The best headset is Earset 2 by Bang & Olufsen of Denmark. It costs around $350. It is available for both ears.

I'd recommend going with 1 of two headsets. Either the headset that sold with 'Warhawk' or the upcoming 'Metal Gear Solid 4' unit. Those are the only two that have definitely been incorporated perfectly to function with the PS3 system. All others will work, but the functionality will be questionable. I have read other forums where many people with the same headset (varying styles too) have different experiences. A lot of people are saying that their headsets need to be re-syncronized every time they turn on their PS3.

i just picked up a jabra bt2010 and it works fine for the price. incoming is somewhat distorted. but i can still hear what they are saying.

I have a Jabra BT350 which works great. Also own a Jabra 2025 which was inexpensive and works pretty well.

As someone else said, most any headset will work. You don't need anything fancy, so just look for a deal.

I've got a Motorola H600 and love it, I highly reccomend it. It's a great headset for only $60.

Pelican170 · 05-19-2008, 02:50 PM

I just use the cheap one that came with my cell phone and it works just fine. The ones they sell for gaming in the stores are a rip off. can find one just as good for much less....

Agreed. Don't buy a MadCatz or GameShark, they are the biggest peices of junk ever.

kingofgrills · 05-19-2008, 06:24 PM

A good place to check for a headset is Overstock.com. I bought a Motorola H500 Bluetooth headset with a bonus car charger for 28.99 with $1 shipping. The retail price for it is $89.99. It works perfectly with PS3 and has crystal clear sound and mic. It was a screamin' deal and well worth it.

Overstock.com has a bunch of Bluetooth headsets that are dirt cheap compared to retail and work with PS3. I also bought a Logitech bluetooth headset from them that I use with my Blackberry. It's also fully compatible with my PS3. Both of my headsets arrived within 5 days of ordering them. Also, if you have any difficulty with them the return policy is really easy.

Don't spend retail on a headset, because they're all overpriced. You can get a top of the line headset dirt cheap at Overstock.

I had no idea the Eye was that good at chatting!
i just ordered the MGS4 headset, which will come in handy as either an in-game chat tool, or a cell-phone headset... but perhaps I should consider the Eye for gaming and just use the headset for my cell...

Thanks for the info on the Eye!

The only time I could see a headset being better is if you have other people in the house talking about day to day stuff and you wanted a more "local" conversation. Despite having a full house that's not the way it works out around here.

Having a mic that is always fully charged is another benefit.

The Jabra BT-125 is the one that comes boxed with Warhawk iirc. I think it's pretty crappy, but have not gotten around to replacing it yet. Definetly in my plans though. I was thinking of trying out a Jawbone.
