June 09, 2010 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
Elmsford, N.Y., June 9, 2010 – Turtle Beach, a leader in premium gaming headsets and audio entertainment accessories, announced today that it will seek out and actively promote outstanding examples of immersive in-game audio, starting with new releases debuting at this year's E3 2010. Gaming fans will get to witness the onsite adventures of Turtle Beach's how-to and viral video star Matt Romano as he visits with publishers in their booths at E3 2010, in search of the latest console and PC games that feature the best sound effects. Matt will be armed with one of Turtle Beach's hottest setups – Turtle Beach Ear Force PX21 headphones running through the new Turtle Beach Ear Force® DSS 7.1/5.1 Dolby digital surround sound processor. At the E3 show, Matt will look to "plug in" directly to publishers' XBOX 360®, PlayStation® 3 or PC demo stations and immerse himself into the very best in-game, digital surround sound audio experiences he can find. His E3 video exploits will be posted online at Turtle Beach's new website and on the Turtle Beach YouTube channel for fans to check out, share and comment on.
"No other headphone company has the legacy and expertise in gaming audio that we have." commented Turtle Beach Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, Michael Arzt. "Our state-of-the-art headphones and accessories have put more people inside more of the world's top game titles than any other brand, elevating the experience to new levels of hyper-realism. Top game developers work overtime to perfect their audio tracks and environmental cues, and Turtle Beach products maximize these experiences, making them truly exceptional. E3 represents a great opportunity for us to turn the attention back on them in a fun and relevant way and give our mutual fans some guidance for choosing both great playing AND great sounding games to buy and play."
