PS4 compatible with PS3 headsets, says Sony rep
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.

This is ****' awful, have any of you that think this is a good thing not hear the voice quality on the ps3? It sounds like you're using auto tune while speaking through a fan.

I hope its not just wireless headsets that can be used as am getting the Turtle Beach XP Seven soon for GTA V and want to be able to use them on my PS4 as well.
But good move knowing that we won't be stuck with the basic headset that comes with the PS4

dnasty239SAGE-CP That sounds really stupid.
Glad to see you didnt read and all you are going for is mvc by spamming.
ON TOPIC: this is great for PS users. I play xbox and am mad I have a $100 headset which will be useless for the xbox one that is stupid on microsofts point.
Stupid is not doing research because you would know their is going to be an adapter for Xbox 360 headset to work on Xbox one
Exactly, offical or not someone will make one. Bit considering my current headset is held together with electrical insulation tape, I'm not fussed about buying a new one.

Yea sucks for all the One buyers who had expensive headsets for the 360 but this is a great feature for the PS3 owners going over to the PS4.
