Before I go out and spend another $50-$75 on a headset, I wanted to be sure it worked. For those that have successfully registered a bluetooth headset on his/her PS3, could you please post the make and model # in this thread. Could you also post some brief impressions of the quality or lack thereof. Thanks a lot!

Motorola H3

Just remember to turn it off, then activate the PS3 bluetooth search, then hold the button on the headset for about 5-8 seconds (the light will go solid), the PS3 will then recognize it right away.

very cool. will the ps3 take the usb headset I have for ps2? I would think it would.

It should, but then you'd be wired.

Unless, I wonder if you could connect a USB headset to the USB port in the controller? Or is that only for charging?

That would be awesome, a lot like the 360 controller.

Alas, I really doubt it's technically possible. They would have had to planned for voice to go through this USB port and have the internal battery on the controller supply power to the headset. If this was the case it would have been talked about by now.

Anway, great thread! I'm planning on getting a Bluetooth headset for PS3 at some point and this will be a good reference. I'll even take a USB wireless headset if someone makes one someday.

Bluespoon AX2 works perfectly. Nice to havea wireless headest, wireless controller.

yeah my wife just got a blue tooth headset as a package deal with her phone so I'm sure that will probably work as should just about any bluetooth device. She isn't using it so I'm sure she won't mind especially if it means I don't have to spend any more money on the system.

I was able to register my Jabra BT250v. You also have to make sure you go into the "Adjust Audio Settings" screen and set the newly registered headset as the input and output device. If you dont see the Blutooth Headset in the lists of devices, then you didnt successfully register the device. Try to reregister and go through the steps again. Once you set the BT headset as the Input and Output device, the little status bar on top of the Audio Settings screen will register your voice so you can verify the PS3 actually hears you.

With all this said, I still havent been able to use it in game. Ive tried it on Socom: Combined Assault and Socom doesnt see it. I havent tried using the mic in any of my PS3 games yet. Just havent had time.

Does anyone know what PS3 games actually use a mic?

Thanks for the info. I just ordered the Plantronics Voyager 510 from Amazon. I like Plantronics' products and it's gotten a lot of great feedback on Amazon. I'm looking forward to getting it set up.

You should try inviting a friend to voice chat, Merlin. Also, does Resistance not support voice chat?

I dont think it does. If it does, my Blutooth isnt working. Im to busy playing Need For Speed to mess with the mic :D

It does...I'm using voice chat in it with a Bluespoon AX2.

PS3 can find my Motorola HS820 w/o problem

Moto h500 works fine.

Motorola HS850 & HS820 work fine. :)

the ps3 accepted my headset but i have yet to get it to work in Resistance. Can you only chat with people already on your friend's list?

On a slightly other note, whenever i finish playing an online game of resistance and exit out to the dashboard it always says that i haven't played with anyone. how am i supposed to make friend requests to new people if it doesn't keep track of the folk i have played with?

Remember to go into the settings in BOTH the XMB AND Resistance and set your input/output devices to be your headset. That's probably the problem.

Hey Yoda1, can you let us know how the Plantronics set works? It's got the best reviews at Newegg and Amazon for the price range, I just want to be sure it works well with PS3.

Picked up the Motorola H350 headset this weekend at Radio Shack for $9.95 after rebate... The PS3 found it right away but it took three attempts for the headset to sync up... I finally had to set it next to the machine. I tested it in one match of Resistance and was able to talk to two other teammates. I was missing the chat before so it made me feel better about the overall purchase.

All Motorola Headsets..

I'll check my Jabra BT350 tonight and post up if it works w/ Socom Combined Assault and/or Resistance.

Moto HS805 free w/ some cell phone registered fine. Haven't actually used it yet.

Motorola H700 works fine.

No, you can chat with anyone. As mentioned you prob have to set the headset up in the XMB to accept that as your mic.

Yeah same thing happens to me with Resistance! It's annoying. I don't understand it. It looks like at least Resistance and PSN aren't hooked together yet.

Either that or you have to "party" with people for it to consider that you've played with them.

Which of these headsets have good range? Most of the time I'll be about 10 feet away from the ps3 but at times I'll be more than 20 feet.

Anyone experience any audio lag or drops? if so what kind of headset is it?

I'll check my Jabra BT350 tonight and post up if it works w/ Socom Combined Assault and/or Resistance.

Well I paired it up last night but it didn't work with Socom and it appears that I'd have to pair it up every time. There is a scale in the accessories area of the XMB that will show the volume spoken through the headset. When I turn off the PS3, then back on and go back to the scale it's shows no volume so it's appears that the pairing fails :rolleyes: .

I have the same headset attached/linked, but like you my friend, it does not seem to pick up during a session of Resistance. I get the "hollow" sound as if it were attempting to connect but will not.... Links to my phone(s) perfectly.... I'll try my Nokia BH-900 as soon as I find it.

I'm having issues with my H700. It does recognize it and when I go to accessory settings it let me select the H700 as input and output and then it greyed out and hasn't worked since. Any suggestions?

i have the motorola hs820 and it works with my ps3

Do you have to pair the headset with the PS3 every time you turn on your PS3 or just do it once and your set? And, do any of these bluetooth headsets have a mute button that's easy to access?

Thanks

Has anyone been able to get a Logitech BT headset hooked up? I can't get mine recognized.

Motorola HS 850

I have the same headset. I am guessing you might have it working by now, but it seems the H700 has to be synced everytime you shut down the PS3.

Can someone please answer my question above and also, of all the headsets available, what do you think is the best - especially for gaming with the PS3?

Thanks

jpz, I have to synced mine everytime and I think it may have more to do with shutting down the system or signing off, but I haven't done trial and error yet.

I'm debating whether to just go out and buy a BT headset, or should I wait until Sony eventually releases one for the PS3?

