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.

Releasesaimiami12mailafatkidroekzorsMadpup70 1. This is old news, even though I guess it's the first time it's been posted on here. The manager at my local gamestop told me that Sony informed then a while back that PS3 headsets would work with the PS4. Great news considering I just got my pulses back in december.
2. Oh wow, xbox users get to use their kinects? I'm far from a PS fan boy and I like both systems, I even used to own an Xbox, but microsoft will do anything to gouge an extra few bucks out of its costumers. Your either going to have to cough up the extra 25 bucks to by a headset converter (might be higher than that before a 3rd party makes one) or have every single noise in your room play through into everyone's ear. Current mics are bad enough picking up music/little kids in the background and now your going to have to use a device that is designed to pick up voices from far away and amplify them?
Replying to #2. You are clearly delusional if you think this is new. The current Kinect already acts as a Mic if you ever did research. So, this is just a feature they are carrying over. AND, who cared that you have to buy a new microphone.
new or not the kinect mic is complete garbage its going to ruin the xbox online play
You cant argue with this. I dont think anyone has ever used the kinect mic without being annoying
I have, turtle beach mic broke so i used to kinect as the mic and still used the headset to hear everyone one and i play in my room so no one was talking or anything
the kinect acts like a mic but it has horrible sound quality

Brad- Microsoft said they're making adapters to allow xbox 360 headsets for the X1, probably will make us buy them for ridiculous prices though...
well thats a good sign

PS3 wasn't big on headsets. Doesn't surprise me they would make them compatible with each other.

SCOReset-Glitch-Hack that will be good because then people who play ps3 wont have to buy new headset for ps4
It only mentions wireless headsets... I have wired TB's so I'll have to buy a new set
either way the wireless headsets are cheap so it doesn't matter
