As a leading gaming headset and audio accessory brand, Turtle Beach needs to stay ahead in this constantly evolving market. In gaming, being compatible with all the leading gaming consoles, plus personal computers and mobile devices is certainly an advantage, but not an easy requirement to fulfill. With the latest Recon 500, the Turtle Beach engineering team did just that, expanding the company’s popular Recon line of gaming headsets, with a new flagship model.
The Recon 500 debuts Turtle Beach’s patented, first-of-their-kind 60mm Eclipse Dual Drivers, a new coaxially mounted design using dedicated woofers and tweeters in each earcup, which is able to produce a massive soundstage for gamers to immerse themselves. Combined with Turtle Beach’s AccuTune wood composite-injection technology, the Recon 500 design is able to deliver unprecedented sound quality at a very affordable price.
Turtle Beach’s all-new, patented 60mm Eclipse Dual Drivers separate high and low frequency bands with a carefully tuned crossover area that is able to provide ultra-detailed gaming audio. The Recon 500’s wood composite earcups are precision-engineered, lending to enhanced acoustics for realistic sound imaging. For comfort, soft memory foam cushions wrapped in highly breathable athletic fabric surround the Recon 500’s powerful drivers, allowing gamers to stay cool in the heat of battle. The adjustable, metal-reinforced headband is built to last, while still being lightweight and flexible. For gamers with spectacles, Turtle Beach’s patented ProSpecs glasses-friendly design adds further comfort.
The Recon 500 also features Turtle Beach’s TruSpeak noise-cancelling microphone, while the memory foam cushions and a lightweight frame deliver improved comfort. The removable TruSpeak noise-cancelling mic delivers reliable, clear, pro-level communication with teammates and other players, and on-ear controls put Volume and Mic Mute right within reach when you need it. The headset features a standard 3.5mm audio interface for multiplatform connectivity with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, PC, and compatible mobile devices.
With this level of sound performance, comfort, and build quality for a MSRP of $79.95, Turtle Beach expects the Recon 500 to quickly become a top choice for gamers. “Our patented Eclipse Dual Drivers once again deliver industry-leading audio performance that makes the Recon 500 one of the best sounding headsets gamers can buy,” says Juergen Stark, Chairman and CEO, Turtle Beach Corporation. “The Recon 500’s groundbreaking technology, multiplatform connectivity, and affordable price set a new bar for what gamers should expect in an $80 headset and make it a great choice for players looking to elevate their gaming audio experience.”
