14 DAY TRIAL // Gaming hardware of all sorts is on display at Computex, and it looks like a certain company has created not one but two distinct gaming headsets that are bound to attract attention.
When it comes to makers of audio solutions, Turtle Beach could be said to rank amongst the top players, at least as far as the high-end segment goes.
This is because it focuses exclusively on gaming hardware, like the Ear Force PX 5 which has now received a couple of successors, of sorts.
The two products in question go by the names of Ear Force PX3 and Z6A and are meant fro PS3 and Xbox gaming consoles.
The Z67 is aimed at the latter and has large ear, mesh cushions that provide comfort even during long gaming nights and, of course, USB connectivity.
Additionally, it uses a 5.1 audio channel, meaning that the eight amplified speakers (two of which are subwoofers) will fill one's mind with the same audio sensation that is usually associated with large speaker systems.
Meanwhile, the PX3 is intended for PS3 but also works on Xboxes. It connects to the console wirelessly and has 18 interchangeable audio presets, plus the Blast Limiter technology “which limits the intensity of deafening sounds.”
"We are the category leader because we are the only headset maker solely focused on gamers' unique audio needs," said Carmine Bonanno, President and CEO of Turtle Beach.
“We redefined what a gaming headset could do when we introduced the PX5 earlier this year. One message we have heard from gamers load and clear is that they want to control their gaming experience as much as possible,” Bonanno added.
“The PX3 allows us to bring many of the PX5's amazing innovations to an even broader audience, while the Z6A offers PC gamers a competitive edge with a flexible multi-driver surround sound experience that provides the comfort needed for long gaming sessions."
With prices of $150 and $100, the Ear Force PX3 and Z6A have yet to be given explicit availability dates.
