SOCOM headset unveiled

Posted on June 27th, 2008 at 14:02 EDT

As expected, SOCOM: Confrontation is set to release with a Bluetooth bundle much like Warhawk did about a year ago. Unlike the Warhawk headset, the one bundled with SOCOM is going to be an official PlayStation item and provide much better quality. The headset is supposedly designed with gaming in mind and will come with a much needed mute button, something that the standard bluetooth peripheral usually lacks.

The charging base is USB powered, so you'll be able to charge the headset when not in use via your PlayStation 3. GameStop is currently taking preorders for the bundled package at $59.99. If you're wanting to just get your hands on the headset as a standalone, that option will be made available, however Sony has yet to release an official price.

I might sell my warhwak headset to buy this one.

Still, I like the X360 more. Not that I have one though!

The thing that bugs me about bluetooth headsets it the amount of time they take to SWITCH ON and OFF!

That looks EXACTLY like the Jabra BT5010, which I have, which works perfectly (I might add). Consider yourselves lucky if you gt the Blu-Ray and that headset.

I can tell you right now, My headset has a similar ear speaker and it's not very comfortable atleast not for long periods of gaming. Keep that immind when you see it.

Also, I'd expect to see that this is manufactured b another company like Jabra or Motorola, if it's a Motorola I'd suggest waiting for reviews before rushing out and buying this when you can probably get a better one for half the price.

Also, also, Most Bluetooth headsets have USB plugs so you can already charge them via the PS3, you dont have to have a cradle for it.

From these two pictures it looks a lot better then the Warhawk mic, the dock is a nice feature as well.  Still if I was to buy a stand alone headset, I'd rather save and spend a little extra money on something that would be really comfortable.

There is already a headset with a mute button and good quality with a long speech thingy so it picks up sound much clearer its a gio something and its blutooth and not made for phones so its a gaming one

I already have 3 blutooth headsets. I dont mind have this one too. this one looks the best.....
