Turtle Beach’s
New Atlas Line is Built for PC Gamers, Featuring Three Models,
Including the
Pro-Level Elite Atlas, the Powerful Amplified Atlas Three,
and the Versatile
Atlas One
San Diego, CA –
Oct. 1, 2018 – Leading gaming headset and audio accessory brand Turtle Beach (NASDAQ: HEAR) officially
enters the PC gaming headset market with today’s announcement that the
company’s all-new Atlas line of headsets built
for PC is now available at participating retailers worldwide. Designed in
collaboration with leading esports teams, including Astralis, OpTic Gaming, and
the Houston Outlaws, Turtle Beach’s Atlas line features three different
models, including the Elite Atlas Pro
Performance PC Gaming Headset, the powerful Atlas
Three Amplified PC Gaming Headset, and the versatile Atlas
One PC Gaming Headset. Each Atlas headset offers PC
gamers an innovative set of features, functionality and pricing, starting with
the Elite
Atlas with a MSRP of $99.95, and the Atlas Three and Atlas
One with MSRPs of $79.95 and $49.95, respectively. Read below for full
details of each Atlas PC gaming headset.
“We worked with some of the best pro
gamers in the world to make sure our new Atlas line delivers PC gamers the
superior audio performance and comfort Turtle Beach is known for,” said Juergen
Stark, CEO, Turtle Beach. “Turtle Beach’s success is rooted in our ability to
innovate and offer a broad portfolio of products designed for all types of
gamers, from professional competitive esports athletes to those just getting
into gaming, and that’s what we’re now bringing to the PC market with our Atlas
headsets. We knew we needed more than just a single offering, so we built the Atlas
lineup to cater to the various types of PC gamers out there – whether they’re
shopping based on specific features or budget.”
Stark continued,
“The Elite
Atlas is built for pro players, aspiring pros, and hardcore gamers, and
its $99 MSRP keeps it well within reach for serious PC gamers looking for the
best headset to help them take on the competition. The Atlas Three offers PC
gamers an option with amplified audio and is based on our best-selling Stealth 600 headset design. And the Atlas
One is a great everyday PC gaming headset that delivers premium sound,
comfort, and multiplatform compatibility at a great price.”
When designing the new Atlas
line, Turtle Beach worked closely with top esports teams to fully understand
the needs of elite esports athletes, and to ensure the Atlas headsets deliver on
PC gamers’ expectations. After all, esports teams know a thing or two about
what it takes to perform at the highest levels of play, whether practicing or
competing on the tournament stage. In fact, Astralis just won the FACEIT London
2018 CS:GO Major Championship that
took place on Sept. 23, 2018, with a follow-up performance as the winner of the
CS:GO Blast Pro Series Istanbul
tournament which took place this past weekend.
“In Counter-Strike, sound and communication are essential.
There is no room for mistakes, and being able to recognize the sound
of footsteps, weapon type, and other audio details just a millisecond before
your opponent makes a huge difference,” said Peter ‘dupreeh’ Rasmussen.
“If you
want to be the best, you want your equipment to be second to none – the
difference between a good and a great headset can be the difference between
winning and losing a grand final. So, it’s been
very rewarding working with the team at Turtle Beach to help them
ensure the Atlas headsets provide top-tier audio performance for
all PC gamers.”
Below are full details on Turtle
Beach’s three new Atlas gaming headsets built for PC.
