Turtle Beach Recon 70
The Turtle Beach Recon 70 are satisfactory for wired gaming. While they feel cheaply made, their boom microphone offers good recording quality and they have a surprisingly well-balanced sound profile. They're also comfortable enough for long gaming sessions. They have virtually no latency thanks to their wireless design. However, they don’t have a companion app for customization options.

They won’t wow with special features or a dazzling design, but solid audio and a simple design make these a great option for console gamers on a budget.
