Tune In With PlayStation Earphones To Tune Out Nuisance

05/11/2011 Written by Ray Conley

Tired of hearing about the PSN still being down? Perhaps this awesome gear straight from the labs of Sony might help you tune into a different channel of gamer Feng shui.

Later this summer, Sony will be cutting the packaging tape on a wardrobe of PlayStation branded earphones. And for those of you that care about style, you’ll get to choose from six different color schemes to match that awesome tie your mother gave you for Christmas. Numbing your hearing will never feel better as you can now save the world on your PSP without those annoying outside distractions, or listen to our podcast with the ultimate PlayStation attire.

Popping these bad boys into your ears will set you back about $27 when it hits shelves this July 21 – in Japan. So you’ll probably need to hit up your Asian pen-pals or roll the dice on eBay for a chance to sport this new PS headgear.

    Is it just me or is Sony seriously whoring the hell out of their brand name lately…

    Playstation phone, playstation tablet, playstation headphones, playstation everything… I swear I preferred it a hell of a lot more when there was just ONE playstation line…

      i think right now, the more stuff they sell and make money from, the easier it’ll be recover any money lost from this fiasco.

      • Blkant says:

        I hope so, but at the same time i fear it may dissolve any name they may have left, I suppose really in t he end it depends on the rue quality of it all, however with the experia etc.. I remain somewhat concerned…

      • Jacky says:

        i think in the end it depends on the consumers and the choices they make towards the items, to buy….or not to buy

    • They’ve been expanding the PSN and the playstation brand for a while now, at least a year I think. It’s probably just a coincidence that a lot of it is coming out now with all this going on, but I think at least if they had moved up announcements it will let the public know that Sony “ain’t shook”.

      • Jacky says:

        if it’s something i’ve noticed about sony, when it comes to their products they know how to market them.

  3. LMAO. Tired of hearing about the PSN still being down?? ahh I see what you did there..

    No but seriously I would love a pair. REAL tired of my beat up iPod one’s. 27$ not too bad hope the sound quality is good, and they last.

  4. Jason says:

    kinda cool but theres nothing wrong with my earbuds i got with my ipod a few years ago so until those break I won’t be picking these up anytime soon unless they were wireless or something new other then the playstation logo on the side

  5. they’re just Skull Candy ear buds wit ha PS logo

  6. ZombieHell says:

    I use to always get Sony brand earphones but I switched to Skull Candy recently but I really love the PS Logo, I will either take the black or red pair

  7. kenny says:

    Yea it pretty much look like skull candy with the ps logo. Plus skullcandy headphones can come in lots of colors, But it looks good but I think skullcandy earphones are a little better.

  8. I like the blakk ones.. they’ll go well with my discontinued psp go. at least it can look nice.

  9. dhughes60 says:

    Those Sony brand earphones look amazing. I wish they were being released in North America but unfortunately they aren’t. Also If I were to buy a pair of earphones I would definitely buy the blue ones because they are my favorite color :) .

  10. StarENiX says:

    Skull Candy are made of generic parts. Most of their headphones are already mass produced by another company and rebranded with a skull on them. Their not the only ones that do this but they are one of the most successful.

    I really hope these aren’t rebranded headphones. These need to have good sound and build quality to have PS branding and for me to consider them. They are nice colors, might get them all (pink for little sis).

    no release in NA? damn sony break bread.

  12. SpeCtR says:

    Some will be anything made by sony..although it does seem like a great idea… i yhink ill stick with SKULLCANDY for my headphone needs….even the 30$ pair on there have AMAZING sound.. plus i have a lifetime warranty at no extra cost..lets see u do that sony

  13. SpeCtR says:

    Regardless what kind of headphones skullcandy has the best..for earbuds and over the ears…the string is different fabric in some cases to make it so it cant tangle up…skullcandy pushes lotsa ohms
