Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Background and Basis of Presentation	Background and Basis of Presentation
	Organization
	Turtle Beach Corporation (“Turtle Beach” or the “Company”), incorporated in the state of Nevada in 2010, merged with VTB Holdings, Inc. (“VTBH”) and its subsidiary, Voyetra Turtle Beach, Inc. (“VTB”), which is headquartered in Valhalla, New York and was incorporated in the state of Delaware in 1975, to form a premier audio innovation company with expertise and experience in developing, commercializing and marketing audio technologies across a range of large addressable markets under the Turtle Beach® and HyperSound® brands. Turtle Beach is a worldwide leading provider of feature-rich headset solutions for use across multiple platforms, including video game and entertainment consoles, handheld consoles, personal computers, Macintosh computers, tablets and mobile devices. HyperSound is a novel patent-protected sound delivery technology that delivers immersive, directional audio offering unique benefits in a variety of commercial and consumer audio devices.
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
	On January 15, 2014, VTBH, which operated the Turtle Beach business, completed the merger (the “Merger”) with the Company (f/k/a Parametric Sound Corporation (“Parametric,”) which operated the HyperSound business. For accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as a “reverse acquisition” and VTBH was considered the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, VTBH’s historical results of operations replace Parametric’s historical results for all periods prior to the Merger, and from the acquisition date forward the results of operations of both companies are included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire fiscal year.
	The December 31, 2014 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet has been derived from the Company's most recent audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K.
	These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2015 (“Annual Report”) that contains information useful to understanding the Company's businesses and financial statement presentations.
	Immaterial Correction of Statements of Cash Flows
	Subsequent to the issuance of its 2014 first quarter condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company determined that the amount for “Reversal of sales returns reserve” was incorrectly reported as an increase, rather than a reduction, in the reconciliation of Net income to Net cash provided by operating activities. This correction also impacted the line item “Accounts receivable,” but had no impact on total Net cash provided by operating activities. The Company has corrected the previously presented Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to present “Reversal of sales return reserve” as a reduction to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities and properly state the change in “Accounts receivable” as an increase of $21.1 million (previously reported as an increase of $18.6 million).

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	The preparation of consolidated annual and quarterly financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company can give no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.
	There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Note 1 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. On April 1, 2015, the FASB tentatively agreed to propose a one-year deferral of the effective date, but would permit all entities to adopt the standard as of the original effective date for public business entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, this new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method of adoption.
	In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurement	Fair Value Measurement
	The Company follows a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
	•	Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	•	Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
	•	Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
	Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, derivative instruments, credit facility and term loans. Cash equivalents are stated at amortized cost, which approximated fair value as of the consolidated balance sheet dates, due to the short period of time to maturity; and accounts receivable and accounts payable are stated at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short time to the expected receipt or payment. The credit facility and term loan are stated at the carrying value as the stated interest rate approximates market rates currently available to the Company, which are considered Level 2 inputs. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were no outstanding financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and the Company had not elected the fair value option for any financial assets and liabilities for which such an election would have been permitted.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
	At acquisition, the Company estimates and records the fair value of purchased intangible assets. The fair values of these intangible assets are estimated based on our assessment. Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill and certain other intangible assets having indefinite lives are not amortized to earnings, but instead are subject to periodic testing for impairment. Intangible assets determined to have definite lives are amortized over their remaining useful lives.
	We assess the impairment of long‑lived assets, intangibles assets and goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that full recoverability of net asset balances through future cash flows is in question. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed at least annually, but also whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying values may not be recoverable. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include: (a) significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results; (b) significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business; (c) significant negative industry or economic trends; (d) significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period; and (e) a decline in our market capitalization below net book value. No impairment indicators were noted in the first quarter of 2015 which would trigger the need for testing.

	In October 2012, VTB acquired Lygo International Limited, subsequently renamed TB Europe Ltd. The acquired intangible assets relating to customer relationships and non-compete agreements are being amortized over an estimated useful life of thirteen years and two years, respectively, with the amortization being included within sales and marketing expense.
