Multiplatform Wired Headset for PC and Consoles

The Turtle Beach Recon 50 is a lightweight over-ear headset built for gaming on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and mobile devices. It connects through a single 3.5mm jack and ships with a PC splitter cable for separate headphone and microphone ports. The removable high-sensitivity microphone lets you switch between chat and solo media use.

Analogue 3.5mm Connection Limits

Audio quality and microphone performance depend entirely on the host device’s onboard sound hardware because the headset draws no external power. The 32 ohm impedance and 40mm drivers are driven directly by the controller or motherboard jack, so maximum volume and dynamic range will vary between platforms. No digital signal processing or surround sound decoding is performed on the headset itself.

Check Your Controller and Port Layout

Verify that your console controller or laptop provides a standard 3.5mm CTIA headset jack; older Xbox One pads need Microsoft’s stereo headset adapter which is not included. On desktop PCs confirm whether your front-panel or motherboard audio uses a combined TRRS socket or separate pink and green ports so you know if the supplied splitter cable is required.
