SAN DIEGO, May 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Turtle Beach
(NASDAQ: HEAR), the global leader in gaming audio, today announced
the Company's all-new Recon 70 series gaming headsets
for Xbox One and PlayStation®4 are now available at
retail, in addition to the Recon 70 for Nintendo
Switch™ that launched last month. With a MSRP of $39.95, the Recon 70 delivers
high-quality game audio through powerful 40mm over-ear speakers and
features Turtle Beach's renowned high-sensitivity flip-up mic.
Additionally, the Recon 70's lightweight design,
padded and adjustable headband, and leatherette ear cushions
provide the necessary comfort during those long gaming sessions as
players rack-up more wins on the battlefield.
The Recon 70 is the successor to Turtle Beach's
Recon 50 series – the #1 selling wired gaming headset in
North America1, having
sold over five million units to date. Further, the Recon
70 for Nintendo Switch launched last month and has already
seen strong initial feedback, including a 4/5 review score and
being designated as the "best budget Nintendo Switch headset" by
Games Radar. The Recon 70 series gaming headsets also
come in a variety of colors. The Xbox One and PS4™ models are
available in both black or white with green and blue accents,
respectively, while the Nintendo Switch version has a black frame
with signature red accents. Also available at participating
retailers is a unique midnight red version of the Recon
70 for PS4.
"The Recon 70 delivers outstanding entry-level
value, elevating its predecessor's offering with an updated design
including our powerful flip-to-mute mic – a feature previously only
available on higher-end products like the best-selling2
$99 Stealth 600," said
Juergen Stark, CEO, Turtle Beach.
"With an even wider range of color options and broad compatibility
with all gaming systems, we're confident we'll see the Recon
70 continue our trend of having the top-selling entry-level
gaming headset."

communication, and lightweight comfort larger than ever, and the
Recon 70 delivers it all. Key features include:
