About the PLa Headset

The Ear Force® PLa is the ideal headset for Playstation® 3 gamers seeking a more immersive experience compared to standard PS3™

communicators. Unlike basic communicator headsets that only let you hear chat in one ear, the PLa combines high-ﬁdelity, ampliﬁed

game sound with crystal-clear PSN chat in a sleek, compact design with independent game and chat volume controls. Noise-isolating ear

cushions help to block out distractions so you can concentrate on the game. If you’re serious about gaming, then get serious about the

sound. Step up to the PLa and experience game audio like never before.
