“Turtle Beach is a leading gaming audio brand because we constantly innovate to design high-quality headsets; with features that gamers want; so we’re clearly excited to extend our portfolio; with the Atlas products for PC gamers. This expansion is a great move for us because; in addition to our already strong performance in console gaming headsets; we’ll now have the ability to attract both dedicated and cross-platform PC gamers through our new Atlas line-up.”
said Juergen Stark, CEO, Turtle Beach Corporation.
Turtle Beach has been a consistent market leader in console gaming headsets; however is no stranger to the PC market; as the company was a pioneering force through the early days of PC audio; with products including the first midi-synthesisers and a variety of PC sound cards in the 1980s and 1990s. Since then, the company has evolved with the times; and in 2005 Turtle Beach launched the first ever console gaming headset; setting out to become the leading gaming audio brand it is today, thanks to its continued efforts in innovation, broad product catalogue, and strong retail partnerships and distribution channels. During that time, Turtle Beach has created a handful of well-received PC gaming headsets, but the company’s core focus has primarily been on the console business, until now.
“When we set out on the path to growing our presence in PC, it included conducting consumer research and working with our partners on key design elements, resulting in what we believe is a great first assortment of PC headsets. Each Atlas headset offers PC gamers the audio performance and comfort Turtle Beach is known for. Moving forward, we intend to leverage our technology, innovation, and best practices, to continue leading the console gaming headset business through our Recon, Stealth and Elite products, with equal focus and energy behind our new Atlas line that’s built for PC gamers.” Stark continued
“As a player and as a team; it’s a privilege to have worked with Turtle Beach in the making of the Elite Atlas; and the rest of their new Atlas line. We tested and provided a lot of feedback and suggestions during the development process; in an effort to ensure the Elite Atlas is the best possible headset for PC esports pros; but also for any PC gamers. We’re excited to be a part of the whole process and can’t wait; until gamers can get Turtle Beach’s Atlas headsets.”
said Nicolai “dev1ce” Reedtz of Astralis.
“The continued rise of esports has put tremendous pressure on organisations; to deliver exceptionally high audio quality. Turtle Beach continues to deliver pro-level audio for the competitive gamer, and the Atlas PC headsets provide a reliable lineup of top-tier audio performance; for the aspiring, established, and experienced esports athlete.”
said Ryan Musselman, SVP of Global Partnerships, Infinite Esports & Entertainment.
