Turtle Beach Corporation revealed to us at StG today two new models for its 2017 lineup of acclaimed gaming headsets for Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Similar in style to the company’s best-selling XO FOUR STEALTH, the new XO THREE officially licensed gaming headset for Xbox One and RECON 150 offer the same rugged and robust design as their predecessor, with large 50mm speakers and Turtle Beach’s renowned high-sensitivity mic to deliver the unbeatable game and chat audio needed to secure victory on the multiplayer battlefield.
The XO THREE and RECON 150 are planned to launch at participating retailers this Australian winter with local pricing still to be confirmed.
Additionally, last month Turtle Beach redefined what gamers should expect from a chat headset with the all-new RECON CHAT for Xbox One and PS4, which are now available globally at participating retail outlets.
