Gaming hardware and audio technology manufacturer Turtle Beach has released the Ear Force Stealth 450, the latest in its long line of wireless PC gaming headsets.

Similar in build to the company’s Stealth 420X headset released for the Xbox One earlier this year, the Ear Force Stealth 450 is suited for lengthy PC gaming sessions as well as more lightweight tasks like mobile gaming.

Turtle Beach’s latest release features several audio presets optimized for DTS Headphone:X 7.1 Surround Sound, and allows users to further tweak output for an ideal experience. Turtle Beach’s audio processing features include Superhuman Hearing for amplification of key in-game sound cues and Variable Mic Monitoring, letting users hear their own voice over the headset in order to determine optimal volume.

The Ear Force Stealth 450 is ergonomically designed with mesh-wrapped headphones and an adjustable microphone. The mic can also be removed, allowing the headphones to be used independently for off-PC purposes like mobile gaming. The Stealth 450 is also equipped with voiced indicators that warn of changes in settings and presets, allowing users to easily adjust output in low-light environments.

The device is powered by a built-in rechargeable battery that allows up to 15 hours of wireless functionality between charges.

“The Stealth 450 PC gaming headset offers an amazing mix of best-in-class features to PC gamers for an amazing price,” said Turtle Beach CEO Juergen Stark. “And the 450 is very similar in design to our fan-favorite 420X that we launched for Xbox One in July, so we know we’ve got another winning gaming headset sure to keep PC gamers happy.”

The Ear Force Stealth 450 is priced at $130.

Half-Life jumps to over 5,000 concurrent players thanks to a brutal new mod
Half-Life 3

Half-Life has its fair share of gore and horror elements, but it was never the splatterhouse experience some shooters can be. Of course, part of that was due to graphical limitations in 1998; trying to go overboard with gore just looked silly. A new fan mod changes that, though, as Brutal Half-Life will take you on a much bloodier, more violent experience.

Players have flocked back to the classic first-person shooter since the mod's release, with player counts reaching more than 5,000 concurrent players in the last 24 hours. At the time of this writing, there were more than 4,400 players online at once -- a big jump from the 2,000 concurrent players the game maintains on average, according to PCGamesN.

One of 2024’s most underrated games is free on Epic Games Store right now
A prison guard shoots aliens in Redacted.

Epic Games Store's holiday giveaway continues today with Redacted, a roguelike-spinoff of The Callisto Protocol that takes heavy inspiration from Hades and other similar titles. It has a totally different vibe than its source material, though, and it's a game that you can get a lot of enjoyment out of -- especially for free.

Redacted is a roguelike where players must fight their way through Black Iron Prison to the single remaining escape pod, finding loot and skills along the way. It has strong progression systems, as Redacted lets players increase their character level and upgrades between each run, but it adds a bit of a twist: You're racing more than just hordes of enemies.

We predicted gaming’s 2024 last December. Here’s what we got right (and wrong)
Nintendo Switch.

It's my favorite time of the year at Digital Trends. Every time a year ends, I like play prognosticator and predict what's going to happen in video games the following year. I've run this series for the past few years and I often find that my guesses are spot-on come December. That's always a rewarding moment as I reflect on a long 12 months. On the flip side, sometimes I'm so embarrassingly wrong that I get a good laugh to end the year.

This year, it's the latter.
