Hi everyone! Today, I’m back to talk to you about my favorite topic – PlayStation hardware! By now, you’ve probably seen that the official PS3 Wireless Stereo Headset is available now at a retailer near you. We’re very excited to bring you this advanced PS3 peripheral and we thought we’d take some time to walk you through the key features.
The Wireless Stereo Headset brings you an exceptional sound experience, a rechargeable battery, simple setup and a streamlined design that is as durable as it is comfortable. Available for $99.99 (MSRP) from retailers nationwide, the Wireless Stereo Headset gives you an audio advantage and high-quality voice quality (with a retractable microphone) at a seriously affordable price point. And yes, the official Wireless Stereo Headset pumps up more than PS3 games – Netflix, Blu-ray movies and more will benefit from the Wireless Stereo Headset’s crisp audio quality.
And don’t forget there are more official PS3 accessories coming your way this fall. Keep your eyes peeled for the Urban Camouflage Bluetooth Headset as well as a fan-favorite Urban Camo DUALSHOCK 3 controller hitting stores this November. And of course this November will see the release of the PlayStation 3D Display – PlayStation’s first official gaming display!
Are you interested in the Wireless Stereo Headset? What multiplayer games do you like to play on your PS3? Be sure to let us know in the comments!
I’m sure somebody mentioned it already, but here it is anyway: I really wish this was BT and didn’t require the dongle OR cost cutting didn’t result in 2 front usb ports unlike my old phat which had, 4!
I am the proud owner of the T500RS for my GT fun, and I will soon be the proud owner of the RS8 shifter. I really wanted this headset to be part of my racing rig, but now I can’t, because I don’t have enough USB ports. Kinda stupid no?
Random person: But Falaut, you can buy a splitter for the USB ports and have more.
To that I say, well wait a minute, I figure that these awesome peripherals need all the bandwidth of usb 2.0,especially something like an audio peripheral, do I really want to try a splitter and have my experienced lessened because all of a sudden two devices are trying to put data through 1 usb port.
end of rant.
Bought mine already at Gamestop on the 7th. An awesome stereo headset, works great for all audio on the PS3 and the PC. Wireless is a huge plus (I hate cords!). Thanks for a great product Sony!
if i had one, i would never let it go and use it all day everyday. and i’m not talking about the headset ;)
LOOKS COOL I SHOULD GET MINE SOON U ROCK SONY!
Where’s Kevin Butler? LOL
I been using my headset for 2 days and im loving it. The only thing that i dont get is they dont support 7.1 surround sound for movies. I wish they release some patch to make this thing usable on blu ray movies^^
@18 I’ve used this on my iMac with skype the mic works like a champ!!
Mmmmmm, she’s pretty haha
i know your able to use it on pc, but can you use the mic for pc?
Awesome,can’t wait to get it.
Is there a possibility that this headset can work on the PSP?
Abby Reyes tiene novio?
I got the head set days ago
Kind of concerned that you need a USB dongle to fully utilize this – dont like having to buy a USB Adaptor, just makes a clutter for me. Remember Sony, there’s only 2 USB ports on your PS3s now.
I much rather have a wired headset personally.
Waste of money ,it doesn’t have blue-tooth, that dongle hanging out occupies space i only have two usb ports
this looks great but just bough a turtle beach headset not to long ago so ima have 2 wait a little longer to get this cant afford to waist the money just yet……GOD OF WAR ORIGINS COLLECTION 2MOROW HELL YEEEE!!!!!!
I recently bought the stereo headset.
Pros: Very useful. Sounds good whether playing a game, watching video, or listening to music. Becomes very easy to use the controls once you get the feel of it.
Cons: As mentioned earlier, a little more bass could be helpful. ‘Surround’ sound doesn’t work with Blu-rays for some inexplicable reason.
Also, the overall build quality is questionable at this point. On mine, the earmuff pieces squeak a bit at the points where they are connected to the headset assembly. Also, the volume sliders feel somewhat cheap and may go bad before long.
Since I had a ton of credit at Gamestop built up, I only spent $20 at the point of purchase, so I’m feeling pretty good about the buy at this point. If I had to shell out a full $100, then I’m not so sure.
Thanks for the review!
