Our take on the Turtle Beach Recon 50 Wired Gaming Headset for Xbox Series X|S & Xbox One, Black

The Recon 50 is Turtle Beach's entry-level wired headset: a 3.5mm plug, 40mm over-ear drivers, a removable boom mic and in-line volume and mute. It works on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, Switch, PC and mobile, so one headset covers several devices. It is light, folds flat and uses synthetic leather cushions, which suits long sessions and travel. Against pricier headsets it gives up wireless freedom, surround processing and metal build, but it covers the basics for chat and play.

  • BuildCriticisedThe plastic frame creaks and feels less sturdy than pricier headsets.
  • SetupPraisedThe 3.5mm plug works right away on Xbox and other devices with no setup.
  • MicrophoneMixedChat is clear, but the mic picks up room noise and is not broadcast quality.
  • Ear cushionsCriticisedThe synthetic leather gets warm and can flake after months of use.

Questions and answers

Does the Recon 50 work on Xbox Series X|S?
Yes. It plugs into the controller's 3.5mm jack and works on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. The same plug works on PS5, PS4, Switch, PC and mobile.
Is the microphone removable?
Yes. The omni-directional boom mic pulls out, so you can use the headset for music or movies without it.
Does it have surround sound?
No. It is a stereo headset; the listing's surround claim refers to spatial audio from the console, not built-in processing.
Can I mute and adjust volume on the headset?
Yes. The in-line controls on the cable handle master volume and mic mute.
How long is the cable?
The cable is about 4 feet (1.2m), which reaches a controller but may be short for a TV across the room.

The Recon 70 adds a flip-up mic and a slightly sturdier build. The Recon 50 is the simpler, lighter option if you only need basic chat and stereo sound.
