Universal All-in-One Headset Provides Superior Sound Quality for Console, PC and Mobile Gaming
LOS ANGELES, June 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Polk Audio, a high-performance audio brand with over 40 years of sound engineering and design expertise, today announced the debut of its latest gaming headset, Striker Pro, at E3 2015 (Booth 5612). The Striker Pro is fine-tuned with a patented Dynamic Balance® driver design to deliver the most realistic and balanced audio experience. Striker Pro will be available in an officially licensed Xbox One version with a wireless headset adapter as well as a PlayStation 4 compatible version. Both headsets are PC, Mac and mobile (tablet and phone) compatible.

The Striker Pro features a newly designed, flexible, ultra-clear sounding removable omni-directional microphone with push button mute for both console and PC gaming, as well as a small and discrete in-line microphone for mobile use. Striker Pro comes with three detachable cables and two removable microphones giving gamers one great-sounding headset for all their gaming needs. Anew leather-wrapped spring steel headband and pivoting ear cups provide durability and comfort for long periods of wear.
"What makes the Polk Striker Pro gaming headset unique are the acoustics. As audio specialists who have been making premium audiophile-grade speakers for over 40 years, we understand what it takes to properly voice a headset to ensure it delivers precise, balanced, rich sound for all types of listening," said Michael Greco, Global Brand Director for Polk. "Whether chatting with your friends or listening intently for the footsteps of your enemies, your ears deserve the best sounding headset. With the Striker Pro, gamers do not have to trade universal compatibility and features for superior audio quality."
Striker Pro is unique and versatile in that it allows users to conveniently switch between different gaming modes with its three included detachable cables--all designed to enhance each gaming experience. Cable offerings include:
-- Mobile Connect Cable - a 3.5mm microphone cable with in-line controls
lets users play, pause and make phone calls without having to touch
their device
-- Dual-Jack Console Controller Connect Cable - unlike the standard 3.5mm
cable, this 1.3 meter (4 ft.) custom console cable is designed for
high-fidelity audio to enhance microphone performance and remove
crosstalk. Additionally, both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions
allow for easy access to master volume and microphone mute without
having to use the onscreen menus. The PlayStation 4 in-line also
includes an attenuator to adjust your microphone's gain to ensure it
does not distort during online gaming sessions
-- Dual-Jack, Detachable, Extra-long Pro PC Connect Cable - Polk's very own
3-meter (9.8 ft.) long Pro PC connect cable lowers the noise floor to
eliminate crosstalk and boost microphone clarity for exceptional audio
performance
Both the victory red Striker Pro P1 for PlayStation 4 (MSRP: $129) and dark emerald Striker Pro Zx (MSRP: $149) for Xbox One will be available in September at select retailers and on PolkAudio.com.
The Striker Pro will be on display at Polk's E3 booth, #5612, where product demonstrations and sound engineer interviews are available.
