Gaming accessory brand Turtle Beach has announced a new partnership with Oakley, a sports performance leader and optical innovation leader.
Oakley continues expanding its lineup of eyewear developed for gamers who share a passion for performance. The new partnership pairs Turtle Beach’s expertise in creating high-quality, glasses-friendly gaming headsets with Oakley’s quest for optimized vision and
performance in a collection designed to help gamers see better, hear better, and conquer their opponents.
The partnership launches with a collaborative Oakley x Turtle Beach Collection featuring Oakley’s Prizm Gaming Lens Technology that delivers next-level performance benefits for digital gaming by reducing eye strain and fatigue.
The result is a purpose-inspired collection that provides vision benefits while fitting seamlessly with Turtle Beach’s bestselling gaming headsets featuring the brand’s patented ProSpecs glasses-friendly technology for unmatched comfort.
“Turtle Beach and Oakley have been collaborating behind-the-scenes for several years to bring the best eyewear in gaming to market, leveraging Turtle Beach’s experience in gaming and esports to help develop a product that gives a competitive edge to gamers of
all skill levels,” said Ryan Dell, SVP of Global Marketing at Turtle Beach.
“With Oakley’s groundbreaking gaming eyewear and our high-performance gaming audio, we continue to strive for ways to advance glasses-friendly comfort and the overall gaming experience. We’re also exploring other areas where Turtle Beach and Oakley may be able to do more together to improve gaming performance, including collaborating on materials technologies, product design, merch, apparel, and more.”
The initial Oakley x Turtle Beach Collection includes two products. First, the Metalink RX frames come in a black and grey colourway and feature Turtle Beach’s iconic logo on the temple.
The Metalink RX frames feature headset-compatible temples to ensure they stay in place even in the most intense gaming sessions and come with a custom Turtle Beach logo micro bag.
Gamers who wear glasses can purchase the frames from Oakley.com, and Oakley will create custom Prizm Gaming Lenses based on their
prescription.
“As Oakley moves further into gaming, partnering with Turtle Beach is a natural fit as both brands are leaders and innovators in two key areas of gaming performance – sight and sound,” said Caio Amato, Oakley Global Marketing Director.
“We’ve now harnessed the momentum gained after releasing Prizm™ Gaming Lens Technology, our first optical solution developed specifically for gaming, to combine the performance-focused benefits you expect to find in a pair of Oakley frames with headset-compatible design. The resulting products bridge the gap between physical and digital gaming while setting up players for victory in their gaming pursuits.”
Oakley and Turtle Beach have also designed a limited-edition set of Frogskins Lite sunglasses. The newest evolution of Oakley’s most iconic lifestyle eyewear, the Frogskins Lite sunglasses feature a throwback Turtle Beach colour scheme, plus Oakley’s Prizm Ruby Iridium Lenses and a rainbow gradient Oakley logo and Turtle Beach logo on the temple.
The sunglasses also come with a custom Turtle Beach logo micro bag.
The limited-edition Oakley x Turtle Beach Collection is available for purchase online at both Oakley and Turtle Beach.
