PostBest PS3 Headset?
by Preezy » Sat Nov 21, 2009 10:53 am

Simple one really (I hope)

I currently use a very old, smelly SOCOM 2 headset that I got when I bought the game second hand for my PS2 many moons ago. Trouble is, it only works when it feels like it and so I want to upgrade to a more comfortable, more reliable headset for online gaming.

What would you fellow gamers recommend? I'm ideally after a headset that only has 1 earpiece so I can have people talking in my ear, and the sound of the game still coming through the TV (which my current SOCOM headset does). The only headsets I've seen put all the sound through 2 earphones, which I don't really want tbh.

Any ideas?

Cheers in advance (although you may get a secondary thankyou if you can find me what I'm after ;) )

The official headset is supposed to be the best.

thanks for that, I've read the reviews of it, I guess I'll have to investigate this one further. Not sure if it looks particularly comfortable though :?

I think this one may be more like what I'm after

This comes with a really nice and comfy official wired headset and it's only £11.49! You could then keep/trade/sell Socom 3.

The official headset again, but it's only £17.99 on play.com.

Not the best looking thing, but when I've used it in the past it's been surprisingly comfortable and works a treat.

Cheers mate, I think I'm going to probably get the official bluetooth one. One of my mates has it so I'm going to quiz him about it when I see him tomorrow.

Not bad at £17.99 aswell

Hi Preezy, I have the official headset, my experience of voice-chat on the PS3 is not great. To be honest I don't know if it is the headset, PSN voice-chat, or people using cheap, bad quality, headsets. For me it feels uncomfortable after 30minutes-1 hours play. Most importantly sound quality, other people tell me I sound good, but other people sound crackling, unclear, and its not always easy to determine what they are saying - this could be because they use cheap headsets. And I always hear an echo of my voice, which i've read is what you get with all bluetooth headsets.

I'm sure there are a lot worst, but I've been considering trying this logitech one out.

I've got a Nokia HN-101 or something. It was only seven quid and is meant to be great.



It's strawberry floating bollocks. Echoes like a whore and the only volume settings seem to be "whisper" and "painfully loud."

Got to agree with this. The official headset makes my ears ache terribly. It's very uncomfortable after an hours play.

Sound wise it's great although I've got nothing to compare it to. I've been told I sound nice and clear through it and I can make out what everyone else is saying too.

I'd go with the Official one just because of the name and the price. Either that or find a USB set. They're apparently loads better than the bluetooth ones.
