Our take on the Recon 50 Headset

The Turtle Beach Recon 50 is a wired over-ear gaming headset with 40mm drivers, an in-line volume and mic-mute control, and a detachable high-sensitivity mic. It connects by a 3.5mm plug, so it works with Xbox and PlayStation controllers, PC, Mac and mobile devices, and it is surround sound ready on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Windows 10 PCs. It suits budget-minded players who want one headset across consoles and PC. Against pricier wireless rivals it gives up wireless freedom and richer audio, but owners rate it well for comfort and value.
