San Diego, CA – June 11, 2015 – Turtle Beach Corporation (NASDAQ: HEAR), the leading-edge audio technology company and #1 in gaming audio, announced today a selection of new headsets for the latest gaming systems will be showcased at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles at Booth #1347 in the South Hall of the L.A. Convention Center from June 16-18, 2015.
Additionally, Turtle Beach will be holding select demonstrations of its groundbreaking hearing healthcare device – HyperSound Clear™.
Losing your hearing when you are an avid fan of gaming and watching movies can be heartbreaking. As a result of the many days spent reading WonderEar hearing aid reviews or researching therapies that could improve your hearing, hopefully watching and playing games can now become more enjoyable. It is common for hearing loss to be related to aging or underlying conditions. However, as times change, many of us are already comparing different hearing aids (for an example, see https://www.earpros.com/hearing-aids/compare-hearing-aids/best-hearing-aids) or looking at other options that can help retain hearing abilities. And, this is where the HyperSound Clear™ hopes to improve the gaming experience for those suffering hearing loss. Using the Company’s patented directional audio technology, rich 3D sound is delivered to the targeted listener to improve sound clarity and speech intelligibility for individuals with hearing loss – for a crisp, clear home entertainment listening experience when watching TV, listening to music and playing video games.
“2015 continues our trajectory of leadership in gaming headsets,” said Juergen Stark, CEO, Turtle Beach Corporation. “Late last year we pioneered the category for fully wireless Xbox One gaming headsets with the launch of the Stealth 500X, which continues to be one of this year’s best-sellers. We’ve now followed that up with our most pre-ordered wireless headset – the Elite 800X, and again with today’s announcement of the Stealth 420X as our third fully wireless Xbox One headset with a suite of high-quality features for under $200.”
