I have had no problems with this headset. Works as described.
Love the sound quality of this headset I use for playstation 4 games, highly recommended
This is a brilliant product. Works on multi gaming platforms. Kids all love it… have had to re purchase. Successful buy for my aspi teens.
I upgraded my previous turtle beach headset to these and what an improvement! the sound quality is slightly better but the big improvement is in the microphone which is more handy that the previous models and the volume control which is discretely located on the left ear cover. My previous ones lasted me a couple of years and still counting but I will use these for zoom meetings 🙂
I use my headset every night when gaming, im delighted with it.
I got this headset for like 18 and its lasted me along time atleast 7months
Does the job and has a good mic, if you really play seriously then you will need an Astro headset to not be at a disadvantage though
I’ve had so many headphones which have been rubbish but finally, a pair that shut out all other noise and are fantastically clear. Wonderful. Amazing. Buy them.
I already have one professional headphones for 100+ pounds and this one I buy just to use microphone during online class. So I didn’t expect too much. So I used it 2 days and what I can say:
1. there is noise cancellation and my students confirmed it
2. size of headphones not that big and don’t cover my ears completely
3. music quality is good but not perfect (well it’s only 25 pounds guys)
4. mic is working fine with windows plug and play
5. not sure about plastic looks a bit cheap but I hope it would be fine in general
overall – good headphones but not perfect, for it’s price is ok!
This headset works a treat and is of great value.
Both my son (10 years) and I use it, so it suits children and adults alike. The cord is long enough and the fitting is quite comfortable.
My only criticism is that the volume control on the headset is limited. On some occasions, I think the volume on the Xbox is a little too low for my liking.
Having said that, this is great value and we are very happy with i
Bought this product for a Christmas present..My son also has the same headset..On both headsets the microphone has broke..If you want to putthe microphone up against the headset it starts to loosen the screw inside that holds it to the headset..You can’t then screw the arm of the microphone back on as you can’t get inside the headset leaving them useless.
am also unable to get in touch with the sellers to return this headset is not cheap..Not happy
ABSOLUTELY A GREAT PRODUCT!! I was a little bit sceptical looking @ the reviews but it’s a great headset, if you take care with it it hasn’t snapped or broken. The volume isn’t as loud as others but you know “c’est la vie”
I bought this to just play online with friends and it’s kept me going for ages I get a lot of use out of them and they still work just great. I’ve literally just bought the Arctis 7x which are much more expensive, but the Recon 70X we’re good and worked just fine on PS, Xbox, Switch and in work calls. The sound quality isn’t bad, fine for this price range, however if you want to get more immersive audio for this new generation of consoles then you’ll definitely want to look at the more expensive options
Brought these headphones as a like for like replacement. The previous pair developed a fault with the microphone but we had had them several years and they had served us well. Very comfortable to wear and good sound quality for the price paid. I would recommend.
Worth getting for any teenager. Works really well sound quality is fantastic
Also just plugs straight to xbox one s pad without an adapter.
I order a pair and the Mike was broke but I got in touch with them they offered me a refund or a replacement I got a replacement sent the old ones back was so easy no faffing and waiting about and the new ones work amazing my boyfriend loves them
Very happy for the price I paid, I’m gaming fine with these, no problems at all, make sure u have setting on your Xbox correct an these are clear enough for people to understand u, an u can hear people clea
I bought these for my son for his birthday.
It was his first pair of headphones and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality, considering there are more expensive headphones on the market which don’t (in my opinion) sound as good.
Needless to say my son is happy and if he is, so am I!
Great price got these in tead of ps4 ones after they kept busting ,these are way better and last way longer ,why spend so much on genuine when these work grea
I have been using turtle beach for 1 year now. And i decided to get the same headset after 70 recon. My old one still works but not as great however the price is worth it for 1 whole year. Recommended for sure
Likes: light weight, easy to use plug and play, great sound quality
Dislike: mic comes through a little quiet at times need the mute and unmute to resolve
Other than that feels great doesn’t feel like scratchy cheap plastic which is nice plenty of cord from controller to head my struggle for pc use though
Hope was helpful
Thanks
I originally gave these a 5 star rating, but have changed in down to a 4 star as they have stopped working after 9 months. I contacted amazon who sent out a replacement for the product and i have a happy 10 year old again.
