The New STEALTH 520 and STEALTH 420X+ Bring Turtle Beach’s Acclaimed Superhuman Hearing Feature to its Latest 100% Fully Wireless Gaming Headsets for Xbox and PlayStation
Following a successful debut at E3, Turtle Beach Corporation, a audio technology company for over 40 years, is going to bring its latest lineup of innovative products to Europe’s biggest gaming show, gamescom. Making their debut at the show will be Turtle Beach’s all-new STEALTH 520 and STEALTH 420X+ gaming headsets for PlayStation4 and Xbox One respectively, both of which offer 100% fully wireless connectivity and Superhuman Hearing, among a variety of additional features no gamer should be without.
Also making their European debut at gamescom will be Turtle Beach’s STEALTH 350VR – the first gaming headset designed for upcoming Virtual Reality (VR) devices featuring amplified audio, as well as the upcoming STREAM MIC – the first studio-quality, plug-n-play microphone specifically designed to let gamers livestream like a pro directly from their Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC and Mac.
“2016 continues to be an exciting year for Turtle Beach. Fresh on the heels of reinventing the gaming headset for today’s eSports athletes with the ELITE PRO, we maintain our market leadership position through the continued introduction of innovative, industry-first products,” said Juergen Stark, CEO, Turtle Beach Corporation. “VR appears to continue gaining momentum as we head into the fourth quarter, and we’ve recently announced one of the first gaming headsets specifically built to take the VR audio experience from good to amazing. We’ve also created the first live-streaming mic that is designed to work with both consoles as well as PC and Mac. And we’re now expanding our line of products featuring our proprietary Superhuman Hearing technology with two new fully wireless gaming headsets – all of which are expected to be available in time for the holidays.”
