The Turtle Beach Recon is a bit different from many other third-party Xbox controllers on the market. Specifically designed with voice chat and online multiplayer in mind, it's an impressively robust gamepad that features audio and voice chat options built right onto the controller. You're able to switch between numerous equalizers (including options for various game types, like first-person shooters), adjust the volume, or mute the mic entirely.

In our Turtle Beach Recon review, we scored the Xbox controller four out of five stars. We praised its robust voice chat functionality, as well as its fantastic overall build quality and satisfyingly tactile buttons and modules. It teeters on the budget end of the spectrum, but that doesn't mean Turtle Beach skimped on the controller's quality.
