First Impression
We were sent a pair of the all-new RECON CHAT for the Xbox One. The set up was fairly straightforward. I found the headset to be very lightweight and indeed, glasses friendly. The sound was above average compared to chat headsets pre-packaged with consoles. Volume level was a tad bit on the low side but not a deal breaker. Overall, for $19.99 MSRP, the RECON CHAT offers great value.
Don’t worry PS4® gamers, the Turtle Beach RECON CHAT for the PS4® will also be available in May 2017.
