Monster partners with EA to create MVP Carbon, the new gaming headphones at CES 2013

Monster and EA Sports have just announced a new set of professional gaming headphones for multiple platforms. The new ‘MVP Carbon’ headphones will work on PC, PS3, Xbox 360 and the Wii U. This from CES 2013:


This marks Monster’s first attempt at making a gaming peripheral, a field that has been dominated with such innovators as Razer, Turtle Beach and SteelSeries. The ‘MVP Carbon’ will feature simulated 5.1 Surround Sound working off some impressive 30MM drivers. The microphone will be integrated into the device.

Monster also detailed the ‘Gamebox’ which works as a headphone amplifier. Sugar Ray Leonard himself took the stage at CES 2013 to show off the model, though his expertise in gaming peripherals may be questionable.

The headsets will be available in two colors only, black or white, and will have an MSRP of $269. The headsets are set to launch this February 2013. We aren’t sure why Macs were not included in the list, we assume that there shouldn’t be anything preventing them from working but they were not mentioned at the event.
