# Turtle Beach

> Turtle Beach is a publicly traded gaming-accessories company that grew from audio technology roots into the leading U.S. console-headset brand, then pushed into controllers, keyboards, mice, microphones, flight and racing simulation gear. Its current bet is that a recognizable headset name, a deep patent portfolio, platform licenses and the 2024 acquisition of PDP can turn a focused audio business into a broad shelf-space competitor to Logitech, Razer, Corsair and first-party console hardware.
