Good sound (both for input and output,) and comfy to boot. First: the main complaint people have about these actually appears to be caused by the user failing to charge them. Yes, they are wired (auxiliary vs. Bluetooth) headphones, and many wired headphones don’t require charging to fully work… But these have ‘standard’ and ‘powered’ modes, and the latter will drain the internal battery after a few long sessions, after which they automatically revert to the ‘standard’ mode.In ‘standard’ mode, they work perfectly fine for output, but the microphone doesn’t work well; others can hardly hear you (if they can hear you at all.)In the ‘powered’ modes (Xbox or PS,) the output is amplified, frequency response improves dramatically, and the mic becomes super crisp. I do find the Xbox vs PS switch perplexing; both modes work (for both out- and input) with my Xbox Series X, but I actually find the PS mode provides better sound for me. There are also dials above the ‘mode switch’ for both the output and microphone volumes.Once dead, they don’t take a terribly long time to re-charge, and I even found that if they happen to die while I’m in a party, I can simply use my extra long USB-C phone charger to plug them in and continue to use the ‘powered.’ So, while the need to charge them is a slight annoyance, I really like that I don’t have to stay on top of it to make sure they don’t die.They are very lightweight and comfortable; as someone with a smaller head, I’ve found many headsets will end up either gradually slipping off, or feeling so heavy that I get a headache over time. Not so with these! I can even wear thick-rimmed blue light blocking glasses without issue. The headband has supple pleather cushioning, and the ear cups are cushy and lined with fine mesh. When not in use, the ear cups will fold out so as to flatten, making it easy to put them in a case if you’re going somewhere.All in all, for the price I’d say these are exceptional gaming headphones. I’ve had both generic headsets ~$15 cheaper than these, and specialty headsets that were at least double the price… And these far outrank both. I’d absolutely recommend them, along with a 10ft USB-C cable just in case you find out mid-game that you forgot to re-charge them 😉
Versatile headset. Recon 200 Gen 2 is equipped with 40 mm drivers with a bass boost. Also, for a deeper experience, this headset is equipped to send spatial audio through technology such as Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos or DTS: 3D X and Sony audio headphones. This is a messy headset that can hold 12 hours of charge through the included USB Type-C cables, making the audio harder and fuller. Unlike other cluttered headphones, if Recon 200 Gen 2 runs out of juice during the playback session it will continue to run passive headphones with 3.5mm input.The ear cushions are made of breathable memory foam that helps keep the headphones from being too hot during a longer gaming session with lightweight metal-strengthened headbands to the head comfort.Recon 200 Gen 2 works as a passive headphone, but it shines when the amplifier is turned on. When using Recon to listen to my PC Thuthh music, the source sounds fuller on the PS setting, so I keep it on juice.When the beefed up sound is turned on in the 200 gen 2 sound, it sounds fantastic. Other fortified headphones don’t work at all when they don’t have a charge, but Recon 200 Gen 2 will work as a passive headphone when the battery dies, although in passive state, the sound quality is dated but nothing is written home.Closing comment:The amplification does a lot of things to boost the sound by raising the low end and making Eventning sound fuller. Being run as passive headphones is a nice feature because it makes the Recon 200 never out of commission, but there is a decrease in sound quality that is famous when used as passive headphones. By switching the settings between Xbox and PlayStation, it ensures that users can get optimal feedback for whichever console they use.
Contiene un amplificador interno que lo hace más potente que otros, tengo los 500 y prefiero estos, lo recomiendo ampliamente. Son geniales cómodos y potentes como me gusta. Saludos.
Great product. Not for music. For the price is one of the best options for gaming. However, I’m a musician and audio quality is not the best for music. Average person won’t notice the difference but consider that.
No complaints. Bought them for my son. Haven’t seen or heard from him since. So I would say worth the money for sure.
