That would be excellent. Will this update allow me to use my Skullcandy wireless Plyrs? If not I'll just keep using the Skullcandy Assassin's Creed set I bought with input in the controller but I feel that sucks my DS4's battery even more.

I kind of wish I didn't get the Pulse Elites and purchased this new set. The Pulse Elites is probably the most uncomfortable headset i've ever owned.
It's great i'll be able to use them on the PS4 finally.

I'm sure they're working on these in the order of importance. I would be more upset if the PS4 wasn't released yet because they were working on these features still (but that's just me). I can't wait for the sleep function myself though.

The PS4 was trying to help you guys. =(
I'll wait for the official release notes for the update as to what is being added/fixed/changed....
I'm crossing my fingers for application suspending in Standby mode (Did you know the PS4 already has the ability to suspend an application but it only is done when using video apps or trimming videos)
Wonder if Eric Lempell is also the PS4's update firmware guy

I highly doubt suspend resume would go unannounced, it'll be a major update

out tonight or tomorrow?
I really hope these are next in line.
I also want the option for my TV/speakers to continue outputting chat audio even when I have a headset plugged in. Sometimes I've got a friend over and it's fun to hear what someone else is saying. Right now the only options for headphones/headsets is "Output voice audio" and "Output all audio" with no option to disable outputting audio to the headset entirely.

Did they announce how much these will cost?
Hopefully less than Pulse because the Pulse ones were extremely overpriced, these headsets should cost no more than $100, $120 AT most.

Theres a ton I'm still waiting for, but stability updates are always nice, it has been a little slow to start up and get online for me as of late.
The other things added in this patch don't really affect me.
Hopefully the next one can take some more stuff off the list, such as suspend/resume and custom soundtracks/mp3 support, etc.
Although the mp3 support and soundtracks are still a minor thing for me, i know they aren't for others.
That suspend/resume though... Man do i need that.
However anything that will make my PS4 log me in and get me online faster is always great, as sometimes, it doesn't even log me in, just keeps showing the spinning loading indicator by my friends list and whats new etc.
Hopefully stability updates will fix that for me overtime, as well as get me on faster (which is the main deal here, as the spinning indicator thing doesn't happen much, but what does happen a bit, is slowly getting online).

While I agree with others that this is light on features and the PS4 OS is really missing a lot of them surely you guys know that system stability takes a big priority over features right?
Get a stable base first then look to heavily adding features.

Haha! Does suck when you put it like that.
I hope there is another big update around the Japanese launch!
Yyyeeessssss! Man finally! I bought the pulse headset last year and that same day when I got home my ps3 died. I was only able to use it for like an hour when it happened, so I put it back in its box and waited to get the ps4, I went a full year without gaming but now I can finally take then out of the box! (Again)
Wait and see what the stealth fixes are. Sony tends do fix a lot of things and not put them in the change logs, from past experience on PS3 anyway.
Not going to lie, I'm a little underwhelmed as I was expecting more than a microphone mute function and official headset support. Don't get me wrong I welcome this update with open arms. As I don't have a sony headset, I would like to have bluetooth accessory support such as headsets, remotes etc. I was expecting that to come with this firmware update, but it looks like they are only supporting official headsets only which f***ing sucks. I loved how with the ps3 I could pick up any old bluetooth headset and pair it up. Who knows they could listen and implement it so I won't give up on them just yet. Does anyone know the size of their OS team? Just makes me wonder as the amount they have added for 1.6 is quite small. Unless I'm being a stupid fool and don't realise the amount it takes to programme these functions into the PS4 OS. Or maybe I'm impatient. Lol
EDIT: Don't get me wrong I'd like them to get the OS foundations/functions stable first so maybe thats what they're doing.
Anyway here's to the next update!

Stealth updates might be in there, if not I wouldn't be surprised to see another update around the Japanese launch.
Never tested it but it does work with the PS Vita.
That's a good point. It doesn't make sense to jump from .5 to .6 for headset support and stability fixes. Fingers crossed!

I'm still one salty mother fucker about the fact the PS Camera couldn't be muted. Such a stupid and ridiculous oversight. Stoked that it can be fixed now at least!
Well at least let me see people that share the same PSN as their PS3 status.
I don't think the naming convention works how you think it does. We don't know how they develop new features, what their priorities are, why they'd wait this long and then have another rumored update in a few weeks. I wouldn't expect more than fixes than what they've said, I'm just saying to wait and see if there are any stealth fixes. I would expect this one to be a smaller update than the one prior to the Japanese launch.
I agree. I guess I should have prefaced it with "this is pure speculation based on wishful thinking"

When a trophy pops up is there a button I can push that goes straight to that trophy and tells me what it was?

Pulse Elite Support is all I needed to hear. Good news.
It's not adding new features, it's just a new headset designed for PS4. It's essentially the same as the Pulse Elite, only it doesn't have bass impact. And the MSRP is $99 instead of $149. It's more or less taking the place of the Stereo Headset actually.
