Star Josh Hart Reveal New Multi-Year
Partnership Built on His Passion for Gaming
San Diego, CA – November
15, 2018 – Leading gaming headset and audio accessory brand Turtle Beach (Nasdaq: HEAR) today
announced a new multi-year partnership as the official audio partner of Los
Angeles Laker Josh Hart. Hart and Turtle Beach will also produce content highlighting
the power and benefit of using high-quality audio equipment when playing on the
court and online. Additionally, Hart will have a hand in helping shape Turtle
Beach’s future product lines, working with the company’s leading product and
engineering teams to develop new gear designed to help fans succeed on and off
the court, in gaming and beyond.
“We strive to
align ourselves with partners who share our passion for gaming, and we’re
impressed with everything Josh represents both as a pro athlete and as a
gamer,” said Juergen Stark, CEO, Turtle Beach. “We’re thrilled to have Josh
join the Turtle Beach team, and can’t wait to integrate him with our fans,
while introducing his fans to our winning lineup of gaming headsets.”
A standout guard in Los Angeles and
former NCAA men’s basketball champion, Hart was named the 2018 NBA Summer
League MVP earlier this year. As dominant as he is on the court, Hart is also
known by many for his passion for video games. Through this partnership with Turtle
Beach, facilitated through negotiations with Roc Nation Sports, Josh elevates his gaming with the
highly-acclaimed Elite
Pro 2 + SuperAmp Pro Performance Gaming Audio System –
the company’s premier competitive gaming audio setup for Xbox One and Hart’s
go-to gaming system – his PlayStation®4.
“As a professional athlete I
understand what’s needed to perform at the highest levels of competitive play,
both on and off the court,” said Josh Hart. “Turtle Beach headsets amplify
my gaming with the best possible sound, and I’m thrilled to have a partner in
my corner that’s as passionate about gaming as I am.”
Turtle Beach’s Elite
Pro 2 + SuperAmp Pro Performance Gaming Audio System includes the Elite
Pro 2 competitive gaming headset that delivers pro-level audio
performance, crystal-clear chat, and unmatched comfort, and the Elite
