In true Turtle Beach form, the Company's new lineup includes a variety of high-quality headsets that deliver the most immersive and competitive gaming experience, with a range of features and price points catering to gamers' varied desires and budgets. E3 attendees will be among the first to check out the EAR FORCE® Stealth 420X - the Company's third officially licensed 100% fully wireless gaming headset designed for Xbox One, the EAR FORCE PX24 multiplatform gaming headset that comes with Turtle Beach's innovative EAR FORCE SuperAmp(TM) battery powered in-line amplifier, and the EAR FORCE Stealth 450 wireless PC gaming headset with premium features like Superhuman Hearing(TM) and DTS Headphone:X 7.1 Surround Sound. The Company's E3 lineup also includes new additions to its entry level EAR FORCE Recon series gaming headsets, each featuring a new lightweight and comfortable design and convenient in-line controls.

Additionally, Turtle Beach will be holding select demonstrations of its groundbreaking hearing healthcare device - HyperSound Clear(TM), which uses the Company's patented directional audio technology to deliver rich, 3D sound 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."

Stark continued, "We're also unveiling eight new high-quality gaming headsets with innovative features like the PX24's SuperAmp that delivers powerful sound from any connected device and adds features like surround sound and our amazing Superhuman Hearing capability. And I can't wait for people to experience HyperSound Clear, which we believe will change the way people with hearing loss and their family and friends enjoy the latest home entertainment when it launches later this year. Whether you have or know somebody with hearing loss or simply love to see the latest groundbreaking technology, there's nothing else like it available and you have to hear it to believe it."

In addition to its all-new lineup of gaming headsets, Turtle Beach Corporation will also be showing its groundbreaking HyperSound Clear hearing healthcare device. HyperSound technology is a fundamentally new approach to sound delivery that utilizes thin panels to generate an ultrasound beam that carries audio through the air. The panels direct sound in a narrow, controlled beam; much the way a flashlight directs a beam of light. When an individual enters the beam, they hear immersive 3D audio, similar to wearing a surround sound headset. HyperSound Clear speakers have been shown to improve sound clarity and speech intelligibility in individuals with hearing loss. Researchers estimate that one in five Americans, and one in three people over age 65, suffer from hearing loss. Impacting over 48 million Americans, hearing loss is the third most common chronic physical condition in the United States. An estimated 360 million people worldwide suffer from some form of hearing loss, and HyperSound Clear is on the verge of offering a new way for people with hearing loss to once again enjoy home entertainment.
