    <title>Ear Force PX21 Universal Gaming Headset from Turtle Beach Takes PlayStation3, XBOX 360 and PC Gaming to New Levels</title>
    <description>
      <![CDATA[ 
<p>Turtle Beach, a world-leader in gaming headsets, has extended its reach into the universal gaming headset arena with the introduction of the Ear Force PX21 gaming headset for the PlayStation 3, XBOX 360 and PC/Mac® gaming platforms. By integrating premium stereo game sound with crystal-clear communication on the PlayStation Network (PSN), XBOX LIVE® and PC/Mac platforms, the PX21 creates the definitive audio environment for playing popular PS3™, XBOX® and PC titles such as Call of Duty® Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Assassin’s Creed II and Guitar Hero®.</p>

 <p>“The P21 has been extremely popular with the PS3 gaming community, resulting in tremendous interest from gamers who wanted the same features on the XBOX 360. In response to this demand, we transformed the P21 into the PX21—an improved version that adds XBOX LIVE chat and other enhancements for the same price as the original P21.” says Peter Ronick, Director of Marketing. “The PX21 is essentially two headsets in one—a stereo USB headset for mic communication and an amplified stereo headset for game sound. That means you can independently control chat and game sound from a single control unit regardless of the platform. Whether you’re playing PS3, XBOX or PC games, the PX21 delivers high quality game audio, clear communications and unique features for a competitive edge that can make the difference between winning and losing—all at an affordable price.” </p> 

<p>Visually compatible with the PS3, the PX21 sports a slick, glossy-black design with curves and elements that compliment the PS3 motif. Larger, more comfortable ear cups detailed with a chrome ring, helps to differentiate the new model from its predecessor. Like the P21, the PX21 includes unique features for enhanced comfort and convenience during extended game play. The rugged design is exceptionally lightweight, for comfortable wear during long play sessions.</p>

<p>The PX21 incorporates many of the features found in the popular Turtle Beach Ear Force XBOX 360 headsets, including:</p>

	<p>Stereo USB audio channel provides separate controls for PSN chat or PC stereo audio.</p>
    
	<p>Deep fabric-mesh ear cushions sit comfortably around the ears to block out distractions</p>
    
	<p>Twist-style ear cups rotate to lay flat on the shoulders when taking a break from the game. </p>
    
	<p>An extra-long 16-foot cable allows freedom to move around the room while playing and a convenient belt clip secures the in-line amplifier so it stays out of the way.</p>

	<p>Independent volume controls for game and voice signals make it easy to balance USB chat and stereo game sounds.</p>

	<p>Variable bass boost control makes explosions, gun shots and other deep-bass effects more dramatic by allowing the user to adjust the impact of low frequencies as desired.</p>

	<p>Proprietary Chat Boost™ feature automatically increases chat levels during loud gaming sequences, so online communication from teammates isn’t drowned out.</p>

	<p>Stereo Expander spreads the stereo signal for increased depth in the sound field.</p>

	<p>A microphone with rugged, oversized, flexible boom accurately reproduces the gamer’s voice while keeping out unwanted ambient noise.</p>

	<p>A microphone monitor keeps gamers from raising their voices louder than necessary and avoids the “under water” feeling that results when you can’t hear yourself speak.</p>

	<p>Premium sound is delivered by acoustically tuned ear cups, wide-bandwidth 40mm speaker drivers with high-density magnets and DC-coupled amplifiers for low distortion.</p>

	<p>Compatible with XBOX LIVE, PSN chat and PC online chat.</p>

	<p>3.5mm plug for direct connection to PC or Mac without an optional adapter cable.</p>


<p>The Ear Force PX21 headset has an MSRP of $79.95 and will be available at major US retailers including Best Buy, GameStop, Amazon, Newegg and at major Canadian retailers including Best Buy Canada and Future Shop, as well as from the Turtle Beach web site www.turtlebeach.com. Turtle Beach Ear Force headsets are distributed in Europe by Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. (AMEX/TSX: MCZ   www.madcatz.com.)</p>