	In January 2014, the Merger between VTBH and Turtle Beach (f/k/a Parametric) was completed. The acquired intangible assets relating to developed technology, customer relationships and trade name are subject to amortization. Developed technology is being amortized over an estimated economic useful life of approximately seven years with the amortization being included within cost of revenue. Customer relationships and trade name are being amortized over an estimated useful life of two years and five years, respectively, with the amortization being included within sales and marketing expense. In-process Research and Development (“IPR&D”) is considered an indefinite-lived intangible asset until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Accordingly, during the development period, the IPR&D is not amortized but rather subject to impairment review. As of March 31, 2015, no impairment indicators were noted.
	Amortization expense related to definite lived intangible assets of $0.2 million was recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

	Amortization of deferred financing costs was $49,000 and $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The amount for the three months ended March 31, 2014 includes the write-off of $2.2 million in deferred financing costs associated with the repayment of the Company's former loan and security agreement.
	Revolving Credit Facility
	On March 31, 2014, Turtle Beach and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a new asset-based revolving credit agreement (“Credit Facility”) with Bank of America, N.A., as Agent, Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner, which replaced the then existing loan and security agreement. The Credit Facility, which expires on March 31, 2019, provides for a line of credit of up to $60 million inclusive of a sub-facility limit of $10 million for TB Europe, a wholly owned subsidiary of Turtle Beach. The Credit Facility may be used for working capital, the issuance of bank guarantees, letters of credit and other corporate purposes.
	The maximum credit availability for loans and letters of credit under the Credit Facility is governed by a borrowing base determined by the application of specified percentages to certain eligible assets, primarily eligible trade accounts receivable and inventories, and is subject to discretionary reserves and revaluation adjustments.
	Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to either a rate published by Bank of America or the LIBOR rate, plus in each case, an applicable margin, which is between 1.00% to 1.50% for U.S. base rate loans and between 2.00% to 2.50% for U.S. LIBOR loans and U.K. loans. As of March 31, 2015, interest rates for outstanding borrowings were 4.75% for base rate loans and 2.67% for LIBOR rate loans. In addition, Turtle Beach is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused revolving loan commitment at a rate ranging from 0.25% to 0.50%, and letter of credit fees and agent fees.
	If certain availability thresholds are not met, meaning that the Company does not have receivables and inventory which are eligible to borrow on under the Credit Facility in excess of amounts borrowed, the Credit Facility requires the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio. The fixed charge ratio is defined as the ratio, determined on a consolidated basis for the most recent four fiscal quarters, of (a) EBITDA minus capital expenditures, excluding those financed through other instruments, and cash taxes paid, and (b) Fixed Charges defined as the sum of cash interest expense plus scheduled principal payments.
	The Credit Facility also contains affirmative and negative covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limit our ability to take certain actions, including our ability to incur debt, pay dividends and repurchase stock, make certain investments and other payments, enter into certain mergers and consolidations, engage in sale leaseback transactions and transactions with affiliates and encumber and dispose of assets. Obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a security interest and lien upon substantially all of the Company's assets.
	In March 2015, Bank of America notified the Company that certain events of default had occurred and were continuing under the Credit Facility, including (i) the Company’s failure to deliver in a timely matter certain monthly financial statements in accordance with the Credit Facility, (ii) the Company’s failure to deliver in a timely matter certain financial projections in accordance with the Credit Facility, (iii) the Company’s failure to repay an over-advance of approximately $100,000 that existed between March 6, 2015 and March 9, 2015, and (iv) the Company’s failure to satisfy the fixed charge coverage ratio under the Credit Facility for certain measurement dates during the fourth quarter of 2014 (in part as a result of certain retroactive changes to the calculation of such ratio pursuant to the December Amendment, as defined below) (the “Existing Events of Default”).
