San Diego – December 10, 2015 – Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. (“Mad Catz”) (NYSE MKT/TSX: MCZ) announced today the E.S.PRO 1, a new and unique way to enjoy tournament-grade audio quality without the bulk and weight of traditional over-ear headphones.

Fully equipped for competitive play, the E.S.PRO 1 features a removable, omni-directional boom microphone, ideal when chat is of primary importance. When not gaming, users can also access theE.S.PRO 1 in-line microphone, complete with automatic noise and echo suppression. To make every second count, the E.S.PRO 1 boasts easy to reach audio controls, allowing gamers to adjust the volume, mute chat, and control track selection.
Addressing a further issue common with regular earbuds, the E.S.PRO 1 features innovative soft-rubber support arms, designed to gently fit inside the ear and prevent the earbuds from falling out during heated gaming sessions. In addition, to aid with comfort and acoustic isolation, the E.S.PRO 1 comes complete with optional earbud attachments designed to fit virtually any size ear.
