[PS3] PSN Headsets

[Colonel Angus]

Now that Psn is back I can't find my Bluetooth headset anywhere. Looks like I'm going to need to buy a new one, but have no idea what I'm looking at. Any suggestions? Which ones do you use?

I use an old ass Nokia bluetooth that works for voice chat. I'd like to upgrade to a good surround sound headset eventually though.

I use the turtle beach PX5 headsets. Pricy but their amazing.

$150 for a headset? And I thought the Sony Bluetooth was pricey...I'm looking to keep it under $30

For under $30, you probably want to look at regular bluetooth headsets. Most work fine. However, I know there is a list of brands/models that seem to have problems pairing with a PS3.

EDIT: Here's a quick guide with a list of compatible bluetooth headsets at the bottom.

The official Sony headset is where its at. Mine has been running like a champ for a few years.

Just curious for those that use those over ear Turtle Beach headphones, can you still hear the sounds from the tv effectively?

Yea, I splurged on this for multiplayer fps's. It's the way to go if you ever decide to fork over the cash.

Not really, unless you have your tv turned up. With the set that I have, it has 7.1 surround sound. Also, volume control for game and mic are seperate.

I use an old bluetooth ear piece that was for a phone I had years ago. So, you really don't have to spend much money (if you don't have it)

I don't even have my TV volume up most of the time when I am playing with my headset. I have the Turtle Beach PX21's so the sound just plays through that.

The Turtle Beach X11s are on sale at best buy for like $30. But they only work on xbox. Lame.

 

[Colonel Angus]

You can make it so the turtle beaches play the games audio through the headset, comes in handy if you are playing shooters. I got the x11's for $60, and they can be used on a PC, 360, or PS3.

The description for the ones on sale on bestbuy.com says xbox 360. I would definitely pick these up for $32 if they worked with PS3.

The true OG headset was the one that came with this:

You can slightly see it in this tiny ass picture:

Thanks for your input guys. I just found my headset in a box in my basement. Yesssssss

With the PX5's the audio from gaming comes through your headset in 7.1 surround sound as well as people talking to you. It has a feature that lowers the audio of the in game sound to hear your team.
