PS4 firmware update to unlock use of 7.1 surround sound Pulse headsets
Sony also mentioned that its next PS4 and Vita-compatible headset, the Gold Wireless Headset, will arrive early this month for $99. The headset also includes 7.1 virtual surround sound in addition to "custom sound profiles" created by PlayStation developers. One of the developers to optimize a sound profile for the headset is Infamous: Second Son creators Sucker Punch. Sony will offer a Headset Companion App on PS4 for free, so players with either Pulse headset can access the sound profiles.
Sony's description of the Gold Wireless Headset notes that it uses a wireless adapter, which makes sense given the PS4's limited recognition of bluetooth devices. It also includes a folding design and customizable face plates, which is pretty nifty.

IntEthics This is amazing for ps4 users.
yes but should of been implemented in the first place.
Doesn't matter, they were pretty quick with updating it, keeping in mind the Playstation 4 came out not too long ago. If it were a year after release and this came through I would understand but oh well.

daRealRush I might consider buying one of these. $99 is a lot though.
It's about average for virtual 7.1. Plus the audio support adds value for money.

this will be good for the mlg players, even though ps3 doesnt have a big competitive base.
