Sony have launched new gaming headsets this week. The gaming headsets have been created around extensive user research. Playstation 3 users was giving a questionnaire to fill out about what features they would like on the "Ideal Playstation 3 headset".
This headset supports 7.1 3D surround sound, This will be a excellent feature for First Person Shooters. The headset is called the DR-GA500. Sony released a headset before but it has fewer features it was called DR-GA200.

here is the trailer for the headset, It looks pretty cool and pretty expensive. These will cost you about £149.00 Incl Vat.
Doubt this will make an impact. Has no Dolby Headphone support, how are you going to hook this up to an mixamp and achieve true sound. You can't. Its going to try to "create convincing 7.1ch 3D surround effects." You'd still be better off buying hpxs.
