Do you have a PSP headset? Not too many people do. Sony's official headset may seem cheap but don't be fooled: it requires that you have another accessory--one that isn't included with the $20 price tag. The PSP remote is also required for those that want to take advantage of Sony's microphone. Sure, it came included with PSP Value Packs, but many late adopters of the system will be forced to buy a separate $20 accessory.If this all sounds too confusing to you, don't worry. Plantronics is releasing their own third-party headset accessory, which combines the functionality of Sony's headset and remote. It may seem expensive at its $35 retail price, but that's actually cheaper than buying both of Sony's peripherals. PSP GadgetZ also notes that Gamestop.com is providing the headset for even cheaper: $30.
While $30 may seem a bit steep for a headset, gamers that want to take advantage of the upcoming Killzone multiplayer patch may want to grab this as soon as possible.

How is this cheaper, if you already have the remote, it comes with the psp, if you kept it the Sony headset doesn't seem as expensive, and also it's pretty much the same price, I can go to BestBuy, for the headset: 19.99, and also get a remote if I already didn't own one for 7.99, thats still cheaper than 35$.

The Plantronics site doesn't seem to mention how long the cord is. The picture makes it look very short... I'm hoping it's longer than that on the actual product. Heh.

You think $35 for a headset seems expensive? I guess it depends on what the sound quality is like, but to me that sounds awfully cheap. The speakers must be pretty crappy. Like the crappy buds you get for free with the PSP (or any consumer product).

Idk i was bored n looked into this product n found out that it recieved a 4.4 rating out of 5. The source was from a comment with a link to it, however it was in Francois (french) n i dont speak that so yea. But anyway i ordered one and it should be coming with 2 dayz (air) soo i'll comment back on the sound quality and the length of the cord, lol, sometimes headphone/headsets advertise their products with the cords shorter so it looks more appealing in the pic. Anyway i'll see within a few dayz......1

I tried them yesterday April 25th and they are not loud enough for me! I need something that is a bit louder with all the flying I do through the year so I returned them and I am still looking around.
