    Question Which PS3 Headset?

    Hi there,

    Can anyone recommend me a decent headset for the PS3, it doesn't have to be a Bluetooth one as a USB or wired one would suffice providing it will work ok with the PS3.

    I've heard that some people have had connection problems and cutting out with some of the bluetooth headsets so has anyone used or are now using a USB/wired one, if so please can you recommend me one?

    Haven't really got a budget but I suppose the max I'd pay would be upto £100ish for a decent one.

    TIA

    Jawbone is awesome. Heard only good things about the official headset as well, bar the looks of it.

    Re: Which PS3 Headset?

    I have to say that the official Sony heasdset is brilliant. The sound quality is very good, much better than the two third party headsets I had used previosuly, comes with a handy cradle and has a HQ mode, which actually does something! At £17.99 its very good value, spending £100 on a headset is (to me) madness.

    Re: Which PS3 Headset?

    Another vote for the official one from me, just got it recently. Sounds great and quite secure on my ear, not had any problems. Originally had a Jabra something or other which was horrible (and even cheaper than the official Sony one). I don't think you'll find much better, especially at that price.

    Re: Which PS3 Headset?

    Yeah I don't think I can justify spending a ton of a set of headphones with Mic, much prefer my surround sound anyways (should do, it's cost me enough). Sorry for my delay in responding, got hooked on completing Resistance 2 which didn't seem as long as the first and now I'm hooked on LittleBigPlanet, heh .
    It looks like I'll be buying the Official Sony one from Play, thanks for everyone's input!

    Another option is the Playstation Eye as it has a mic built in.
