Questions & Answers

How long will the headset work even after the battery runs out?

You will not be able to use them.

What if I want to use this program on my computer? Please answer this question quickly, btw I may have already bought something else by the time I see your reply! ?

A separate mic port and headphone port come with the headset, so I can use it with my PC. The only other option for separate ports is to get a Mic/headphone splitter for each of your PCs (something like the "UGREEN Headphone Splitter for Computer 3". Dual 3 x 5mm Female to Dual 3 x 5mm Female. You can choose from a "5mm Male Headphone Mic Audio Y Splitter Cable Smartphone Headset to PC Adapter (Black)" or you can get a 3-pin. This is what I chose to do (I chose a 5mm to USB converter). As for the USB adapter, I used "TROND External USB Audio Adapter Sound Card with One 3.1" specification. The TRRS is a 5mm auxiliary input for audio output and headphone jack. It is possible to connect a microphone to the computer. Your PC may have a single port for both headphones and microphone, so you can plug the headset into the PC as it is.

How does it generate its power? Is it independent?

In addition to the internal battery inside, the Recon 200 headset comes with a USB cable that can be used to recharge it.

The knowledge I would have gained before purchasing would have been helpful. Other than that, it seems to work fine.

Everyone can be heard, and everyone can be defeated
5/5

Today I was able to pick up the new recon 200. My search for an adequate sound headset that is comfortable, suitable and equipped with a microphone has taken me through a ton of headphones over the past year or so. There are many levels to the impact of the recon 200. There is nothing like the always on bass boost - it's like no other sound experience I've ever heard. Of course, not everyone will like it. As a result of the amplified sound in games such as H1Z1 and CODS Blackout beta, I am able to get the drop on people. When it comes to sound, yes, the controller of the PS4 is plenty loud for these (most likely thanks to the amp built in). If you're tired of low volume from the controller and do not wish to purchase an additional amp, this might be a good option to consider. In the user guide it states that they require charging every 12 hours (since they are amplified and need to be charged) and I wonder if that will hold true. You might want to consider the stealth 300 if you need a longer run. Likewise, the mic has worked out well so far, with swivel to mute as a useful There is no doubt that it is not an "audiophile" headphone, but for a gaming headset with crisp audio, bass that you can feel, and comfort you can experience all day? Turtle Beach has hit the jackpot with.

Is it necessary to charge the wired headset? My favorite Turtle Beach headphone of all time, I've had numerous others but this one is the worst
3/5

This is a GROUNDED headset that must be CHARGED, to me it It is not packaged with an adapter to use it on PC in addition to the mobile device. There are no descriptions for the product. (Description says it's compatible with Win10). I am disappointed in the sound quality and how short the mic is. My next move will be to find an alternative. Turtle Beach is my favorite, but they dropped the ball here.

It's safe to say that I am officially old. Atari was the first video game system I remember playing on, where I spent hours twisting a knob and having A few thousand years ago, it was considered high technology to play ping-pong. I am grateful to have made progress towards a lighter future Knob turning has now been consigned to opening doors and is a far cry from its infancy in gaming history. For most of my 50 years here on earth, I have played a number of other gaming systems, both handheld and console, and it's an enjoyable experience. It was largely Nintendo, Sega, Playstation, Xbox, and wherever else I could find them. Throughout my career, I've used more than 20 headsets for various uses, with half of them having microphones You can also find Creative Sound Blaster, Bose, Sony, Apple, and Apple.

After arriving at the hotel, a dead battery could be recharged in 5 hours with the provided cable (to USB). Having connected the headphones, I then connected the 3 to the headphones. I have a 5mm port at the bottom of my wireless Xbox As soon as I turned the power on the headphones with the sliding switch, a green light started to illuminate to indicate the device had been activated. Before switching to Xbox input, I made sure the volume sliders for the mic as well as the overall volume were in the low position. Please take note The PS4 can also be connected via the input. The Recon 200's have this unique feature that I liked as well. There are no issues with the build quality.

It was great when I watched an action flick at 1 am on Netflix and didn't want to wake my family, but I still wanted to hear the 'booms' in the movie! There are several high-ranking officials in charge I appreciated the sensitivity of the microphone Clear as day With a volume control that is easy to work with, and the mute switch at the top, it serves its purpose. I appreciated that the microphone volume could be easily adjusted and that I could hear my own voice clearly. Commune with each other rather than yelling! My ears were covered by the earcups.

At first, I found the earphones comfortable, but the soreness of my ears started to set in after about one hour. May be I, or maybe the earphones, will just adjust (soften) as the usage patterns increase? It is my hope that it is!

When you first use these headphones you may notice the volume level is very low, even on the highest setting. In your game system or PC, there may be settings that are specific to the headphones or audio that need to be adjusted for the headphones you are using to provide the volume you desire. My Xbox's audio settings were set to the maximum for the headphones. I had to turn down the volume on my headset due to it being too loud for me after my Xbox audio settings were set to the maximum. - - - Please note that.

Worked for a while, then stopped
3/5

Now that I have fully charged them, the microphone is not working at all. I am extremely disappointed. My son is devastated because he loved the look and feel of the headphones. It seems that my attempt to contact the company is still not going well, so I'm not sure what will happen.

This is a great product
5/5

My first ever set of Turtle Beaches came when Players Unknown Battlegrounds (PUBG) was released, and I had a cheap pair of SHADES at the time. You can't go wrong with the Recon 200s. When playing a video game and in a chat room, the sound is crystal clear. There is a sound of footsteps coming from across the street. Similarly, I play rocket league with Pandora in the background, and I can hear the game about 30% of the time and my music 70% of the time, and the music sounds fantastic. Additionally, chat is being carried out in the background. In any case. You'll be pleased if you pick up this set if you're looking for an amazing pair of headphones at a great price (I think).

The device is not recommended for purchase
3/5

I have purchased this device and I would strongly advise you to not purchase it. It is not what I expected to find in a turtle beach, and it is definitely not what I expected. There are so many problems with this product, as well as a lot of hassles to deal with. I did not find this headset comfortable in any way. The padding is rock hard with minimal give and the sound is just constant white noise with a lot of You can get an $8 mic that comes in the PS4 box, and I would be happy with that. The mic is not worth the money. Besides $10, it is worth nothing more than that.