I would buy one. Especially if you have or are going to get other BT devices like a cell phone. I bought the Motorola H700. It got a cnet rating of 8.0. I paid a ridiculous 99.99 at BB and now they are charging 124.99. Places on the net like etronics are selling it for half including shipping. It works very well JPZ. You won't go wrong. I am ordering one from etronics and returning mine to BB.

http://reviews.cnet.com/Motorola_H700/4505-12523_7-31629880.html

I have 2 Cardo Scala BT headsets (the 500 and the 700) and they work great. The nice feature about the 700 is that it can be paired to two different devices at the same time. Whereas the 500 had to be paired everytime between my Treo and the PS3. Not to mention they can be bought from Ecost.com for dirt cheap! I just picked the 700 up $49.00, and then $10.00 off for using Google Checkout, $38.55 total including shipping...not bad!

Also the H700 has noise cancellation, so when playing games you don't have to mute or turn the volume down to where you don't want it to be, i.e. too low.

OK, these are the specs that I need in my BT headset:

1. easy to access Mute button on the headset

2. Compatible with the PS3

3. Range of at least 20 feet

4. Good audio quality

5. Noise-cancellation

6. got good reviews/ratings

7. Volume control

8. Comes with charger

9. Easy to sync with PS3

10. Comfortable

And, would be nice, but not necessary - can be used with PC

Please tell me if you know of any BT headsets that meet these specifications.

Thank You! :)

BTW - if it did work with a PC, then can I use my bluetooth receiver to sync it with my PC?

I would like to order my new headset tonight, so if someone could reply quickly I would appreciate it.

Motorola H700
1. Yes: there are two volume buttons, press both to mute with thumb and index finger
2. Yes
3. Yes: Range of 30 ft.
4. Yes: excellent audio quality
5. Yes
6. Yes: one of the best in terms of reviews
7. Yes: two buttons or volume control one top one botton you decide which to set
8. Yes
9. Yes: Only issue is if you shut the PS3 off you have to resync each time but is easy between 30 second to a minute tops to do
10. Yes: very comfortable, you won't notice it is there, goes against ear not inside.

Blue tooth is blue tooth from what I understand, so it should work with any device like your pc.

Just ordered mine from etronics last night, 54.99 with shipping. half what I paid at BB so it goes back to BB.

Thank you :) - I'll order my right now

EDIT: One last question - I read that there is a version A and version B of this headset. Is that true, and if so, how do I know which version I'm ordering?

^^...there you got me..Just looked and it seems any H700 is B version but I could be wrong. The one I currently have from BB is B. One from etronics looks identical and am guessing it is B.

Good luck

I just got a Bluespoon AX2 from Amazon for $28 and free two day shipping. It works great and it is really small and comfortable

Paltronics Explorer 320 worked great for me.

OK - I really want to get a Bluetooth headset for my PS3, but I have a few questions.

Are there any health risks of using a Bluetooth headset? I mean, it's right next to your head and it's transmitting radiation waves. I'm afraid it could cause brain damage or something. Any thoughts?

And if Bluetooth is in fact dangerous in any way, I would assume that wired is the way to go - right? So, in regard to a USB headset for the PS3, I would need one that has around a 12ft cord. Does anyone know of a good USB headset that would work on the PS3 and has a long cord?

Thanks

That's amazingly cheap for a bluetooth headset. I probably would have bought that one instead of the $37 H700 that I bought. I don't need anything extra fancy because there really isn't that much use of a BT headset with the ps3 at the moment but I guess I can use it sometimes for my cell.

I think ps2 usb headsets are ok but wouldn't it suck to have everything wireless and have a 12' long cable all over the place?

I agree with you, but my mom is freaking out over the fact that it's bluetooth and it could cause damage. So I have to buy a USB headset. What's the best one available?

My bad, I meant to type ps2 usb not ps3. I don't know of any official ps3 headsets and I don't know which is best for the ps2. If you can find one for a good price buy it. I dont know which brands but I had a few headsets for ps2 and they were all the same to me.

One key factor that everyone is forgetting about particularly when talking about the cheaper blue tooth headsets is noise cancellation. If you and others don't have it, then games you play are going to pick up a lot of the game noise. You have to then have your sound system turned down lower than normal, because the mic keeps activating. If you turn down the mic outgoing sensitivity then people can barely hear you. I have a fairly decent Home Theatre sound system and even with the blue tooth with noise cancellation, I have to turn it down about 25% of what I would normally have. Some people's mics are constantly engaging while I have played Resistance and you can tell it is the noise of guns and explosions. You then hear it on your headset. If you can get a blue tooth for $25-$35 dollars, then I suggest for $10 more get a noise cancelling blue tooth. It will make the experience better for you and all of us. :D

ok, i dont know anything about bluetooth but i need a headset for ps3.

i used to have a 360 and the headset that came with it worked good, but it was wired.

im looking at all the headsets recommended here and they appear to be for just one ear. is there such a thing as a bluetooth headset for both ears? it seems to me it would be better.

anything like that exist? or should i just be looking at the single ear thingies :confused:

There is a blue tooth stereo headset. I don't know if it would do both the game sound and be able to communicate with others. I know it can do both, but I am wondering if it would work for Resistance. I am going to look into this more myself. Has me thinking.

i was told only bluetooth sets v 2.0 would work by sony.

I was reading on ps3 forums that the motorola h500 was very popular for ps3.

then in todays paper i seen that office depot had it on sale for 39.99, $20 off.

i went and looked at it. i asked about it and was told it didnt have noise cancellation so i didnt get it. because i remember reading here that i should get one with that.

so i still dont know what to get. isnt sony going to release one for the ps3 or what? i could sure use one right now :(

This is the set i'm getting for my LG VX8600 phone. Well worth the $75 - $120 price tag if it works with the PS3.

yes bluetooth is dangerous - you will suffer brain damage as a result. try not to use one for more than 3 seconds at a time.

motorola makes money by defending class action lawsuits now. :rolleyes:

Incorrect.


Add Samsung's WEP 200 as a go on the PS3. I alternate between that and the Bluespoon AX2...whichever is closer.

Jabra BT 160 works as well

using that strictly with PS3 now...AX2 will be purely for my phone

I alternate between a Cardo Scala 700 and a Jabra BT 125 that I use solely with the PS3. When one dies, I use the other while it recharges. The games must go on.

