Our Verdict

Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 Wireless

Turtle Beach Recon 500

The Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 are better for wireless gaming, while the Turtle Beach Recon 500 are better for wired gaming. The 600 are more comfortable, feel better built, and have under 24 hours of continuous battery life. However, the 500 have a more neutral default sound profile, and their boom mic offers better overall performance.
