Official PS3 Bluetooth Headset 2.0 Review

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

Looking good, the ear clip issue I totally agree on.

Jaces5291d ago

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

Rumor5290d ago

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.

Kon_Artist 5290d ago

i got the new one,the ear clip feels low quality

-Alpha5291d ago (Edited 5291d ago )

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

RememberThe3575291d ago

SPOILER! Crosschat in the next firmware update! I saw it implied in an ad so it must be true!

:)

quit spreading rumors. take his bubbles, tired of this garbage

Microsoft_Spokesman5291d ago

@disagrees for sasanova comment, he was being sarcastic you turkeys!

Rage_S905291d ago

alpha male is the king of n4g no 1 takes his bubbles

blumatt5291d ago

I could care less about cross game chat. I want a universal party system. That's more important than cross game chat.

metsgaming5291d ago

i rather have auto sync for trophies more than xgame chat.

RememberThe3575291d ago (Edited 5291d ago )

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.

outwar60105291d ago

well id rather have a full catalogue of ps2 games on the psn store rather than ps1 games seriously wtf

-Alpha5291d ago (Edited 5291d ago )

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.

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.

BiggCMan5291d ago

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.

visualb5291d ago

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

Microsoft_Spokesman5291d ago

@Biggcman, I'm sure you can easily return it...

electricshadow5291d ago

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.

NegativeCreepWA5291d ago (Edited 5291d ago )

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.

KwietStorm_BLM5291d ago

You can do the same thing with the first model.

Vibras 5.1 Xbox 360 Headset Review - The Only 360 Certified Headset

TQcast writes:When I heard that the Vibras 5.1 Xbox 360 headset was the only headset certified and licensed for the Xbox 360, With plenty of gaming headsets in the market, I was surprised that the Vibras 5.1; considering its specs, wasn’t all over the internet. So, how well do the Vibras 5.1 perform?
