SAN DIEGO and FOOTHILL
RANCH, Calif., Jan. 28, 2021
/PRNewswire/ -- Leading gaming accessory brand Turtle Beach
(Nasdaq: HEAR) today announced a new partnership with Oakley®, a leader in sport
performance and optical innovation. As a brand rooted in
competition, Oakley continues
expanding its lineup of eyewear developed for gamers who share a
passion for performance. The new partnership pairs Turtle Beach's
expertise in creating high-quality, glasses-friendly gaming
headsets with Oakley's quest for
optimized vision and performance in a collection designed to help
gamers see better, hear better, and conquer their opponents.
The partnership launches with a collaborative Oakley x Turtle
Beach Collection featuring Oakley's Prizm™ Gaming Lens Technology that
delivers next-level performance benefits for digital gaming by
reducing eyestrain and fatigue. The result is a purpose-inspired
collection that provides vision benefits while fitting seamlessly
with Turtle Beach's best-selling gaming headsets featuring the
brand's patented ProSpecs™ glasses-friendly technology for
unmatched comfort.
"Turtle Beach and Oakley have
been collaborating behind-the-scenes for several years to bring the
best eyewear in gaming to market, leveraging Turtle Beach's
experience in gaming and esports to help develop a product that
gives a competitive edge to gamers of all skill levels," said
Ryan Dell, SVP of Global Marketing
at Turtle Beach. "With Oakley's groundbreaking gaming eyewear and
our high-performance gaming audio, we continue to strive for ways
to advance glasses-friendly comfort and the overall gaming
experience. We're also exploring other areas where Turtle Beach and
Oakley may be able to do more
together to further improve gaming performance, including
collaborating on materials technologies, product design, merch,
apparel, and more."
The initial Oakley x Turtle
Beach Collection includes two products. First, the Metalink RX
frames, which come in a black and grey colorway and feature Turtle
Beach's iconic logo on the temple. The Metalink RX frames feature
headset-compatible temples to ensure they stay in place even in the
most intense gaming sessions, and come with a custom Turtle Beach
logo microbag. Gamers who wear glasses can purchase the frames from
Oakley.com, and Oakley will create
custom Prizm™ Gaming Lenses based on their prescription.
"As Oakley moves further into gaming, partnering with Turtle
Beach is a natural fit as both brands are leaders and innovators in
two key areas of gaming performance – sight and sound," said
Caio Amato, Oakley Global Marketing
Director. "We've now harnessed the momentum gained after releasing
Prizm™ Gaming Lens Technology, our first optical solution developed
specifically for gaming, to combine the performance-focused
benefits you expect to find in a pair of Oakley frames with headset-compatible design.
The resulting products bridge the gap between physical and digital
gaming while setting up players for victory in their gaming
pursuits."
To further celebrate the new partnership, Oakley and Turtle Beach have also designed a
limited-edition set of Frogskins Lite sunglasses. The newest
evolution of Oakley's most iconic
lifestyle eyewear, the Frogskins Lite sunglasses feature a
throwback Turtle Beach color scheme, plus Oakley's Prizm™ Ruby Iridium Lenses, and a
rainbow gradient Oakley logo and
Turtle Beach logo on the temple. The sunglasses also come with a
custom Turtle Beach logo microbag.
The limited edition Oakley x
Turtle Beach Collection is available for purchase starting today
online at both Oakley and Turtle
Beach. For additional information on the latest Turtle Beach
products and accessories, visit www.turtlebeach.com and be sure to