I just ordered a used h700 from ebay. Will I have any issues connecting a used headset w/ the ps3? Also can i use it for both my phone and the ps3?

Bought a Jabra BT125 and it works well. No repairing necessary. :D

I just got the Jabra BT350 at compusa and I've just tried it on the PS3. It seems to work fine and is a decent headset considering its being sold for free after a $40 mail-in-rebate. I don't know if it requires repairing though.

I just got my moto h700 and need help asap! It registered fine, even input moto h700 as input and output on the device setting. But its still not working, it cant test microphone volume, and then while playing resistance i cant talk or anyone can hear me in the lobbies. I even set the input and output audio settings in the options menu in the game. I know its not the bluetooth set becuase it works fine on my phone.

I had bought one at BB. "B" version. It was expensive as far as headsets go at 99.00. I then seen one online for 40.00 at etronics. It was an "A" version. The one from BB worked fine, but the "A" version from etronics didn't work at all.
I returned the "A" version. ;) The "B" version still has to be resynced everytime you shut off the PS3.

The Jabra JX10 works. It is $150 from Best Buy but you can get them new off of Ebay for $50. Can't beat that value.

BB product info (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7521498&st=jabra+x10&type=product&id=1127211257221)

Doh!!!!! I got an "A" version.

I have the Motorola HS850. It works ok, but I don't like how the mic boom touches my cheek. I don't have fat cheeks or anything either.... maybe I have skinny ears?

Anyway the biggest issue with it is that you have to "pair" it every time. The PS3 remembers it, but it won't activate it until you "pair" it.

Bought a Jabra BT125 and it works well. No repairing necessary. :D


Music to my ears! I am glad to know this. I just bought one at Best Buy for $25.00. This is the cheapest set they had w/ BT 2.0 support w/ 8 hours of talk time. I already have the BT800, too nice for game use, and got sick of re-pairing back to the phone every time. So I decided to buy a dedicated PS3 one... It's charging up now. I can't wait to give this a try.

I can't believe how cheap this thing is, when you see so many other (wired) head sets at equal prices...

The charge port seems like a proprietary port... Anyone know if they sell a USB cord so that I can just charge from my USB hub?

Thanks.

Got my Plantronics Voyager 510 in the mail yesterday. Looking forward to using it during Motorstorm.

So is there actually a good bluetooth headset out there that works well with both the ps3 and a cell phone?

I had a plantronics 340 and it sucked for my phone. I actually broke it into pieces today because it wouldn't work more than 2 ft from my phone. Thing was a total joke.

I had a logictech headset that worked well for both but the battery was awful on it and only lasted about 20 mins so I trashed that piece too.

BT125 is incredible. Small, light, and crystal clear. Works great. And for $25 bucks, it's the best out there. I got it at my local Best Buy. I think BestBuy.com also has them for same price. The only draw back I see so far is with the lack of USB charger cable. It seems to have a proprietary plug.

If anyone know where I can get a USB plug, please let me know.

Thanks.

I have the Jabra BT350 and it's okay. I don't like that I have to resync each time I shut the console off. I like that it is wireless, but I wish it was BT 2.0, so it stayed connected even when it was off(at least that's what I have heard). I have a weird experience each time I play Resistance. After a while what I say isn't sent through and then I can't hear anyone. After a while I found that I have to hit the button on the mic twice and then I'm back in action. I wonder if it goes into standby?
Does this happen to anyone else?

i just got the bt135 for free from verizon wireless. seems like an amazing deal. it's super lightweight, bt 2.0 support, 8 hrs talk time, 170 hrs standby time, and oh yeah, free. i haven't opened it yet so we'll see how well it works out.

on the other point, i'm pretty sure jabra's headsets use a usb charge port. i'll know more when i play with it. if it is proprietary, i do know that jabra makes a usb cable for it...

I am assuming you meant BT125....

I would also assume that this proprietary port is USB. Are you certain Jabra makes a USB cord to fit the charge port? I've owned several Jabra BT head sets (BT250, and BT800 now...) BT250, doesn't have a charge port, but it has charge cradle where you slide the unit in. The newer models such as BT800, BT500, and others have a USB port (also proprietary) which they supply the USB cable. However, this BT125 port is nothing like I've seen on any Jabra products.... It looks similar to a mini-usb port (similar to PSP, Sixaxis controller), but much smaller. I've searched online, but no mention of it...

no, i meant just what i said, the bt135...

http://www.jabra.com/JabraCMS/EM/EN/MainMenu/Products/WirelessHeadsets/JabraBT135

i can also confirm that it is indeed a usb port and it's not proprietary. it happens to be the exact same connector found on nikon cameras. i plugged in my usb cable for my nikon into the bt135 and it works like a charm.

this headset is GREAT. it is easily better than my old motorola bt headset which i paid $130 for...

today is a good day :)

Is this the one?

http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-Replacement-Coolpix-Digital-Cameras/dp/B0000A1VS3

Is it normal to hear a lot of noise on your headset? I haven't used it in game yet, but when I went to the audio level test section there seemed to be a lot of noise when the headset turned on.

Is this the one?

yep, that's the one. works like a charm

Is it normal to hear a lot of noise on your headset? I haven't used it in game yet, but when I went to the audio level test section there seemed to be a lot of noise when the headset turned on.


no noise on mine. and the best part is that the damn thing stays sync'd with the ps3 all the time. seriously folks, if you're in the market for a bt headset for the ps3 or for your cellphone, get the jabra bt135. i think it retails for $40 and i'm ready to declare it perfect (after a full day of using it for cell and a full night of using it for resistance). super lightweight, bt 2.0, 8 hrs talk time, 170+ hours standby, usb charger compatible, the works.

Hmm. Do you have it set so that you hear other people's speech through the TV or the headset? This headset is supposed to be one of Plantronic's higher-end models, so I hope there's something I am doing wrong.

i have the speech coming through the headset

Is it normal to hear a lot of noise on your headset? I haven't used it in game yet, but when I went to the audio level test section there seemed to be a lot of noise when the headset turned on.

