Just before all the big news breaks at this year’s E3 2012, Sony has decided to announce that they will be released a new item in the PlayStation accessories “family”. Sony unveils the ‘Pulse Wireless Stereo Headset: Elite Edition’, featuring “BassImpact” technology. 

 

Richard Ho, Associate Product Marketing Manager, broke the news on the official Playstation.blog, where he posted the following details, video and pictures of the headset. Ho talks about the new headset’s features in the post stating:

BassImpact technology translates bass sounds into ‘pulses’ around the earpads of the headset. Pulse – Elite Edition combines 7.1 virtual surround sound with BassImpact to deliver an unprecedented level of immersion, while sharpening your perception on the battlefield or anywhere else you play. This is truly the ultimate audio advantage.

The headsets won’t be available until “this fall” and will hit stores for $149.99 (MSRP), They are listed to work for PS3, PS Vita and your “mobile device”.

 

Features:

• Higher fidelity speaker drivers for dynamic sound
• Preset Modes to optimize your audio experience for select gaming genres, movies, and music
• Hidden noise-cancelling microphones deliver crystal clear voice chat and allow for a more streamlined design
• Compatible with your PS3, PS Vita, favorite mobile device or MP3 player (connects via built-in 3.5mm audio jack and included auxiliary cable)

If you are wondering if Sony is planning on fixing the audio issues with the last headsets, they are, “As promised, we will be releasing a new PS3 firmware update to address the unintended effects in certain games that were created by the “Sidetone” feature introduced with the PS3 system software update (v4.10). Thanks for your continued patience”.
