Polk Audio Announces Retail Availability of Striker ZX

BALTIMORE, Oct. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Polk, a high-performance audio brand with over a 40-year legacy of sound, engineering and design expertise, today announced the retail availability of the Striker ZX gaming headset at Best Buy, PolkAudio.com and select retailers. The Striker ZX, an affordable headphone with amazing sound that was unveiled at this year's E3 Expo, leverages Polk's celebrated, authentic sound to deliver a more immersive audio experience that brings gamers deeper into the virtual worlds of their favorite Xbox One titles. For top-notch chat quality, Striker ZX includes a wireless adapter developed by Polk to connect users wirelessly to the next-gen console for complete chat and volume control at their fingertips.

"When developing the Striker ZX, we took the four decades of knowledge from our high-performance home speakers to create the best audio experience far beyond what other gaming headphones can do," said Heathcliff Hatcher, Global Brand Director of Polk. "We take a different approach to the design and engineering process, meticulously fine tuning our headsets to accentuate all the audio details in any game. The Striker ZX not only sounds great, but also offers a premium build quality and an attractive, lightweight design so it can be used every day."

Featuring the same components found among all of Polk's premium headphones, the Striker ZX gives Xbox One gamers an edge through a breakthrough combination of advanced audio technology, design and functionality.

Polk's proprietary Dynamic Balance® driver technology is integrated into the headset, revealing a wider frequency range with sharp details and no hints of strain or resonances. Unique to the Striker ZX is that each headset comes bundled with a custom-built, audio tuned wireless adapter that connects from the headset to the Xbox One controller, giving users complete control over chat and volume. A chat loop feature allows for clear chat by enabling gamers to hear their voices in the headset to avoid shouting.

A ProFit™ Comfort system designed for optimum comfort and concentration during gameplay includes a lightweight, cushioned headband with plush, pivoting ear cups. Located at the ear cup is a strain-relief cable connector built to keep the 46-in. cable always connected and out of the user's way for a tangle- and snag-free experience.

Each headset also features a retractable, omnidirectional boom microphone with a flexible, 7-cm. extension cable that adjusts to different lengths and angles. When not in use, the microphone simply tucks away into the headphone.

Striker ZX retails for $89.95 and is available in Rosso Red Orange in-store and online only at Best Buy. Black Out Black and Skyline Blue are available for purchase online at PolkAudio.com and at select retailers. Striker P1, a multiplatform console version, will be available for purchase on PolkAudio.com and select retailers in Q4.
