Based on 1 year's data from Feb 15, 2026 How it works
Turtle 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.
Turtlebeach Recon works great. Used to be like $20 at Walmart
Turtlebeach recons are like $30 and pretty good for the price, they’re wired (good since it’s just plug and play) and they fold up neatly to carry easily. Razer also has some cheap headsets like the BlackShark, might be worth looking into them too.
I 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.
Not great had two recons kill themselves after 1 year and am on a stealth 600 on the way out. Decent features but piss poor long term quality.
I have the PS5 Turtlebeach headset. Got it when I got my ps5. Haven’t had an issue and the sound quality has been great.