The same thing happens to me. I hear what I would describe as white noise when I am at the audio level test. Although you may hear a couple very brief noises like that while you are getting on-line and into a game, it stops when you are playing - at least for me.

The bigger problem is noise picked up from either not having noise cancellation, people having their sound system too loud or having their mic sensitivity too high. I don't really know what it is, but sometimes you pick up a lot of background noise from other people.

AND, if you need to have a fight with your sister, please turn your mic off. In the last week, I had two separate occassions where I listened to fights between a boy and his sister. (If you have a BT mic and join a squad, you don't have to press the button to talk. It is always on). :eek:

I have a Motorola H350 and have not needed to re-link (re-sync) it since the first time. The HS850 I have had to be re-linked each time.

wow that's pretty good. i could use a spare...

I am sorry to confuse you to potentially gross you out. I don't buy used bluetooth. I only buy used dental floss :D

Seriously, we're talking about a compatible USB tipped charger cable for Jabra BT125 and BT135. Amazon has them for $16, and I found one on eBay for 99cents.

Now you have to clean someone's ear wax and spit off of it!

no, no he's talking about the usb charging cable for the headset...

I just paired my headset with my cellphone, and there was zero static when I made a call. I guess there's just static in the volume level setting area for some reason.

Motorola H3.

Very functional.

Volume doesn't go very high, but I can usually still make out what people are saying. People say they can make me out very clearly. For some reason, though, my signal gets bad after about 30 minutes. And I'll have to turn it off, then on again, and this seems to fix it. Maybe it goes into a standby mode after a certain amount of time. But having said that, I also often find that other people's headsets go out, lose their battery (or whatever) and I sometimes think it's me. So it's possible that I'm creating a problem when there really isn't one! :p (Something I'm pretty good at!)

Does anyone know if these things have memory batteries? Meaning, should I run it right down to nothing before I put it on the charger? Send me a PM, if you can...I'll lose track of this post in a day or two, I'm sure.

I have the BT350. Now I want either the BT125 or 135, for BT 2.0. Which one do you guys recommend?

they both appear to have identical specs. the 135 has customizable colored strips to change the appearance of your headset. get that one and make a fashion statement...

Does the bt135 have noise cancellation?

No noise cancellation, at least for the BT125. But if you look at the reviews of this item, just about everyone raves at the excellent sound quality. I tend to agree. This is probably the best value for $25.00.

It doesn't have any blings, but I am using this for dedicated PS3 headset, no problems so far.

yeah the 135 doesn't have noise cancellation either. but like he said, sound quality is outstanding as is...

I use a bt125 as well. It works flawlessly.

Thanks guys.
I'll probably just get the 125, as many people have reported on how good it is.

Motorola H350: standard usb connection charger, excellent clarity, easy for PS3 to pair with and no re-pairing needed, good comfort (I didn't even know it was on my head). Great purchase.

EDIT: After the 1.6 update it turned out to be the worst purchase ever. I highly advocate staying away from this headset. I'm sorry if this post aided in people buying the H350 only to later find out it was a complete and utter disaster. Go with Plantronics or Jabra over motorola if you have the chance.

i have the Jabra BT135...it works fine for madden 07 but when i try to use it for nba 07 or call of duty 3 it doesn't work...any suggestions?

So can it be confirmed that the plantronics voyager 510 works with the ps3? I'm thinking of getting one and it was highly rated on amazon, but wanted to see if it could be confirmed that it did work well for the ps3.

I need to use a headphone while playing PS3 so I don't disturb my wife. I bought a Jabra 620S and realised I can only use it for chat, but not to replace the sound from the TV. Am I wrong ? Is there any solution to listen the PS3 directly through the BT headphones ????

Hey guys, hope i'm not hijacking this thread too much...

PS3 recognised my Nokia BH-801 instantly and was able to chat to my best mate in UK via the chat room ...

However, i've noticed that there is a huge lag (2-3 seconds) between when I talk and when he receives the audio... Also I can hear my "echo" (as there is a 2-3 second lag). He is using a Jabra BT330.

See the funny thing is, there's absolutely no lag when he's speaking to me - I can tell as his response comes instantly after I hear my "echo" finish speaking. Anybody else stumble across this problem and/or have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Lee

I have used approx 7 different bluetooth headsets with my cell phone and they all have nasty echo. No one would talk to me with them...I ended up returning them all.

I'm wanting to get a BT headset. I currently have no cell phone that uses one, so this would pretty much be used for the PS3. I'm looking at the JabraBT250v which looks like has good reviews. What other should I consider? I also wear glasses so if anyone has one and wears glasses what do you use?

Yep, the plantronics voyager 510 has been confirmed, I've been using it for several months now and have no problems...no need to re-pair...also it can sync to 2 different devises without having to re-pair to either. headset is very light, sound is great, the only compalint i have is the mute button its small and tough to find while playing. other than that...great product.

Sounds pretty good. I just ordered mine earlier today. If I ever get a BT phone I guess I'll be good with this headset then. From the pictures it didn't look like it was to uncomfortable to wear.

Any having problems with the Bluespoon AX2. I just got it and I can hear but I can't talk on R: FOM. Anyone have a clue?

From the pictures it didn't look like it was to uncomfortable to wear.The 510 is one sweet headset. Very easy to pair with the PS3 and is very comfortable. There are three ear bud to choose from and it fits very well. I concur that the only complaint is the placement and size of the power button. I'm getting used to it. I synchs very well with resistance/motorstorm. I'm very happy with this headset.

My Motorola 350 wasn't working right after the 1.60 update, it won't even let me register it again when I scan for it.

Count that as a blessing. Do a search for H350 and you will find all of my complaints. Trust me you don't want it to pair. Time for a new headset my friend, unless you want to wait for a Sony fix. I have just received a Sony coffin to send my PS3 back in but now I'm waiting for a new problem - because since I switched to the 510 it's like I've got a new PS3.

