SYDNEY, Australia – 7 December , 2010 – Plantronics® (NYSE: PLT), today expanded its award-winning family of gaming headsets with the release of the wireless and corded GameCom® headsets for the Xbox 360® and Playstation® 3. The new line up, designed to enhance gaming experiences through rich, vibrant audio, features a range of headsets to suit any console gamer this Christmas. Headlined by the GameCom X95 Wireless Stereo headset and GameCom X40 Stereo headset for Xbox 360 users, as well as the GameCom P90 Bluetooth headset for the PlayStation 3, the new Gamecom range features the perfect present for friends and family who love console gaming.

Wireless Freedom for Xbox 360 Gaming
The Plantronics GameCom X95 is a wireless gaming headset that delivers full stereo sound from 40mm speakers. With a closed-ear design and intuitive on-ear controls for changing volume and audio levels, users can immerse themselves in games, music and movies without disturbing others. The GameCom X95 has a sleek and modern design with a concealable mic that easily tucks into the headband when not in use. Perfect for long gaming sessions, the GameCom X95 can be used for more than 20 hours before replacing the included AAA batteries.

The new Plantronics GameCom X40 is a corded headset that features the same 40mm speakers as the GameCom X95 for exceptional stereo sound. The GameCom X40 eliminates cumbersome in-line controls by placing separate volume and audio control buttons on the ear pods. The headset is extremely lightweight and features specially designed cushioned earpods and headband that redistribute pressure for a great fit.

Plantronics also introduced refreshed versions of the GameCom X30 and GameCom X10 corded headsets for the Xbox 360.

Easy, Wireless Chat for the PlayStation 3
The perfect PlayStation 3 companion, the new GameCom P90 Bluetooth headset enables users to talk to friends wirelessly during gaming sessions. The GameCom P90 can also connect to a mobile phone, so users can choose between game chats and mobile calls while enjoying the same, crystal-clear audio. The GameCom P90 features QuickPair technology for easy pairing to the PlayStation 3, and includes dedicated mute volume and on/off buttons for convenience.

The Plantronics GameCom has a slim earloop and contoured eartip for a comfortable, secure fit. It includes a USB charging cable that connects to the PlayStation 3 system.

“With the success of Plantronics PC gaming headsets we’re excited to be moving into console gaming in a much larger way,” said Peter Petrides, National Retail Manager, Plantronics Australia. “Console gaming is now more popular than ever, and the new Gamecom line up offers a great present for your family and friends this Christmas, at prices to suit any budget.”
