Turtle Beach (NASDAQ: HEAR), a global leader in gaming accessories and best-selling console gaming audio brand, today unveiled the newly redesigned Recon 200 Gen 2 multiplatform gaming headset. The wired Recon 200 Gen 2 headset delivers powerful, amplified game audio on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch, as well as on compatible PC and mobile platforms with a 3.5mm jack. Successor to the original Recon 200, the Gen 2 model offers gamers more features and functionality for the same $59.95 MSRP, including Variable Mic Monitoring, ProSpecs glasses-friendly technology, softer memory foam cushions, a new headband with added rigidity, and the ability to work in passive mode. The Recon 200's sound is driven by 40 mm speakers with enhanced Bass Boost to deliver immersive, detailed game audio that supports the available spatial surround sound technologies like Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos or DTS Headphone: X1, and Sony 3D Audio. The Recon 200 Gen 2 comes in black, white, and an all-new midnight blue color, and is available for pre-order starting today and participating retailers worldwide. The Recon 200 Gen 2 launches September 19, 2021.

"At $59.95 gamers won't find another headset that offers the powerful amplified game audio and features to compete with what the Recon 200 Gen 2 brings to the table," said Juergen Stark, Chairman and CEO, Turtle Beach Corporation. "There was already so much for gamers to like about the original Recon 200, and the Gen 2 offering is even stronger with its updated design and added features, all for the same great MSRP that made the original so attractive. The Gen 2's combination of audio performance, comfort, and multiplatform compatibility should put it at the top of the list for gamers seeking a new affordable headset."



The Recon 200 Gen 2's 12-hour battery and powerful 40 mm speakers offer a booming, amplified soundstage enhanced by features including Bass Boost for deep lows, and Variable Mic Monitoring so gamers can hear the volume of their voice in the headset to avoid shouting. Additionally, if 12-hours of gaming happens to run out mid-match, the Recon 200 Gen 2 is built to keep going without power in a passive mode that delivers basic headset functionality so you can play through to victory without stopping.

Whether chatting with teammates or trash-talking the enemy, the Recon 200 Gen 2's high-sensitivity flip-to-mute mic captures all communications loud and clear. Gamers will also feel the Recon 200 Gen 2's redesigned comfort with ultra-soft memory foam ear cushions and ProSpecs glasses-friendly technology, wrapped in athletic fabric to keep ears cool and senses sharp. Additionally, the reinforced metal headband returns in the Gen 2 with enhanced styling and added rigidity, while maintaining its lightweight and flexible structure. With a simple flip of a switch, the Recon 200 Gen 2 works with Xbox or PlayStation consoles, and more.

That for sure, but I was also thinking "Buddha Box". :roll:
Oh, I can't thank you enough! :respect: I stopped watching the franchise back around the late 1990s and then refused to let my children watch it ... they disobey and watch it anyway.

The reference will now allow me to take the clever Dick attribute to a new level with some genius forum members. I'm going to buy a Lotto ticket ($8m AUD tonight). Five stars and now Buddha Box.
:clap::roll::peace::toast:
The force is strong with this young (@60yo) padawan ...

They actually toned it down quite a bit; especially the newer stuff & some of their characters(i.e. Cartman). There's a lot worse on Adult Swim iirc, like Squid Billies, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and I think Robot Chicken is still aired.
