Review: Mic Monitoring! Woo! - Since there are already hundreds of reviews covering this headset here already, I'll just skip over to my personal favorite feature: mic monitoring / sidetone! I'm coming from an old PX21 headset from over a decade ago. It's held up well for 10+ years, but it was time to move on to a newer (and comfier) headset. So, here I am with the Recon 200. I am glad to see that Turtle Beach has maintained their signature mic monitoring feature with the new Recon 200 headset. The monitoring volume is adjustable, clear, and can go loud enough to really keep your own voice level in check while playing even the loudest of games. My only complaint (compared to the PX21) is that the mic appears to be far more sensitive and has a tendency to pick up noises away from your mouth. The old PX21's mic was designed to sit closer to your mouth and did not pick up much (if any) noise that was more than a couple inches away from the actual microphone itself. Not a biggest fan of this change with the new, shorter microphone design. Anyhow, since there aren't many options for gaming headsets with good mic monitoring / sidetone for console players, this is likely the best one you can get for <$50 USD. I'm highly satisfied and would recommend it to anyone looking for a headset in this price range. (If you want in-depth info about the audio quality of the Recon 200, I'd suggest reading the SoundGuys review. They did a superb job. In short, this headset has a fairly neutral audio profile, which is common among Turtle Beach headsets. The mic is clear and easily audible to others, but does filter out much of the bass in your voice.) (Yes, mic monitoring / sidetone can be completely turned off if you don't like this feature. There is an adjustable dial controlling the volume for this specifically (separate from game volume) on the left ear cup.) (No, there is no delay or lag with mic monitoring / sidetone whatsoever, just like with my old PX21. That's why I like this headset. I use it with my PS4, and plan to use it with the PS5 eventually.)
Review: Solid choice - Alright, so I have seen good and bad things about this headset. I bought them to use on my ps4. Lots of positive things to say about them. The sound quality is pretty outstanding. Lots of bass and very clear loud audio. The mic works very well, and there are little scroll buttons on the headset to adjust volumes of mic and sound. The mic is not adjustable type though like others, it's stiff so you just flip up to mute and flip it down to talk. It fits nicely, the ear pieces are comfy and I almost can't hear anything else when I put them on. Now, there are some negatives. You do have to charge them when not using them. This can be a problem if you forget to charge them after you play, but I always remember so its no big deal for me. Also, they are not wireless so you plug them into your controller. Some people like wireless, again not a problem for me. Another thing, I got them on PS4 but I think I read if you get them on xbox, you have to buy a separate adapter for your controller. For PS4 you do not need one you just plug it right into controller. Overall, it is a great choice for a decent cheaper price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sound is decent and it’s a comfortable headset but the microphone broke about 6 months in
*by C***R on January 8, 2019*

Update 9/29/2020 **Headset still sounds decent but the microphone has completely stopped working which makes the headset useless for any kind of game or app requiring communication. This actually occurred months ago and I’m only now bothered to update the review (probably happened around the holidays 2019). I’m guessing my nephew broke it after a fort nite battle went south but I’ll never know for sure as there’s no visible damage to the headset anywhere and I never saw him do anything that might have damaged it. I like the headset, but the feature that mentions bass boost feels misleading to me as in earlier Turtle Beaches I've had with the same listed feature, one could adjust the amount of bass boost. This headset does not variable bass boost, it's just boosted sound in general (though it does sound good). I find the mic monitoring to be mixed quality. While it's a nice feature, it's hard to find a good balance with it because you either get not benefit from it (you cannot hear yourself talk) or you get waaay too much of it (your mic picks up every little sound in the room.. button presses... creaky chairs.. background conversation, etc). The headset would have greatly benefited from a battery saving feature that automatically turns the headset off after receiving no input for several minutes. I've found myself with a dead battery plenty of times because I've forgotten to turn it off after I finished playing. **I'll update this as I continue to use this headset. So far, it's a good buy for the price.