I haven't really tried the 510 out yet. I did get it yesterday and did wear it for a bit. It feels pretty good in the ear. I was able to get it to pair up with the PS3 with no problem. I did play Rampart with it, but didn't talk to anyone. I'm assuming when I am talking to someone I will hear the game through my surround sound and the person through the headset? When I was playing Rampart and had the headset on I could hear the game through the headphone which I thought was strange.

Is the PS network also going to set it up that we can send voice messages to friends?

Make sure you have the PS3 set up in the BT audio section for the headset to play audio correctly. Then I would also check the games audio output options too.

I haven't heard of Rampart (PS2 Game?). If it is a PS2 game to get headset working correctly you will need a USB headset - at least that is what I have read.

The PS network is not designed for voice messages yet - but you can set up a voice (BT headset) and video (if you have it) chat to a friend right off the XMB.

Any one use the Plantronics Discovery 640 Bluetooth? I was thinking of using this because the ear hooks hurt my ear.

I am also using the Plantronics 510. Works perfectly with the PS3 and an all around great headset IMO.

I have a quick question for you 510 users who have it paired to the PS3 and your phone...

Do you have to take your cellphone out of BT mode when you use the PS3? I set mine up over the weekend and I was having some issues trying to get this to work. (it didn't help that there was no user guide that went over the multi-pairing functions on Plantronics' website) It seemed like I had to re-pair it with the PS3 each time I used the headset with my cell, which isn't right according to other users who have it.

Overall, it's a great mic. The only thing that I would change is the mute set-up. It's hard to tell when it's muted - it'll beep in your ear every 30 seconds to let you know it's on mute - I think every 15 seconds would have been better. I guess I'm just used to the Xbox's mic having the switch right in front of you lol.

I think I finally decided on the voyager 510 because the specs show that it has a "noise-cancelling microphone". I was going to get the cheaper BT125, but it does not have a noise cancellation feature. Can anyone with the 510 tell me if the noise cancellation feature works well and is worth the extra money, as both the 125 and 510 are very good otherwise.

I settled on the 510 for the Boom like mic and the noise cancellation - but I can't really tell if it has improved anything since I'm generally playing in a quiet house. How much cancellation do you need? I know it can still pick up my baby crying - but thats a loud stimuli. I'm not sure how well it does on general background conversation. No one has ever complained. I will say this - it is extremely comfortable to wear and I wouldn't hesitate purchasing it over the 125 any day. I already went through the H350, and H3 which are a similar ear-hook design like the 125 and the 510 is much more comfortable.

Soyo freestyler works great no need to re-pair after on/off cycles

Well I went ahead and bought it. I found a great deal on it making it only a little more expensive than the BT125. I'll find out in a week first hand how well the noise cancellation feature works.:) By the way thanks for the previous reviews on this mic, as it helped me finally go out and buy a mic. Its really sad that I put it off so long....

I'm surprised you never picked up a mic. I find it makes Resistance more fun when you start to play with a regular group of "friends". I never got into the trash talking and for the most part I just mute people I either don't care for or can not stand the constant music coming across their headset. As for the price...I shelled out the 80$ to get it from BB. I needed the easy return policy since I had such crappy luck with motorola headsets FUBARing my PS3 until this one. If you were able to get for only a little more than the BT125 - that's one heck of a deal. I think you will be very happy with the Voyager 510. I mean, that many people can't be wrong on amazon reviews can they. Once your up and running I'd love to join you for a deathmatch/team deathmatch some time. I'm an average player - still fine tuning my game. ;) Just look me up - dogdoctor. I'm often playing with other AVSer the thePester.

^yeah, I am an idiot for not picking one up for Motorstorm! My wife and I are starting to play team matches in Resistance, so we figured a mic is mandatory at this point. Before we only played ranked free-for-all death matches, so a mic wasn't needed.

What about bluetooth headphones. Can you output the audio to only headphones for night time wife sleeping play? If so whats a good set?

Well I was just about to post that I saw them there for 39.99 today - I guess it's not working out to well for you though.

I'm thinking of buying a Nokia BH-200.

I just got a Plantronics Voyager 510 and I know it has the multipoint technology feature which allows me to have it paired with two bluetooth devices. So I have my PS3 and cell phone paired up together with it, but I have no idea how to switch from one to the other. I thought I read you just hold down the call button but doesn't seem to work. Anybody have any input on this matter?

plantronics explorer works great. had to return motorala H500 because it was terrible. the plantronics was half the price and hasn't skipped a beat.

and when I talk the meter jumps. However during chat I cannot hear anyone?

It sounds like an incompatibility (or at minimum instability) with the headset and the PS3. It happens. I would suggest a non-motorola headset to try. I went down the motorola path twice and I've been very pleased with the plantronics 510 mentioned alot above.

We missed chatting with you in the motorstorm races tonight.

Hey, going to buy a Headset in a day or two ... I was looking at the Plantronics Discovery 655 ... any reviews on that with the PS3 or how it is overall? Or do you guys have any recommendations ... trying to stay away from Motorola b/c I'm hearing bad things (and my HS850 never seemed to work even though it was paired with the PS3). I also like that feature of being able to pair with two devices that someone mentioned above ... plz help ... thx.

I tried two different BT headsets. And the AX2 didn't work with RFOM but worked with RB6 and lasted 2 hours.

The Discovery 655 sucked on both and dropped out 2 or 3 times a session. So I went to walmart and found a PS2 logitech usb headset for 18.00 and haven't have any problems. One thing I've noticed is the audio from other peoples headsets SUCK!

Is there any 5.1 usb headset compatible with the ps3?

If anyone is interested my bt125 has been giving me fits recently with online Motorstorm. It works very rarely in the game online. I think if someone joins a race with a certain bluetooth headset it causes mine not to work. It seems to me that some.. if not most bluetooth headsets... work for some games and will not work for others. This is disturbing to me and I do not know why this is. As more games come out are you going to need to have different headsets for the games? This is unacceptable, and needs to be fixed. I have already read online where some people use one headset for a game and a differant headset for another game. So far..from other peoples findings the plantronics 510 seems to work fine with all the games that they have. Anyone have the bt125, and is it working consistently with ms and other games ? It may be my setup but I have done everything that I know of in my router settings including putting the ps3 in the dmz to correct the problem. I know that MS does have mic issues but this is something completely different from that.

