Best headset for PS3

Getting a PS3 for Xmas and I was wondering which type of headset to get? Is the PS3 brand the best, or can I save some $$$ and get a Jabra or motorola?

i bought a no name brand bluetooth headset off ebay for $1+$4 shipping. It has worked for 6 months and gets used almost every day.

also, i bought 2 more and both of those work as well. everyone else payin $50 are suckers.

i bought an up market headset a few hours ago, duno if thats your thing but its an improvement on my tv sound and it is a good chat headset.
but i would go with the cheaper chat only headsets if your not too serious about your gaming

Any blue tooth will work bro, just pick anyone you can afford. I bought the cheapest brand name (Jabra BT2070) from Best Buy on sale for bout $19.99. Works like a charm, clear voice and sound.

I have the older version, and it's amazing.

I use it for my phone as well, and it worked better than all the heasets that I used before.

And this newer version is even better.

If you're serious about quality game sound and chat, go with a Turtle Beach PX21 headset... very happy with mine. $80, though...

:shock:

... so, hence the "serious" commentary...

:lol:

But they're seriously comfortable, and sound fantastic, allowing for custom blending of chat & game sound.

Best sound quality are the official PS3 headsets but they are pretty expensive, I'm just telling you because you're asking for the best. But any cheap $20 bluetooth will work fine.

If you want to go cheap, almost any Bluetooth headset will work, including the ones that come with cellphones. I bought a Rocketfish one for $20 and it's pretty much the same as the official Playstation one, it just costs a lot less.

Hmmm. I've got a 'blueparrott b-250xt' that I use on my phone. Works great in my truck. But, when I hooked it to my PS3, all was fine - at first. My headset shut down - period. Now panic set in because it's more important that the headset work on my phone than on my PS3. Luckily, I got it all straightened out and it still works fine with my phone. But now I'm a bit gun shy about trying this again. I really do want a headset that I can use when I come home at 2-3 am and feel the "need for speed" (in the form of GT5) and don't want to wake up wifey with the scream of high RPM's... Doesn't matter if I can talk with it - for now anyway. Is there an 'affordable' stereo bluetooth headset out there?Duke_Slade007

Thanks KurupSoldr. I've been checking out the reviews on Amazon since you mentioned it. I started out with the one star reviews and worked my way up. Almost everyone mentions a hissing sound, and I wonder if it's a feedback issue of some sort. This sounds like what would happen when I connected a fancy reverb unit to my stereo back in the 70's - ha. Then, most mention a 'flimsy' issue. I really would like to see these in person to judge for myself. But, those who LOVE them, REALLY love them. This will require more contemplation. Why can't stuff like this be a simple go - no go when it comes to making a purchase decision??? Ha. Again KurupSoldr, thanks for your suggestion. I'm leaning toward DOING IT. Duke_Slade007

Invest some money into new PS3 Bluetooth Headset.

The quality and sound/voice clarity are outstanding.
