$300 for a Headset?! | GKick Network

July 19th, 2012 by Nickie Williams

Turtle Beach have released a new headset line specifically designed for one of the best-selling FPS console games on the market- Call Of Duty. This all-singing, all-dancing headset is basically every gamers dream if you have bottomless pockets and like the colour orange. But for $300, you kind of expect it to transform into a robot butler and make dinner or at least do something cool other than be a set of headphones.

I personally swear by Turtle Beach as I have a set of X11 and they’re some of the best headphones I’ve ever bought for gaming. They’re really comfy to wear too for long periods of time. I paid less than $50 for them though, which is all I would ever pay for a set of headphones only being used to gaming. But I know there will be some people out there longing for these and salvating all over their keyboards.

Do you have $300 and they sound like the headphones for you? Well, here’s the stats.

Overview

The future is now with the Turtle Beach Call of Duty®: Black Ops II Ear Force Tango Limited Edition Headset. Fully programmable audio presets, Dolby® Digital 5.1 Surround Sound, 2.4/5GHz Dual-Band Wi-Fi, a rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery, Bluetooth® technology and wireless chat for Xbox 360® and PS3™ complete the ultimate gaming audio package.

Dolby® Digital 5.1 Surround Sound lets you pinpoint the direction of every gunshot and footstep with 360 degree audio for an immersive experience, while adjusting the position of the virtual speaker angles provides enhanced customizability. Take control of the battleground by configuring up to 9 different presets for game and chat/mic audio paths so you can amplify bone-shaking explosions and hear every shell casing hit the floor – all while calling the shots and coordinating with your squad mates for maximum operational effectiveness. Featuring Call of Duty®: Black Ops II customized audio presets and voice prompts, as well as exclusive color scheme and speaker plates, the Ear Force Tango is designed to let you hear everything and defeat everyone.