Edit: This may have something to do with a firmware update, 1.82?

does the BT25R Bluetooth Headset work for ps3

I haven't played in game but chatting with Jabra BT150 works.

Figure this one out for me... I have a Jabra BT125 that works great most of the time, but, for some reason, if there's about 10 or more people in a room, the sound cuts in and out. Like, in RB6:V, with a 4 on 4, in the loading area, everything is fine. Then a couple more people join, and it starts cutting in and out. It's a regular, about 1 second, interval that makes it impossible to understand anyone. Then, when the game starts, since the team only has 5 or 6 people on it, it works again. What do you think? Bandwidth problem?

I have the same headset. I am guessing you might have it working by now, but it seems the H700 has to be synced everytime you shut down the PS3.

i have the same headset but the ps3 dont find it!! what do i do?

Buy. com has a Soyo FreeStyler 500 Bluetooth Headset - Black for $12.99 right now. I ordered one hopefully it works well.

I thought I would let everyone know about it, it seems like a good price anyways.

Thanks, Im giving this one a try as well.

I've got a dilemna. I have a bluetooth "thing" I got with my phone. It's an Altec Lansing dongle with a headphone jack. I don't know if I should use that, or get warhawk with the headset.

The only con is that it's gonna have wires. and I might not hear my surround setup with two headphones in my ears.

Opinions?

This is what I found on PS3 forums.

Any thoughts as to the BT headset that comes with Warhawk? I'm looking to buy this game, but don't know if the included headset is any good.

I have 2 of them..and they work fine with all my games.

I just picked up a PS3 recently and am a little confused on the headset thing. Will any of the headsets stay paired with the PS3 when I turn it off, or do they all need to be repaired? If they need to be repaired that seems like it would be a huge annoyance.

Thanks,

What about music quality stereo BT headsets? Are there any that work?

Does anybody use the Sony DR-BT21G/B Bluetooth headset with their PS3?

I bought the set for the PS3, but it doesn't work. PS3 registers it, but all I get is hum.

Thanks,
The headsets I've used (Jabra & Motorola) both will connect to whatever it is they were last connected to when you turn them on. They also will pair with around 3 devices, so if you tell the phone or PS3 to connect to the headset it will accept their connection without going through the pairing procedure again, even if the headset is trying to connect to something else.

Works perfectly. I ditched a Moto 300 once I got the Jabra that comes with Warhawk.

I just got the Jabra BT125 for X-Mass, and I noticed the manual says we can charge via USB cable. So i was going to try to use the charging cable for PS3 controller and the PSP USB cable, but it doesn't look like the mini plug fits. any idea what other sizes there are, as the manual doesn't mention which one to use..

I'm not sure if this one does that, but if you are certain that you successfully paired and registered the PS3 (ie you can see the voice bar move in the XMB when you check the connection), but then you lose connection when you go to recheck it, either the PS3 doesn't like your headset (some Moto's have real problems with the PS3), or you need to resynch (press the call button 1 to 2 times dependin upon the headset), or you may need to repair it everytime you want to use it. Keep playing around with it, but be open to you might need to use a different headset to get consistent working results.

Yes - it has been paired, but it will not synch. Thus your 3 options. 1) Hit the call button and see if it will sync at all. If not: 2) repair the headset. 3) get a new headset. Recommendations are to go with Jabra or Plantronics.

Are there any recommended bluetooth headsets w/ a "mute" button (like the 360 headset)?

I use the headset that came with Warhawk, and can turn on/off the mic (and adjust the levels) at the XMB, but, once I've started a game like COD4 can't turn it on/off as I see fit (i.e., when the wife is yelling at me to stop playing "that damned video game", LOL). It's quite embarrassing when everyone hears this!

I like the "push to talk" feature on Warhawk, but COD4 doesn't have that functionality (at least I haven't found it yet)...

Thanks!

All Motorola Headsets..

Just picked up a Motorola h555 for $19.99 at Wally World. Will be testing it this weekend and reporting back.

To be honest I prefer a headset rather then the on ear devices. I got a Southwing SA505 with the phone I bought and would like to use it with my PS3 but the PS3 will not find it. Any suggestions or am I SOL.

On a side note I am well aware that this headset is a piece of crap but it is what I have and I think it will be good enough for voice comm. If I can get it to work.

Thanks

I have a Motorola H500. It sucks, I have to re-pair it all the time. I do not recommend using this one.

I bought a Jabra BT135 and hopefully can relegate the H500 to my back-up when the Jabra is dead.
Will report back once I receive the Jabra and test it.

If anyone else is having problems with this head set. I was not pairing properly. I was holding the play button until the blue light came on solid. You have to hold until the light blinks blue and red alternetly. Boy, if all else fails read the manual again. Duh!:o

does anyone know if the wireless headsets work with ps2 online games?

see the trouble im having is when i play a ps2 game theres that moment where the ps3 power is lost or whatever resulting in the connection to the controller and the headset to be broken now the controller can be turned back on but for some reason the headset can be turned back on, its a bluetooth 8860 from gameshark so i dont know, i was just wondering if anyone knew anything because im about to return it for a wired one

Plantronics Explorer 320 for beginners. Jawbone for higher-end tier.

Very brand new to the PS3 world. As in, just got it last night...

Anyway, I'm not a gamer, and probably never will be. I got the PS3 to be a media center type device. But occasionally I might play hockey or something. Anyway, the question I have is, if I pair a stereo bluetooth device to the PS3 can I set it up so that all the sounds come through the bluetooth? Essentially it would make them wireless headphones so I could play at night and not disturb anyone. Or is the headset only for chat and communications?

Thanks guys. PS, am in love with this thing. It is exactly what I wanted.

The game sounds will NOT play thru the head set only the voices of other players will. That would be pretty cool though.

