Turtle Beach Recon 50P Wired Gaming Headset

First of all Products packaging was good. Came in a rather large box, but contents were protected. It also came with the basic manual etc. Gave this a 3 star review as this headset was recommended by a gamer friend who had purchased one of the later models and had suggested it as a good option for a remote job. Sound Quality The first five months of using the product went fairly well. Audio can be turned up very loudly, but if there is background noise the person on the other end will hear it. There is a manual mute botton and volume enhancer botton, but the persons on the other end will hear the odd silence when you press it. Fit The fit was pretty good, fits the ears really well. The ear muffs are very big, comfy and round. (As mentioned, before, noise still gets through). Disadvantage, after about 6 months the mock leather on the ear muffs will begin to strip a bit. The headset overall has a pretty big fit, so if you have a small-medium head you may have to readjust a few times. If you have a big head head (tee-hee!), you'll like it. Plus it has a rigid lengthening options on both ears. The muffs themselves have a bit of pivot in them, but the headband (that rests on top of the head) is made of hard plastic and can break if not treated with care. Issues I had: 1. The cord or the point that connects into the computer (3.5 mm jack), under six months started to lose static, then over time it stopped working. (Have lighted the part in on the headset that gives trouble overtime). You can hear videos if you turn it the right way, but others won't hear you clearly, until one day you completely lose the static. Overall was disappointed in the headset as I expected more from a $25 headset. 2. We tried to get another jack but those efforts failed, hence the end is cut off in the photos.
