Our take on the Recon 70 Headset

The Recon 70 is Turtle Beach's entry-level wired gaming headset. It uses 40mm drivers, over-ear synthetic leather cushions and a flip-up high-sensitivity mic, and connects through a single 3.5mm plug that works with PlayStation, Xbox controllers, PC and mobile. It supports spatial audio formats such as Sony 3D Audio, Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X, though Atmos and DTS:X may need extra purchases or apps. It suits budget-minded players who want a light, simple headset for chat and everyday play rather than premium build or wireless freedom.
