San
Diego, CA – November 19, 2018 – In a year of significant growth in the video
game industry, leading gaming headset and audio accessory brand Turtle Beach (Nasdaq: HEAR) continues driving
its strong performance as the Company heads into the 2018 holiday season with its
richest offering of new, high-quality gaming headsets. With the majority of its
2018 lineup now available both in-stores and online, Turtle Beach has a variety
of headsets designed to work with Xbox One, PlayStation®4, Nintendo
Switch™, PC, and mobile/tablet devices, giving players the ability to choose
the ideal model that suits the type of gamer they are and their budget.
“Turtle
Beach’s year-over-year success stems from our ability to consistently design
the widest assortment of high-quality products that empower a diverse audience
of gamers,” said Juergen Stark, CEO, Turtle Beach. “This year we’re expanding
the Turtle Beach brand even further with our new Atlas line which includes
three different headsets for PC gamers, additional headset options under $100
with our new Stealth 300 and Recon 200 headsets, and by launching the
successor to our flagship Elite Pro
line with the Elite Pro 2 + SuperAmp Pro Performance Gaming Audio System.”
Stark
continued: “This year’s full lineup, with the exception of a couple surprises
still to be revealed, are now available in-stores and online and we’ve already seen
positive feedback from gamers, our partnered teams and streamers, as well as
very favorable reviews from publications like Game Informer, Windows Central,
and more. We’ve got a great new lineup and are looking forward to a strong
holiday season to help us continue this year’s strong performance.”
Turtle
Beach’s 2018 lineup is headlined by the Company’s commitment to PC gamers and
the introduction of its all-new Atlas
line of gaming headsets built for PC. 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 one offering PC gamers an
innovative set of features, functionality and pricing.
Additionally,
with the influx of new gamers in the market – driven significantly in part by
the popular new Battle Royale genre and games like Fortnite, PUBG, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s Blackout
mode – Turtle Beach has expanded its sub-$100 product range with the Stealth
300 and Recon 200
series amplified gaming headsets. Further, September also marked the launch of
the highly-acclaimed Elite
Pro 2 + SuperAmp Pro Performance Gaming Audio System – the
successor to Turtle Beach’s original flagship Elite Pro headset that redefined gamers’ expectations for audio
performance and comfort in a competitive gaming headset.
