Turtle Beach announces PX3 and Z6A gaming headsets, set to debut at E3

Turtle Beach impressed the pants off people last month with its Ear Force PX5 headset, that is why our mouths began watering once we discovered that the corporate has two new gaming products at the way — the Ear Force PX3 and Z6A. Very like the PX5, the wireless PX3 (pictured above) boasts 18 interchangeable audio settings and supports additional presets that users can download directly from Turtle Beach. Though it was designed with PS3 users in mind, the PX3 may also run on an Xbox 360 and is the primary Turtle Beach headset to add a chargeable, ten-hour battery.

The Xbox-friendly, surround sound Z6A, meanwhile, rocks eight amplified speakers (including two subwoofers) and is juiced by a 5.1 channel amp that promises to wash your head with booming bass. The USB-powered device may leave you tethered in your console, but at the very least it can house your ears in a large mesh cushion, which can make those late-night gaming marathons a bit more bearable. The PX3 will retail for roughly $150, with the Z6A set at around $100, and both headsets shall be on display at E3 next week in L. a., so we’ll be sure you offer you our feedback when we get our paws on them. For now, you’re able to sate your appetite with the complete PR and a picture of the Z6A — either one of that are looking ahead to you after the break.
