You're down to the last, crucial move in battle. This could be a game-changing moment — the moment when you crush your top rival, seize the top slot on the leaderboard and make your mark in history. You face sharp-shooting snipers, earth-shattering explosions and a hazardous terrain. The last thing you want to worry about is a lost connection between your key ally, a pounding headache from your headset or tangled wires distracting you from the action. Don't get caught off guard for even a second and don't even think about being isolated from the communication that could make or break your mission. Arm yourself with the best defense possible with the Bluetooth Gaming Headset for PlayStation 3. Immerse yourself in the global conversation that's driving your game — without a single wire tying you down — with this powerful cordless headset. Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR technology instantly connects you to your PlayStation 3 console and immediately puts you in contact with your online teammates and competitors so you can get right into the action without worrying about messy cables or annoying inputs. Don't let fatigue or pain keep you from playing at your prime — strap on this lightweight, comfortable-fitting headset, and you'll forget you're even wearing it. As the battle rages on, you won't have to worry about ditching your comrades over a dead battery, thanks to the Bluetooth Gaming Headset's generous seven hours of talk time and 250 hours of standby time. When it does come time for a power boost, quickly hook up to the nearest power supply using your choice of the included AC adapter or USB charging cable.

What's great about it: Cheap, pretty comfortable, nice accessories
What's not so great: Wouldn't work for gaming
This bluetooth headset is competitively priced (especially since it comes with a nice universal micro USB cable and USB-wall adapter), and was more comfortable than other bluetooth headsets I've tried - which would probably be worth 3-4 starts on its own, BUT since it is a "gaming headset for PlayStation 3" that would not work on my PS3, I cannot recommend it.
It paired with the PS3 quite easily, and using the Accessory and Sound settings I designated the headset for audio output and input, however when I tried to use it with Mass Effect 3 Muli-player it didn't work at all - I couldn't hear anything and the mic didn't work. The game itself didn't even recognize that I had a headset. I tried restarts of both the console and the headset and tweaked every setting find, but no success.
Maybe it's just this game (I don't play that many online multi-player games so didn't try it with something like MW:3), but I quickly returned it and got a Sony PS3 Wireless Stereo Headset.
If you don't mind taking a risk the Rocketfish bluetooth headset might be worth trying, but since it didn't work at all for it's intended purpose I can't give this a recommendation or higher rating.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: It has great sound quality,perfect size,an unbeatable price,and a great starter headset!
What's not so great: the mic is corded,but is 25 feet,so no big deal.
This headset has great sound quality,the mic is a perfect size, and an unbeatable price! For a headset that is 20$, i really reccomend it! The only flaw with the headset is that it has a cord,its it about 25 feet,so not really that big of a deal. The nice thing is that you dont have to charge it constantly like the ps3 bluetooth. I upgraded to a Turtle Beach PX21, but there is no starter headset like this one! If you just got a ps3, get this one.
I would recommend this to a friend!
