The feature set on the back of the box has no new features compared to the existing version, so it appears to be a simple aesthetic upgrade for a device that was looking a little, well, clunky as we push on towards 2011.
As the box says, it'll be priced at $50, which is the same as the existing model. No word on a release date, but we've asked Sony and will update if we hear back.
Below is a comparison between the new headset, on the left, and the old, on the right.
