I. Love. This.
I had a Turtle Beach headset for my PS3 but when I upgraded to a PS4 I could no longer use them. Since Turtle Beach have a tendency to be rather pricey I started purchasing off brand headsets to just get by. Overall I purchased 4 headsets that were between $20-$30 and they all had their flaws that were not acceptable. I additionally have a rather small head and it is very difficult to find a headset that doesn't actually cover my jaw when on the smallest size.
I waited for a long time to finally take the plunge and get another Turtle Beach headset. I came across the Recon 200 because it was "on sale." Still rather pricey, but honestly very much worth it.
This headset can easily be used for the XBox One or the PS4(Pro). There is a switch on the side of the headset that can be flipped up for PS4 option, middle for off, and down for XBox One option. The headset does need to charge, but I haven't experienced a moment where it ran out of juice while I was playing. I typically play 4-5 hours at a time (I have a hard time stopping once I start, RDRII though amirite?) and usually just charge my headset after a couple times playing. I just put my PS4 into sleep mode to charge my headset if I am not watching something and it charges just fine. It is crucial to remember to switch the headset OFF when not in use otherwise the battery will continue to drain.
Pros:
- It fits my small head (I do not know the max size so I cannot speak on that)
- The sound quality is outstanding
There are many games that I haven't gotten the full sound effects developers have put into the game because TVs and some headsets just don't pick up or full express the sounds. Mosquitoes, bird calls, shouts in a distance, footsteps; this headset picks them all up.
- Comfortable
Like I said earlier, I play usually 4-5 hours and do not get tired of wearing them.
- Good quality Mic
I especially like the flip up to mute option
- One of the more light weight headsets
Cons:
- The Mic, while good, picks up pretty much everything; from distance background sounds to my cat purring while in my lap.
- Not noise canceling or blocking or isolation, or anything like that. The only blocking it is has simply that there is something covering the ears themselves.
Additionally, the mic plays back through the headset. This means any background noise the mic picks up is played right into the headset. DISCLOSURE: I haven't messed with the system settings so this could might be able to be fixed by some adjustments.
- Price
Honestly, it's isn't that bad of a price for someone really into getting the full experience of a game. It's completely worth the money.

Lifelong gamer.Best Headset ive ever worn
This headset is the best headset ive ever worn in my life. period. I am a huge gamer and a huge rager and i dont always take the best care of my things. Before this my last major headset was Astro A50s. That headset was 300$+ and i would prefer this over those ones any day. Prior to buying these, i had tried out multiple different headsets off amazon and most last a couple weeks to a month. This headset lasted me a year and a half and was still going strong until the jack broke off into the controller, which was my fault. The headset eventually breaks in and feels like theres nothing on your head. I just ordered my second pair of the recon 200s and expect them to last even longer than the first ones. A MUST HAVE!!