I don't think wireless will work with the PS2 unless there is a set up where you can plug a usb reciever in to one of the usb ports on the PS2. I have not heard of anything like this though. I know at 1 time I had a wireless usb controller for the system so there may be 1 out there for the head set. Everything I searched on the subject had conflicting posts so I guess there is no stright answer. Have fun contacting Sony about the issue, you will not get a definitive answer from them. :confused:

If it is an issue of the cord not being long enough, I use a usb extension cord which adds about 10 ft of length.

I have a Motorola H500. It sucks, I have to re-pair it all the time. I do not recommend using this one.

Received my Jabra today...hope to test it out tonight. :)

Received my Jabra today...hope to test it out tonight. :)From what I have seen Jabras are very good. I personally went with Plantronics. You couldn't pay me to try another Motorola. I'm sorry you had problems, but repairing is a common issue with some versions of headsets. I'm sure you will be fine with your new one.

Yep...the Motorola is now my backup.

That is disappointing. That is exactly what I want. I want a Bluetooth wireless headset that will let me chat and play the regular audio so I can blast my friend in UT3 without bothering the wife. My Sony XBR4 has a headset jack that I can hook a Bluetooth transmitter to but I do not know of any headsets that can accept both signals from the TV and PS3 simultaneously. Is there any other way! There has got to be a way!

I don't need the chat when I'm using headphones because I'm trying to be quiet as it is. Any suggestions anyone?

If not BT, can anyone suggest any other wireless headphone that is good with a PS3?

has anyone tried the Apple iPhone headset?

Hey guys,
I have a Motorola H500 headset but like I get the PS3 to recognize it and when I play COD4 I can talk and hear other people but it cuts down my connection to one bar. Like idk who here plays COD but if u hit select during an online game it shows your connection on the right of the pop up score menu and mine's usually full but when i hook up the headset it goes down to like one bar or sometimes none.. but when i shut off the headset it goes back up. Anyone know what I can do?

I am having the same issue with my Moto H700, and it started right after the most recent update. I have had the exact same experience in Resistance and Warhawk. Also, it connects and works in the PS3 chat right up to the time when another person enters the room and then it cuts out. This has been my biggest frustration with the PS3. Various updates have messed up the functionality of various bluetooths. I know have 2 BT125's (got the second one when I bought Warhawk), a Moto H500, a Moto H700, and a Moto HS850. Sony did this before with prior updates......maybe they will fix it with the next update.

The BT125's continue to work, but they are the worst of the bunch, they pick up much more background noise and have no mute feature. I also find them to be uncomfortable. I like the H700 because you can just flip the boom and you know if it is on or off. Also, it picks up a lot less background noise and you can mute the mic really quickly. No such luck on the BT125's. Course, it is the BT125's that continue to work.....

I just found the jabra bt-135 at a store around the corner for 19.99 then comes with a 10$ mail in rebate. Even if they dont send me the 10 bucks back, still seems like a good deal.

I guess i'll run out in a few min and pick er up. Now in my car i can be like all those people i made fun of 2 years ago with those stupid things attached to their ear...:)

Does anyone have a headset that works with both a SonyEricsson w580i phone and the ps3? I'm guessing most should, especially a Sony BT headset, but you never know...

yes bluetooth is dangerous - you will suffer brain damage as a result. try not to use one for more than 3 seconds at a time.

motorola makes money by defending class action lawsuits now. :rolleyes:

Actually it's been proven that mobile phone tech and Bluetooth has no effect on the human body (excessive usage in high traffic areas has the effect of raising body temperature by a fraction of a degree in centigrade, but the body is more than capable of coping with that). Anyone complaining their phone is killing them is actually suffering from pcychosomatic symptoms - making it up until they really get ill. Bluetooth is just radio. It's like holding an FM radio next to your head. Radio waves have been around for decades and have had no effect on people.

Also, I have a Bluetrek headset, unsure what model number, and the PS3 doesn't even pick it up. So I need to get another one. I might get a Motorola.

I have a bluetrek mini and it works fine. I also have a Jawbone and it works well too, but overall for BT phone use it is way overpriced and doesn't do what it is supposed to do.

Has anyone tried out the Logitech Cordless Vantage headset for the PS3? I bought the Madcatz BT headset at the local gaming store since it was the only BT headset they had... and it is horrible. I have been looking in to getting a good headset, and this looks like it has everything... but after the Madcatz constantly disconnecting, having to re-sync every time, etc. I wanted to get some opinions before another purchase.

This is the one:

Thanks!

I have the Callpod Dragon Bluetooth headset. It has some awesome features:

-Class-1 Bluetooth - which the PS3 is also.... you can be as far away from your PS3 as you want, up to 300 ft.

-Dual mic noise suppression

-Can pair to 2 devices at once, ie, ps3 and cell phone.... if i get a cell call, i can hit the button to switch over and answer it!

its awesome!

Just bought a ps3... i want a cheap bluetooth... doesn't need to have any awesome features other then it needs to work....any suggestions.

jabra..Bt125. It's cheap, and works great with the ps3.

would you recommend buying off of ebay??

Not that one. I would stay away from Motorola headsets for the ps3. There are alot of issues with that brand and the ps3. I got my Jabra on e-bay. I paid $8.00. If you look around, you can usually find it for $19.99 on sale at online retailers, and BB or CC sometimes.

hello i have a question i have just updated my ps3 to the newest update and i was wondering if my h500 will work also i was wondering if my friends h350 will work to

please if anyone can help me it would be of great help

I have both and they both work, but they constantly need to have the connections re-paired with the ps3 in order to use them. Sometimes they are very clear and sometimes they have lots of distortion. Also, have craptastic battery life imho.

o ok thanks for your help i really appreciate it

hey i no this is ot related to bluetooth but will ps3 40 gb come out with an update for u to play ps2 and ps3 games

hey i no this is ot related to bluetooth but will ps3 40 gb come out with an update for u to play ps2 and ps3 games

More than likely not. the 40gb ps3 had the EE chip removed so unless the sony coding ninjas can get software emulation working on cell, it's not gonna happen.

o ok thanks

I'd have to recommend the Plantronics Voyager 310 (or a number close to that). You only have to sync it to the PS3 once, then never again. I think I'd go nuts if i had to do it every time i turned the PS3 on and off...

