I asked this question in the PS3 forums, didn't get that many responses, but they were appreciated.

I was wondering if anyone knows any good quality PC Gaming Headsets that are compatible with the PS3 through USB.

I was looking at a few SteelSeries products, they look pretty nice but I'm unsure if they would be compatible.

I just started getting into PC Gaming so i was thinking of picking up a good headset, and I'd like to kill 2 birds with 1 stone and be able to use the headset for both my PC and PS3.

I know some headsets come with a USB sound card I'm not sure if I were to plug that into the ps3 USB port would it work?

But I guess that's a difficult answer since I'm pretty sure there are headsets that are compatible and some that aren't.

But if anyone knows if there are PC Gaming Headsets that are compatible for sure I would greatly appreciate your help.

I wouldn't recommend any usb ones for the ps3.
simply because when you use it.. you can only hear the voice-chat sounds on your usb headphones... you do not hear the ingame sound on your headphones.
at least this has been my experience..
you can set the voice chat sound to be outputted on the regular speakers .. but there is no option to output the game sound out the usb speakers/headphones

what I would suggest you could do is .. use the rca ( red and white connectors on the cable ) connectors on the ps3 and concert them to a mini-jack female... then in the xmb you go to
settings > sound settings > audio output settings and select the audio input connector .. then the sound will be outputted to the regular headphones..
and for a microphone i suggest you just get those new sony official bluetooth headsets ( when they are out ) and clip that to your shirt..

bit of a stretch.. but its kinda the same setup I use... and works great.

well glad you found a solution..
let me know how the mic works on the tritton ax pro works.
I was thinking of getting it .. but I wanted to use 1 pair of headphones for my pc and ps3... and I have had bad experience on the ps3 with usb mics.

isn't it bluetooth ones that work with the ps3? 0_o

yes but so does usb... they both have their advantages bluetooth is wireless
usb one doesn't need charging and is always on... you don't have to go in the xmb to enable it .. or check why it isn't working.

Get the new official PS3 headset that comes with SOCOM. The SOCOM/headset bundle is only $60 and will be available mid-October.

I know .. I preorderd mine.. but think we should stop here cause this is the pc section this topic kinda derailing to ps3 area of things now  = )

I'm actually looking for a decent headset for my PC. Any suggestions?

depends on what kind..
usb or jack ?
stereo or 5.1 / 7.1

Yeah, my friend uses just a basic usb headset on his ps3 and it works just fine for him.

This are the best solution...  http://www.turtlebeach.com/products/efpx1/home.aspx

Your better off getting this instead:  Astro Gaming A40 MixAmp
Its Dolby Digital Decoder as well and enables you to connect your PC and Ps3/360 at once to the same headphones.
Both sound sources are outputted at the same time ( ie; this enables you to listen to your own mp3 songs on the PC while playing PS3 games )
With some clever cable splitter and USB to jack connector, you can even use the same microphone on both systems.

They even sell it with their own high quality Headphones ( if you don't like the ones you have already )
A40 Audio System
MLG A40 Ststem