    <title>Turtle Beach Announces Ear Force X11 Headset for XBOX 360 and PC Gaming</title>
    <description>
      <![CDATA[ 
<p>Turtle Beach, the leaders in XBOX 360 gaming headsets, today announced its new Ear Force X11 stereo gaming headset for the XBOX 360 and PC gaming. Featuring vastly improved sound quality and an enhanced ergonomic design, the X11 embodies an attention to detail that characterizes the entire line of Ear Force headsets from Turtle Beach, making it ideal for playing popular XBOX® titles such as Battlefield Bad Company™ 2, Mass Effect 2, Bioshock 2™, Call of Duty® Modern Warfare® 2, HALO® 3, Left 4 Dead® 2, Assassin’s Creed II, and Guitar Hero®.</p>

 <p>“The X1 has been the XBOX gaming community’s favorite stereo headset for more than 3 years.” says Peter Ronick, Director of Marketing. “There is no other stereo gaming headset more widely used by XBOX 360 gamers than the X1—arguably the best-selling stereo XBOX gaming headset of all time. Now, the torch has been passed to the X11, a successor that might prove to be even more popular with an improved look, enhanced sound quality and comfort features at the same affordable price.” </p> 

<p>Visually compatible with the Ear Force X31 and X41 wireless headsets, the X11 sports a black and white design motif with circum-aural ear cups, a deep-cushioned headband and long, adjustable boom mic. For added comfort, the ear cups have been made larger with deep fabric-mesh cushions that sit comfortably around the ears, allowing for enhanced game play for longer periods of time.  An extra-long 16-foot cable makes it easy to move around the room while playing XBOX games. Features include:</p>
    
	<p>Independent volume controls for game and voice signals to balance XBOX LIVE® chat and stereo game sound.</p>
    
	<p>Large, acoustically-tuned ear cups with 40mm drivers produce superior audio with deep bass for all types of games, digital music, and entertainment.</p>
    
	<p>Integrated bass-boost makes explosions, gun shots and other deep-bass effects more dramatic by increasing the impact of low frequency sound cues.</p>
    
	<p>DC-coupled amplifiers provide super-wide bandwidth down to 0Hz while eliminating the distortion caused by speaker-coupling capacitors.</p>

	<p>A microphone with a rugged, oversized, flexible boom accurately reproduces the gamer’s voice during chat sessions.</p>

	<p>A microphone monitor keeps gamers from raising their voices louder than necessary and avoids the “under water” feeling that results when you can’t hear yourself speak.</p>


<p>While designed for the XBOX, the Ear Force X11 can also be used as a PC headset by virtue of its independent 3.5mm microphone and line audio plugs.</p>
 
<p>The Ear Force X11 headset has an MSRP of $59.95 and will be available at major US retailers including Best Buy, GameStop, Wal-Mart, Amazon, Newegg and at major Canadian retailers including Best Buy Canada and Future Shop, as well as from the Turtle Beach web site www.turtlebeach.com. Turtle Beach Ear Force headsets are distributed in Europe by Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. (AMEX/TSX: MCZ www.madcatz.com.)</p>

    <title>Turtle Beach Announces Audio Advantage Amigo II and Micro II USB Sound Cards for Mac and Windows PCs</title>
    <description>
      <![CDATA[ 
<p>Turtle Beach, a pioneer in digital audio and gaming headphone technology, today announced the latest addition to its Audio Advantage product line, the Amigo II and Micro II USB audio adapters. Designed for Mac and PC, the Amigo II and Micro II are inexpensive, easy to use and deliver a rich audio experience in a package that is about the size of a USB memory stick.</p>

This makes Amigo ideal for converting a standard analog headset into is USB headset for voice communications programs such as Ventrilo and Skype.</p>
<p>The Micro II USB sound card adds a stereo line output and an optical digital audio output to a Mac or PC. The stereo output can be used for connecting powered speakers, headphones or an external recording device. The S/PDIF digital optical output connects a notebook or desktop PC to home theater systems, allowing pass through of 5.1 channel Dolby® Digital or DTS surround sound. This makes it ideal for enjoying DVD or streaming digital movies on your notebook while listening to immersive Dolby surround sound on your home theater system.</p>
<p>The Amigo and Micro each offer significant benefits for PC and laptop users who want improved sound quality without a lot of hassle, at a price that is hard to beat. They are both incredibly simple to use. Just plug them into a USB port and you are ready to go... said Peter Ronick, Director of Marketing.</p> 
<p>Both the Amigo II and Micro II work with Mac or Windows PCs without the need for external power adapters, special drivers or software.