Plus it's comfortable, sounds good, and charges fast.

hey how do i sync my bluetooth headset with the ps3

i need help as soon as possible my h 350 is not working at all it worked for like a couple of mins then when i try and regester it, its not finding my headset which is really ticking me off please help as soon as possible

also i would like to add which is the best bluetooth head set for the ps3

gah, i just read this thread and i'm more confused than before.


whats the best bang for the buck for a no frills, yet reliably working headset?

do i want a headset w/ boom or just a little ear thing?

How about the Jabra BT2040? Only $19.99 at BestBuy...

Is you headset in pairing mode?

gah. i just got a Jabra BT2010 and as soon as it registered, my controller stopped working! so i can only use the controller plugged into the usb cable.

and i can't get the ps3 to connect to the jabra. the light just blinks, or i can turn it off. also if i try to talk in the audio settings i get nothing on the meter, its black.

i can't delete the bluetooth device because it can't connect to it. and so then i can't get my controller back.

pretty frustrating.

no its not in pairing mode cause my ps3 cant pick up the signal nether can my phone and the light on the headset is blinking so i no its on

yea its in pairing mode

Hopefully someone can help me.... I just bought a Plantronics Explorer 220 from Costco yesterday. I paired it with my PS3 and tried to use it but it wasn't working. Is there a way to test the device to make sure it is working properly? Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks!

i have paired my h350, BUT now several of my games seem to lag?? If I turn my BT off the lag goes away??

I dont get it. My Jabra BT-350 pairs with my PS3 40GB automatically. However, I can't use Voice Chat in SFIV! THe red microphone doesnt show up!

My bluetooth i have used cost me about $100 but i can listen to music, talk, and use it with the PS3. It is the plantronics voyager 855. It has a slide down microphone so excellent quality worth every cent.:)

The bluetooth probably cant handle the information it is sending.

I just bought the official PS3 Sony BT headset. Does anyone know how to get it to work in Windows? I can't seem to pair it in Windows.. No drivers. :(

I just got my hands on a Plantronics Voyager Pro this week from work.

I tested it out on the PS3, and it does not work well.

There's some sort of interference between the headset and the controller. My controller went crazy, then the assignment was undone, and then it turned the controller off.

I contacted Plantronics support, and they confirmed it is a known issue and they are working with Sony on how to fix it.

So, for the time being I would avoid this headset.

There's some sort of interference between the headset and the controller. My controller went crazy, then the assignment was undone, and then it turned the controller off.Yes, interference and ultimately a full BT disconnect from the PS3 to BT devices. I would have though they would have fixed all that with the PS3 by now. Odd...
I contacted Plantronics support, and they confirmed it is a known issue and they are working with Sony on how to fix it.Wow, and I thought Plantronics was a safe headset company to get from for the PS3. Well it just goes to show that headsets are still hit or miss.

Hmm...I never had problems with my BT headset. I've had my PS3 since Jan 2007.

Maybe it's the BT that I have? It's a Jabra BT125.

I have a Jabra BT8040, and it exhibits the exact same issue.

BlueAnt hooked up fine!:)

BlueAnt hooked up fine!:)

Which model do you have? I was looking at those the other night.

So is there a model that actually works, like, well it should?

just picked up a nokia bh-105 last night.
paired fine with the ps3 - have to test in mw2 tonight

Motorola H790 - Pairs with 2 phones/devices at a time, so I have it paired with my iPhone and PS3, no issues. Oh and its nice and loud/clear too!

I use a Moto H390 ... it's cheap and works fine.
However I don't use it as a headset, I only use it as a mic... for a number of reasons:

1) I usually wear headphones when I game. 'Nuff said - I can't put a headset in my ear when I'm wearing headphones...
2) Comfort - I don't like the feeling of a headset in my ear-hole. I don't like ear bud headphones, either. Personal preference, I guess.
3) Sound - I have a nice HT setup, I'm not about to put something in one of my ears that will muffle / distort / soften the sound of my speakers. Audio is such a big part of games these days that I just don't understand why people put something in their ear that will lessen that audio experience. Especially in the competitive world of online gaming, it seems like an instant disadvantage if you can't hear someone creeping up on your flank because you have something in your ear.

So I usually either rest my headset on my chest, or I just place it on the table in front of me (if I'm playing in my usual leaning-forward position)... And I plan to glue a clip to the headset so I can simply attach it to my shirt / lapel.

this one work fine
USB-TEK UT7710B

very cool. will the ps3 take the usb headset I have for ps2? I would think it would.
Since the controller charges through a mini USB connection, there is an attachment to plug in to the mini USB hole on the controller and on the other end would have a regular USB hole. You could try plugging in the USB headset to this and it just might work. Although, I dont think the ps3 would recognize the headset through the controllers bluetooth connection, meaning the ps3 couldn't determine if the controller is asking for audio and sending audio. It seems to me like this has a 80% chance of working based off of all my technical knowledge.

Motorola H3

Just remember to turn it off, then activate the PS3 bluetooth search, then hold the button on the headset for about 5-8 seconds (the light will go solid), the PS3 will then recognize it right away.

hey i know this is an old thread. but i'm trying to use my Motorola H3 and its not working very well. i can activate it. but when i try to use it there's a loud screeching noise. i was wondering if you know what to do to help?

Jabra worked great for me as well :D Was a gift from my husband who bought it from Hypercel. :o

Hey folks, I just bought the Motorola S305 bluetooth headphones for my PS3. However, there is no bluetooth audio capability on the PS3 so I can only do voice and chat. What a bummer! The headphones paired great and work well. The fit isn't perfect, but there is good sound quality. I also paired the headphones with my macbook pro, and iphone 4.

I highly recommend the motorola s305 for an inexpensive solution. The were $37 at Amazon. com. Pairing with the PS3 is at the link below:
