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.

  • Can’t wait to use it for Mw3 :}

  • When will it be out?

  • i cant sign in on kz3 home page

  • Cool! I’ll probably buy one of these!

  • Cool! I’ll probably buy one of those!

  • BUYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Batteries???

    Whats up with that? Do you have to use AA batteries on this? It should have rechargable ion battery in the device, otherwise its not worth it. I’d rather have this device cost $150, and you charge it via USB port…

    Care to comment?

  • meh, the sound on those “7.1″ surround isn’t that great, i’m sure sony’s will be somewhat better, but for $100 i want to use the headphones everywhere. you guys should bye a $80 pair of senheiser, or $100 bose, and use your blutooth for audio output only same thing gaming……and so much more otherwise

  • I m gonna buy it when it comes out i need a Mic

  • How about adding them as a bundle to the purchase of the console.

  • They come out in September, eh? Wonder if the PS Store will be up by then??????????????

  • I don’t like that the mic doesn’t look flexible. And I still have my doubts about how well the stereo headphones emulate 7.1. Nevertheless, it seems to be a decent pair of entry-level headphones for those who may not already have a pair.

  • I have complainer room mates, and this would be perfect for me. I could listen to my games in high quality… this is great. I almost bought turtle beack ones, but they were like $250, these are way cooler looking and cheaper. <3 you Sony

  • So the issue I have most with my Turtle Beaches, is chat sounds and game sounds come from the same source, and its hard to hear the chat sounds and theres no way to turn that up or down. Will the PS3 headset have something where its a lot easier to hear chat sounds over game volume or adjust the chat volume?

  • add me

  • For $99 these are going to get uncomfortable fast. Rather than promote this headset Sony should be working on fixing the PSN.

  • Sound is better than on this than the sound bar.

  • This looks awesome, i will definetely get one :).

  • These look nice….

    but yous should also add the option/feature to allow control of all game sound… and allow it to outputed to any bluetooth headset aswell…

  • These are definately a must have for any hardcore game I am sold already…

    but SONY should also add the option/feature to allow control of all game sound… and allow it to outputed to any bluetooth headset aswell…

  • These look great, I can’t wait…I am sold already…

    but SONY should also add the option/feature to allow control of all game sound… and allow it to outputed to any bluetooth headset aswell… PLEASE

    Me: I have very nearly bought the TB set recently. I didn’t want a corded set, but I was about to dish out the $$ for quality. This set means that now I won’t have to…provided it performs.

    Now, we gotta talk about that design…sigh. Can we have a do-over?

  • I have been wanting one for awhile so an official one from Sony works PERFECT :)

    How do you know? These aren’t out yet.

  • æo ○╨┬╫XjRj:z?W78 {{ä54!577│¦+│p♠5465A6♠♠♠

  • i was just looking at competitor’s prices for similar model headphones(read: turtle beach headsets), and this actually a really great deal, especially if it’s of the quality advertised. i’ll definitely get these one day, if i have the money.

  • FIX THE STORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i agree with Boobnoob69, whats taking so freaking long, i have over 100 downloads that i need to redownload cause of stupid ylod on my ps3, had to scoure the state just to find another 1st gen ps3

  • now THIS is what im talking about!!! ive been wanting one of these bad boys for awhile now. But 130+ is to high for me. This is a great price. it doesnt seem to be some flimsy one ear piece headset, and hopefully not one that dies to fast D: Although the sony one wasnt to bad, it got irritating to wear it after a couple hours. I will be getting this. And hopefully this isnt a let down. Which, so far, sony’s products have not disappointed me.

  • turtle beach is cheaper and not as fat

  • i would really want to get those, but sony, u should really start thinking about easier prices. most people dnt spend $100 on headsets

  • This is awesome! Good job Sony!!! I can’t download things I’ve purchased on the PS Store and I can’t purchase any new games!! So awesome!!!!!!!! You’re the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Are they better than Turtle Beach head set’s I wonder ? 8)

  • How can it have surround sound game audio if the PS3 doesn’t support outputting any audio but chat through usb?

  • I use px 21’s ok but after a while it look’s like you have been smacked round the side of the face with a frying pan loool comfort is important ? yea cost me £65.00

  • I think sony should make a USB expander for this. My ps3 slim only has 2 ports

  • I have surround button on ma px 21’s so if ya out put device is capable of surround audio,. All should be cool 8) not really sure on that one LOrdZardeCK lol

  • Is the head size adjustable to your own head? I won’t want it too big or too small. :/

  • These look sick and they are 7.1 Surround sound + Wireless. I would sell my Turtle Beach P11 and get these for sure.

  • wow loks cool but with dat money i rather buy a game

  • have a question… So with these stereo headsets i can hear all the noise from the game and if im trying to communicate with bluetooth i just use the micropfhone that it has and that eliminates the need to have a bluetooth right?

  • Those are beast as hell

  • @499 do u use an hdmi cable? if u do go to sound or audio settings and click support for multiple audio outputs or something like that , switch it to on

  • I’m stoked for this. I’ve been thinking about getting a new Sound System, but I guess I’ll just pick this up and keep my current one as it isn’t that bad for movies. I’m very curious as to how this virtual 7.1 is going to sound though, since that’ll be what makes my decision.

  • @622
    Yes

  • crz17, yes it eliminates the use of blue tooth headphone. You’ll communicate via the wireless usb microphone. I use the tritton pro series headphones and commms on ps3 and xbox 360 are crystal clear and adjustable. :)

  • “Your comment is awaiting moderation” I guess they finally heard me. FIX THE STORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Delete my account, or whatever, JUST FIX THE PLAYSTATION STORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • IF YOU DIDN’T HEAR ME THE FIRST TIME, FIX THE STORE!!!!!!!!! IT’S BEEN LONG ENOUGH. THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS GIVE US A STUPID UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I’M REALLY CONSIDERING SAYING GOODBYE TO ANY SONY PRODUCTS FOREVER. YOU HEAR THAT SONY? YOU WILL LOOSE A CUSTOMER. NOT JUST A VIDEO GAMES CUSTOMER, BUT ANY OF YOUR PRODUCTS AND I WILL TELL EVERYONE I KNOW NOT TO BUY FROM YOU IF YOU DON’T DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