I bought some more expensive headsets and had to return them for their faults.
This product was nowhere near the price and completely trumphs the more expensive headsets I purchased.
Great quality
Mic that adjusts to veritcal and horizontal perfectly.
Comfortable to wear for multiple hours and sound quality is great !
Can not recommend enough, have had for nearly 5 months now
There good for the price just wish they was a bit loude
Put simply, a cheap end of a good manufacturer. They do the job well, but you can see where the money has been saved.
I worry about plastic parts breaking, but so far it has endured the kids.
Happy for now!
Very easy to use. The mute system did catch me off gaurd though bu you have to move the mic up into the offline position or mute position, it’s a very durable mic and it sensitive to sound so it can hear you easily and sometimes ur surroundings. The wites are firmly put into the mic and not easily pulled out and broken as I have multiple times accidently stood in the wire and pulled my headset and it has flung back down to the floor but the wires are still intact!
Work well these, look cool and sound decent enough for the price for games and music.
These were good for the price I got the green camo ones the volume is on the rear of the left earpiece, although I had turtle beach ones before meant i could use the xbox controller adapter that came with the last headphones for the volume
Bought these for my boyfriend and he was pleasantly surprised with how good these are. They are great value for money and are very easy to just plug in and use. He said that the sound is clear and they are very comfortable to wear.
My sons are 8 and 12 and these headphones fit them both perfectly and are lightweight enough to be comfortable but solid enough to withstand some of the “uncareful” that tends to come with 8 and 12 year old boys! They mainly wanted to use them to plug directly into the PS4 controller to be able to listen/talk on games and this single Jack Audio works well. It is also useful on a laptop with a single headphone socket as when plugged into that area the mic works too so great for Zoom/Skype etc…whereas on my desktop computer there is a separate headphone (green) and mic (pink) socket so these heaphones would then need a splitter.
These sit over my ears, not on them, which is much more comfortable. Other headphones I have had hurt my ears after a long time wearing, but these don’t. A volume control on the earpiece means I can adjust the loudness separate to the tv when I am gaming. A great buy!
For thebprice it’s a good value. Works fine with any 3.5m jack device
Glad to see the Mic Monitoring works on my XBOX
The sound is good , the max volume is not the highest, the base is not that deep. Not the most comfortable to wear for hours but maybe it’s me who have large ears . But again it can’t be compared with other 50+ headsets.
The sound is god quality you can flip up the mic to be silent you have to adjust the sound settings on you computer which can be tricky it comes with a quick set up guide eventhough the ear pieces are well padded it does tend to make your ears ache after wearing for 2+ hours it would be nice to have more colour options
Got this for my kid. His first set of gaming headphones and he loves them. I haven’t really used them but from the small amount of use they seem decent for the price.
They must be comfortable because he wouldn’t take them off if I didn’t make him see sun light like the horrible parent that I am.
Got this for my son who is always wanting to speak with his friends on Xbox, I have had no complaints regards any issues and all his friends have said they can hear him clearly.
Overall I am very happy with this headset.
My son has had several headsets but this is the first one hes had no issues with. Previous headsets have stopped working or only worked intermittently but have had these for 4 months and not 1 problem. They look great too with his white ps.
Great sound for a great price. Good volume, bass and treble although I recommend enhancing with the audio plus attachment. Cable perfect length and because it plugs into the controller does not interfere with gaming making a more expensive wireless version almost pointless?
Pros: Good for on a budget
Works great on series S|X
Block out a good amount external noise
Can hear noises you wouldn’t normally hear on standard speakers
Cons: Can become a little uncomfortable after prolonged use
Not a great deal of bass
Edit: 8 months on and still in as new condition and fully operational.
If your looking at the negative reviews and are being put of by them please remember these may be people who don’t look after things or have received a faulty set but didn’t return them.
