Plantronics Gaming Headsets
Plantronics delivers high-quality headsets for gamers at all levels at an affordable price. We’re pioneers
in the gaming market and designed and manufactured the first-ever Xbox Live® headset under the HALO
brand, which shipped over 4 million units.
Our gaming
strategy:
“Deliver high-quality
products for the
everyday gamer at
an affordable price.”
We then went on to introduce the GameCom® PC headsets with Dolby surround sound in our GameCom
777. And now we’ve extended our expertise into the console market, offering a full range of headsets for
the Xbox 360® and PS3™ gaming systems.
And it’s about more thaN just gaming…
Gaming suites are often also used as an office and multimedia theatre. Gamers stay in touch with friends
using VoIP applications such as Skype™ and TeamSpeak, and also have a smartphone.
