LATEST FEATURES Being A Console Is Actually Xbox One's Worst Asset
Microsoft's newest console has lots of different features, but video games might hold the device back from the software giant's true intentions.

Am I the Only One Who Thinks These PS3 Cans Look Stupid?

Posted on Monday, May 30 @ 10:46:45 Eastern by

Look, I'll be straight with you. My ears are very large. They're also pretty droopy. I get them from my grandpa. Still, I don't need headphones this big to compensate.

These are shots of Sony's official wireless PS3 headphones. They've got a retractable microphone and will apparently provide 7.1 sound with on-screen battery and sound displays. The headphones will be available in September for $100.

As much as I like surround sound that doesn't disturb my girlfriend (or my neighbors), I can't say I'm in love with this set. What do you think? Let us know in the comments.

    I think they are a good looking headset. I love the idea of a retractable microphone instead of a detachable one (less likely to lose). But the audio is going to have to superb for me to give up my PX5s.

    Yeah, I don't wear headphones that mess up my hair, even if it isn't done.

    Hm, I actually like the look. It might have more to do with the 100$ price tag though.

    I already have the old Sony Bluetooth headset for my PS3, don't think I'll need these that badly. Right now the PS3's in the basement, and I can have the TV on loud enough so I can hear it without bothering the people upstairs. Still, I like the look. Simple, not too frivolous, and it does look comfy from the pictures.

    If it can give surround sound to people who don't have the money or decent rec room for a full surround system, then I think it's a good idea.
    Personally, I'm not willing to give up my room shaking sub-woofer. The 7 might be good in the headphones, but a good .1 is really important.

    They're sleek as hell looking, but I'm a cheapskate. $100 hurts my soul.

    Are they bluetooth headphones? Does this mean the PS3 is getting A2DP?

    They look cushy. If I owned a PS3 and was able to scrounge up enough change from my couch cushions I'd consider picking up a pair.

    Not too big on the look but if they're actually comfortable... well they're still cheaper than turtle beach. I have a Tritton headset, and I can't say I'd recommend them to everyone, but they were fairly cheap. They still don't provide full surround sound though so $100 doesn't seem to bad for these if you can hear peoples footsteps before they creep up on ya Bang!
