PS3 Bluetooth Headset Going Slim

Kotaku: A reader sent us this promo sleeve for the PlayStation 3 Bluetooth headset earlier this week, which now appears to be sporting a slimmer, sleeker design than the original model.

Not only has the ear clasp been made thinner, but the front buttons and indicators have been cleaned up too. The material also clearly states that this is an official Sony product, not a third-party offering.

I own a motorola and according to some user designed faq, the PS3 headset never works properly with motorola's Hopefully this one does.

I dont mind wireless headsets, its just when they cannot fit on my ear is when it gets annoying.
I hope they also improve the voice chat quality, it does sound quite hollow and picks up all sorts of noise.
Even my astro A40's have the same issue with the ps3 voice chat

they make the damn thing comfortable. I have 2 of the originals, and after 30 mins my ear is uncomfy. After an hour, it's almost unbearable.

ditto... a friend game me a gooie piece which goes over the O-ring. Most def. more comfy

I love the official headset. I used to have a third party bluetooth headset and every time I wanted to use it I had to navigate the XMB and enable it under Audio Devices. It was a pain, the official just needs turned on and it beeps automatically when it synced up to the console without going through the XMB

Hopefully they've changed enough so it doesn't hurt my ear after 15 minutes. I really don't want to shell out £75 for a pair of Turtle Beaches.

On the plus side the sound and voice quality are top notch.

I'll buy this day one ! Hated the original one

InactiveUser5714d ago

I didn't jump on the original, because I had a Motorola already, but I'd probably get this if it were bundled with a game I liked.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle58d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
