Since Sony decided to go with Bluetooth technology within the Playstation 3 console, many third-party companies have been creating their own headsets, which were compatible with the console. While you can practically use any Bluetooth headset with your console, not all of them are actually designed to take full advantage of the features can capabilities of the console and this technology itself. Here comes the mighty Sony, finally releasing an official headset for the Playstation 3 console, which can be bought on its own for $39.99, or bundled within the latest installment of SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation for $59.99."

Platform Nation: : From the author's usage of the headset so far, Heiznerater (the review author) believes that it is a very high quality headset. This is both in physical construction and the sound. The actual headset is pretty solid and seems like it should last for as long as the battery life will. The quality of the speaker was awesome. People’s voices were crystal clear and this is due to the High Quality mode. This mode enables “better radio-frequency interference rejection”. In layman’s terms, it sounds great! The mic is very responsive as well. It was picking up everything I said without any hitches or hiccups. The only issue the author has with the quality of this headset is with the ear clip. For some very odd reason, the ear clip seems really cheap and flimsy. It just doesn’t seem to be the same caliber of the rest of the headset. It’s a minor complaint, but still should be addressed in the future
Nice.
I'm glad there is no discomfort, my PS3 headset I have now puts my ear in a raging pain after maybe an hour.
That and my kid chewed off the rubber piece that's supposed to fit in the ear. >.>
Plan on getting this asap
lol the dude's controller isnt even on :D love u sony u pay the mentally disabled to watch pre-screened gameplay and pretend they're playing the actual games.
2.0 eh? I might pick this up, these are quality headsets.
Lol, nice ad. But how are they chatting when playing COD Single Player? Cross Chat? :O
SPOILER! Crosschat in the next firmware update! I saw it implied in an ad so it must be true!
:)
I could care less about cross game chat. I want a universal party system. That's more important than cross game chat.
I completely agree. x-game chat is far less important then just being able to stick with your friends.
@sasan(above): I was joking buddy, calm down.
well id rather have a full catalogue of ps2 games on the psn store rather than ps1 games seriously wtf
Can't we have all of this?
Cross Chat is very useful for anyone who sends messages in-game.
Sending Messages:
-is more time consuming
-breaks gameplay experience more
-is slower
Cross Chat:
-is faster
-doesn't break gameplay as much
-you can chat more and faster
It's a great feature, and it's clear why it's the most asked by the PlayStation community.
no...just chatting using stock footage of COD:BO because they couldn't get MP footage =P
don't worry alpha, its ok to dream!!! =´D!! (it will come one day)
i love the original version. i'm not a hardcore online player, but it's a quality headset.....i'm sure this one is as well.
Yea I just bought it last month, and I am very satisfied with it. Shame this one was announced only days after I bought it :/ Otherwise I would have waited to get this one.
I was about to buy it, might wait for this one if its not much more expensive =O how is it? I heard it has problems being blue-tooth and all.
would love to hear ur verdict. its seriously one of my xmas list purchases =P
Cool. I'll pick this one up when my original PS3 headset stops working. This one looks a lot sleeker. I just hope it doesn't start to hurt your ear an hour later. That's the only complaint I have with the "1.0" headset.
Any earphone that sets inside the ear makes my ear hurt after awhile, looks like this one will do the same. Good quality mics though, except for the lack of noise cancellation, which it says the new one has.
At least the headset got a good review lol
For all of the so called great "features" that the ps3 comes with standard, and that give it such an alleged "edge" over the Xbox 360 video gaming console, why OH why wouldnt they include a bluetooth headset Standard with the purchase of every ps3???? To me Communtiy is a Huge factor in considering the purchase of a console, and not including a headset, and making the whole initial setup process just to talk online incredibly confusing for novice game players is counterproductive to creating a sense of communtiy......unacceptable in my opinion
