## Questions & Answers

**Q: When i use ity friends hear a constant amp like noise emitting from my headset what can i do?**
A: Buy a new one this one sucks

**Q: Can i use an adaptor and plug it into the usb port on the ps4? And still get the same quality?**
A: The Recon Chat is a wired, chat-only headset designed to connect right to the 3.5mm headset port on the PS4 controller, as shown here: https://support.turtlebeach.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005397447-Recon-Chat-for-PS4-Quick-Start-Guide

**Q: will this work with nintendo switch?**
A: I got one to use with my switch and it works just fine! If you plan to use it with your switch docked, however, you'll need a mic-compatible aux extender, simply so you aren't 1 foot from your television!

**Q: Is the mic right?**
A: Its perfect actually. Since i wear glasses, the indent that it has helps.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better now with better QA
*by C***M on June 30, 2024*

I bought one of these probably about 8 years ago and a 2nd headset 4 years ago. Both were broken when I moved. The 2nd headset wire was extra tick and didn't bend at all, it was a joke. This is the 3rd headset I've bought and it's fantastic. Great for people with glasses and since the mic arm bends easily you can switch ears and it's still comfy. The wires on this one are similar to the 1st purchase, they are bendy and don't retain their shape. I'd say the audio quality of this speaker is slightly better than the 2nd. I'm guessing the company increased their QA or I was unlucky the 2nd time and got a lemon. Either way I'll be buying these as long as devices continue to support the 3.5mm headphone jacks.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Let's go gaming!
*by L***G on July 13, 2025*

As described in perfect condition and delivered promptly

### ⭐ Do yourself a favor and do NOT purchase this headset.
*by A***R on December 28, 2021*

Where to even begin. I give this headset 1 star, and that is only because the option to give out negative star ratings is not an option. Even for the $15 bucks that this costs, this thing is absolute garbage. When purchasing this headset, I had absolutely no disillusions that I was buying something on the low end of the spectrum in terms of quality, what so ever. However, I figured that I would at least be purchasing a working product that functioned as it is advertised. Boy, was I just flat out wrong lol. Calling this headset garbage, or a waste of money, and honestly really time as well, for waiting the days that it took to be delivered, and delivered late I might add, doesn’t even fully encompass how bad this thing is. It is insanely uncomfortable in every single way, and “Adjusting” the size does nothing to make it more comfortable what so ever. And I say adjusting that way, because their idea of what adjusting actually means, is very skewed from its actual definition lol. When they say it adjusts to different sizes, what they mean is that the band that goes over the top of your head slides up and down through the a slot in the ear piece, by doing so does absolutely nothing to improve the overall way it fits your head lol, and the extremely rigid plastic that said band is made out of, literally does not change shape, as in bending or being somewhat flexible, so that it actually sits comfortably on your head. You would literally have to like heat up the plastic in some way in order to bend it, and then hold it there so as to reshape the plastic in order to make it the shape of an actual human head lol. Even the ear piece is very uncomfortable, because it has very limited padding, and where there could be more padding, the space for it is sacrificed and made even smaller to accommodate for it's notable ability to accommodate people who wear glasses, so that the glasses don't come in contact with anything at all. It's like apparently Turtle Beach just thought "screw the larger Percentage of people who don't wear glasses. Let's deisgn this headset for the minority group of people, those who do wear glasses, so that only those people are comfortable wearing them". Makes no sense what so ever. Then there is the fact that they do not even work as advertised. The description for them flat out states that this headset is a "chat only" headset. Meaning that game sounds can not be made to play through the headset, but only through the tv as they would without a headset. When buying a headset, I always look for a chat only headset, because I hate headsets that play game sounds through them. I have never understood how anyone could even like having game sounds played through the headset in the first place. I can't play like that. I need chat only specific headsets, because I cannot stand having game audio, AND chat playing through my headset at the same time. And even though it clearly is advertised as a chat only headset, it is in fact a game audio and chat headset. Making the advertisement a flat out lie. And then on to on top of all that, the damn thing doesn't even work lol. I can hear people, sometimes, but no one can ever hear me at all ever, even when I am not muted. Do yourself a favor, and do not buy these. They are an utter waste of money, even if they only cost $15. Absolute trash. Do yourself a favor, and shell out a bit more money on a good headset that is more comfortable, and actually works.