I’m Not saying these will last forever but I don’t abuse them by yanking the wire or throwing them across the room because I got shot or lost a race however I look after mine and 8 months on I I could put them back in the box and sell them as if they were new.
I love it have bad hearing and best headset I’ve ever had…. but the volume scrolls up and down if rubs against clothing…. A cover over it or move it to the side would be better…. I put a bit of tape over i
Extremely pleased with these after my old ones broke. Light, don’t hurt my ears after hours of gaming and volume is just right. Only issue is that they don’t work with my old turtle beach volume controller which goes into the bottom of my xbox controller so can’t use that anymore.
Very good product for cheap price! Prepare to be isolated from the rest of the world while having this headset on! Adjustable to perfection (I’ve a tiny head :)) and cover widely your ears, even if you’ve big ones like me!
Good material, foldability and mic’s power!
Only two cons: you need to manually rotate back the mic if you’d like to mute yourself (I knew it before buying it though) instead of having a button as the Turtle Beach Recon 50P that I previously had. This is a bit complicated while playing, while for the volume regulator even if is at the back, next to the mic, this it’s not too hard to be used.
The other thing I don’t personally like is that after a while your ears will be very warm.
Do what they say they do.
Also not just for gaming, good all round headphones for music and watching movies.
These are just a few of things Miley (my dog) said about them. She was disappointed that they didn’t taste better and there wasn’t a picture of a dog on them.
*Disclaimer*
No dogs where harmed or in distress in the making of this review. Plenty of treats where given and several kisses and hugs.
Brilliant headset, bought for my son to play with Xbox and works a treat. He’s over the moon with them, would definitely purchase again. Great service from Amazon as usual, thank you !
First set of gaming headphones purchased, which are for Warzone on the Xbox. I was struggling in multiplayer with my friends where I could hear them, but they couldn’t hear me. Just go into options and audio tab, then scroll down to ‘Mic’ settings and turn them both up to full whack…job sorted.
I was getting fed up with buying cheap headphones that my son manages to break somehow. He’s very good with his stuff, and isn’t heavy handed, but I bought 4 sets last year alone. These were not much more expensive than the generic brand ones, but being Turtle Beach, they are a cut above. Very nice quality, and extremely good sound and mic response. I’ll update the review if they break or go faulty, but so far these are the best we’ve ever had.
While these haven’t been here too long, I can say that this headset has so far stood up to the abuse that my son has given it so far, it’s been dropped, kicked (accidentally) and genuinely mistreated despite my protestations, but still they continue to work great.
The sound quality isn’t biblical, but for the price point they represent excellent value for money
HONEST REVIEW: This is a tidy headset for the price that it is currently at. The sound quality is good and my friends could hear me well on our PS4 party chat. There is great comfort and adjustability of the headphones and the long story short is that these headphones get the job done!
However, there is little to no surround sound unless you really increase the volume and even at that it is still mediocre and at that volume it will just end up damaging your ears over time. At the same time though, you have to remember that this is a pair of headphones on the cheaper side of things so if you’re willing to compromise surround sound for just a regular sound then this is a great purchase for you but if you need that surround sound that blocks you out of the world and gives you that immersive experience when playing…then there are probably better products on the market.
Bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas. The headphones are sturdy and comfortable. Can easily move the mic out of the way. Handy volume controller on the headset. The sound is great, far better than expected. I’ve even decided to buy a pair for myself!
found these to be brilliant , didn’t think they were as good as my last pair but once i done my settings on the xbox , they were perfect and they sound great , can hear footsteps , gunfire , every sound you’d want to . the chat function is very clear and i’m quite impressed at this price poi
I got for my daughter to play with family and friends online under the situation. The mic is clear enough and the sound quality is ok for the price. My daughter says the headset is comfortable. There is a bit of a premium for it being a gaming headset though compared to buying a generic headset.
I bought these for my boyfriend, by a recommendation from my brother. My brother has had these for well over a year now and uses them almost every night to game with his friends.
Once my boyfriend plugged them in, his friends were amazed at the clarity. They are comfortable and they can be adjusted.
