The PlayStation Blog has listed some details for North America about the new PS3 headset available this fall. The peripheral will be available in the $60 SOCOM: Confrontation bundle, or as a standalone peripheral for $50, similar to the price in Japan. Some features of the headset include:

• “High-Quality” mode with use on PS3, offering noise cancellation and a better chat quality on the console.
• The quality of the headset will allegedly allow for more accurate commands of AI-controlled squad mates in Confrontation. There will also be “voice animation” where the player’s avatar will “mimic” them during voice chat.
• There will be an in-game status indicator exclusive to the headset. It will display connection status, battery charge, speaker volume and mute status.
• Cradling the set back on the dock will turn it into a “desktop microphone” while charging.

So, what say the headset purchasing vox populi? Is SOCOM worth spending an extra $10 for your fancy new Bluetooth PS3 headset?
