Doesn't fit on average for big heads

My head is by no means huge but even making it that big the padding on the top digs into my scalp and even removes hair. If you have a very small head I would strongly advise against it.

Pros
  • understandable for old people too
Cons
  • Not automatic

Excellent quality microphone, works well with headsets

The sound from the microphone is very clear, nothing I've ever used before, almost studio. The only thing is it's a little touchy, like everyone can hear me chew and swallow lol. You can easily mute the audio with a touch, but yes, a great mic.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • unreliable

Very soft ear cushions caused no problems during long hours of gaming

I bought this headset to play on my Xbox and Playstation multiplatform computers. I say it's the best Turtle Beach headset I've ever worn off the head. The sound quality is very good, the microphone picks up my voice very well and my favorite aspect of the headset is the very soft ear pads that I hardly feel on my head. If I was going to file a complaint I would wish they had an audible indicator when you hit the mute button. I would highly recommend this headset to any gamer who has multiple…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Negative experience

Forget all other brands, that's it!

I had Turtle Beach Top Line and loved it. Didn't want to spend money this time, but it was worth it. I recently got into stadium games where full audio is played from there via a 3.5mm controller. I wanted to switch to another brand so I bought a StealSeries Artic 5. I didn't fall in love with Lin. i hated her Loud it was loud, but footsteps, soft sounds did not sound clearly. weak af so i returned them. When I bought the Turtle Beach Recon 500, I immediately realized that just by buying the…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions

Not recommended for PS4

it's not that loud , how it should be. They work, but if you want the headset to pick up all the sound so you can hear you, you'll need to turn the volume all the way up on both the PlayStation and the headset. Maybe it's the one I got specifically, or maybe it's not fully utilized for PS4 like it's for all other systems. I've looked at other reviews and anyone playing on Xbox/PS5/PC seems to have no problem taking full advantage of these headphones. Everything else about it is amazing, even…

Pros
  • MULTIPLATFORM COMPATIBILITY - Works great with your favorite Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch consoles, controllers, mobile devices and other devices with a standard 3.5mm jack
Cons
  • crumpled