	On March 16, 2015, the Company entered into a third amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Credit Facility pursuant to which Bank of America and the lenders under the Credit Facility agreed to waive the Existing Events of Default.  In addition, the Third Amendment amends certain other provisions of the agreement and requires that we maintain an EBITDA ratio at the end of each month beginning April 30, 2015 on a cumulative basis through the remainder of 2015 and thereafter on a trailing twelve-month basis, our EBITDA (as defined under the Credit Facility) must be in an amount equal to at least 75% of our monthly projected EBITDA as set forth in projections delivered pursuant to the Credit Facility.  The current fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.15 to 1.00 on the last day of each month while a Covenant Trigger Period (as defined in the Credit Facility) is in effect will become effective again after the Company has complied with such ratio for six consecutive months.
	As of March 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants, and excess borrowing availability was approximately $1.5 million, net of the outstanding Term Loan (as defined below) that is considered to be an additional outstanding amount under the Credit Facility.
	Term Loan
	On December 29, 2014, the Company amended the Credit Facility (the “December Amendment”) to permit the repayment of $7.7 million of then existing subordinated debt and accrued interest with the proceeds of an additional loan (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan will result in modified financial covenants while it is outstanding, will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR for the applicable interest period plus 5% and will be repaid in equal monthly installments beginning on April 1, 2015 and ending on April 1, 2018. Amounts so repaid are recognized by lowering the balance of the term loan tranche and increasing the lower interest rate base revolver amount, with no net impact on borrowing availability.
	Subordinated Note - Related Party
	On April 23, 2015, the Company issued a $5.0 million Subordinated Note (the “Subordinated Note”) to SG VTB Holdings, LLC, the Company’s largest stockholder (“SG VTB”). The Subordinated Note bears interest at a rate of (i) 10% per annum for the first year and (ii) 20% per annum for all periods thereafter, with interest accruing and being added to the principal amount of the the note quarterly. The Subordinated Debt is subordinated to all senior debt of the Company, including the Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility.
	SG VTB is an affiliate of Stripes Group LLC (“Stripes”), a private equity firm focused on internet, software, healthcare IT and branded consumer products businesses. Kenneth A. Fox, one of our directors, is the managing general partner of Stripes and the sole manager of SG VTB and Ronald Doornink, our Chairman of the Board, is an operating partner of Stripes.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes
	In order to determine the quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions. However, to the extent that application of the estimated annual effective tax rate is not representative of the quarterly portion of actual tax expense expected to be recorded for the year, we determine the quarterly provision for income taxes based on actual year-to-date income (loss). Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter during which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter.
	The following table presents our income tax benefit and effective income tax rate:
		Three Months Ended
		March 31,
		2015			2014
		(in thousands)
	Income tax benefit	$	(3,368	)	$	(5,832	)
	Effective income tax rate	24.1		%	66.7		%
	Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $3.4 million at an effective tax rate of 24.1%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was impacted by interest on the Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock and foreign entity taxable loss.
	Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $5.8 million at an effective tax rate of 66.7%, which was higher than the federal statutory rate primarily due to differences in book and tax treatment of stock based compensation, transaction costs, interest on the Series B Preferred Stock and other non-deductible expenses.
	At December 31, 2014, the Company had $29.4 million of net operating loss carryforwards and $12.8 million of state net operating loss carryforwards, which will begin to expire in 2029. An ownership change occurred on January 15, 2014 as a result of the Merger, and $12.7 million of federal net operating losses included in the above are pre-change losses subject to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company has not recorded a valuation allowance against the related deferred tax asset because it is considered more-likely-than-not that the Company will have future taxable income sufficient to utilize its deferred tax assets.
	The Company is subject to income taxes domestically and in various foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in evaluating uncertain tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes.
	The Company recognizes only those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, and establish tax reserves for uncertain tax positions that do not meet this threshold. Interest and penalties associated with income tax matters are included in the provision for income taxes in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of each of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had uncertain tax positions of $5.6 million, inclusive of $1.6 million of interest and penalties, and does not anticipate any significant events or circumstances that would cause a material change to these uncertainties during the ensuing year.
