Polk 4 Shot Xbox One Headphones Launching Next Week

Polk's new 4 Shot gaming headphones for the Xbox One are shipping in just over a week. Announced at E3, the Polk headphones were created in collaboration with Halo and Forza Motorsport developers 343 Industries and Turn 10 Studios, respectively, to ensure proper audio tuning for different gaming needs.

"Since unveiling the 4 Shot at last year's E3 Expo, the excitement has grown in response to its anticipated launch," said Polk vice president Mark Suskind. "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."

The headphones' adaptor plugs directly into the Xbox One controller's proprietary data port, so there's no need to worry about unwanted cords coming from the console to your ears. By using Polk Optimized Electro-acoustic Tuning (POET), the 4 Shot aims to deliver high-quality, realistic sound. If you need to chat with fellow gamers, a retractable microphone is included, and leatherette padding and over-ear pads help make sure your head and ears stay comfortable throughout those long gaming sessions.

Polk's 4 Shot headphones are priced at $159.95 and will be offered in Ink Black, Desert White, and Nova Blue when they launch March 6th. The headphones will be available at select GameStop locations and directly through Polk Audio, with Best Buy stores in Canada expected to get the product in March.
