Ben Heck’s Secret Commercial Product is…

…headphones? You may have heard that hardware hacker Big God Ben Heck(endorn) was hard at work on a commercial product. Everyone suspected it’d be some sort of retro-gaming player or otherwise related to his old school game console hacking. So, it’s a bit of a surprise that the product turns out to be a gaming headset for PC. The ‘set definitely looks ’70s geek chic and sports force feedback motors, 5.1 surround sound emulation, in-line control module w/mute, and cool LED read-outs on the cans. A retro feature you won’t likely welcome is that these are corded USB-based phones, not wireless. But true to Hecky’s (and they call him on Engadget) prediction, the Audio FX Pros are under US$100, at $80.
