Yes, I'd recommend this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son loves these. He uses them all day long with his friends. I have to pry them off his head at night to get him to go to bed. They don’t hurt his ears or anything. They are perfect wonderful head phones.

Yes, I'd recommend this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these headphones to enjoy my gaming experience just a little bit more, but unfortunately, they were very underwhelming. First, they were big enough to fit my head comfortably, however, my husband (who is a BIG gamer) was not able to wear them at all because of the size/shape of his head. He has a wide dome head, and no hair, and was not able to wear this at all. The sound quality in the headphones was good, however nothing exceptional, nothing to make this stand out at all. It really didn't have any noise cancelling properties (that was not advertised with this, so I don't fault them for that, however, I could still hear my kids through the headphones even though they were being quiet) and I could hear everything outside them fine. The mic was actually detachable which was different, but it was cool. It worked fine as well, people were able to hear me clearly with not a ton of background noise. It uses a standard headphone plug in, so it can be used with a ton of different devices if it needed to.
These headphones weren't bad, by any means. They worked great and I had no issues with them. However, there's not really anything that makes this headset stand out or sets it apart from other generic headphones in my opinion.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Turtle Beach Recon 500 Arctic Camo is beautiful! My work from home job requires me to use a headset due to teams meetings and this has been a great quality headset to use and as a female I love the look of it instead of a plain black. Quality sounds is amazing! You cannot hear outside the headset and microphone works great too. Its very comfortable around my ears and top. Not too tight and can be adjusted. The cord is not plastic and love the feel of it. I am able to mute and adjust volume easily while on meetings. Since it uses a headphone jack instead of your typical usb, I will aslo be able to take it with me to use with my phone. I have not been able to test with gaming but assuming the quality will not change!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually use a wireless headset so when it dies I can easily plug in my turtle beach recon 500 headset into my controller since it is not wireless. Super easy to use, the sound quality come through very nice and clear! Easy to use the volume and mic buttons on the headpiece, and it’s a very comfortable headset as well! Love the design of these, it looks good!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Turtle Beach - Turtle Beach Recon 500 Arctic Camo is a nice headset. The sound quality is nice and they are comfortable for long wear, and I love the look of them! I typically use this headset when my wireless one dies, as this one is not wireless. You can use it with gaming consoles or a PC which is nice. Your volume and mic mute can be used from the ear piece of the headset. Overall, this is a nice mow to mid-grade headset.

Yes, I'd recommend this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been looking for a good pair of headphones for my PS4 for the longest time but could never really pull the trigger. I never liked using ear buds and I thought over ear headphones were too bulky and heavy. That is not the case here, bigger than earbuds yeah bud lightweight and comfortable no doubt. I don't feel any fatigue wearing these at all.
Materials feel good and they seem to be made well, plus the sound is great. Volume was really low even at full blast out of the box but once I fixed it in the system settings the super crisp sounds of the game play really came through. This pair is wired and I know that is a negative for some but the cord is soft, flexible, and lightweight and you hardly notice it so it isn't a drawback for me. I'm also a big fan of the button positioning and the detachable mic.

Yes, I'd recommend this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using these for about a month now on my PS4 and Switch and they are great. The sound quality is great and I enjoyed the volume control on the left which makes it easy to find and super convenient. The best feature for me is that there is a mute mic button on the left, this is a feature that other brands don’t have in my experience. I would definitely recommend these to all gamers.

Yes, I'd recommend this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works well for gaming, but works even better for sharing an office while working from home! Headset is comfy enough to wear for hours on end, and filters out a surprising amount of noise by having soft but dense foam in the over the ears pieces. Microphone audio is crystal clear.

Yes, I'd recommend this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this headset for my son, but ended up using it for a little while myself. I personally thought the audio quality was great, as I was using them to listen to music, and my son had nothing but rave reviews when using them to play video games. They're also very comfortable. I was able to wear them for hours at a time without my ears or the top of my head hurting.

is this PC compatible
Answer from Verizon Customer Support1 year
Yes. *Mahagani
Answer from Turtle Beach Support1 year
Yes, the Recon 500 headset can be used on PCs. If you have a single combo jack (one jack for audio and microphone purposes), then the headset will connect directly to that jack. If you have separate jacks for audio and microphone purposes, you would be in need of an additional PC splitter cable.

does this work with a laptop??
Answer from Verizon Customer Support1 year
The Turtle Beach Recon 700 will work with devices that offer a 3.5mm headset plug to connect to devices with a 3.5mm headset jack. -Loren
