Turtle Beach introduces headsets designed for console that elevate the sound experience for more than gaming

Turtle Beach,the leading audio brand in the games industry, releases its new high-end wireless headsets in the U.K. The Ear Force XP510 and the Ear Force PX51 for Xbox 360® and PlayStation® 3 expand Turtle Beach’s high-end range for wireless gaming and are available today.

These two models represent the evolution of a new breed of wireless gaming headset that serves as the ultimate “secret weapon” in the arsenal of gamers, but also offers film and music fans unmatched audio quality. Game consoles are in more than fifty percent of homes and have increased access to entertainment content, such as TV programmes1.

Built in, dual pairing Bluetooth also offers the opportunity to take phone calls or stream music from a mobile phone or other Bluetooth device.

“As the console has evolved from a dedicated video game platform to a home entertainment hub, our headsets have evolved as well,” said David Roberton, Vice President of International Marketing at Turtle Beach. “We know consumers will love the versatility of these wireless headsets, which gracefully transition from gaming, to movies, to music and even to online chat and voice calls.”

Powered by a rechargeable battery with a 15 hour lifespan, the Ear Force XP510 and PX51 deliver signal processed sound for uncompromised audio across any entertainment scenario. Both headsets also feature Turtle Beach’s proprietary digital signal processor (DSP), Dolby® Digital surround sound and Dual Band Wi-Fi for an interference-free connection.
