New Official Wireless Stereo Headset Coming for PS3

Do you hear that sound? It’s the sound of the enemy approaching your bunker. Only you’ve heard them way before they’ve even seen you and now your commandos are ready to unload. What’s your advantage? It’s simple – the official PS3 Wireless Stereo Headset – the latest addition to the PlayStation 3 accessories family.

Official Wireless Stereo Headset for PS3Official Wireless Stereo Headset for PS3

The official PS3 Wireless Stereo Headset will be available for $99.99 (MSRP) at retailers nationwide this September. Many more of your favorite franchises, such as Killzone and Gran Turismo, were also designed for surround sound audio. Featuring 7.1 virtual surround sound, the Wireless Stereo Headset lets you hear all the minor in-game audio clues clearly, whether you are in a firefight in a first-person shooter game or racing for the checkered flag.

Designed with comfort in mind for hours of gameplay, it’s the perfect addition to your PlayStation experience. Connecting the Wireless Stereo Headset with PS3 is made easy with the included USB Wireless Adapter. Precise volume controls and accessible microphone mute make it so you never have to interrupt gameplay to fumble for buttons. You can easily stay informed about battery status, sound controls, etc. with on-screen headset status updates. On top of that, the Wireless Stereo Headset also offers the highest quality voice chat for crystal clear online conversations. The mic is retractable so you can put it away if you just want to listen to music or play a single player game.

We’re very excited to be able to offer you yet another new way to get immersed in the game. Be sure to keep checking the Blog for more information soon.

  • so disapointedjust this morning i went and got the PS ear piece i turn on the blog and now its like the old bet model compared to these.beat

  • I’m wondering if the pre-E3 Playstation.Blog meetup will be announced anytime soon.

  • I don’t understand why it’s official and doesn’t use bluetooth??

  • Wow I just gotta say this makes me a little mad lol. I just dropped 220 for a set of turtle beach PX5. I love my headset, it has a few more features than this headset, but damn Sony offering a similar headset that will probably be a little more user-friendly for just $99!!! Damn. To eveyone that doesn’t have a headset and is thinking of getting a bluetooth headset just go ahead and throw down $50 more and get this one. That is a great deal. If the reviews are good enough when these bad boys come out I might be selling my turtle beaches.

  • Is the wireless signal analog or digital? I’ve got a pair of wireless headset, and analog is “scratchy”
    If they’re digital- what a deal! $100 is dirt cheap.

  • and sold. and not blindly either. cant wait.

  • nice!!

  • psn asia is back online

  • I am going to buy these. I wanna see reviews though but for $99… I’m pretty much sold

  • Taking-BakSunday

    Awesome mic

  • Fantastic! A few years back I bought the original PS3 bluetooth and that was really good. I wanted a surround sound set so I got turtle beaches and they were a major disappointment in terms of sound and comfort. I thought I have to shell out tons of money for ASTRO’s but this looks to be a cheaper, neater solution.

    I look forward to the reviews! I do worry a little about sound quality given the low price, but the cable-free base station-free approach means a lot.

  • tiadavisspecial

    OMG! this is gonna be awesome =D

  • ill stick with my turtle beaches although i wuld of bought these instead cuz they look sexy (drool) but sony u never asnswer this questions
    EX:
    OMG these look awesome!!!!
    sony: yah! cant wait til we get yur money!

    will these be rechargeable or no?
    Sony: …..

  • I’m gonna treat this like they did for their 1st PS3 Bluetooth headset. Eventually they will create a slimmer, more attractive & more advanced version of this PS3 Wireless Stereo Headset.

    The 1st PS3 Bluetooth headset was too big & would get uncomfortable after awhile. Then they released a newer PS3 Bluetooth headset that was smaller, attractive, more comfortale & with built-in noice cancellation.

    I’m sure they will create an updated version soon of this PS3 Wireless Stereo Headset that will be alot smaller, better on the eyes & pretty much Bluetooth enabled.

    This PS3 Wireless Stereo Headset is just ugly IMO.

    Peace

  • I think it is cool that they are wireless but I am unsure about the look of it. Price is interesting but it is a downer that it is a simulated surround sound.

  • Free pair please! :)

  • I wonder if this would work on PC

  • WOW i want these.. looks way better than the wireless headset i have, and i love the brushed metal on the top for style. i think im defiantly getting this <3

  • DaVinciAuditore

    I think it’s really nice! Can’t wait. I was trying to get a bluetooth but if this is just a little more, I’m fine by that. Thanks for the great products Sony.

  • What would be the advantages of this over a bluetooth?

  • Can we use it for other devices like pc or anything?

  • $99?

    Sweet.

    I wonder if you can use it on your PC too.

  • I love it, consider it sold.

