Sony’s new Platinum Wireless Headset for the PS4 will be releasing in January 2017, retailing for £129.99. The headset includes enhanced highly positional 7.1 virtual surround-sound powered by PlayStation’s proprietary 3D audio technology, and premium design compared to the previous Gold PS4 Headset.
DTS, Inc. has revealed that the PS4 is the first product to include the new DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 decoder, enabling the game console to decode 7.1-channel soundtracks streamed in the DTS-HD format. “By featuring DTS’ new DTS-HD Master Audio|7.1 technology, PS4 owners will be able to enjoy the same high-definition 7.1 surround sound experience received on Blu-ray from streaming and VOD services,” said DTS Executive Vice President and COO Brian Towne.
Back at E3, Sony revealed an all-in-one Surround Sound System for the PS3 with built-in subwoofer. The device will be available to purchase next week in the U.S. and Canada. You’ll be able to enjoy immersive audio by simply placing the Surround Sound System in front of the television and connecting it to the PS3 system with the optical digital cable.
Sony revealed a special surround sound system for the PlayStation 3 at E3 last month, and SCEJ has now officially dated the system. The surround sound system will be released on September 3oth 2010 and will have a price tag of ¥19,800 (around $199 / £150).
