GameZone writes: "I have to admit that I've been greatly disappointed with the quality, comfort and oftentimes the compatibility of headsets for the PlayStation 3. Sure, the Jabra Bluetooth Headset that was packaged with Warhawk wasn't entirely bad and the Metal Gear Bluetooth by PDP had clear wideband voice quality, but they just didn't do it for me in other departments. I'm that meticulous hardware fellow that wants it all and I felt that there just isn't a headset that would satisfy my personal quest for one that would suit me.
Then again, along comes the Official Bluetooth Headset that accompanied the retail version of the multiplayer-only SOCOM: Confrontation and my quest was finally over."

Platform Nation: : From the author's usage of the headset so far, Heiznerater (the review author) believes that it is a very high quality headset. This is both in physical construction and the sound. The actual headset is pretty solid and seems like it should last for as long as the battery life will. The quality of the speaker was awesome. People’s voices were crystal clear and this is due to the High Quality mode. This mode enables “better radio-frequency interference rejection”. In layman’s terms, it sounds great! The mic is very responsive as well. It was picking up everything I said without any hitches or hiccups. The only issue the author has with the quality of this headset is with the ear clip. For some very odd reason, the ear clip seems really cheap and flimsy. It just doesn’t seem to be the same caliber of the rest of the headset. It’s a minor complaint, but still should be addressed in the future
Nice.
I'm glad there is no discomfort, my PS3 headset I have now puts my ear in a raging pain after maybe an hour.
That and my kid chewed off the rubber piece that's supposed to fit in the ear. >.>
Plan on getting this asap
lol the dude's controller isnt even on :D love u sony u pay the mentally disabled to watch pre-screened gameplay and pretend they're playing the actual games.
2.0 eh? I might pick this up, these are quality headsets.
Lol, nice ad. But how are they chatting when playing COD Single Player? Cross Chat? :O
SPOILER! Crosschat in the next firmware update! I saw it implied in an ad so it must be true!
:)
I could care less about cross game chat. I want a universal party system. That's more important than cross game chat.
I completely agree. x-game chat is far less important then just being able to stick with your friends.
@sasan(above): I was joking buddy, calm down.
well id rather have a full catalogue of ps2 games on the psn store rather than ps1 games seriously wtf
Can't we have all of this?
Cross Chat is very useful for anyone who sends messages in-game.
Sending Messages:
-is more time consuming
-breaks gameplay experience more
-is slower
Cross Chat:
-is faster
-doesn't break gameplay as much
-you can chat more and faster
It's a great feature, and it's clear why it's the most asked by the PlayStation community.
no...just chatting using stock footage of COD:BO because they couldn't get MP footage =P
don't worry alpha, its ok to dream!!! =´D!! (it will come one day)
i love the original version. i'm not a hardcore online player, but it's a quality headset.....i'm sure this one is as well.
Yea I just bought it last month, and I am very satisfied with it. Shame this one was announced only days after I bought it :/ Otherwise I would have waited to get this one.
I was about to buy it, might wait for this one if its not much more expensive =O how is it? I heard it has problems being blue-tooth and all.
would love to hear ur verdict. its seriously one of my xmas list purchases =P
Cool. I'll pick this one up when my original PS3 headset stops working. This one looks a lot sleeker. I just hope it doesn't start to hurt your ear an hour later. That's the only complaint I have with the "1.0" headset.
Any earphone that sets inside the ear makes my ear hurt after awhile, looks like this one will do the same. Good quality mics though, except for the lack of noise cancellation, which it says the new one has.
Warhawk's Jabra FTW!
SWEET im so getting this! theres no socom bundle in NZ so ill have to get it sepretly :(
i guess I'll buy Socom. I mean the headset by itself is $49.99 and Socom bundle is $59.99. Thats like getting Socom for $10!
This is absolutely the best headset you can get for your PS3, and your cell phone. It fits snugly for big ears and the HQ mode is VOIP-quality. My only regret is that for cell phones, most of the headset's functions is mapped onto the Power-Button and not the Mic/Mute button. I have big hands so you can imagine how much of a hassle it is not being able to simply press the big round-button to make and accept calls.
Also the desktop mic only works when the cradle is hooked up to the PS3. You can't use the desktop mic feature for your PC in case you wanted to do a podcast or something. Sucks, but tem's the breaks. Unless someone can program some drivers for the Headset.
where can i get this headset?
without purchasing a socom..
