High-performance headsets, true to the game’s audio fidelity

Trustmaster Ghost Recon HS

In certain sensitive situations – like an elite unit of four Ghosts, stealthily carrying out high-risk missions in the rugged terrain of Bolivia – mastery of what you say and what you hear takes on life-or-death importance. With its ground-breaking new headsets, Thrustmaster is taking these senses to a whole new level, allowing gamers to optimize their exchanges with team members. This results in crystal-clear communication between your squad,  and the ability to hear even the slightest sounds from far away, allowing you to anticipate and respond to whatever this hostile environment might throw at you. To achieve this, these headsets have been designed to reflect the game’s audio signature with pinpoint accuracy, using the Thrustmaster development teams’ own in-house, state-of-the-art anechoic chamber.

 

Trustmaster Ghost Recon HS

The two flagship models of this range are the Y-350X 7.1 Powered GHOST RECON WILDLANDS Edition and the Y-350P 7.1 Powered GHOST RECON WILDLANDS Edition. Both feature a 7.1 Virtual Surround Sound audio system via the Y Sound Commander controller. The former is officially licensed for Xbox One, and the latter for PlayStation4. What’s more, the PlayStation 4 version is a worldwide exclusive with the Y Sound Commander, marking the first use of this award-winning technology on this platform. Both of these headsets plunge gamers into the vast expanses of the Bolivian wildlands in truly breath-taking fashion.

In order to meet the needs of a wider cross-section of gamers, Thrustmaster will also be offering a GHOST RECON WILDLANDS edition of its best-selling Y-300CPX model: a multiplatform headset, for full compatibility with PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 systems, Xbox One, PC, Xbox 360 and Mac.

  • Thrustmaster’s range of Ghost Recon Wildlands gaming headsets will be available from March 7, 2017 at suggested retail prices of £49.99 (taxes included) for the Y-300CPX GHOST RECON WILDLANDS Edition (multiplatform), and £119.99 (taxes included) for the Y-350X 7.1 Powered GHOST RECON WILDLANDS Edition (Xbox One®) and the Y-350P 7.1 Powered GHOST RECON WILDLANDS Edition (PlayStation®4).
