Natural-Barracuda138I got some recon 200 amplified, and I love them. What would you recommend?
VillagerElevenYou can get something decent for a lot less than 250. I got a Turtle Beach recon 200 off amazon for £40 and it works great.
Fine_Coyote_230Turtle beach has some cheap wired headsets that work well if you’re on a tight budget. I think the one I had was a recon.
Jecht315Turtlebeach Recon works great. Used to be like $20 at Walmart
Fun-Security-8758I second the Recon recommendation. I've had mine for almost 3 years now and paid $12 for it, and it still works pretty much the way it did when I bought it. My only complaints are that the earpiece well isn't deep enough to not touch my ear, and the flexible microphone rod occasionally will drift away from my mouth. Aside from that, it's hard to beat for the price.
