jjjThe Official Bluetooth Headset for PS3
About 6 months back I posted the first images of the "UN"official PS3 bluetooth headset. Since then alot of people reported the image as being fake, and 3d rendered. Well Sony’s blog site has just confirmed the image is true, the image above will be the actual official PS3 Bluetooth headset. The headset will be officially unveiled during Sony’s Socom Media Day, the unit will come with SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation, as well as a single accessory this October. The unit with Socom Confrontation will be priced at $59.99, and the unit by it self will be $49.99! So that’s just about the jist of it, oh except for all the kick-ass features that are listed below!
* 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 HQ mode will ensure a much better voice chat quality on the PS3.
* HQ mode will also enable accurate speech recognition required to support or enhance ‘Voice Command’ and ‘Voice Animation’ features. 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.
* PS3 will display an 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.
* Tired of wearing the headset during a long multiplayer gaming session or is your headset battery running out of charge? Just dock the headset in the supplied charging cradle, and the headset will work as a desktop microphone while charging.
* Last but not least, the headset will automatically pair with the PS3 by connecting with a USB cable.
