PS3 Wireless Headsets Will Work with PS4

PS3_Bluetooth_Headset

Things continue to get better for the PlayStation camp. At Comic-Con, a Sony official went on record that PlayStation 3 headsets will be compatible with the PlayStation 4. While we’ve known for some time that like the PS3, the PS4 would also include Bluetooth which meant any of your off the shelf Bluetooth headsets would work with the console, we never knew the state of headsets specifically designed for the PS3. Now we know that whether it be the basic PS3 wireless USB headset or the more premium Pulse Elite Headsets, compatibility with not be an obstacle for would be up graders. The same however cannot be said for Xbox 360 owners, looking to go to the Xbox One.

Much like the 360, Microsoft has decided that the Xbox One will not utilize Bluetooth, ensuring that you have to buy headsets made specifically for the console. To make matters worse, any headset purchased for the Xbox 360 will not be compatible with the Xbox One. It’s also worth noting that the PlayStation 4 will come with a mono headset, which is included in the base model for $399 which can now once again be pre-ordered from Amazon while the $499 base Xbox One will not include a headset. Microsoft instead wants to push owners towards using the included Kinect.
