Headsets for Nintendo Switch: comfort meets sound quality
Turtle Beach is expanding its officially licensed headsets for the Nintendo Switch with two new models: the Recon 70 and the Airlite Fit. Both models rely on 40 mm drivers that guarantee clear highs and rich bass – perfect for immersive adventures in “The Legend of Zelda” or fast-paced laps in “Mario Kart”.
The Recon 70 is aimed at gamers who value classic over-ear comfort construction and precise voice chat. With imitation leather pads and a foldable microphone, it offers everything you need for longer gaming sessions. For €34.99, this model is a solid choice for beginners and ambitious gamers alike.
The Airlite Fit makes it even lighter and more comfortable. Jersey fabric ear pads, a comfortable design and three color options make this headset not only a pleasure to listen to, but also a stylish accessory. The noise-canceling feature ensures distraction-free gaming, while the foldable microphone offers flexibility. With a price tag of €24.99, the Airlite Fit offers excellent value for money.
Wireless Nintendo controllers with retro charm
With the Rematch Invincible Mario and the Rematch Super Mario Star, Turtle Beach is launching two wireless controllers for the Switch that not only catch the eye with their glow-in-the-dark design. They also offer motion control, two freely assignable buttons and a wireless range of up to nine meters.
What is particularly impressive, however, is the battery life of up to 40 hours – a real plus for long gaming sessions. The controllers are decorated with classic Nintendo motifs, which makes them particularly attractive for retro fans. With an RRP of €59.99, these models position themselves as a premium option for Nintendo enthusiasts who value aesthetics as well as function.
Next-level controller for Xbox and PC
Turtle Beach has also made significant upgrades for Xbox gamers and PC users. With the Afterglow Wave RGB controller and the Rematch Core Wired controller, two new models have been released that score highly in terms of functionality and adaptability.
The Afterglow Wave stands out visually thanks to its intelligent RGB lighting with eight individually adjustable zones. Technically, it impresses with reverb effect triggers, assignable buttons and Turtle Beach’s patented audio control. Thanks to the Control Hub app, the controller can be extensively configured – from button assignment to diagnostics. For €44.99, the Afterglow Wave offers a host of features for demanding players.
The Rematch Core is slightly cheaper, but no less powerful. With its ergonomic design, precise feedback via impulse triggers and robust USB-C connection, it offers everything you need for competitive gameplay. The five color variants – including three semi-transparent Ghost Black versions – also set visual accents. For €29.99, this controller is a strong alternative in the mid-price segment.
Conclusion: Great variety for different requirements
With this extensive range of accessories, Turtle Beach shows that innovation, functionality and design do not have to be a contradiction in terms. Whether wireless controllers with retro charm or sophisticated headsets for hours of comfort – there is something for almost every type of gamer. All 16 new products are now available for pre-order and will be officially released on May 18, 2025. If you’re looking for reliable and stylish gaming accessories, you should definitely keep an eye on the new models. Further details can be found on the official homepage.
