Polk Audio 4 Shot Xbox One Compatible Headset To Be Available on March, 6 for $160
Polk today announced its 4 Shot Headset for Xbox One will be available nationwide on March 6. The first Xbox One compatible headset to hit store shelves, 4 Shot was developed in collaboration with Microsoft Studios at 343 Industries and Turn 10 Studios – the creators of the "Halo" and "Forza Motorsport" franchises. These products are optimized to deliver immersive, game-changing audio to the Xbox One experience.
"Since unveiling the 4 Shot at last year's E3 Expo, the excitement has grown in response to its anticipated launch," said Mark Suskind, vice president of product line development at Polk. "We worked diligently with Microsoft to create a headset that combines complex audio found in the gaming world with rich, exhilarating sound typical of Polk's engineering. We know there's a substantial demand for Xbox One headsets, and we're proud to be the first company with retail availability of a headset specifically licensed for the console."
