As Joe Pollicino over at engadget.com recently noted, the Ear Force XP500 headset features the same design and programmable Dolby virtual 7.1 as Turtle Beach’s PX5 headset, but comes with additional features such as a rechargeable Xbox 360 Bluetooth Chat Adapter and a green trim.

The XP500 headset is both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 compatible, and comes with features such as Microphone Monitoring, which enables users to hear their voice through the headset and Dynamic Chat Boost, which automatically increases the chat level as the game volume increases.

It also enables users to configure up to 18 personalized presets, so they can optimize chat, game and microphone audio for various gaming situations. It also comes with sonic silencers, which eliminates ambient noise pickup on your microphone and cuts background noise from PSN/Xbox Live chat.

The Ear Force XP500 headset will be arriving sometime in the fall, with a MSRP of $269.95. If you’re looking for a more affordable-priced gaming headset, you might like Turtle Beach’s Ear Force XL1 headset. This will also be arriving in the fall, and has a MSRP of $39.95.

According to a recent engadget.com article by Amar Toor, the wireless PX3 headset – which was designed for use with the PS3, but is also compatible with the Xbox 360, PC and Mac – includes 18 interchangeable audio settings, as well as supporting additional presets that can be downloaded directly from Turtle Beach.

The PX3 is the very first Turtle Beach headset to come with a rechargeable, 10-hour battery. Just like the Turtle Beach PX5 headset, the PX3 comes with an impressive set of audio features. This includes Sonic Lens with Sound Field Expander and Ear Guard, with Blast Limiter technology.

As for price and availability, the PX3 has an MSRP of $149.95 and will be available sometime this summer. Meanwhile, the Xbox 360-friendly Z6A headset is powered by a 5.1 channel amplifier with bass enhancement, and boasts 8 amplified speakers (including 2 subwoofers).

The Z6A has an MSRP of $99.95 and will also be available sometime this summer. Are you thinking about buying a new gaming headset?

As Anand Agarwal (product marketing manager, hardware) over on the blog.us.playstation.com website notes, the official PS3 wireless stereo headset – which has been priced up at $99.99 – features 7.1 virtual surround sound, enabling players to hear all minor in-game audio clues clearly.

The official PS3 headset has been designed with comfort in mind, making it ideal for those of you that spend hours at a time gaming. Connecting the wireless stereo headset with the PlayStation 3 has been made easy with the USB wireless adapter that comes included.

An accessible microphone mute and precise volume controls mean that players won’t ever have to interrupt their gameplay to fumble around for buttons. Thanks to the on-screen headset status updates, players can stay informed about the status of their battery and sound controls etc.

The official PS3 wireless stereo headset also features a retractable microphone, so users can tuck it away when they’re not using it. Do you like the look of the new PlayStation 3 headset?

The first we’d like to bring you details on is the RF-GPS31104 Bluetooth mono headset, which provides gamers with up to 8 hours of talk time and up to 160 hours of standby time. This headset comes with small, medium and large silicone gels that will provide users with the best comfort for their ears.

The RF-GPS31104’s wireless design allows you to move around the room whilst gaming. If on the other hand you would prefer a device with noise-canceling included, then the RocketFish RF-GPS31126 wireless PlayStation 3 headset might be the one for you.

This headset features PureSpeech noise-cancellation technology, touch sensitive volume control that allows you to adjust the volume quickly and easily, and provides users with up to 100 hours of standby time and up to four hours of talk time. It also comes with 3 fitted and 4 round earbuds.

If you’re not really keen on the Bluetooth headset and you’d rather purchase a USB one, then the RF-GPS3007 would be more ideal. The RF-GPS3007 features an over-the-ear design, in-line volume and mute functions and a 15 foot cable that gives you plenty of room to move.
