It has audio thumb controls and a 1.2 / 48-inch meter cable

I'd half expected the Pol Melee to be wireless like the N1 sound bar, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Not that it needs to be of course.

Melee is essentially a sort of multi-purpose headset, as redundant as that may sound.

It's primarily made for Microsoft's Xbox One and Xbox 360 consoles, but can convert from games to music to movies (changes audio settings) via the 48-inch / 1.2-meter one-button control cable.

There's a thumb-reach Audio Mixer too (adjust listening modes, audio and chat levels), as well as a spring steel headband (with stitched leatherette padding and pivoting ear cups) and a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) Amplifier for a richer.

All this for an admittedly high price of $199.95 / €150 – 199.95. If you own a console and want something special for it, this might be your thing.
