Best PS3 headset currently


Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.

I will be honest I am not actually sure wth is in the box tbh. I just noticed it on a stand. When did socom come out? 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?

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.

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.

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.

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 :)
