if you need or like to sit at a distance from your device the cord might be a bit short.
Very happy with the quality of these especially considering the price
I’m very happy with these especially considering the price I paid for them. The sound quality is decent,they are comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Overall I would recommend others to buy some.
over all a good head se
fits well great sound and the mic is clear
only 4 stars as the lead is a bit short for a gaming head se
Nice little headsets for the money
Brilliant value for the money grandkids love them and as its the holidays that’s the main thing will definitely recommend to friends
Great sound, very comfortable!
I purchased this turtle beach headset for my son and he absolutely loves them. He said they aren’t too big, they are excellent for casual gaming and chatting and that they are very comfortable and well padded. I put them on and had a try and to be completely honest, he wasn’t wrong at all! And to top it off the sound quality is phenomenal. If you are a kick-back relax casual gamer/ hard core gamer it honestly doesn’t matter, I strongly recommend these headphones.
Very nice and blocks out a lot of outside noise
I bought this after my old Xbox headphones broke after years of use. i like the style of the headphones and like how the mic can come out so you can use them as normal headphones. very comfy as they go over my ears very well. even when you are not listening to anything a lot of outside noise gets blocked which is good if you are in somewhere with a lot of noise
Serves its purpose
This headset serves its purpose with a quite good quality sound too, the mic does sometimes cut out but with time this has actually got better, nice clear switch on the wire to mute/unmute.
Comfortable and good quality, not much more you can ask for for the price
Perfect...
Been a gamer for years these are perfect. No batteries required or charging they run from the power of the controller, you get game sound and speech.
Good cheap headse
They sound good but they feel pretty cheap and plasticy and flimsy but i guess because they are a cheap headset so they are good for what you’re paying.
Good quality for the price
This headset seems to be great quality for the price. I particularly like the plug in mic design. This means that the user can use a custom mic and prevents wiring getting twisted and broken by the mic being over-rotated. The sound quality is ok and the general feel is of good quality.
Superb high quality sound and product.
Superb sound and great comfort. I bought these to use with Microsoft’s Flight Simulator and they really bring the sound alive. Extremely pleased with these earphones and highly recommend them

Well done in making the headset slim and small in desig
The most thing I found liking about this headset is the design of it. I was looking for a gaming headset that is decent in performance, not very expensive and has a small factor for its body. This one I guess I can tick check all above. It worths 5 starts out 5 because it’s more slim than others plus it’s VERY good price. Definitely recommend it if you looking for the same things.
Good headphones Good VFM
Arrived as expected, good packaging and they work very well, for the price I paid, I am very happy with this.
Headse
My son absolutely love these. So easy to connect and use. Works brilliantly and sound quality very good.
Replacement HeadSe
My son wanted these as a replacement for another branded set. So far so good. He said good noise reduction and the mic works well.
Wow great headse
Brilliant made things so much clearer while gaming. Delivered by time stated. Will definitely purchase again.
Good sound, comfortable but mic leaves a bit to be desired
Pretty decent headphones. Mic gain is quite low though and the wire is way too short. Really comfortable though and the sound is pretty good.
Great product!
This works so well, clear sound and the mic is decent too! The best part is it matches my red controller! The volume is great and it’s an all round easy product to use! It works a good distance away from the Xbox.
Atmospheric and engrossing
Bought to use on my series x and it’s improved my online experience. I can chat with friends and hear the game perfectly. I’m totally engrossed!
Way better than I expected. Lightweight, foldable, adjustable even for my big head and thick glasses, good sound quality, decent mic (not great, but YGWYPF) and comfortable to wear for long periods. No discernible static or degradation of sound at high volumes. Would absolutely recommend for anyone needing a versatile headset for under 40. I use these with my phone, tablet, pc and ps4 and it does it all very well.
For 15 quid it’s brillia
Great product for the price, 15 for anything is cheap these days and this is a lot for the price. For the price of 3 pints you get a capable headset that allows you to play late into the night without annoying your neighbours or your other half. Sound is good. Mic is good. Comfort and fit is good. ( I’m 41 )
Only let down was the delivery packaging, it came in basically a brown Amazon paper bag. The actual item packaging was high quality as you would expect from turtle beach. However the delivery driver had taken care of the item and it was unscathed and in perfect condition and delivered on time.
Nice head phones
Very nice headphones only issue is if have big ears a little tight but doesn’t effect workability
Good headset but has a problem
The headset is great but when ever I disconnect it mid-game it doesn’t seem to work again after I plug it back in. It loses all game sound which is very annoying.
Great bargai
For the price, it cancels quite a lot of background noise. It’s very light through, which makes it not sit around the ears strongly.
Excellent product at a great price
Thought I’d snag myself a new headset, and spotted this deal.
Build quality is what you’d expect from Turtle Beach, as is the sound quality! Team mates noticed the difference immediately as did I!

