Offering planar magnetic drivers, a retractable microphone, up to 30 hours of battery life (with quick charging), and speedy and lossless connectivity through PlayStation Link (Sony's new proprietary wireless tech), it certainly sounds like it's taking things up a notch when it will find its way into players' hands come February 21, 2024.
