FIVE NEW WIRELESS AND CORDED HEADSETS BRING CONSOLE GAMING AUDIO AND CHAT TO LIFE
Plantronics Inc. (NYSE: PLT) today expanded its award-winning family of
wireless and corded GameCom® headsets for the Xbox 360® and PlayStation®
3. Designed to enhance gaming experiences through rich, vibrant audio,
the new line-up is headlined by the GameCom X95 Wireless Stereo headset
and GameCom X40 Stereo headset for Xbox 360 users and the GameCom P90
Bluetooth headset for the PlayStation 3.
WIRELESS FREEDOM FOR XBOX 360 GAMING
The Plantronics GameCom
X95 is a wireless gaming headset that delivers full stereo sound from
40mm speakers. With a closed-ear design and intuitive on-ear controls
for changing volume and audio levels, users can immerse themselves in
games, music and movies without disturbing others. The GameCom X95 has a
sleek and modern design with a mic that easily tucks into the headband
when not in use. Perfect for long gaming sessions, the GameCom X95 can
be used for more than 20 hours before replacing the included AAA
batteries.
The new Plantronics GameCom X40 is a corded headset that features the
same 40mm speakers as the GameCom X95 for exceptional stereo sound. The
GameCom X40 eliminates cumbersome in-line controls by placing separate
volume and audio control buttons on the earpods. The headset is
extremely lightweight and features specially designed cushioned earpods
and headband that redistribute pressure for a great fit.
Plantronics also introduced the GameCom X30 and GameCom X10 corded
headsets for chat on the Xbox 360.
EASY, WIRELESS CHAT FOR THE PLAYSTATION 3
The perfect
PlayStation 3 companion, the new GameCom P90 Bluetooth headset enables
users to talk to friends wirelessly during gaming sessions. The GameCom
P90 can also connect to a mobile phone, so it can be used for game chats
as well as mobile calls while enjoying the same, crystal-clear audio.
The GameCom P90 features QuickPair technology for easy pairing to the
PlayStation 3, and includes dedicated mute volume and on/off buttons for
convenience.
The Plantronics GameCom has a slim earloop and contoured eartip for a
comfortable, secure fit. It includes a USB charging cable that connects
to the PlayStation 3 system.
“We engineered the new GameCom
products to give console gamers what value most in a great headset:
outstanding audio performance, plug-and-play simplicity and comfortable
designs,” said Stuart Bradshaw, Plantronics EMEA Head of Consumer
Marketing “The mix of wireless stereo, Bluetooth and corded products
also gives consumers more choices, so they can find a solution that
meets their individual preference and style.”
