The new official headset for the Playstation 3 will be available starting October and will be offered in the retail version of SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation (will cost $59.99) and as a stand alone (will be available later this year for the price of $49.99).

  • The headset will work with any cell phone that supports Bluetooth.
  • It features a Mute button and a Charging Cradle.
  • The headset will feature “High-Quality (HQ) mode” with PS3. In this mode, the headset will take advantage of advanced voice technologies and noise cancellation techniques to provide clear and wideband voice input to the PS3.
  • The headset will support Voice commands and Voice Animation in HQ mode. Voice Command was originally used in SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs for PS2 to administer the AI-controlled teammates using the WHO, WHAT, and WHERE format (example: Bravo, Attack, Nav Point Zulu). Voice Animation refers to the in-game character mimicking you during voice chat. With HQ mode, these features can be enabled on a much larger vocabulary in select PS3 games.
  • In-game status indicator exclusively for this headset that will show the headset’s connection status, battery charge level, speaker volume level and microphone mute status.
  • The headset will work as a desktop microphone while charging.
  • The headset will automatically pair with the PS3 by connecting with a USB cable.

If you are planning on buying this headset you might as well get the SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation package… It’s like getting Socom game for an extra $10.