Amazing quality. Great price.
Insane price for such a high quality headset. The builds quality is excellent and the sound quality is exceptional. I bought these for gaming and Zoom calls, but they’re so good I spend just as much time listen to music on them too. Would absoutly recommend, you’d be an fool not to buy this.

Suitable for PS4
Look good and comfortable to wear for a long time. Great value am very pleased with purchase
Excellent quality
Superb headset cant fault it. My son uses it on xbox one. He said its comfortable to wear for long periods and the sound quality is really clear both ways. Really happy with them and would buy them again for sure.
Excellent for the price
Excellent product at a very reasonable price. My son has gone through an immense amount of headsets during the recent lock downs. This is a very good product for the price, easy to use and set up, no complaints so far x
Outstanding Sound!
I bought this a while now and I recommend this headset 100%.
The Surround Sound is Incredible. It really feels like your there in the Game playing for Real.
Whatever your into Call of Duty, FIFA, Car Racing etc. You’ll not be disappointed. This is money well spent.
You need to try it to experience it.
Hope this is helpful, Philip, Stay Safe.
It's a gaming headse
I’ve had a pair for a couple of years, been fine. My 8 year old son however, is a totally different beast and rips through a pair of these a month.
That said, he gets through other wired headsets with equal vigour. Other than that, for adult or older kids, it’s tip top.
Excellent sound and value. Sturdy build quality.
Really great headset with longer microphone arm than other turtle beach headsets. Also the microphone is removable if you don’t want to use it all the time. Nice and light, very comfy and with great rounded sound and isolation. Very good value.

It’s okay
I mean I had it for 4 months and then it broke I mean if you are carful and don’t rage it will last you a long time but if your a bit crappy and gaming it will last you 5 months
Headphones with mic
Quality is very good and after long usage I don’t get sore ears which is a bonus Most headphones do
Great headse
The only thing I didn’t like about this headset was the microphone is very quiet even after adjusting setting to boost the sound, other than that I would recommend this headset, Its not overly expensive and it does the job very well

Good item for the price , had issues with mic but needed to do an update which fixed i
Holy smokes do my friends hear me now!!
Holy smokes do MY friends hear me now!! I haven’t tried these on strangers yet, but believe me when I say, that MY friends can all hear me now.
Only 4 stars because I only ended up here whilst trying to book a beachside get away.
Would recommend for the price
good headset very clear does the job for playing on console but i’ve noticed if i put my phone near the cable mic or volume control it creates a loud white noise for other people in the party
Best Christmas gift ever, according to my son!
bought this for Christmas for my son and it was a breeze to set up and get working with his XBox One. Happy gaming time!
Good quality
Good quality headphones, these were an exact 2nd purchase as 1st pair lasted the test of time but just got worn out. Would recommend.
Good value headset with a 1 year warranty
Bought for my daughter who finds them comfy and easy to wear.
Bear in mind these only costs 19.99 they work well with our Xbox Switch and PC.
They are NOT especially durable. The microphone stopped working after 3 months but customer service was excellent and they were replaced very quickly.
Conclusion
————-
Cost is low
Comfort is good
They come with a 1-year warranty
If you want something that you can be certain will last for longer, spend more and/or buy a different headset with a longer warranty
Very good price for known brand headse
Previously paid silly money for same brand of headset (160).
So these seemed a good deal for Christmas present.
Hope they last as well.
Great sound for the low cos
Not the most expensive headset but very good for online play and also plugging into a PC for remote chat.
Decent for the price
Decent set of headphones for the price. Good sound quality and a decent mic. You pay for what you get though so don’t expect the best of the best. Overall a good start up headset. Side note it can help with games like warzone for hearing footsteps, i would recommend setting the in game audio settings to boost mode
Comfortable, reasonable sound quality
PROS: very comfortable in use, particularly over the mono headset that came with the X-Box, immersive sound, blocks out background noise and the boom mic doesn’t droop. Adjustable sizing for adults and kids alike.
CONS: they isolate so well my kids can’t hear me talking to them when they’re using them. The cable seems prone to getting tangled.
Very good value.
If this review was useful, I’d be grateful if you clicked ‘Helpful’. Thank you
Great produc
I like a headset which fits all around the ear, i’ve had various ones before which aren’t big enough like astros which sat ontop of my ear rather than around it and they were really uncomfortable for long use! I had a P60 before but after years of use I needed a new one, so I got this for 20 GBP I was really happy! it’s perfect for PC use
Peace at last!
No longer can we hear the shouts and cries of our son’s fellow squad mates while they spend countless hours playing Fortnite! Peace has once more been restored to our household. Thank you turtle beach
(As a side note the headset itself is great value for money. We’ll made, good sound and I guess the microphone quality is good as I haven’t had any complaints? Didn’t want to spend a fortune with Xmas coming up so these ticked the box nicely. Would recommend to anyone else wishing for peace and quiet in their own home)