	The Company files U.S., state and foreign income tax returns in jurisdictions with various statutes of limitations, and its consolidated federal tax return for 2012 is currently under examination. The federal tax years open under the statute of limitations are 2011 through 2013, and the state tax years open under the statute of limitations are 2010 through 2013.

	Exercised	(104,560	)	1.39

	Outstanding at March 31, 2015	6,419,002		6.94		6.53	259,781
	Vested and expected to vest at March 31, 2015	6,253,297		6.9		6.46	259,781
	Exercisable at March 31, 2015	3,589,031		5.86		4.99	259,781
	In April 2015, the Company filed a preliminary Information Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with a proposed stock option exchange program to eligible participants to exchange certain outstanding eligible stock options for replacement options that will be granted under the 2013 Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plan (“2013 Plan.”)
	Stock options are time-based and the majority are exercisable within 10 years of the date of grant, but only to the extent they have vested. The options generally vest as specified in the option agreements subject, in some instances, to acceleration in certain circumstances. In the event participants in the 2013 Plan cease to be employed or engaged by the Company, then all of the options would be forfeited if they are not exercised within 90 days. Forfeitures on option grants are estimated at 10% for non-executives and 0% based for executives based on evaluation of historical and expected future turnover. Stock-based compensation expense was recorded net of estimated forfeitures, such that expense was recorded only for those stock-based awards expected to vest. The Company reviews this assumption periodically and will adjust it if it is not representative of future forfeiture data and trends within employee types (executive vs. non-executive).
	Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock and the exercise price of outstanding, in-the-money options. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
	The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of options granted as of the grant date. The following are assumptions for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
	Expected term (in years)	6.1
	Risk-free interest rate	1.5% - 1.8%
	Expected volatility	46.3% - 46.5%
	Dividend rate	0%
	Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires significant judgment to determine.
	The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $1.46. The total estimated fair value of employee options vested during the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $2.7 million. As of March 31, 2015, total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted to employees was $10.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average vesting period of 2.8 years.
	Restricted Stock Activity
		Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
	Nonvested restricted stock at December 31, 2014	6,396		$	15.63
	Granted	—		—
	Nonvested restricted stock at March 31, 2015	6,396		15.63
	As of March 31, 2015 total unrecognized compensation cost related to the nonvested restricted stock awards granted was $0.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average vesting period of 2.8 years.
	Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock
	In September 2010, VTBH issued 1,000,000 shares of its Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock with a fair value of $12.4 million. The Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock is required to be redeemed on the earlier of September 28, 2030, or the occurrence of a liquidation event at its original issue price of $12.425371 per share plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. The redemption value was $15.2 million and $14.9 million as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
	On February 18, 2015, the holder of the Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock, filed a complaint in Delaware Chancery Court alleging breach of contract against VTBH. According to the complaint, the Merger purportedly triggered a contractual obligation for VTBH to redeem the stock. Refer to Note 13, “Commitments and Contingencies” for further information/
	Phantom Equity Activity
	In November 2011, VTBH adopted a 2011 Phantom Equity Appreciation Plan (the “Appreciation Plan”) that covers certain employees, consultants, and directors of VTBH (“Participants”) who are entitled to phantom units, as applicable, pursuant to the provisions of their respective award agreements. The Appreciation Plan is shareholder-approved, which permits the granting of phantom units to VTBH’s Participants of up to 1,500,000 units. These units are not exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock but give the holder a right to receive a cash bonus equal to the appreciation in value between the exercise price and value of common stock at the time of a change in control event as defined in the plan.
	As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 784,661 and 807,578 phantom units at a weighted-average exercise price of $0.89 and $0.88, respectively, have been granted and are outstanding. Because these phantom units are not exercisable or convertible into common shares, said amounts and exercise prices were not subject to the exchange ratio provided by the Merger agreement. As of March 31, 2015, compensation expense related to the Appreciation Plan units remained unrecognized because as of those dates a change in control, as defined in the plan, had not occurred and is not probable to occur.

