Important Noise Cancellation Note

The Recon 70 uses:

Noise-Isolating Over-Ear Cushions

to help reduce outside sound passively.

However, it does not feature Active Noise Cancellation (ANC).

The microphone is a high-sensitivity omnidirectional gaming microphone, but Turtle Beach does not specify a dedicated electronic microphone noise-cancellation system for the standard Recon 70. Therefore, for the Games World filter:

Noise Cancellation (Mic): No

Important PC Compatibility Note

The Recon 70 uses a 3.5mm headset connection.

PC compatibility therefore depends on the computer's audio ports. A PC with separate headphone and microphone jacks may require a compatible headset splitter cable, depending on the exact Recon 70 package/version and the PC's audio configuration.

Important Xbox Compatibility Note

The Recon 70 works with compatible:

Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One controllers

through a 3.5mm headset connection.

Older Xbox One controllers without a built-in 3.5mm headset jack may require an appropriate headset adapter.

Important Nintendo Switch Note

The Recon 70's standard 3.5mm connection makes the headset compatible with Nintendo Switch hardware with a suitable headset jack. Turtle Beach also currently sells officially licensed Recon 70 Nintendo configurations.

Voice-chat functionality can depend on the individual game and Nintendo's software implementation.

Important Wireless Note

The Recon 70 is:

Wired Only

• Bluetooth
• 2.4GHz Wireless
• USB Wireless Dongle
