Tritton Kunai headset ships to chatty PS3 and PS Vita gamers

There are plenty of gaming headsets, but only so many specifically tuned to the PlayStation audience that aren’t made by Sony itself. Mad Catz’ Tritton label has just shipped a version of its Kunai wired headset optimized for both the PS3 and the PS Vita that might redress that (admittedly minor) deficit. About the only real customization for Vita owners is the option for a shorter 3-foot cord, but PS3 owners can plug in through USB and adjust voice volume independently from the gunshots and explosions. Regardless of which game console the Kunai links to, there’s a modest 25Hz to 20KHz headphone frequency range and few frills aside from a detachable boom microphone. Tritton is mostly counting on the price to lure us in, which just might work — at $60, berating players in-game with a Kunai will cost as much as one of the games themselves.

Kunai Stereo Gaming Headset for PS3 and PS Vita ships

We took a gander at the Kunai Stereo Gaming Headset for the Nintendo Wii U sometime in the middle of this year, and here we are with Mad Catz announcing the Kunai Stereo Gaming Headset for the PS3 and PS Vita shipping. Released under the TRITTON audio brand, Darren Richardson, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Mad Catz Interactive, Inc., said, “The release of the Kunai demonstrates our commitment to the audio category, furthering our strategy to provide gaming headsets across all major hand-held, console, and PC gaming platforms. We believe the ability to use the Kunai both for gaming and as a lifestyle headset provides a unique opportunity for us to expand our market share and deliver innovative products to the passionate gamers.”

No idea on pricing details yet, as the product page did not reveal anything further, but I am quite sure that scrounging around the Internet is going to reveal something eventually. Do you game with a pair of headsets, or do you prefer to have a full array of speakers to get the job done for you? [Product Page]