Bought two of these headsets for my sons as stocking fillers and neither were disappointed. Turtle Beach is a brand I know to trust and these budget friendly headsets are perfect for my boys and their online gaming. They do everything they’re supposed to, the sound quality is decent and there’s a good level of noise cancellation. I’d recommend these to anyone.
I had this now since October (it’s December now) for three months, it’s exceptionally comfortable, 6 hour gaming sessions and I do not get tired of wearing it so that’s great (if like me you’re used to terrible cheap ebay headsets) , my friends say the audio from the mic is pretty good, and the surround audio from the headset is pretty good, the only weakness is that I use a PowerA spectrum wired controller and some games really make the mic make weird noises, but with standard wireless headsets it’s perfectly good, would buy again, no problems with connectivity and has not broke
Bought this as a spare headset whilst I waited for a replacement bluetooth headset and for if either my headset or my girlfriends needs charging and for 25 quid you cant really go wrong. The comfort is the only thing I can knock and the only reason it didnt get 5 stars but for such a small price tag and when its used as a spare its not much of a concern to me, I would like to add my head is on the larger size so that is the reason for the discomfort I imagine.
Headset is a good standard for the price paid. Decent sound and a good quality mic overall. However, when the volume is the highest possible level, one hear tends to cut out and doesn’t provide any sound which is disappointing. This isn’t too much of a problem it just means I have to use it at a lower volume. Another problem I’ve had is that according to other people listening to my mic, it creates a faint buzzing noises. This is a problem for many mics at this price range and personally I don’t find it too problematic. But overall, good headset and is definitely a great option for people wanting to spend under 30!
I was a little skeptical as view differ about compatibility with Nintendo Switch and Fortnite. I checked the manufacturer website and helpful guide and went ahead and purchase and there was no problem what so ever. My son was straight back on the game giving orders. It will work with Nintendo Switch and Fortnite and you just need to read the guidance on settings if you have difficulties. Product quality looks fine but time will tell.
These were for my son and having tried them on myself I know that they are very comfortable to wear.
My son has had problems with other headphones with a mic before and constantly broke them but with this one the mic pulls back to the ear meaning he doesnt need it out all the time.
The sound quality from the mic and headphones and really good too.
Would defo recommend to anyone.
Been using these in my pc for my work meetings during lockdown. When working can’t fault them however they’ve started to suffer the dreaded issue of one headphone cutting out if the wire is a certain way after 5 months. For me, that’s fine it was just a cheap solution, however these are sat on my desk all the time not being abused and this happened within 5 months, I can’t imagine then, that they would last long in a child/teens room when theyre putting them on and off playing games
Arrive surprisingly quickly, next day to be exact. These are a quality set of headphones that belie their price point. Really great quality sound with volume control on left headphone, and rotating mike lance that can be tucked away when not in use or required
I would highly recommend these phones and the service was really quick too.
My grandson has a habit of destroying most of the default headphones that have come with the consoles so we wanted something a little robust but not so cheap as to be of bad quality. This headset came recommended and I can say that it seems to have worked. It’s robust, the cable is of a decent quality and his voice comes over clearly when in a game with him. He reports that they are comfortable over an hour of constant wear and this is all we can ask. Obviously the plastic of the covering is a little cheap but, for the money, these are a good value headset and so far have survived my grandso
I don’t understand why there weren’t pairing instructions in the box; I had to find a YouTube video to help me.
It’s like what they say you get what you pay for the money you pay they work great compared to my last headset I found it not so good on enemy’s sneaking up on u. Or more precise position on them.comfort wise pretty good spent 5hrs straight and didn’t find it annoying me. As far as the mic goes the small plastic arm on it is a clever idea as a simple push up and turns it off but to shot to reach the mouth so you find yourself shouting louder, for the money it does the job good
The short mic,and sound quality is small let down even the fact that it’s not as loud as my previous one ,,but I would definitely think about looking out for better model next soon I think ,,hope this helps you all .
When I was in search of a new headset, Turtle Beach came to mind quickly as I had previously had one of their headsets.
