Wii gets Black Ops headset

American peripherals specialist Performance Designed Productshas announced the launch of a branded Wii headset ahead of the arrival of Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops on November 9th.

Called the Headbanger headset (pictured), it allows for multiplayer online chat in the Wii version of the shooter. It will hit US some time in October for $24.99 and should be available in the UK before the game debuts worldwide.

The fully licensed device plugs in via USB, includes a built-in microphone and a ten-foot cable.

The Headbanger Headset brings online multiplayer chat to the Wii, and what better game to introduce it to the world than Call of Duty: Black Ops?” PDP’s senior executive VP and CTO Tom Roberts stated.

Serious Call of Duty players require voice chat for team-based online games and we’re making sure that they can be heard loud and clear.”
