Halo 4 branded Gaming Headsets releasing later this year

Mad Catz Interactive and Microsoft Studios have reached an agreement to create Halo 4 branded Gaming Headsets due out for release later this year.

“We are excited to add Halo 4 to our portfolio of world class video game licenses,” said Darren Richardson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. “Halo is one of the world’s most popular video games and these new Halo-branded headsets are sure to appeal to the passionate gamer who wants to maximize his or her Halo experience.”

Frank O’Connor, Franchise Development Director at 343 Industries added, “We’ve worked closely with Tritton engineers and industrial designers to ensure compelling and appropriate technological and aesthetic designs that map closely to Halo’s epic sci-fi universe.”

Mad Catz previously partnered with Microsoft to produce the first "wireless, licensed and co-branded headphones" for the Xbox 360, which were also manufactured under the Tritton brand. There's no word if the Halo headsets will be wireless nor any details mentioned in the press release, but hopefully we find out more soon.

With Halo 4 set to release on November 6, I'd expect the headsets to release sometime around there.
