Turtle Beach Recon 70 Review - Punching Above Its Weight (and Price!)

Turtle Beach made the Recon 70 gaming headset to compete with the impossibly large selection of budget headsets. With the Recon 70 selling for $39.99 MSRP, you also have a selection of colors to choose from. Regardless of color or theme, they all work the same. The Recon 70 is a passive (non-powered) gaming headset that uses a 3.5mm combo jack (TRRS) for sound and mic. That means it works well with phones (if you still have a headphone jack), tablets, controllers, computers etc.

I was surprised, and frankly happy, to see Turtle Beach invest where it counts. It's extremely durable, comfortable, and has a well-balanced sound. It has some bass, but it's not boomy or muddy. The highs are clear without being too bright or harsh. The headset is EQ'd to excel at foot steps, gunshots, and positional awareness.

TLDR: If you want a comfortable headset that still allows you to be competitive in a sound-sensitive environment, the Recon 70 is an affordable option that does not feel like a sacrifice.

I've found wired headsets are less expensive than they were before wireless became mainstream. I remember Turtle Beach headsets that were displayed with the demonstration bench costing more than they are today. Either I'm remembering wrong, but getting a pair of the Turtle Beaches was harder than it is today, especially the old-school wired headsets. Nowadays, the wireless headsets that they produce are around 100 USD retail. This is how much I remembered the wired headsets were back in the day and even costing more than 100.

Thanks for the review…this right now is the leader on my choice of headsets to get. The only concern is: is it loud enough? I’m slightly hard of hearing and I’ve found a lot of sets just don’t get loud enough for me. Any help would be appreciated.

With Dolby Atmos there's more than enough bass at least in Gears 5.

[kayawallace]

Hello! I just want to know what its like now. Did any of it break? Did anything stop working? Please I really want to know because a bunch of people are saying it's great but other people are saying it breaks easily. I don't want to buy it and it only works for 2 weeks.

[shaheerxbeats]

Will it work for next generation consoles as I am buying these and I do not want to upgrade again when I get the ps5

[patricklaurea]

I'm not really a gamer. Dose it work good in music? Android phone? Ipod touch?

[PlayJewel]

I got these, they used to sound good, then i got a sony oled tv, now they sound absolutely crap in comparison. Also they make my ears hot af, not sure if its the headphone or my ears. Got for 15usd, i felt like money wasted i cant use them they sound bad than tv and uncomfortable bcoz hot.

[randyescanuelas]

I just picked these up for 23 bucks, hopefully they’re good 👍
