    Sony is releasing a new premium headset for the PlayStation 4, which they’ve aptly called the “Platinum” headset.

    Superseding the Silver and Gold headsets, the new Platinum headset is fully wireless and 7.1 virtual surround sound capable, utilizing Sony’s own proprietary 3D audio technology.

    Featured above, you can view a trailer showcasing the headset, with Naughty Dog talking up the importance of audio in gaming and how this headset makes use of their 3D audio tech.

    The Platinum Wireless Headset is launching on January 12th of next year, with a suggested retail of $160/£128.

    I currently own Sony’s Gold wireless headset, and quite enjoy it. Do you own or have you tried their headsets? Sound off in the comments below!
