Here is what people are saying about the Sony Playstation3 Bluetooth Headset
5 Star Rating  "Best Headset that I have purchased!!"2009-11-08
- Reviewed By User: A1WGHVPWGGQZJP
I have bought a lot of headsets for the PS3 with I just could not get use to. So I went a head and bought this wireless headset. I thought it was going to be like the rest but once I got it and synced it to my ps3 I was like wow. This product is great and it fits nicely around my ear. I was worried about the battery life and well this one holds out on battery life. I have only had it on for a max 2 hours and it never ran out, unlike others. If you are looking to buying someone a wireless headset or going to buy yourself a wireless headset for your ps3. I would differently recommend this product to anyone.
 
3 Star Rating  "Great headset"2009-11-03
- Reviewed By User: A3AS36AG6SCXFA
I've been using the headset for the last two days, and so far I like it. It's a good product, but it does have some flaws that keep it from being perfect.

I liked:

* The audio quality. It's excellent; I've been using this when playing Uncharted 2 multiplayer, and I have no problem hearing my teammates.
* Easy to synch. Simply plug in with the USB to the PS3. That's it. No menus, no holding buttons, no waiting for flashing lights.
* Mute button. It's the biggest button on the headset, so you can't miss it. Push it once, and the headset is muted. Great for those times when you need to answer a call, or yell at a family member, or do something that the rest of the world does not need to hear.
* Easy to charge. Connect any USB cable to it and begin charging. You can also use the stand to charge it, but I couldn't. Details are further down.
* Simple on-screen display. Once paired, the PS3 will show you batter life, just like with the wireless controllers, and if the mic is muted or not with a simple press of a button.

I did not like:

* Constant beeping when the headset is muted. When playing, if you mute the headset, you will hear a beep every 30 seconds or so, I guess to remind you that it's muted. It's a little annoying.
* That after a while, about 40 minutes or so using it, the headset becomes uncomfortable. You can switch the clip and put it in your other ear, which is why this isn't a major flaw, but for some people it might just be.
* The little rubber cover for the USB connection on the headset is a bit difficult to move. This is just a personal gripe, but it's something that I just didn't like.
* The charging stand. I don't know if I'm missing something simple or what, but I cannot connect the headset to the stand at all. Inside the stand is a little connector that goes inside the headset so it can charge, but again, I don't know if mine is defective or what, but it will not connect. I tried pushing it, sliding it around, but nothing. The headset will not go in. I have no plans on using this as a desktop microphone, and I can simply connect a USB cable directly to the headset to charge, so really the stand would have been useless for me anyway, but still.

So there it is. $40 or so for a headset is not bad. Sure, you can buy cheaper bluetooth headsets anywhere, but if you need it to play online, than this is the best option for it.
 
5 Star Rating  "Don't by the headset by itself!!!"2009-11-01
- Reviewed By buzski
This is a very good headset, I've had it for over a year with no quarrels, but there is a big thing to point out. You can get this headset with Socom Confrontation, for almost the same price!!!! If you look around there is a chance you could find Socom Confrontation and the Headset, for cheaper than the headset itself!! If you've never played Socom Confrontation, I recommend it, it's one of the most popular online games on the PSN. You're basically getting a free game with you're headset, or free headset with the game, how ever you'd like to think of it.

I bought this thinking it would be the easiest to set up. I guess I was right as it installed easily. My complaint is the range. If I leave the room that the ps3 is in more than a few feet, it disconnects. It's not the most comfortable on you head and it could have been better designed, but it works. Oh, and no big deal, but all the observations above figuring in the price. I think the price reflects more that it is Sony's PS3 headset than a quality product.
 
5 Star Rating  "Best Headset Ever"2009-10-11
- Reviewed By User: A2FJUF4Q6MMWPX
This headset is the most reliable that I have used. I have gone through many cheaper headsets because I didn't want to pay for this one. But after breading and going through multiple cheaper headsets the total was well over what this one cost. I bought this official ps3 bluetooth headset and have no problems. It is extremely clear sounding and very comfortable to wear for long amounts of time. The huge mute button is extremely nice for when some enters the room and you need to talk to them but it is not important to the game.
Overall this is a must have for gaming. By the time you buy multiple third party headsets and they break, you would have spent the same but would have one that worked the whole time.

I acquired this headset when SOCOM: Confrontation was first released and thought I was getting a deal by getting the game AND the headset for about $60. I couldn't have been more wrong.

As headsets go, I have worn a LOT of them. I've owned old-fashioned wired headsets, pre-bluetooth wireless that communicated with a little receiver you clipped to your belt and plugged into your phone, and of course... plenty of bluetooth sets.

Let me start by saying that you do NOT need this headset for a PlayStation3. In theory, ANY bluetooth headset will work with a PS3. (Granted some won't because bluetooth is inherently buggy technology.) Likewise, this headset will work with almost any bluetooth phone. However, my personal preference is to have separate headsets because I don't like pairing and unpairing all the time.

Having said that, let's talk about this headset. It is about as basic as basic gets. If all you need is basic, more power to you, but you'll find similar quality for less money with other sets. Try the Jabra BT4010, which as of this writing sells for half the price of the Sony. Heck, you can even find $10 bluetooth headsets if you really want to go cheap!

Apart from poor value, the Sony set is an awkward fit. It has only a thin rubber ring around a little plastic "barrel" that is supposed to stay fastened in your ear. Most other sets either have a "form-fitted" rubber piece or simply stay out of your ear altogether. This design gets uncomfortable quickly because A) the part that goes in your ear may not be the right size for your ear and B) the over-the-ear loop is made of cheap plastic as opposed to being rubber or having a rubber coating like many other sets.

The battery life is decent, but nothing to write home about. And the charging stand? It's cheap, very lightweight plastic that falls over very easily. If the USB cable is a little bit stiff, the natural tendency for it to curl may very well topple the stand.

As for sound quality... yeah, basic again. Sure, it works, but once again it is very basic. I felt like it didn't have a very good range of volume. Many times I had it cranked to the max and still could barely hear.

Since games are usually $60 and this headset came bundled inside a $60 game, I tried hard to find a reason to keep it, after all wasn't it "free"? In the end, I could find no redeeming qualities and returned it rather than allowing it to take up space in a drawer somewhere.

If you'd like some good places to start your search for another headset, here are a few:

Personally, I just can't get over the Jabra FreeSpeak BT250V. It's so comfortable I don't even notice it's there and it also has a vibrating/call notification feature, which is absolutely great for leaving your phone on the charger and keeping the headset with you at home or office. As of this writing, the Sony is ~$45 and the Jabra is ~$60. You may find the Jabra cheaper but even at $60 it's DEFINITELY a better value than the Sony!

If you're looking for a really great sounding bluetooth set (i.e. for listening to music), I've been really happy with the Motorola HT820. It has two speakers and wraps around the back of your head/neck. Fair warning, though- the Motorola sounds awesome but the speakers are huge and wearing this set makes you look like a total dork.

There are hundreds, maybe even thousands of bluetooth headsets out there so no matter which one you finally choose, please just don't make it this Sony piece of junk. Your dollars will go farther on something with the same quality/lower price, or same price/higher quality.
