PS4 won’t support voice chat via existing headsets
The news comes via GameInformer, which received its information directly from Sony. According to the platform holder, existing headsets just won’t work for voice chat on the PS4 – not even the Sony Pulse or official PS3 accessories.
A system update issued sometime after the PS4′s launch will make it compatible with current USB headsets, but existing Bluetooth headsets are not supported at all.
Presumably, new, PS4-friendly first- and third-party headsets will be released at or close to the console’s launch – but that’s no comfort for those who’ve recently splashed out on a new headset that won’t work with their new hardware.
It’s worth noting that the PS4 comes bundled with a mono headset, so you won’t be left with no option for voice chat at all.
The PS4 launches in November.

FrenzyRGOrtho Considering not many people use the mic on ps3 it doesn't matter.
Depends what game you're playing, if you play cod you will find alot more people using headsets.
Or a game like battlefield.

I noticed that whenever I play. I agree, it won't be a big problem to a lot of people.

PawnStarsTortuga Praise the lord !!! The old bluetooth headset did sound like Justin Bieber taking a ****.
Well that all depended on what kind of Bluetooth you were using lol
I had plenty that worked great
It's not the headset but the gamechat quality was terrible.
From what I hear, it should all be fixed in the newer console.

This is like when Apple made a new charger and none of the existing accessories that you had would no longer work accept they gave you an adapter you would have to pay for. I honestly think that sony should do something like that.
