A new FCC listing could indicate that the PlayStation Earbuds with noise cancellation could be unveiled soon. This comes on the heels of earlier hints that Sony may be considering making wireless earbuds for the PlayStation 5 console. Further details have now been sighted with the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) giving the Sony USB Transceiver approval for launch.
The registration of the new pair of
wireless earbuds with the FCC, together with the USB Transceiver comes on the
heels of Sony’s recent audio flagship launch. The new earbuds are however
rumored to be specifically designed for the PS5. The new Sony wireless earbuds
will feature noise cancellation and are described as a wireless noise-canceling
gaming headset.
As per the FCC database, the earbuds’
model number is YY2977 while that of the USB transceiver is YY2980. It is noted
that the PlayStation 5 does not support Bluetooth connectivity. Hence the USB
transceiver is a perfect accessory for achieving wireless connectivity for the
earbuds. The earbuds will be of the standard hinged-box design and will not
have a case as previously rumored. It is also rumored that the new Sony gaming
headset will come with PlayStation or INZONE branding.
The FCC listing of the upcoming PS5
earbuds and its accompanying USB transceiver indicates an imminent launch.
However, Sony has not released any official statement on the products. The
pricing and release optics of the new Sony accessories may be rolled out
shortly.
