PS4 compatible with PS3 headsets, says Sony rep

4.7
The new PlayStation 4 will allegedly be able to connect to wireless headsets designed for the PS3.

That's according to a 'Sony official' speaking to Polygon at the San Diego Comic Con this week.

Sony will include a basic mono earpiece and microphone with every PS4 (pictured above) but, if accurate, the rep's claim means PS4 owners will have the option of using the slicker PS3 wireless headset instead.

PS4's compatibility with PS3 headsets was not a given, considering the PS4's inability to use PS3 DualShock 3 controllers for reasons undisclosed.

Xbox One owners will not able to use Xbox 360 headsets with the new console, owing to the Xbox One's use of a new proprietary headset connector port.

And Microsoft has confirmed that it will not include a new Xbox One headset with the console, arguing that that the microphone-equipped Kinect sensor found in every box will serve as a sufficient stand-in for multiplayer voice communication.

RATF now this is good news, Xbox One is not compatible with 360 headsets


It is very good news, but if you have been keeping up to date with the xbox they are going to be making a converter thing so you can use 360 headsets with the xbox one.


Yeah that's what i try to tell people..nobody seems to care though. I think it would be good.


Well, some people deny the truth for some reason, just for the fact they are a xbox/PS fanboy. They want to hear what they want about their system and make the other one seem like ****. But I like both consoles so I could care less which one wins in this "war".


I know. I don't know why they straight up deny it. And both consoles are great.


I like how they said the xbox ones voice chat will be like having a phone call with virtually no lag
