Low frills, low price headset
The iPhone 6s isn't the only piece of tech gear coming out tomorrow (September 25, 2015), so is Turtle Beach's new Ear Force Recon 50 series, which is a new line of headsets for PC (Recon 50), Xbox One (Recon 50X), and PlayStation 4 (Recon 50P).
Turtle Beach didn't go all out with its new Recon 50 line. Instead, this is a budget headset line with a $40 (MSRP) price tag and lightweight design -- according to Turtle Beach, the over-the-ear Recon 50 weighs just seven ounces.
Inside the earcups are 40mm Neodymium speaker drivers. Turtle Beach says they deliver "sizzling highs and thunderous lows," while the synthetic leather-wrapped earcups provide improved bass and noise isolation. At $40 retail, we're a bit skeptical of Turtle Beach's claims here.
The Recon 50 also has an adjustable, high-sensitivity boom mic (non-removable), along with in-line controls with Mic Mute and Master Volume buttons.
Though it's pitched at PC gamers, the Recon 50 can plug into any system with a 3.5mm audio jack, be it a tablet, smartphone, and so forth.
If this is something you're interested in and you absolutely can't wait until tomorrow, Turtle Beach is accepting pre-orders for the Ear Force Recon 50 on its website.
