HI,

 

Just getting used to playing online games for first time ever, we are thinking about getting a headset.. I live in UK. Anyone know what to buy? I have been into my local game shops and I have been told sony havent made mics/headsets yet?

 

what shall I do?

It's supposed to work,  since it's Bluetooth.  But i'm sure some Bluetooth headsets work better then others..

That will work perfectly. Just make sure you have your phone off or out of range when you use the headset for the PS3. If your phone is in range it will pair with that first.

hold the talk button on the headset till the light stays on. then the ps3 will be able to read it. After it does enter 0000 as the passcode.

you have to go back to settings...accessory settings.....audio device settings. Change the input device to your headset while your headset is turned on. The output device will automatically change when you do this.

Some motorolas are good  (850)

 

I suggest any Jabra or Plantronics

 

(Plantronics explorer 320  (around $20-$30) )

and probably some Sony Ericssons
