"Powered by a rechargeable 12-hour battery, the Turtle Beach Recon 200 Gen 2 multiplatform gaming headset delivers powerful, amplified audio with bass boost and variable mic monitoring so you can hear the volume of your voice in the headset. But we get it, 12-hours can go by quickly, so the Recon 200 Gen 2 can keep going without power in passive mode for game audio. Whether you’re chatting with teammates or trash-talking the enemy, the high-sensitivity flip- to-mute mic picks up your comms loud and clear. New ultra-soft memory foam ear cushions with ProSpecs and a strengthened, metal-reinforced headband provides plush comfort and durability over hours of gaming. Microphone may not function without power in all configurations. To ensure full functionality, please keep your headset charged. "
