PS3 Wireless Bluetooth Headset

As will be becoming familiar to regular readers – we like to start by getting to the point. The PS3 Wireless Bluetooth Headset allows higher quality voice-chat on PS3.

Mute status, volume level, battery fuel gauge, charging status and connection status are all displayed up on PS3's on-screen display. The headset can be used as a microphone when docked in the charging cradle – the voice output from PS3 is automatically transferred to the TV in this instance. The charging cradle also makes for easy storage of Headset when it is not being used.

The product is simple to connect and comes with an idiot’s guide just incase you have any problems. The one thing that may annoy you is the "bleep" noise every few seconds the headset is on mute. All in all the PS3 Wireless Bluetooth Headset is a great product and well worth the investment for any serious online gamer.
