Not everything that glitters is gold, you know. Sometimes taking home silver can be just as satisfying. Case in point: if you're a PlayStation 4 owner in need of a headset but don't want the wireless PlayStation Gold model, perhaps you'd be interested in their new, wired Silver model, which began shipping to retailers earlier this week.
The headset features virtual 7.1 surround sound, in-line volume and mic controls and a retractable boom mic. The PlayStation Blog post announcing the Silver's debut also mentions that there will be audio preset modes created by developers specifically for PlayStation games - for example, Far Cry 4 will have its own equalizer profile, as will The Last of Us, Infamous: Second Son, Watch Dogs and Destiny.
The PlayStation Silver headset is now available for $69.99.
