PlayStaiton_Gold_Stereo_Headset_3

As we patiently sit and wait for Sony to release a new firmware update for the PS4 which will allow us to connect the PlayStation Pulse Elite Headset from the PS3, leaks point to a new official headset from Sony that will be compatible with the PS3, PS4, and Vita. Popping up on Best Buy and other sites, the Sony  Gold Wireless Stereo Headset for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Vita is described as a headset with similar features to that of the Pulse Elite like virtual 7.1 surround sound. If you’re worried that this is just a rehash of the same headset with updated firmware to run on the PS4, think again as this new headset is also set to feature Companion App which allows you to:

 download custom game modes created exclusively for PlayStation by developers that are specifically tuned to enhance the audio in your favorite games 

Lets talk more details, after the jump.

It’s believed that the full details of the Gold Wireless Stereo Headset for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Vita will include:

  • A Headset for Gamers: Experience everything from the big booms to whisper-quiet warnings in stunning 7.1 virtual surround sound** (7.1 Virtual Surround Sound and Audio Modes are only available on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 systems and require system software versions 4.20/1.6 or later respectively) and chat with friends through the hidden noise cancelling microphone
  • Developed by PlayStation: With the Headset Companion App, download custom game modes created exclusively for PlayStation by developers that are specifically tuned to enhance the audio in your favorite games
  • Stylish Comfort: Slip into comfort you can enjoy for hours and a look you can take anywhere. Further customize your look can take anywhere. Further customize your look by swapping out the removable faceplates for something more your style
  • Adaptable Audio: Connect wirelessly to your PS4, PS3, and home computer, or connect to your PS Vita system or other mobile device with the included 3.5mm audio cable and take your sound with you
  • Compatible Hardware: Mobile Devices (Not all mobile devices are supported. Certain features may not work on some compatible mobile devices)

If the leaks turn out to be true and there is little pointing to them not being authentic, then expect an early Spring launch with a $129.99 price tag.

Update:

Sony has officially announced the PlayStation Gold Wireless Headset with price and release date.
