Turtle Beach, a global leader in gaming audio, today unveiled the all-new Recon 70 – the Company’s latest series of powerful and affordable wired gaming headsets, and the successor to the Turtle Beach’s Recon 50. The Recon 70 is built to give gamers the advantage they need on any battlefield, on any platform. Available for a MSRP of €34.99, the Recon 70 delivers high-quality game audio through powerful 40mm over-ear speakers and features Turtle Beach’s signature high-sensitivity flip-to-mute mic. The Recon 70’s lightweight design includes a padded and adjustable headband, while synthetic leather-wrapped ear cushions provide unmatched comfort so players can focus on the match and secure that win.
The Recon 70 for Nintendo Switch™, with its signature red accents, is available now at www.turtlebeach.com and at participating retailers in North America. Additionally, black and white models of the Recon 70 for Xbox One and PlayStation®4 will be available in North America starting May 1, 2019, with pre-orders available now at www.turtlebeach.com. Also available on May 1, 2019 will be a midnight red version of the Recon 70 for PS4™.
In Europe, the Recon 70 for Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch will be available from April 1, 2019. The midnight red version of the Recon 70 will be for the Nintendo Switch and will launch at retail at the end of May 2019. Pre-orders for these models also available now on www.turtlebeach.com.
“The Recon 50 has been the best-selling wired gaming headset in the U.S. and Canada for the past two years*, and the all-new Recon 70 builds upon its predecessor with a refined design and our great flip-to-mute mic, all for the same €34.99 price,” said Juergen Stark, CEO, Turtle Beach. “The Recon 70 is also available in more colour options and is compatible with all gaming systems, so we believe we’ll see the Recon 70 continue the Recon 50’s trend of ‘best-seller’ with enough time in the market.”
With today’s longer and longer gaming sessions becoming the new normal, the need for superior audio, crystal-clear communication, and lightweight comfort is larger than ever, and the Recon 70 delivers it all. Key features include:
LIGHTWEIGHT COMFORT
A lightweight headset design ensures complete comfort during those hours-long gaming sessions featuring a padded headband and ear cushions.
FLIP-UP MIC
Turtle Beach’s renowned high-sensitivity mic picks up your voice loud and clear to ensure your commands are always heard. Previously available on higher-end headset models, the mic can be flipped up out of the way to mute when not in use, and blends into the headset’s design.
HIGH-QUALITY 40MM SPEAKERS
Superior 40mm over-ear speakers deliver amazing game sound so you hear every crisp high and thundering low.
PREMIUM EAR CUSHIONS
Synthetic leather-wrapped ear cushions provide added comfort, improved bass response and better noise-isolation.
MULTIPLATFORM COMPATIBILITY
Designed for the Nintendo Switch and also works great with Xbox One, PS4 Pro & PS4, PC, and mobile devices with a 3.5mm connection.
