With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 due out later this year, it was only a matter of time until we found out which of the major gaming headphone makers would have a tie in with the title. Well. Wait no more as Turtle Beach announced that they will be offering not one, not two, not even three but FOUR CoD 3 branded headsets. The headsets will range in price from $99 for the Ear Force FOXTROT all the way up to $299 for the Ear Force DELTA.
What I really dig (besides the cool names) about this is that Turtle Beach isn’t leaving out people at any price point. Too many times in the past, the tie in headsets have been only in the uber-premium price range, and out of the common gamers grasp. Here is a run down of the four units, and you can take a look-see below:
- 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 BRAVO (EFB) – Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Optimized Programmable Wireless Universal Gaming Headset. 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.
