“Creating the Elite Pro 2 + SuperAmp
took the experience and dedication of our team, and deep collaboration with our
esports partners to ensure we deliver the best Elite level gaming audio system,”
said Juergen Stark, CEO, Turtle Beach. “It’s a testament to the relentless
commitment we started nearly five years ago when we began work on the original Elite Pro, and we’re looking forward to
launching its successor next month and once again resetting the bar for what
gamers should expect in a competitive gaming headset.”
The Elite Pro 2 headset is
built to win with professional-grade audio performance driven by Turtle Beach’s
signature esports-tuned 50mm Nanoclear™
speakers paired with a removable high-sensitivity mic with TruSpeak™ technology for crystal-clear communication
with teammates. The Elite Pro 2 headset also sports a sleek and durable metal
headband with a suspended pad, Turtle Beach’s patented ProSpecs™ glasses friendly design, and magnetic AeroFit™ cooling gel-infused memory
foam ear cushions featuring athletic sport fabric and synthetic leather working
together to block out external noise while keeping players cool and comfortable
under fire. Additionally, easily swappable magnetic deco plates allow players
to customize their Elite Pro 2, with an assortment of deco plate designs planned
to be available for purchase this holiday season.
At the same time, the elegant Elite
SuperAmp offers an entirely new way for players to control their game
audio. This one-dial gaming audio controller provides powerful amplified
Windows Sonic for Headphones surround sound on Xbox One and DTS®
Headphone:X® 7.1 channel surround sound on PS4™, and connects via
Bluetooth® to the Turtle Beach
Audio Hub mobile app on Android or iOS devices where gamers can
adjust a variety of settings. When connected to the Audio Hub app on their mobile device, players will be able to instantly
control features like Game and Chat Audio Mix, Variable Mic Monitoring, Dynamic Chat Boost™, Superhuman Hearing™ and other audio EQ
presets, including Bass Boost. There are also controls for the SuperAmp’s
LED color and lighting mode, and streaming-specific audio settings as well.
“We’re excited for the results of our
continued partnership with Turtle Beach,” said OpTic Gaming General Manager
Romain Bigeard. “A competitive organization like ours has the most stringent
performance requirements for our equipment, and Turtle Beach has consistently
matched and exceeded our standards. The Elite Pro 2 + SuperAmp fulfills that
demand and then some, and we expect it to be a crucial addition to the kit of
any gamer looking to give themselves an edge over the competition.”
Additionally, fans attending PAX West
