Our take on the Turtle Beach Ear Force Recon 50X Gaming Headset

The Turtle Beach Ear Force Recon 50X is a wired stereo gaming headset built for Xbox One, with a 3.5mm jack that also works with PS4, PC and mobile. It uses 40mm drivers, synthetic leather ear cushions and a boom mic with a mute switch and inline volume control. It is a budget headset with no active noise cancellation, despite some listing language. At $24.99 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent price range, well below its usual $30 to $40 street price.
