What's great about it: The wireless Bluetooth interface and the Virtural Surrond Sound are worth the price!
What's not so great: I have never run out of battery charge, but the headphones need charging every night.
I'm 64 years old with severe hearing loss. These Sony headphones have made me very happy because I can hear EVERYTHING said in movies and games that I previously would have had to rewind and listen to again on my Altec-Lansing desktop audio. The VSS gives unbelieveable depth and spacial reproduction to the PS3. I mostly use then for Netflix, Amzon Prime, Hulu+ and BDs and DVDs. The interface with the PS3 is very easy to use after the initial pairing. If these headphones enhance the PS3 listening experience for a 64 year old deaf guy, just imaging what it can do to enhance a young persons gaming experience! I would also recommend the Sony Media/Blu-ray Disc Remote Control for PlayStation 3 in addition to the Sony Headphones for ease of use in controlling different components from a single control. Both are definitely worth the price!

What's great about it: Comfortable, nice sound.
What's not so great: No charger! Sound cuts out.
I don't know if it was intended, but this wireless headset didn't come with a charger. There's no mention of a charger being included on the box. I had to find an old LG cell phone charger that fit because it's not even a USB.
I use it for the PS3 and the sound is beautiful, even better than my television can produce. However every couple minutes there's a burp in the sound where it completely cuts out. It really gets annoying after a while and ruins the atmosphere of whatever game I'm playing.

What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: It's not bluetooth, but I knew that before buying.
Works great to go between your PC and PS3, sounds amazing, easy to install (plug in the wireless adapter, turn on headset, and that's it for both PC and PS3), battery last a long time! Just a few notes, this does not come with a charging cable, but if you have the cable to charge your PS3 controllers, that'll do; the signal reaches about 20 feet if you're in the same room as the adapter, doesn't work room-to-room. It'd be amazing to be bluetooth so you have no adapter, longer battery, and a greater range, but I'm 99.3% happy with these.

What's great about it: Outstanding Audio Quality, Affordable, Wireless works throughout apartment
What's not so great: Don't look as awesome as some other headsets out there, Doesn't work with Xbox
I've had a couple sets of gaming headsets, and these are the ones that I am the most happy with. I do own a Playstation 3 and they are fantastic with it, but they are great for doing housework because you can listen to music pretty much throughout a small apartment. Fantastic for a college student. Great audio quality, and the 7.1 work well. Unless you're looking to drop 250 on the PX5 or 270 on the XP500s these are fantastic.

What's great about it: everything
I was shopping around for a headset for my ps3. I chose this one for several reasons. First of all, it is made by Sony, so it has to be great, and it is. For the price it does everything you need plus it is cordless. The range is superb, no interference, volume control for sound, as well as 7.1 surround sound, and a hideaway microphone. The sound is excellent and they are very comfortable. You will hear things with these that you will not normally hear while playing through your tv. I keep the volume at it's lowest and it is crystal clear and plenty loud enough. There is no need for wires, or amplifiers which other headsets have and cost hundreds more.

This head set has a great sound and is worth the price. My only wish is that this headset should have some type of adapter to hook up to tvs that don't have a usb port.It also works great on pcs. Overall this product is great!

What's great about it: Good Price, Easy to set up, Comfortable, sound quality, 7.1 virtual surround sounds.
What's not so great: Flimsy microphone
Bought this at my local best buy. After 3 days of using them, I've got to say that this could probably one of the best wireless headphone by sony. The wireless feature works well on your PS3, PC or MAC. The design of the headphone are pretty attractive, size of the headphone just about perfect (I have big head so it fits my head pretty good). The sound quality was great (not super fantastic, but it will still get the job done well). The only downside (which is why I give it a 4 stars) are the extendable & retractable microphone. The moment when I pulled out the microphone, I feel that that piece of microphone is gonna break at any sort of pressure (better take extra care on this because once the microphone breaks, you're done). This is something that Sony could do better. Overall, if you're looking for a wireless gaming or PC headset, I would recommend this headset.
Note: this headset does not work on Xbox 360 (I think majority of you guys should know that).

