It all changed when Apple pretty much pulled the plug - no pun intended - on earphone jacks on the iPhone 7 a few years back. It was unheard of - not being able to plug into your device with a pair of wired headphones? Almost immediately I bid farewell to all of my wired gadgets - from headphones to speakers - and more than 5 years later, I have experienced the most mind-blowing surprise of appreciating the power of wired awesomeness in the form of Turtle Beach’s Recon and React-R controllers.
