[3][4] The company's first product was a graphical editing system that supported the breakthrough Ensoniq Mirage sampling keyboard.

The Mirage was the first low cost sampling device that allowed musicians to play realistic choirs, pianos, horns, and other instruments in their performances.

Ensoniq decided to resell Vision through their dealer network and Turtle Beach Softworks became a profitable company.

[5] In 1988, Turtle Beach began to work on developing its first hardware product, a hard disk–based audio editing system.

[13] As Voyetra Turtle Beach, the company sold millions of sound cards to Dell in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

[15] By 2007, Voyetra Turtle Beach had released several headset models including those that were wireless[16] and those that had surround sound capability.

Turtle Beach released its first pair of headphones designed specifically for the PlayStation 3 (Ear Force P21) in 2009.

[22][23] In 2013, Turtle Beach began working on a deal that would eventually see them merge with the San Diego–based audio technology manufacturer, Parametric Sound Corporation, in January 2014.

[3] Parametric's "UltraSound" technology, which uses speakers to direct sounds only to specific areas, also came under the purview of Turtle Beach.

[45] Turtle Beach acquired Performance Designed Products (PDP), a controller manufacturer, for $118 million on March 13, 2024.

[47] It initially began releasing headsets for PCs[17] and consoles of that generation including the Xbox 360, Wii, and the PlayStation 3.

[17][16][18] Turtle Beach headsets are generally cross-compatible between current-generation consoles like the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PCs, as well as most mobile and tablet devices.

Stealth products add premium features like wireless connectivity, surround sound, larger speakers, memory foam, etc.

[37] The newest series, Battle Buds, is a set of gaming earbuds designed to be compatible with mobile devices along with PCs and all consoles.

Its card, 56K-PC, was based on a Motorola 56000 DSP chip, and offered non linear playlist editing of stereo audio files.

[54] The device enjoyed considerable success in the first year of its release, but was soon faced with tremendous competition from similar products.
