San Diego, CA – April 4, 2017 – If you’re a gamer looking to replace the chat headset that came with your Xbox One or PlayStation®4, then it’s time to get more for your money with the all-new RECON CHAT from Turtle Beach Corporation (NASDAQ: HEAR). The RECON CHAT headsets for Xbox One and PS4™ are the latest entries in Turtle Beach’s family of award-winning gaming audio products, and deliver a host of innovative features and functionality that raise the bar for what gamers should expect from a chat headset.
Not only is the RECON CHAT lightweight and reversible, but it’s a significant upgrade over standard chat headsets, featuring a large 40mm speaker and Turtle Beach’s glasses friendly design inspired by the ELITE PRO’s ProSpecs™ Glasses Relief System, Turtle Beach’s signature high-sensitivity microphone, and a unique open ear-cup which allows players to hear game audio from their TV or home entertainment system through both ears (in stereo). Additionally, the RECON CHAT has convenient in-line controls that place Chat Volume and Mic Mute right at your fingertips.
The RECON CHAT has an MSRP of $19.95, and is planned to launch mid-April in the UK and in select EU territories, and in mid-May in the U.S. at participating retailers. Global pre-orders are available now at participating retailers and at www.turtlebeach.com.
“We take great pride in creating products with the highest levels of value and quality for every type of gamer, and the RECON CHAT is no exception,” said Juergen Stark, CEO, Turtle Beach Corporation. “It’s important to us that even at the entry level, our headsets deliver an improved overall gaming experience through better audio. The RECON CHAT is the same price you’d pay to simply replace your chat headset, but offers gamers so much more in terms of comfort and features, all designed to help them play better.”