With the budget in mind, this headset had fit in perfectly, so I bought one quickly as I had just broken my previous headset.
When it had arrived, I was surprised by the small factor of the headset, not disappointed, just surprised. Even though the headphones fit perfectly, they are still small compared to the other headsets I’ve owned.(might want to look out for that)
After a few months of usage though, they still work amazing and I’ve had no problems with them so far.
I fully recommend these headphones with anyone who has a small budget in mind.
The downside is my husband has turned into an absolute fog horn!!! I have no idea why but he looses the ability to talk like a normal person when wearing these. He has to shout, extremely loud, so loud that the neighbours can hear. He assured me the headphones were not broken and it’s just him. He’s broken, If id bought him off amazon I’d 100% be requesting a refund.
Me and the neighbours have all come to learn that he is a terrible fifa player and swears a lot.
I hope this helps
Good sound quality and mic works well. Would be useful to have a toggle near the controller for turning mute on and off. Surprisingly good noise isolation as I can’t really hear what it going on in the house when I’m playing with game audio through the headphones. Makes a huge difference for games like PUBG or COD where you need to have spatial audio to workout which direction a noise is coming from.
The headset is comfy but they do feel plasticy, at the moment they feel durable, but this is expected from Turtle Beach!
The cable of the headset is a silicone/plasticy design and there are 2 cables hanging from the headset sides whete you extend or close the headset sides which could be an issue. Futhermore the headset it great for gaming! I use them for my PS4 to chat with people and I have asked everyone of the quality of the mic and they have said that the quality is amazing and some have said they sound like an expensive mic/headset.
The mic also have a mute feature, but to do this you have to move the mic all the way back (you can see the image/instructions on how to mute the mic)
Overall these are amazing for the price range!
Not too bad at all.
These Turtle Beach Headphones come in at a blooming good price and look and feel great. The quality of the unit itself is super and they are nice to wear.
I would say that the sound quality is a solid 5 or 6 out of 10. Honestly nobody will say they are great because they simply are not. Especially if you are listening to music or have a film on… but for call of duty they are perfectly fine.
If you want a good looking and comfortable headset then these are great.
Want quality sound then look elsewhere.
Regards to the microphone. I found my recordings to be much clearer and crisper than they were with my previous headset. I’m not the loudest speaker and the microphone has no problems picking me up. It is also great when gaming on my PS4.
The sound in the earphones is also fantastic. When platjng Fortnite I could hear everything far more clearly than my other headphones. For anyone having issues connecting to the PS4. It’s not.plug and play. You have to go into settings and devices to set it up.
But yes…very pleased with my purchase. My recordings are far better than they were before.
Update:
I’m now coming to the end of April and they’re still working brilliantly. They are well made, with great sound. I use them a lot, because of recording for my channel. I think they’re amazing quality, given the price. I even have them tagged in my video descriptions and recommend them to anyone looking for a good headset that want break the bank.
urtle beach headphones all have a good rep. I purchased these ones for the value for money and I have a younger brother who games online none stop and he suggested this pair. Been using them for a month and there really good especially since you can use them late night and turn the sound of the tv to keep the neighbours happy. sounds good, comfy pair and sturdy too. also the mic doesn’t detach so you don’t end up losing it lol
Does everything you want from a gaming headset. The mic is clear and well positioned (the lift-up-to-mute functionality is a nice touch), ideal for screaming about the spawn-camper that’s killed you a dozen times in a row.
The headphones themselves are a little tighter than I generally like, but I hav quite a large head, so that’s more on me. Sound quality is good, and they block a fair amount of external noise too, reallyletting you hear what those teenagers online are saying about your parentage and skills at the current game.
Bought these for my grandson who is an avid gamer on both Xbox and Playstation. His feedback on these is the sound is crystal clear and volume fantastic. He says the microphone is excellent also and really clear, however, the product loses a star because it has no mute button. Other than that, he says they look really smart and is over the moon and at 26, so am I … highly recommend, buy with confidence.
In short, for the money, this is great value.
