It's not often you see amplification or discreet power in a wired headset, especially one where you need to charge the headset in order to use it if the battery runs dry. Now, the reason that the new Turtle Beach Recon 200 gaming headset chooses this approach is a sound one. Literally, in order to deliver consistent, loud, clear, and bass heavy audio.

In terms of pure audio, the 40mm drivers and frequency response are standard for this price-point. Paired with amplification though and it means that Turtle Beach’s balancing for gaming – specifically action titles – can come through no matter if they’re connected to a PC, tablet or console. Where bass response is impressive, but not in a way that affects clarity. Especially when it comes to in-game chatter with other players and being able to take note of directional sound effects. By favouring the lower and higher end frequencies and locking out any adjustment outside of separate volume controls for audio and chat, any sort of fine tuning is relegated to software or hardware that supports it.
