MadCatz now shipping Tritton Detonator headset, official Xbox 360 stereo sound for $80

PS3 owners have been sportin’ their own official gaming headset for a few weeks, and now — after months of teasing — Mad Catz is finally granting Xbox 360 owners a similar privilege. The company’s announced that its Tritton / Microsoft co-branded Detonator Stereo USB gaming headset is available and shipping, priced at $80. Positioned as the first of a trio of its upcoming headsets — including its wireless brethren, the stereo Devastator and Dolby 7.1 Warhead — the Detonator keeps it to the FPS-pwning essentials. The cans are loaded with massive 50mm drivers and along its cord you’ll find an inline remote for adjusting game / chat volume, voice monitoring and mic muting. Impressively, aside from its detachable boom mic, the inline controller is also removeable, allowing you plug straight into your PMP when you’re done trash talkin’ on Xbox Live. We’re still anxiously waiting for the Warhead (scheduled to ship this holiday season), but if wired stereo is your thing, hit the PR past the break for more info.
