Look ma, no wires!
These days it seems as though Turtle Beach mostly caters to the console crowd, though every once in awhile it launches a product intended primarily for PC gamers. So it is with Turtle Beach's new Ear Force Stealth 450 Wireless, a cordless headset that's similar in design to the recently launched Stealth 420X for Xbox One, which is "one of Amazon's highest rated gaming headsets."
The Stealth 450 is 100 percent wireless and employs channel-hopping technology to thwart unwanted interference. It has 50mm Neodymium speakers, has four EQ presets, and supports DTS Headphone:X 7.1 Surround Sound.
If you're tired of enemies sneaking up from behind, there's a "Superhuman Hearing" audio preset that amplifies soft sounds when turned on. According to Turtle Beach, the setting allows you to hear everything from "the faintest enemy footsteps to weapon reloads off in the distance." We imagine this is similar to the technique that some dedicated sound cards employ.
The headset comes with a removable boom microphone and a USB dongle to connect to your PC. It also sports a built-in rechargeable battery that Turtle Beach claims will last up to 15 hours.
Turtle Beach's Ear Force Stealth 450 Wireless is available now for $130 MSRP.
