It's hard not to look like a dork when screaming, "There's a Hunter on me!" to your online Left 4 Dead buddies. Astro Gaming, creator of high-end audio gear for the PC and console set, is doing its best to make serious gamers look slightly more cool.
Astro has teamed with urban clothiers Upper Playground to create new speaker tags for its A40 Audio System. The interchangeable tags will feature Upper Playground's signature Walrus logo as well as art from Sam Flores and Munk One. A separate Penny Arcade edition of the A40 Audio System Artist Series features tags emblazoned with Cardboard Tube Samurai.
Sharp eyes will note that the interchangeable tags come with and without holes to accommodate the removable microphone – making them ideal for use in public, where rocking your iPod with a vestigal mic won't earn you any points.
The Upper Playground A40 Audio System, which includes the A40 Headset and A40 MixAmp, will set you back $249 and works with PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The limited edition Speaker Tag sets run $24.95.
