PS3 Bluetooth Headset Going Slim

A reader sent us this promo sleeve for the PlayStation 3 Bluetooth headset earlier this week, which now appears to be sporting a slimmer, sleeker design than the original model https://kotaku.com/take-a-look-at-sonys-official-bluetooth-headset-5020959 Not only has the ear clasp been made thinner, but the front buttons and [[link]] indicators have been cleaned up too. The material also clearly states that this is an official Sony product, not a third-party offering.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); The feature set on [[link]] the back of the box has no new features compared to the existing version, so it appears to be a simple aesthetic upgrade for a device [[link]] that was looking a little, well, clunky as we push on towards 2011. As the box says, it’ll be priced at $50, which is the same as the existing model. No word on a release date, but we’ve asked Sony and will update if we hear back. Below is a comparison between the new headset, on the left, and the old, on the right.