What's not so great: Small sliders
The only problem I have with these are the locations of the volume controls. The sliders are smaller and my fingers are too large to find them easily. Overall these headphones are an excellent choice and are better sounding, more comfortable, and seem to have a better build quality than my Turtle Beaches.

Just bought this headset and in an hour and a half i have been kicked from every game I've played. With this problem being clear I tried to use netflix and when the headset is on it barely loads. Don't buy it you will be disappointed. I mean really; its made by sony and they didn't test it enough on the console which they designed enough to notice this wireless issue. Bail on sony Turtle Beaches FTW!!

What's great about it: Personal Surround Sound with microphone
What's not so great: Bulky compared to ear buds.
I bought these for my daughter because she lives in an apartment and was being distracted by the various noises of apartment living while we played Black Ops online.
She loves them! The surround sound is excellent, and the headphone style eliminates the need for extra volume to cover the distractions. While they aren't as comfortable as ear buds (which you couldn't guarantee the orientation of the surround sound with), they are great someone who has to share a space or limit the volume.

What's great about it: very confortrable, sounds amazing, looks good, battery last long
What's not so great: Retractable Microphone feels flimsy
These headphones are really good. I bought these because I didn't have any gaming headset. I used a cellphones Bluetooth before, yea I know. I got these 4 months ago and I have been very happy with them. They are very comfortable. The padding is very soft and feels good on your head. They are a lot more comfortable than my music headphones for sure. The bass is not to strong but It still sounds amazing, specially if you are playing games with great sound. On the left side you have the power on button, the sound volume, the Voice Chat volume and the retractable microphone. The voice chat sounds great once you play around with the headphone settings a little bit. The battery last about 5 to 6 hours which is pretty good for me. The headset does not interfere with the controller as some people are saying. I love the way they look, it matches my PS3 and well, overall they look really good. The quality is good but not great. They feel like if you drop them on hard floor they would brake and the retractable Microphone does feel flimsy, but if you truly know how to take care of your stuff, you shouldn't worry about them breaking. Overall I give this headphone a happy 4.5/5 and I recommend this to anyone.

What's great about it: 7.1 Surround Sound, rechargeable, comfortable, great sound.
What's not so great: Not bluetooth, uses USB port on PS3, susceptible to interference.
Sony had been rather disappointing with their initial attempts at proprietary audio headsets for the PS3. Their last couple of bluetooth headsets were very uncomfortable and did not provide much in return of options. The stereo headset they have made is a nice suprise. They sound great and have few good options, like a retractable boom mic, slider that balances game sound to chat, rechargeable, 7.1 virtual surround sound and they are comfortable. I say they are a bit overpriced because they are not bluetooh and the cause you to have to use one of the two USB ports on the system, Also be mindful that they are 2.4 GHz, so if other devices on a similar frequency are near, especially other wireless devices, the headset may not connect to the receiver. They do work great on PC/Mac though. All in all, there are great and definitely the best Sony has to offer at this point

What's not so great: absolutely nothing
I actually work at best buy so I get a lot of info on products and feed back from customers. I have been shopping for a desent headset for a while for my PS3 for gaming and watching bluray movies. I must say I am very impressed with the quality of the sound that comes out of this thing!!! Played Some Na_ i Zombies and was amazed at the 7.1 surround quality that came out of the spaekers. I could actually hear the zombies behind me!! Foot steps and gunfire was very clear and distinct as well as good base with the explosions. Tried it with movies and the sound is amazing and felt like I had a actual surround sound home theater. They fit very well over my head and wore them for hours and had no discomfort what so ever. Have not used the mic yet but eager to try tonight with MW3. For the price I was amazed at the punch this headset is packing!!!
