In an exciting development for gaming enthusiasts, Turtle Beach Corporation and Performance Designed Products LLC (PDP) have unveiled their latest innovation in gaming accessories – the Afterglow Wave series. This new line of products promises to enhance the gaming experience with cutting-edge technology, superior audio quality, and eye-catching RGB lighting effects.

Afterglow Wave Wireless Headset: A New Era of Gaming Audio

The star of the show is undoubtedly the Afterglow Wave Wireless Headset, designed specifically for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows 10/11 PCs. This headset is not just about looks; it’s a powerhouse of audio performance. Equipped with large 50mm drivers, it delivers crisp highs and booming lows, creating an immersive audio experience that puts gamers right in the heart of the action.

One of the standout features of the Afterglow Wave Wireless Headset is its flip-to-mute microphone. This noise-cancelling mic ensures clear communication with teammates, crucial for coordinated gameplay. When privacy is needed, the mic can be quickly flipped up, instantly muting it – a convenient feature for gamers who need to switch between in-game chat and real-world conversations seamlessly.

Comfort is key for long gaming sessions, and PDP has not overlooked this aspect. The headset boasts soft, memory foam cushions that allow gamers to play for hours without discomfort. On-ear volume controls add to the convenience, enabling quick adjustments without interrupting the game.

RGB Lighting: The Afterglow Effect

What sets the Afterglow Wave series apart is its spectacular RGB lighting. The wireless headset features customizable RGB lighting that puts on a captivating show. But it’s not just about aesthetics; the RGB lighting is fully customizable, allowing gamers to express their personal style.

Billy Brisebois, PDP Marketing Manager at Turtle Beach Corporation, emphasizes the excitement around this feature: “We’re excited to expand our Afterglow RGB technology to new, additional products so fans can really glow-up their gaming space. With millions of RGB color combinations at their disposal through the free PDP Control Hub app, gamers can customize their RGB light show across the Afterglow Wave headset, controller, and even their charging station.”

This level of customization is made possible through the free PDP Control Hub app. Gamers can use this app to access deeper customization options, creating a unique lighting setup that matches their mood or game atmosphere.

Expanding the Afterglow Wave Family

The Afterglow Wave series isn’t limited to just headsets. PDP has also announced the launch of the Afterglow Wave Wireless Controller with Motion for the Nintendo Switch system. This new addition to the Afterglow Wave product family allows Nintendo Switch gamers to elevate their controller experience with customizable RGB lighting, wireless connectivity, and motion controls.

The Afterglow Wave Wireless Controller with Motion comes in four stylish colorways: black, blue, purple, and white. It features eight customizable RGB LED lighting zones and four pre-set lighting modes, allowing for an unprecedented level of personalization. The controller also includes programmable back buttons, adding an extra layer of customization to gameplay.

In a first for the series, the wireless version of the controller includes built-in motion sensors. This feature opens up new possibilities for gameplay, especially in games that take advantage of motion controls. With a 30-foot wireless range and a 20-hour rechargeable battery, this controller offers both freedom of movement and extended play sessions.

Options for Every Gamer

Understanding that different gamers have different preferences, PDP is offering both wireless and wired versions of the Afterglow Wave Controller. The wireless version, priced at $54.99/£49.99/€59.99 MSRP, is available now. For those who prefer a wired connection, the Afterglow Wave Wired Controller is set to launch on October 28, 2024, at a more budget-friendly price point of $24.99/£24.99/€34.99 MSRP.

Both the wireless and wired versions of the Afterglow Wave Controller are officially licensed by Nintendo, ensuring full compatibility with the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, and Nintendo Switch – OLED Model systems.

The launch of the Afterglow Wave series represents a significant step forward in gaming accessory design. By combining high-performance audio, comfortable design, and customizable RGB lighting, Turtle Beach and PDP have created a line of products that cater to both the functional and aesthetic desires of modern gamers.
