Turtle Beach crams 7.1 channels into Ear Force DX11 gaming headset

5.1 channels of faux surround sound not enough for your two ears? Fret not, dear gamers, as Turtle Beach has outdone itself once more. The Ear Force DX11 gaming headset launched today for Xbox 360 and PC gamers, providing a pair of 40mm drivers, a fold-down microphone (with accompanying 'fro, naturally), a breakout Dolby 7.1 processor, bass boost, S/PDIF-to-analog converter, front panel USB pass-through port and independent volume controls for game and voice signals. It's available to pre-order right now exclusively from Best Buy, with a rather lofty $129.99 price standing between you and multi-channel nirvana.

Other key features and user benefits of the Turtle Beach Ear Force DX11 include:

* Variable bass boost to enhance the sound of explosions, gunshots and additional deep bass effects to increase the realism of games and movies;
* Large, acoustically-tuned ear cups with 40mm drivers produce superior audio with deep bass for all types of games, digital music, and entertainment.
* S/PDIF-to-analog converter that can down-mix multi-channel audio from digital devices to 2-channel analog headphone output. This enables digital sources to be connected to devices such as home theater receivers via standard stereo analog audio connections;
* Front panel USB pass-thru that allows other USB devices to be connected for power or data, eliminating the need for a power adapter and reducing the number of USB ports needed in a gaming or entertainment setup.
* Available AC power option from wall outlet via an optional Turtle Beach USB-to-AC power adapter (which can be purchased via TurtleBeach.com);
* Independent volume controls for game and voice signals to balance XBOX LIVE® chat and game sound.

The Ear Force DX11 will be available exclusively through Best Buy and BestBuy.com. Other Turtle Beach premium gaming and audio products are available at Best Buy, GameStop, Amazon.com, Newegg, Meijer, Best Buy Canada, The Future Shop and other fine retailers.

Not too bad on price... but with it being for 360 only, I wouldn't/couldn't use it. Also, my PIIQ headphones are good enough

I think it's too expensive. Not that it's not worth it, but who is going to pay over $100 for a headset used only for gaming?
You can do quite well in the $50-$60 range. It's not like you're listening to an orchestra.....

Maybe i have been underground or something but i didn't know that Turtle Beach is still alive At least they made pretty good stuff back in the good old days.

Thanks for the news prakash29617

Thank you for the info Prakash, maybe IDRANIL will buy it for you on your birthday, or Paul will lend his visa, Ande has five dollars to spare

[hellnoire]

I don't have a Visa guys... I have Mastercard. And considering I'm going to be buying a netbook plus a Wiz in the future, I might not have that money to spare.
