I'm thinking of getting a headset for online gameplay (particularly RFoM and COD4). I have seen the Jabra BTsomething, but that is made for a mobile phone... and apparently it's not so brilliant. Has anyone found one that was designed for gaming, and and that is good? Thanks!

The Jabra BT-125 that comes with Warhawk is cheap and works quite well,
if you really need a crystal clear sound, you are going to spend a ton of money.

There are currently no "gaming exclusive" BT headsets, but, you could use a logitech gamer USB headset if you didn't care about it being wireless.

Rumours of the Sony BT headset are surfacing that it may come out in Summer with a SOCOM Confrontation bundle. But you may not want to wait that long, so the Jabra BT-125 is good for gaming.

warhawk bundle is the way to go the jabra's not the clearest, but its clear enough that you won't have any problems, and warhawks a great game and really the bundles full of win because blue tooth headsets would cost about 2 thirds the price of the bundle anyways

I would recommend the Playstation Eye video camera, it doubles as a MIC and everyone who has it say its really good. It costs $40 which is pretty good.

Are you sure about that? I didn't buy it because I read it didn't work as a mic for online play.

I'm going to get the Logitech ClearChat Comfort USB Headset tomorrow, I'll let you know how that goes.

I can't recommend a BT headset but I can recommend the PS3 Eye. Yes, it works with online chat in-game.

There will be an OFFICIAL Sony bluetooth headset released in July/august for $49.99 or bundled with Socom:Confrontation for $59.99 but until then any USB or bluetooth piece is fine.

Please don't use the PS eye as a mic. It picks up every little thing, so when you're playing somebody all they get is background noise and echoes...

Read the specs on the mic and you'll find out that it actually filters out that noise. I've tested it in multiple games as well. It's pretty good.

Not really, it creates feedback for everyone else in the room. So if you have your TV loud, and the PSEye picks up the voices of other people from the TV - everyone else in the room hears constant feedback. It's very annoying.

I guess I've never had my TV volume maxxed out, wall rattling, windows shaking while testing. Why would you want to chat with your TV that loud anyways? I've got a pretty good surround sound setup and I haven't ever had any problems with it. If I have, nobody else has ever complained about it, and I've gamed with friends on multiple occasions. It doesn't matter though... I don't want to argue on the eye's behalf. Just get what you want. Personally I just got tired of having to wear a headset and syncing the BT every time I powered on my PS3.

What volume do you have the PSeye set on? I usually have it on 3 (when using the eye) and it picks up alot of background noise, I can hear myself echoing while playing COD4. I have the PS eye, The BT that comes w/ Warhawk and my old PS2 Logitech Headset and the best sounding one is the wired Logitech headset. And you don't have to keep syncing your BT headset...

The volume for my PS3eye was maxxed out. It might have just been the headset I was using (motorola h300). I had to resync it every time I power cycled the PS3. I guess if you're constantly chatting in-game on a daily basis then a headset is probably better. PS3eye suits me pretty good for now. The only games I really chat in are Warhawk, and FIFA.

You don't use your PS eye volume, leave it on default otherwise it will create echo noises. All you have to do is speak properly into the Eye camera. I'm sitting 6 feet away from it and talk normally. The camera picks it up without any issues as I have tested it numerous times.

It eliminates background noise and you are left with clear voice.

The others already recommended good Warhawk Jabra headset as well. There is nothing wrong with PS3 Eye camera, it's an excellent 4-way directional mic.

I have it on default and it still picks up noise. I noticed that it sounds horrible only when I play COD4, It picks up the voices from the game, creating an echo.
