Turtle Beach’s headsets are thriving as part of the Fortnite boom

Fortnite is one of the biggest games in the world because it is bringing people together online, and that means a lot of new players are looking for audio headsets to help them communicate with their friends and family. This has led to a huge year-over-year jump in headset sales in the U.S., according to industry-tracking firm The NPD Group.

“Year-to-date sales of both headsets and gamepads have achieved all-time record highs,” NPD analyst Mat Piscatella said. “The previous year-to-date high spending for headsets occurred in 2011 and for gamepads in 2016.”
