In other words, I think it boosts a tiny bit too much for my preferences, while without any boost at all, it's a bit too thin, with not enough bass. The tricky part is that if it were up to me, I would blend the powered off, or unassisted bass sound, with the bass-boosted sound. Turtle Beach's preferred sound seems to be to have a slight boost in the bass and treble - and that's not really a problem it's a very fun sound, and reveals a lot of detail. The sound profile is a bit tricky, because they are definitely good enough to be usable for most people.

Thankfully, it does have quite a bit of battery life - it claims twelve hours, which is quite believable based on my testing. Unfortunately the microphone doesn't work without bass boost on, so you have to choose either lighter bass or a functioning microphone. One of the unique aspects of this headset is that, unlike the aforementioned Recon 500, this one has a built-in headphone amplifier with bass boost. Overall, I would say that it's generally quite clear, especially with bass boost off. The Recon 200 G2 doesn't quite do that - and I'm really grateful. I am so glad that the trend of muddy, bass-heavy headsets is (almost) over. And yet, despite this being the lowest cost headset from them I've reviewed yet, you get a whole lot for your money - even if the Recon 500 is probably worth the $20 more. Almost every manufacturer has a point in their product line where the quality drops off significantly. And I have to say, this is the first time that, despite some notable flaws, that the value presented really knocked my socks off. I've really gotten to know Turtle Beach's product line over the last year, as they have blessed us with quite a few review products. Thank you Turtle Beach for sending us this headset to review!
