Thanks for your honest review, seems like you know about the tech aspects of sound quality, also it was helpful that you compared it with different headsets from the same category. I'd like to see the Recon 200 Gen 2 review!

😍I had watched many review so I decided to buy this headset. I was a bit hesitant, but now that is arrived I am very positive about it. First its heavy you gonna feel it, but also comfortable at the same time?! Its mostly plastic but the structure very solid, no cracking or loose parts. I wish I could wear around my neck but I am too big. Never mind. The most worried I was about sound: everywhere I watched a review they said its bass heavy, so my first thing was to customize the EQ.
The sound blow me away! Before I had a 10 dollar earplug so its a big upgrade! I tried on Iphone was listening to songs and very good quality.
I say its a 8.5/10 very satisfied with it!

Thank you for this Review! I wanted to buy the Stereo Headset, and it was very hard to compare both Wireless and Stereo. Your Review gave me the confirmation to choose the Wirless, because of the Tuning. I will use that Tuning Video. Great Channel anyway!

Just got this headset and I'm very impressed. Sure there are better, more expensive ones out there but for the money its great. I got Dolby Atmos from the XBOX store and it sounds incredible. You can create custom EQ but I just use performance mode for directional sound. You need to increase the main volume in the XBOX sound menu as its set to 50% by default and the chat/sound effects balance to your taste then just toggle the volume with the ear cup while in game. Its also feels sturdy and comfy Happy gaming!

I’ve been eyeing these headsets for months, and you made me buy the recons without any second thoughts instead. Good stuff!

I have the wireless ones and they are great

10:20 The last generation of the Microsoft Stereo headset had the same issue with the gameplay coming through the microphone even when the headset volume is low and tv volume was off. It has to be some sort of design flaw.

I play apex/cod sent to the wireless headset and I hear footsteps fairly fine with them, better than the previous steel series I had before might I add

[wittmannger]

That tune video you mentioned is a literal life saver for the wireless one.

I have the wired set. I love it for gaming. The wireless set is far better for xbox gaming though just for the ability to EQ on console. That being said, these are worth it for 60 USD. Especially with windows sonic enabled.

8:42 anyone know the exact # for each thanks

[FortuneRayzor]

Honestly I think the feedback is just a TRRS thing. IIRC it's something to do with the common ground. It's simply just better to keep the stereo and mic signals (and their ground wires) completely separate.

[Itsjuztdrew]

Does this mic cause any echoing in partys? Just wanna make sure

[neoanderz]

Thank you for keeping it to the point.! No dramas

[djahjeband]

Nice video..I'm on the borderline for getting this headset!

[OddNoble]

Excellent review 👌
I got the turtle beach gen 2 max for Xbox, but I wanted to get a second headset just for the heck of it (because I like different sound profiles)…
So I got the RIG 800 Pro HX and love how loud it gets, but the mic makes you sound like your talking on a 15 year old cell phone… lol
Then the mic starting having issues with the mic monitoring, making me sound like a robot when hearing my own voice.
So I’m returning those to FoulMart tomorrow. 🙄
Might try these since they’re so cheap.
Seems like quality control with a lot of tech these days is out the window 🤨

Really appreciate the detail in your videos man. What chair are you using, can't quite make out the branding in the middle? Thanks

[itslennon]

Hey i got this new at a flea market for $26 is that good?

[RetroniOS]

I don't play on-line multiplayer games, I don't max out the volume. I have little kids I need to hear them if they cry when they are sleeping. And the 20th Anniversary Edition is very good looking. And I can use them with EVERYTHING.

Very helpful, are the recon 200’s good for rainbow six seige? 7:47