  • @459
    There are tones of advantages to it. 1 its just fifty dollars more than the standard PS3 bluetooth and its over 100 to 200 dollars less than other 3rd party headsets. 2 If you don’t have you PS3 hooked up to a surround sound system then you aren’t hearing everything as clearly as you could be and even with surround sound its hard to hear somethings, this would be really great if you play a lot of first person shooters like CoD. 4 You could also use it to watch movies. 5 You can play your games as loud as you want without keeping everyone awake at night. If i didn’t already have a pair of turtle beaches i would so be buying this.

  • No way these will compare to Turtle Beach or Stennheiser

  • Hmm. Rather tempting. I’ve got a pair of Sennheiser HD 205s, but their a tighter fit than I originally expected and hurt my ears after an hour or so. How long do the batt’s last for this baby?

  • FOR SALE a pair of TURTLE BEACH PX5

  • im getting it best headset i ever seen to play call of duty. better than xbox.

  • @Hambone721
    Your more than likely right, but the price is just right on the PS3 wireless headset

  • for the price of my turtle beaches you could have 2 of these PS3 headsets

  • The wireless stereo headset look nice. I want one of those

  • Gr8!!

  • Any plans to implement Blutooth stereo in the future? I already have a pair of stereo headsets that I use for online, it would be nice if those would start to work like this one in a future firmware update.

  • :D I’m So Getting One Of These When It Comes Out Im Going To Sell My Old Playstation Head Set Yeeeeeee :)

  • will this be at E3 2 try out i cant wait if it is

  • Crap…I literally just bought the Triton AX720 setup. I guess I could take it back and just use my bluetooth until September…..Or I will keep it until the new one comes out and then sell it on amazon. Yeah that’s what I will do.

  • Honestly I wonder if some people actually read the articles they comment on. Some people saying stuff like “if they are cheap enough… If they are below 50dollars” It says RIGHT THERE in the article 99bucks.

    Anyway – I’m pretty excited for these. I have the bluetooth headset but it doesn’t help much for gaming at night time when the lady is in bed. I have a good set of sennheisers for my PC, but not for the ps3 and I was always wanting a good set. Now I have my answer. I love the official bluetooth device status updates on the screen when you tap the power button. Pretty excited to see this includes that ability. I look forward to getting me a pair!

  • you just need to implement custom soundtracks into more games so we can listen to music on the ps3 while we’re playing our favourite titles. xbox 360 supports custom soundtracks for every new game released. i’m hoping there’s also going to be an announcement at E3 concerning party chat and ps2 emulation coming to ps3. i’m a huge playstation fan (had one since 1996) but you guys are trailing behind microsoft in areas like cross game chat. still – free online is a huge draw and one of the reasons i choose to play mutiplayer on ps3 rather than 360.

  • WTH?

    OK, I was exited for this quite a bit actually, was always looking for a 7.1 headset and with the bluetooth headset from sony being so good, I thought this one would be really good too!

    But after looking at the accessory list, no 7.1 sound for blueray movies!?!? So 100$ for only games and nothing else???

    Please tell me it’s just a needed update like 3.71 cause when these come out, we’ll have 3.70 by then

  • @Snoopy… I own a pair of Pioneer HDJ2000s which I am using as we speak. In September I plan on buying a pair of Grado headphones, probably a bit out of your price range but you should try them someday.

    Those of us such as MYSELF who are asking about the PSN store are NOT trolls. And as a matter of fact Sony’s websites are still being hacked and in grease they had a good deal of customer information leaked. Good job Sony.

    These headphones are WIRED, they look like GARBAGE and are gimmicky.

    Bring the store back you losers…bring it back so I can download what I need to make my system somewhat useful before you idiots get hacked again.

  • Please tell me this is a indicator of cross game chat being in the works. …I think we need to start a petition.

  • Gorgeous. I want it.

  • Awesome! This is something that i’ve been expected since the PS3’s Launch. What will be the games that will support 7.1?

  • I think I need a napkin for I am drooling all over these I want so very bad.

  • that-acmilan-guy

    Awesome! Can I use this on my PC as well?

  • I think they look like nice headphones, I always liked bigger headphones over the smaller ones because they tend to be more comfortable. While I can’t justify spending that much on a set of headphones right now, I don’t really think they are over priced in comparison to other wireless headphones that I have looked at in the past (yet I must admit a more attractive price point for me would have been in the neighborhood of $50.00; maybe a half price special at some point in the future???.) If they produce good quality virtual 7.1 then they would likely be nice. However I would have to hear “virtual” 7.1 to be convinced that it can really be done convincingly.

  • Ok, Sony is just ignoring us now. They really need to get the store up soon. The wait is getting to be more than ridiculous. It’s getting stale. It’s bad enough we have to wait, but there’s been NO UPDATES AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FIX YOUR FRIKIN STORE ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i was gonna buy some px 5 from turtle beach but i might end up waiting for these

  • @480 all games support it… its just surround sound man…
