March 16^th, 2006 (2:16pm) - Turtle Beach has announced that its latest Xbox and Xbox 360 accessory is now readily available at game retailers nationwide. So what is this device, and why is it so important that we felt like making a news report about it? Well, it’s a wireless headset for the Xbox and Xbox 360 that intergrates game audio and online chat wirelessly during Xbox Live sessions, which it is calling the Ear Force X2. A neat little gizmo that may prove to be very useful to those late night online gamers.

"Today’s gamers are extremely demanding about their audio at all times, and a late-night campaign is no exception," said Seth Dotterer, director of marketing for Turtle Beach. "The X2 headphones let those gamers experience the game the way it was meant to be hearing their friends sneak up behind them, and then telling them exactly what they think of their efforts."

The Ear Force X2 infrared base unit transmits stereo game audio from the consoles to the X2 headphones, eliminating the need for a cable run to the game console.

As expected, due to the wireless functionality of this accessory, the Ear Force X2 will feature an an MSRP of $99.95, and will be available at Best Buy and Circuit City outlets nationwide, as well as through the Turtle Beach website (www.TurtleBeach.com) and direct sales center (1-800-233-9377 or 914-966-0600).
