The Vengeance 2100 packs 2.4 GHz wireless audio with 10 hours of battery and a 40-foot range. There's also Dolby 7.1 Surround, 50 mm drivers, microfiber-covered memory foam earbuds and headband, a noise-cancelling mic and microUSB charge cable. The Vengeance is the priciest of the bunch at $149.99.
Also joining the Vengeance line are the Vengeance 1500 v2 and the Vengeance 1400.
