Our Verdict
Razer BlackShark V2
Turtle Beach Recon 500
The Razer BlackShark V2 are slightly better gaming headphones than the Turtle Beach Recon 500. The Razer are more comfortable, have a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer, and they're compatible with Razer Synapse software, which offers a graphic EQ plus presets so that you can tweak their sound to your liking. However, the Turtle Beach's boom mic offers a better overall performance.
