[Update] Turtle Beach, Activision Join Forces For Line Of Modern Warfare Headsets
[Update] We just got a correction from Turtle Beach regarding this morning's announcement. According to the company, the price of the Bravo headset is $179.95, not the $149.95 originally listed. In addition, the Foxtrot headset is wired, not wireless.
Original Story: Call of Duty is kind of a big deal around these parts, so it should come as no surprise that peripheral manufacturers are happy to hop onto the bandwagon. A new partnership between headphone manufacturer Turtle Beach and Activision means that players will have several more audio options when the game comes out later this year.
“Call of Duty continues to define action while also becoming a cultural phenomenon as well as the industry standard,” noted Michael Arzt, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development for Turtle Beach. “As the long-time leader and innovator in the gaming audio category, Turtle Beach is excited to introduce a collection of purpose-built Modern Warfare 3 headsets with features and benefits that will far surpass gamers’ expectations for licensed headsets.”
Turtle Beach says the line of headsets will ship this October, in advance of Modern Warfare 3's November 8 release. Depending on the model, players will have access to special features, such as audio presets and voice prompts. Here's a look at each of the four headsets, straight from the manufacturer:
• Ear Force BRAVO (EFB) – Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Optimized
Programmable Wireless Universal Gaming Headset (pictured above). Featuring the same
custom Modern Warfare 3 presets as the EFD, the EFB provides players
with the same optimized experience in a universal headset that’s the
perfect Call of Duty companion on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. MSRP $179.95.
• Ear Force CHARLIE (EFC) – Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Optimized Multi-Speaker Surround Sound PC Gaming Headset. With eight amplified, acoustically-angled speakers delivering discrete surround sound, this tournament-grade, Modern Warfare 3 optimized wired headset is the perfect choice for competitive PC gamers. MSRP $129.95.
• Ear Force DELTA (EFD) – Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3-Optimized Programmable Wireless Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound Headset with Bluetooth Chat. The top-of-the-line EFD headset comes packaged in a specially-themed carrying case and is pre-loaded with unique custom Modern Warfare 3 presets and voice prompts. Ear Force Delta is the ultimate Xbox 360 and PS3 weapon for the most avid Modern Warfare 3 players. MSRP: $299.95.
• Ear Force FOXTROT (EFF) – Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Optimized
Wired Universal Gaming Headset. For Modern Warfare 3 players seeking
