The Recon Chat headset is a wired, passive headset so what you described here is very strange.

Sooo bad!!! No cushion in the ear part, you can’t adjust it and it is made for someone with a gigantic head. Does not stay on! Sound is terrible even with volume turned up super high. The mic does not stay in place. Just overall a really poor product! Do not waste you money!!! Spend like 20-30$ more for something that can actually be used!

The headphone jack is not the right size and keeps popping out. This product is garbage.
1 reply from Turtle Beach Support team - 4 years ago
Thank you for leaving your feedback! The headphone plug on the Recon Chat headset is a 3.5mm plug that is capable of connecting to a standard headset jack on a PlayStation controller, so you should have no issue plugging it in. However, since you are having that experience, please take the time to reach out to our dedicated Support Team so they can lend a helping hand here. If that plug is damaged in some way, the team would want to assist you in getting this headset replaced under its warranty. We can be reached right from the support section of the Turtle Beach website. Best regards!

Skit - 4 years ago
The ear piece has no real cushion on it and it is opened on the sides. It might have good sound quality but you can't even hear it with the volume at 100% (and yes, I turned the volume up on the wire itself). I had hopes they would work well as I have the full headset and use it regularly but wanted a headset with only one ear piece. The mic skips as you're talking but I'm not sure if that was my connection while testing them. Even if the mic worked great the earpiece makes them difficult to use. There is almost an inch of space between the piece and your ear. Also, the headpiece is very large. At the smallest setting, it is far too big and doesn't sit right on your head.

They are always looking to gather feedback from our customers and can look in to assisting you with the microphone inconvenience that you made mention of.

Very cheap and uncomfortable
1 reply from Turtle Beach Support team - 4 years ago
Hello Nessa, Sorry to hear about this! We get very few complaints about sizing or comfort issues. Due to the wide variations in head sizes and shapes, it's not possible to design a "one-size-fits-all" headset that will fit absolutely 100% of all users. However, we consistently provide a comfortable fit for the overwhelming majority of our customers. With that being said, is there anything else you are in need of assistance with? If so, please be sure to reach out to our dedicated Support Team via their contact form on the main Turtle Beach website. Thank you kindly and have a wonderful day!
