Our take on the Turtle Beach Recon 70 Gaming Headset

The Recon 70 is Turtle Beach's entry-level wired gaming headset, built for consoles and PCs with a 3.5mm jack. It uses 40mm drivers, a flip-up mute microphone, and a lightweight over-ear frame with leatherette cushions. It is one of the cheapest ways into the Turtle Beach name, and its price sits at the low end of its recent range.
