A few hours ago, Microsoft let us know about its partnership with Adidas for the marketing of a pair of collector sneakers to mark the 20th anniversary of the Xbox brand. That was obviously not all, and on the accessories side, the American giant also plans to release a controller and a collector headset. Two products that will go on sale on November 15, and for good reason, it is the release date of the first Xbox in the United States, already 20 years ago. Unlike the pair of sneakers, Microsoft has opted for a less striking color, but not devoid of interest. The fluorescent green has indeed given way to a translucent black / gray reminiscent of the original Xbox debug kit. So inevitably, for the average person, that has no memory, since it is the developers and the journalists who were the only ones to access this kind of machines. But whatever, this slight transparency in the controller will distinguish the entire mechanism, especially as the Xbox button refers to the very first logo of the brand, with its flashy green. Moreover, we find the iconic color on the grips of the handles and around the directional cross.
As for the headphones, there too, we find this translucent black / gray black which reveals the silver interior, knowing that we also find shades of green on the side of the microphone as well as on the inside and outside. earphones. The left side features the 20th anniversary logo with its iconic green tone and the right earpiece features the Xbox logo, which can already be seen on wireless and stereo headsets. Microsoft recalls the specificities of the headset, namely large and comfortable headphones, easily accessible buttons to mute the sound and change the volume and compatibility with the latest sound spatialization technologies Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos and DTS Headphone X. The controller as the headphones will be sold from November 15, 2021 at a price of € 64.99, it is already possible to pre-order them on the Microsoft Store.
