PS3 Bluetooth Headset | Nintendo 3ds

The Bluetooth Headset leverages advances in voice technology to bring next generation features to the PLAYSTATION 3 system. It features High-Quality (HQ) mode which provides wide-band and dual microphone input to enable accurate speech recognition required to support “voice command” and “voice animation” features that will be offered in select games on the PS3 system. Easy pairing with the PS3 system, in-game Headset status indicator, included charging cradle and easily accessible microp

As usual amazon’s price and shipping was a great deal.

Product is very lightweight, compared to other bluetooth headsets that tend to feel heavy after a hour+ of wearing, I’ve worn this for 3 hours with no ache or heavy feeling.

It comes with about half battery, a 6in usb to mini cable, and a stand. For those with the energizer 2 port controller charger, this will not fit the holder designed for the older version, however it works with the mini cable supplied plugged directly into the energizer charger.

Pros: PS3 ready, plugs into the ps2 and registers in 1 second, big mute bottom on the side, great mic and speaker.

In the past I’ve used my mobile bluetooth headsets for PS3 gaming and was always frustrated by the lack of sound quality, or functionality (with some headsets I would have to “connect” in the system menu every time I wanted to use them). Echo always seemed to be a pain with the few I’ve used!

I received the PS3 2.0 headset yesterday and spent about an hour and a half playing Black Ops multiplayer and it was noticably better. Little to no echo, very clear and seemed to be intergrated with the system better than 3rd party headsets (paring was simply plugging in – it also tells you the charge on the screen like the controller does which is nice). Thus for the short time I’ve used it it seems to be worth the money.

Also, it paired easily to my Android phone and the sound was also clear and loud (I left myself a message with it). The only two downsides are; 1) the plastic ear “hoop” is pretty cheap and I worry about breaking, and 2) no wall charger (comes with a short usb cable so you can chard from the PS3 – or any other usb device).
