Sony Announces PlayStation AirPods with Lossless Audio and Low Latency | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Sony’s identified accessories as a meaningful growth vector within the PlayStation business, and it’s seen enormous success with products such as the DualSense Edge and Pulse 3D Headset. But it plans to aggressively expand its efforts in the area with products like Project Q, its new Remote Play streaming handheld, and official earbuds.

Just like AirPods, or any of the many rival products, the earbuds will feature “new wireless technology developed by SIE” which it claims will allow for low latency connectivity and lossless audio. You’ll be able to pair these with your PS5 or Project Q, and presumably a whole suite of other devices as well. They’ll come with a little storage case which doubles as a charger.

The platform holder said more information would be revealed later in the year, so you’ll need to sit tight for price and release date details. These should be a solid addition to PlayStation’s expanding product portfolio, however.

Bringing innovations…from Nintendo and Apple! These look cool though

I bought the 3D Pulse Headset at launch with my PS5. They promised 3D sound. Wasn't impressed. Why buy these?

@Uncharted2007 they do have 3D sound. Have you not calibrated yours? These earbuds are pointless, headphones deliver 100000x better audio for gaming

I expect the sound quality to be great but my first thought when seeing them was they look massive.

That sliding design on it looks kinda flimsy, kinda wish it was just a lid, but i'll probably be grabbing them because AirPods aren't supported on PS5 :c

I'm very interested. I like the Pulse Headset but
