FaZe Clan CEO Thomas "Temperrr" Oliveira added, "We've been exploring options for a gaming audio partner for a while now, and Turtle Beach's Elite Pro simply blew us away when they brought it out to show both our Call of Duty and Counter Strike: Global Offensive teams. The headset itself sounds great and is super comfortable to wear, and when combined with the Elite Pro T.A.C. and Tournament Noise-Cancelling Microphone it's the best professional gaming audio setup around, and one that every top gamer should have."

Turtle Beach's all-new Elite Pro line defines the future of eSports gaming audio equipment. The Elite Pro Headset's journey began in 2013. Seeing the consistent growth and popularity of eSports, Turtle Beach launched a comprehensive scientific research program to deeply examine the needs of professional and hardcore gamers as it pertained to game audio, communicating with teammates, and overall comfort. The result is the all-new Elite Pro Tournament Gaming Headset – a ground-up redesign of the competitive gaming headset that brings to market multiple first-and-only innovations in the core mechanics of headset design, weight and fit. Not only does the Elite Pro Headset provide Turtle Beach's best-in-class game audio and chat performance, but also delivers groundbreaking comfort-driven technologies, including the ComforTec™ Fit System with multiple adjustment points for a truly personalized headset fit and feel, Aerofit™ Ear Cushions that stay cool in the heat of battle, and Turtle Beach's all-new patented ProSpecs™ Glasses Relief System that finally makes wearing a gaming headset comfortable for players who wear glasses.

Additionally, the Elite Pro T.A.C. is the most powerful audio controller ever designed for eSports, combining cutting-edge audio technology like DTS™ Headphone:X 7.1 Surround Sound and Superhuman Hearing™ with incredibly powerful chat and microphone tuning tools, giving eSports athletes everything they need to win. The Elite Pro Headset, T.A.C. and accessories are planned to launch globally on June 12, 2016, and are currently available for pre-order at participating retail outlets worldwide.
