Headset is teasing everyone silly

After seeing their big Rocketboost press release with Best Buy today, I jumped to Avnera’s website for more info, and not only did Avnera just refresh their website and add more info about their also officially announced AM2G, but I noticed a link to an earlier story about a Sound Blaster headset reveal at Blizzcon 2009 earlier this year, which confirmed my suspicion that the Soundblaster WoW Wireless Headset was indeed based on their wireless headset chipset.

Creative also is showing some nice snaps on their Soundblaster homepage, but the click-through is still just taking signups for future product info on the headset.

The last update from Creative said availability by the “holidays.” Â In October, the Soundblaster blog said:

Q. When is it shipping?

A. Soon â„ .

Seriously though. We’re putting polish and the touches on the headset that is going to truly put this headset in a class of its own. I really want to emphasize that this hardware is NOT a simple “slap the brand on it and sell a ton†project. It’s been painstakingly crafted to push design and technology.  The wait will be worth it.

Santa should be packing these in his sleighâ€

THX TruStudio PC should also be interesting to experience on these Avnera-enabled babies. Â A significant leap over the HS-1200 headset Creative launched almost two years ago now. Â More differentiation, more excitement, and more service to a key user group, this headset seems very highly anticipated by the WoW crowd, and that’s great news for everyone!

Can’t wait.