	Incremental shares from stock options and restricted stock awards are computed by the treasury stock method. The weighted average shares listed below were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented or were otherwise excluded under the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method calculates dilution assuming the exercise of all in-the-money options and vesting of restricted stock, reduced by the repurchase of shares with the proceeds from the assumed exercises, unrecognized compensation expense for outstanding awards and the estimated tax benefit of the assumed exercises.

	Litigation
	The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to these actions cannot be determined with certainty, in the Company’s opinion, any such liability will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or liquidity.
	On August 5, 2013, VTBH and the Company (f/k/a Parametric) announced that they had entered into the Merger Agreement pursuant to which VTBH would acquire an approximately 80% ownership interest and existing shareholders would maintain an approximately 20% ownership interest in the combined company. Following the announcement, several shareholders filed class action lawsuits in California and Nevada seeking to enjoin the Merger. The plaintiffs in each case alleged that members of the Company’s Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to the shareholders by agreeing to a Merger that allegedly undervalued the Company. VTBH and the Company were named as defendants in these lawsuits under the theory that they had aided and abetted the Company's Board of Directors in allegedly violating their fiduciary duties. The plaintiffs in both cases sought a preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin closing of the Merger, which, by agreement, was heard by the Nevada court with the California plaintiffs invited to participate. On December 26, 2013, the court in the Nevada cases denied the plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction. Following the closing of the Merger, the Nevada plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint, which made essentially the same allegations and sought monetary damages as well as an order rescinding the Merger. The California plaintiffs dismissed their action without prejudice, and sought to intervene in the Nevada action, which was granted. Subsequent to the intervention, the plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint, which made essentially the same allegations as prior complaints and sought monetary damages. On June 20, 2014, VTBH and the Company moved to dismiss the action, but that motion was denied on August 28, 2014. That denial is currently under review by the Nevada Supreme Court and briefing was completed on February 23, 2015. The Company believes that the plaintiffs’ claims against it are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself in the litigation. As of March 31, 2015 and the date of this report, the Company is unable to estimate a possible loss or range of possible loss in regards to this matter; therefore, no litigation reserve has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
	On February 18, 2015, Dr. John Bonanno, a minority shareholder of VTBH, filed a complaint in Delaware Chancery Court alleging breach of contract against VTBH. According to the complaint, the Merger purportedly triggered a contractual obligation for VTBH to redeem Dr. Bonanno's stock. Dr. Bonanno requests a declaratory judgment stating that he is entitled damages including a redemption of his stock for the redemption value of $15.1 million (equal to the original issue price of his stock plus accrued dividends) as well as other costs and expenses. VTBH maintains that the Merger did not trigger any obligation to redeem Mr. Bonanno's stock and VTBH intends to vigorously defend itself in the litigation.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
	On January 15, 2014, VTBH, which operated the Turtle Beach business, completed the merger (the “Merger”) with the Company (f/k/a Parametric Sound Corporation (“Parametric,”) which operated the HyperSound business. For accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as a “reverse acquisition” and VTBH was considered the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, VTBH’s historical results of operations replace Parametric’s historical results for all periods prior to the Merger, and from the acquisition date forward the results of operations of both companies are included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire fiscal year.
	The December 31, 2014 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet has been derived from the Company's most recent audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K.
	These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2015 (“Annual Report”) that contains information useful to understanding the Company's businesses and financial statement presentations.
	Immaterial Correction of Statements of Cash Flows
	Subsequent to the issuance of its 2014 first quarter condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company determined that the amount for “Reversal of sales returns reserve” was incorrectly reported as an increase, rather than a reduction, in the reconciliation of Net income to Net cash provided by operating activities. This correction also impacted the line item “Accounts receivable,” but had no impact on total Net cash provided by operating activities. The Company has corrected the previously presented Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to present “Reversal of sales return reserve” as a reduction to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities and properly state the change in “Accounts receivable” as an increase of $21.1 million (previously reported as an increase of $18.6 million).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. On April 1, 2015, the FASB tentatively agreed to propose a one-year deferral of the effective date, but would permit all entities to adopt the standard as of the original effective date for public business entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, this new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method of adoption.
	In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
