Patented speaker and microphone controller attachment hits retail shelves
Nyko Technologies has announced the launch of SpeakerCom for PS4 and Xbox One. This nifty little device is a speaker and microphone attachment for controllers. With a sleek design that fits the form of the controller without interfering with gameplay, this patented bit of kit allows players to easily chat and listen to online communication without wearing a bulky headset.
SpeakerCom for PS4 and Xbox One is now available at Nyko.com, Amazon.com, GameStop.com, and in Meijer stores for $24.99. We have yet to pick one up, but for the price it sure is a lot more affordable than those headset combos out there. Still, it will all come down to the quality, but it’s a good option for those unsure about streaming or interacting online.
“Headsets can start to feel uncomfortable after endless hours of use,” said Chris Arbogast, Nyko’s Director of Sales and Marketing. “SpeakerCom provides an alternative solution for those who’d rather kick back and not deal with the wires, and be able to speak and hear out loud. It’s also perfect for remaining tuned in to your surroundings for a more social experience.”
SpeakerCom simply fastens to the bottom of a PS4 or Xbox One controller, eliminating the need for a headset and providing a clear loudspeaker for easy and comfortable communication. Users can readily access the push-to-talk button while keeping hands on the controller for uninterrupted gameplay.
SpeakerCom is also the perfect companion for Cortana on Xbox One – players can easily control their entertainment devices using voice commands. SpeakerCom comes with a built-in rechargeable battery that does not draw power from the controller and can be charged using the included micro-USB cable.
