The £79.99/Ã¢¬89.99 is named the Wireless Stero Headset 2.0. It’s boasts 7.1 virtual surround sound, a noise-cancelling internal mic and eight hours of battery life. PS4 firmware app 1.60, due to be released tomorrow, will make the device compatible.

Also inbound is a companion app for the headset design to enahcne audio. It’s not clear just how the app will help with this, although Infamous: Second Son will be the first game to support the feature.

The headset will be available on February 10th.
