Features

Is the Turtle Beach Recon 50 worth buying at £12.45?

On 10 November 2026 this wired headset carried a Limited time deal badge on Amazon UK at £12.45, an early Black Friday offer. The £19.99 strikethrough figure is a list price, not necessarily the usual selling price, so the real saving may be smaller. The deal can end without notice. We have not used this headset ourselves. This write-up is based on the Amazon listing and the manufacturer's specifications. The listing shows 4.3 stars from more than 106,000 ratings, which is a very large sample.

Key features

  • Wired 3.5mm connection for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, PC and mobile
  • 40mm over-ear speakers
  • Removable high-sensitivity microphone
  • In-line controls for master volume and mic mute
  • Lightweight design aimed at long sessions

Who it suits

It is a low-cost headset for a child's console, a spare for the family room or a first gaming headset. A wired connection means no batteries, no charging and no pairing. The removable mic is handy if you want to use the headset for music or films.

Who should skip it

If you want wireless freedom, active noise cancelling, app-based EQ or surround sound, this is not the headset for you. At this price the build and sound will be basic compared with a mid-range model like the Stealth 600. Some controllers and phones need the right 3.5mm adapter, so check your setup first.

Bottom line

A simple, popular budget headset that is easy to recommend for casual use at around £12. Check the Amazon page for the current price and colour before you buy.
