A spokesman for Turtle Beach said:

"Audio is half the VR experience, and Turtle Beach’s Stealth 350VR headset takes VR gaming audio from good to amazing with features including large 50mm over-ear speakers, 30+ hour battery-powered amplification, accurate 3D surround sound reproduction, Variable Bass Boost, and a lightweight, ergonomic “built for VR” design that provides extra clearance for VR headbands and cables.

"There’s no other VR gaming headset that competes with the features, functionality and price of Turtle Beach’s Stealth 350VR, so if VR is something you’re looking at for the holidays, be sure to get the complete VR experience by having amazing audio."

They're the flagship earphones in this winter's latest range.But traditional gamers are also going to get some ear-blasting cans that are pushing the boundaries of video game sound.The new Stealth 520 and 420X gaming headsets feature a new mode called Superhuman Hearing.Turtle Beach claim the audio setting gives players the competitive advantage by allowing them to hear soft sounds like enemy footsteps sneaking-up from behind, or a nearby enemy reloading their weapon around a corner just before an ambush.

Perfect for anyone playing the new Call of Duty or Battlefield 1 release this winter.

"Holiday 2016 is here and Turtle Beach has our strongest and most expansive holiday product portfolio ever,” said Juergen Stark, CEO, Turtle Beach Corporation.“We continue to develop and deliver innovative products that provide gamers with cutting-edge features and fantastic gaming experiences with high-quality audio."This year we’ve added Superhuman Hearing to more Turtle Beach headsets so more players can immerse themselves in their games and gain a true competitive advantage through better audio, and now we’re also elevating the audio experience for gamers stepping into VR, as well as those looking to take their livestreaming to the next level.“For more information on the latest Turtle Beach products and accessories for the holidays, visit www.turtlebeach.com
