Gaming headset outfit Turtle Beach has snagged itself the exclusive
license for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 headsets and it's planning on
taking full advantage of that license by shipping not one but four
MW3-themed 'sets this October, in advance of the game's November 8
release. In addition to the normal branding (see above: logos!) some of
the Turtle Beach headsets will distinguish themselves in one key way:
They come with custom MW3 presets, designed by the teams at Infinity
Ward and Sledgehammer Games. Want an audio preset that makes it really
easy to hear footsteps? We're guessing that's in there.
The Ear Force Delta is targeting console gamers with a a wireless
headset, Bluetooth chat (with XBA adapter for Xbox 360), an MW3 carrying
case, the aforementioned presets, and a $300 asking price. The Bravo
wireless headset comes with the same presets as the Delta and a much
lower $150 price tag. The Charlie wired headset is MW3 "optimized" but
there's no mention of custom audio presets in this one. At $130, you'll
save a whopping $20 on this PC-focused headset. Lastly, the Foxtrot is
another "optimized" headset, packing "several key features to set it
apart." Since they're not saying, we're guessing that its $100 price tag
is one of the most notable features.
Turtle Beach is promising
