ASTRO Gaming, a division of Skullcandy, and creators of premium video gaming equipment for professional gamers, today announced the launch of the ASTRO Gaming A50 Battlefield 4 Edition Wireless Gaming Headset for the Xbox 360. The ASTRO Gaming A50 Battlefield 4 Edition represents ASTRO Gaming’s first officially licensed Microsoft gaming headset and will feature a new custom color as well as graphics inspired by the highly anticipated Battlefield 4; audio profiles developed by DICE to deliver the game’s award-winning audio exactly as the studio intended; and, a set of exclusive, in-game ASTRO Gaming Dog Tags for Xbox 360 players.  The ASTRO Gaming A50 Battlefield 4 Edition is now available at select retail stores nationwide and at www.astrogaming.comBattlefield 4 will be available on October 29 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC; November 12 for the PlayStation 4 and on November 19 for the Xbox One.

“DICE’s Battlefield 4 is one of the few games today that mixes an incredibly diverse variety of highly immersive and critically important in-game sound effects and audio cues with the need for crystal clear voice communication.  Battlefield 4’s need for spatial audio clarity is also second to none – hearing the People’s Liberation Army soldiers before they come around a corner, an incoming airstrike before it hits or the heavy armor before it crests a hill is paramount to success in Battlefield 4,” said Aron Drayer, Director of Marketing for ASTRO Gaming.  “Our new ASTRO Gaming A50 Battlefield 4 Edition was designed from the ground up to handle everything Battlefield 4 can throw at you — from cutting edge KleerNet wireless to Dolby Surround Sound 5.1 to Game-to-Voice audio balance controls to custom EQ modes designed by DICE.”

ASTRO Gaming A50 Battlefield 4™ Edition is ASTRO Gaming’s most technologically advanced product to date and innovates with a number of features, including: cutting-edge KleerNet 5.8GHz wireless technology dramatically increasing clarity and operating range; Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound for increased spatial accuracy and definition; embedded ASTRO MixAmp 5.8 the audio engine that seamlessly blends voice and game sounds; a long-lasting lithium-ion battery system rechargeable via USB; a uni-directional mic with flip-up mute; and, a discrete wireless transmitter that fits snugly within a stylish stand for easy recharging and display.
