1337ish Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Hi Just looking at buying a PS3 headset but struggling to find proper reviews of ones yet. I know you can use any bluetooth headset but I wondered if anyone knew of any good ones or links to any reviews? I am tempted by either the Gioteck EX-01 or EX-02 but I am not sure if one is better then the other etc. Also any uk links to retailers etc would be good if possible for sources for recommendations. Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted November 13, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted November 13, 2009 Official headset so you can use the high quality mode in games that support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WastedJoker Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 The official headset is the bees knees. It comes with a couple of different ear attachments for comfort too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337ish Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 Know any retailers like HMV etc that may have it? I really hate waiting for crap to arrive by post (esp if they keep striking!) I was in one HMV but it only had a SOCOM box with a headset for ?20 and the other 2 I listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted November 14, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted November 14, 2009 Socom box for ?20? Damn pick that up, that game is actually quite good now, and for ?20 it's practically free as I would easily pay ?15-20 alone for the PS3 headset. Heck the madcatz headsets are like ?25-30 alone in HMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyCypherz Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Another vote for the original headset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont actually know anyone with it it so I had no idea what it was like. I assume the PS3 official headset would work with mobiles if you ever needed it too?

El Marto Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 yeh the official one owns. got it pretty cheap off amazon in the summer. works with iphones too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbandonedTrolley Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Yep, get the official one, although it really dos all depend on your ear size, I sometimes find it uncomfortable after a while :( But as Audio said, if you can get the SOCOM box set with earpiece then it's certainly worth ?20! Official one normally goes for about ?17.99 on play.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 someone should adapt a real throat mic example to usb or bluetooth, i would buy one as imo mobile phone style headsets blow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbandonedTrolley Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 These also work apparently although not tried,they have a build in mic. I got a pair with my Sony BT Walkman :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The headset with all the same extras as the standalone box, and you also get a copy of Socom. The online community for Socom is still large, aside from MW2 now, it's probably one of the most played PS3 games still - Mainly cause there's no other tactical shooter. Yeah I paired my PS3 headset with my old Ericsson, not tried it with my iPhone yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrArifPatel Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 someone should adapt a real throat mic example to usb or bluetooth, i would buy one as imo mobile phone style headsets blow If there is a green and pink adapter, there are really easy ways to get them to work on the PS3, i use PC gaming headsets on my PS3, all you need to do is buy a couple of cables, probably only set you back around a tenner, and you get game audio on the headset, plus the mic.

1337ish Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 Thanks for all your advice guys. I am going to take another look at the SOCOM box and get that if its as good a value as you guys say it is otherwise I suspect an official one will be the alternative. Now all I suppose I have to say is if you want a game at all add "ZeroHour" to your list :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrArifPatel Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 yeah i got an official sony headset too, they are good to have since they can get firmware upgrades, and i can't imagine someone making a better bt headset for the PS3 then Sony themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soniqstylz Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 If you don't use the official one, might as well use this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
