Customer Reviews
The Most Uncomfortable Headset Ever!!!!
This headset feals way to big to fit in your ear comfortably. It is also difficult to turn on and off because you must hold down the button for about 10-15 seconds before it will turn on or off. Also the only way you can charge your headset is to have it plugged in via USB cord to your PS3 while it is turned on. My last headset just plugged into the wall and that made much more since.

Pro's

Includes a stand to charge your headset on

Con's

Very uncomfortable

Difficult to turn on and off

Must leave PS3 on to charge headset

An Essential Part of Your PS3 Experience
This headset comes bundled with SOCOM: Confrontation, and it is everything that game is not. The headset is simple, stable, it sounds great, fits well, lasts a LONG time on batteries, works seamlessly with the PS3, and can take some punishment. (I accidentally dropped it about six feet onto a hardwood floor. Didn't miss a beat.)

When I first started using it, other players began saying things like: "What headset are you using? You sound good as h**l!" It came in handy when playing LittleBigPlanet, it works in the Home beta, and future PS3 titles will benefit tremendously from it. SOCOM or not, this is a great device.
Nice Headset
I havent used any other bluetooth headsets for my PS3 but I have heard plenty of them in use while playing online games. This headset delivers your voice in a clear and clean tone and is suprisingly comfortable to wear. Everyone always asks me what headset I am using because it sounds so good. Definitely worth a purchase if you dont have a headset already or if you are looking for an affordable upgrade to the current one you are using. You can also use this with your bluetooth capable cell phone as well.
