Let the trash-talking commence! Sony Computer Entertainment Japan has confirmed that it will release a Bluetooth Wireless headset for Playstation 3 on October 30th priced 5,000 yen.
Users will be able to use the headset on chat-enabled titles such as SOCOM: Confrontation, Resistance 2 and Motorstorm Pacific Rift.
The wireless headset is an ear hook type headset, designed to fit either ear. Installed with Bluetooth, it pairs automatically with PS3 by simply using the bundled USB cable. The inner ear phone speaker of the new headset along with the noise cancelling feature when in High Quality mode delivers stable, superior sound.
Additionally, the bundled cradle can be used to charge the battery which will allow maximum of eight hours of voice chat when fully charged. While the Headset is connected to PS3, it will support on-screen indicator showing the headset connection status, battery charge level, speaker volume level and microphone mute status at a push of a button.
The headset is expected to debut in North America and Europe shortly after.
