Do you use a headset while playing on PSN?

Hey everyone, this is a two part thread. My first question is, do you use a headset to play on PSN? I purchased a headset to play Resistance 2 online, but very few people were using one, so I returned it. Why don't more people use headsets on PSN? I understand not wanting to listen to some kid screaming, singing, swearing, etc., but you can just mute the person. I love playing online with a headset and without people talking it seemed more like I was just playing with a bunch of bots with no emotion. Come on people, talk! :) So do you use one or not? And why?

The second part of my question is for those who do use a headset. I've tried a few Bluetooth headsets and was disappointed overall. I've been looking at the Official Sony Bluetooth headset and the reviews seem very positive, but I was hoping for the opinion of a user on here. Thanks!

Yes, I use a headset. My communication is limited to only that which is pertinent to gameplay. I can't stand trash talk, cursing, or anything that would detract from being immersed in the action. As for the official BT headset, I use it and it is in fact awesome.emitsu97

Yes, I do. I have one of those new Sony headsets btw. ;)_Brennan_

I don't have a headset, I'm part of the problem :P But I am getting the SOCOM/headset bundle when it releases in the UK in a few weeks.Floppy_Jim

No, I only use it when playing with friends, I usually just mute everyone. :PBigBoss712

[QUOTE="Eddie5vs1"][QUOTE="_Brennan_"] How comfortable is it to wear? I was looking at it and I'm not sure the plug that goes in your ear looks comfortable. They don't have it at my local wal-mart, only at GameStop, so if I don't like it I'm still stuck with it.

Y'know, I'm going to have that problem too. I'm still playing R 2 and Motorstorm PR online; I'll have to make time for SOCOM and then Killzone 2! In a way, I'm actually annoyed at Sony for having so many great franchises. :lol:

[QUOTE="_Brennan_"][QUOTE="Eddie5vs1"] I was thinking of doing this, but there are so many good games I'm trying to finish that I wouldn't have time for Socom, especially with how good the online component is on R2.Eddie5vs1

[QUOTE="Eddie5vs1"][QUOTE="_Brennan_"]It's very comfortable. It takes time to get used to (it did for me anyway), but once you're used to it, you can't even tell you're wearing it. ;)_Brennan_

[QUOTE="_Brennan_"][QUOTE="Eddie5vs1"] Really? I'm hearing a lot of good things about it....maybe I need to break down and pic one up, especially with KZ2 landing soon.Eddie5vs1

That's true, it might. But I think R 1 had a fairly well populated community way up until the release of the sequel. Not on COD4-levels but a decent amount.Floppy_Jim

To the comfort question, I found it uncomfortable if worn for long periods (4hrs+) until I found a "sweet" spot and now I could wear it for days and not realize it's there.emitsu97

i have one but i don't use itmozesx

I use mine when I play madden 09 with my friends and my brother, but if I use it and play strangers, its all trash talk and you suck and blah blah.

Sometimes I use it with R2 as well

Co-op game in R2 + Headsets + Friends =8)

I use my headset when playing with my danish clan on Resistance 2. oh yeah .. the official sony headset is nice. It's easy to turn the volume up and down even easier muting your own mic. danish-death

I never used one on PSN,so headset is not a big deal for me.Just buy the official sony bluetooth headset if you need one.

I've been meanin to get one for a while now, when i actually bothered to check out the prices, in gamestation at least they only had these End War themed headsets for 25 quid, i dont want to have headset-sex just to taunt back to all those annoyin tw@s who call every1 'noobs' when they getta kill :roll: on R2 i mean :P i mean for christ sake its not even original :roll:

I''ll look again over the net for a decent enough headset, could probably find a mucb beter one ata more appealin price too i expect :D.

Is there an actual name forthis headset? Or can I randomly go to an employee and say "do you guys have the official Sony Headset for PS3?" and somehow they'll understand me.

I use my cellphone's Jawbone 2... but since this is getting great "reviews" from you guys, I might go buy it.

I rarely do actually. In fact, my dog chewed up my headset recently. Good riddance.hazelnutman
