My son is the gamer in the family. The new Recon 200 Headset works with any Xbox, PS4, PC, Nintendo Switch, Android or iOS device with a headphone jack, so it works perfectly for us. He is always thrilled when he gets to review something that is perfect for his gaming habit!
We just upgraded to the Xbox One S, so he go to add a Turtle Beach sticker to his console, something he does as an initiation right whenever he gets new electronics:
This headset has amplified audio with Bass Boost. This works great for the serious gamer in the house, like my son, who is also a musician and listens to music all day long. His ears are better tuned to high quality sound, which is what the Turtle Beach Recon 200 has to offer.
The Turtle Beach Recon 200 gaming headset delivers high-quality game sound and crystal-clear chat through its superior 40mm speakers and high-sensitivity flip-to-mute mic. We have to have an up to date subscription to Xbox live so that my son is able to chat with his friends when they are playing video games. Here you can see he sometimes likes to chat so that his parents cannot hear him, but I just turn up my hearing aid!
The Recon 200’s lightweight design, metal-reinforced headband, and synthetic leather-wrapped memory foam cushions provide added durability and unmatched comfort. This is important for our kids, especially on rainy days when the homework is done and they are allowed to play video games for several hours. Some days it is OK to give in and let them play for a long time, and at least with this headset, he is comfortable!
A rechargeable battery that delivers over 12-hours of gaming per use helps my teenager and many others who often forget to charge their headsets. He can go several days with forgetting to charge these, and still be able to play for several hours over the course of several days.
Typical of most teenagers, my son is a gamer. He enjoys various games on his Xbox, from sports, to fighting games, to science fiction. He is lucky in that occasionally he gets to review different headsets, and he loves the way this one works. The features onboard controls for Master Volume, Variable Mic Monitoring so you can hear and adjust the volume of your voice inside the headset to avoid shouting at other players, and for selecting between Xbox One and PS4™.
Features:
POWERFUL AMPLIFIED AUDIO:
As parents it is best to not be in denial that our kids do not want to hear us, they only want to hear their game.
BASS BOOST:
The gamers can feel the bass with bass boost, another great feature! My son is a musician so he really appreciates the better bass!
SURROUND SOUND READY FOR XBOX ONE*:
40mm over-ear speakers produce crisp highs and thundering lows. I don’t love him playing war games, but this kind of affect is great for those games!
FLIP-UP MIC:
The mic has Turtle Beach’s renowned high-sensitivity so your voice is loud and clear, without yelling. As an apartment dweller with a limited number of rooms, that is a huge help for child and parent!
METAL-REINFORCED HEADBAND:
Turtle Beach, we thank-you! Parents of teens have too often seen their kids headsets fall right onto the floor, and we cannot afford new headsets every time they are dropped!
VARIABLE MIC MONITORING:
Our gaming system is in the living room, because we fear we may never see our teenage son if he has gaming access in his bedroom! Sometimes we are also hanging out and we would prefer not to hear him yelling into a mic, so this is perfect since he can adjust the volume of his voice inside the headset.
MULTIPLATFORM COMPATIBILITY:
These Turtle Beach headsets are designed for the Xbox One and PS4™, and also works great with Nintendo Switch™, PC, and mobile devices. We just upgraded from the Xbox One to the Xbox One S, so we are fully compatible, and may one day upgrade or add a PS4, so we do not need different headphones for each. That can be a big cost savings.
ALL-DAY BATTERY LIFE:
Generally my teen has to run out of power before he remembers to charge his headset. With Turtle Beach’s New Recon 200 Headset, he has 12 hours of charge to work with! Although he better not try to use it all in one sitting!
For more information visit Turtle Beach! And buy it right now on Amazon, this headset is at a great point, another one of my favorite things!
