Sexy SOCOM headset screens photo

Headsets seem to be the norm when it comes to extras that accompany big PS3 online games. Bundled with every specially marked box of SOCOM: Confrontation is a very sleek Bluetooth headset.

The headset's color is a silky flat black, with precious decal work on the side. The Sony PlayStation logo has never looked so refined. Notice the smooth curvature of the earpiece. It is style and comfort redefined. It practically screams, “Wear me!” Now observe the delicate button work, sure to satisfy any lucky consumer clicking the power button. Finally, check out the stand. Its noble base beckons the frag-tired player to relax, and quit screaming at children for a few hours.

For the refined gamer, this is a must-have. Unfortunately, as elegant as the headset is, it cannot hide the smell of body odor after a long night of spawn-camping, nor can it make anyone appear better to the opposite sex. Regardless, check out the gallery below for a few stunning screenshots of the tender hearing device that is set to ship October 14, this year.

Looks good. Here's hoping it doesn't sound like I got a sock stuffed in my mouth.

Bluetooth with a mute button, THANK YOU! That said, I'll still probably stick with my Metal Gear headset because it's just too damn sexy.

Hopefully this headset works as my Warhawk headset blows and I hate it

I think i like the look of the XBOX one more. I get the feeling that even though this looks sleek its probably just a piece of shit hoping to pull of the minimalist look.

Damn, this looks so much better than the one that came with Warhawk. I wanted the MGS4 one so bad, until I heard about the quality. :(

I'm really not a fan of SOCOM, but maybe I'll give it a chance to get the bundle.

It looks like that razor that has a base that washes it and stuff...

So the real question is: does this headset wash itself?

I'm not a fan of Socom so heres hoping they release this headset separately.

It'll be released separately, but for like $50. Might as well pay the extra $10 to get SOCOM and then sell it.

The real question is how is the sound quality and how much will this be when sold separately, which it had better be since I have no interest in buying SOCOM.
