    PlayStation 3

    The PlayStation 3 (often abbreviated PS3) is the third home video game console created and released by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.

    So is the official PS3 headset junk, or is it just mine?

    I ended up nabbing the official PS3 bluetooth headset via the SOCOM bundle, keeping the headset and ditching SOCOM. I've only had a couple of opportunities to use it, but both times the supposed noise cancellation was a joke. Unless I keep game audio at an absolute minimum, it just sputters out noise almost as bad as the Jabra that came with Warhawk. I've tried HQ mode as well as taking the sensitivity down to one, and it makes no difference.

    Other people claim to have success with it, though, so I was wondering if anyone here plays games with it on a regular basis and don't see thier in-game mic indicator on Burnout or Resistance 2 just blowing the hell up all the time.

    I've also thought about just getting a cheap USB headset and hoping that works better, so if anyone has any input on that, it would be appreciated.

    I did not know the official ps3 headset had noise canceling. learn something new every day, Though while i've had no voice problems for the most part with the headset its voice quality is less then that of the 360 headset, The complaint i mainly have with it is that its uncomfortable and boxy, the 360 headset fits over the ear comfy and i can wear it for hours, the ps3 headset fits "inside" the ear and it gets uncomfortable after about 30 minutes, its edges are hard so trying to turn it down makes it rub againest my ear and its a very very loose headset where as the 360 is nice and snug.

    I ended up buying the Logitech Vantage at a GameStop, for anyone who's in the same boat as me. It's still not perfect, and it seems quality will vary from game to game, but in Killzone 2 it's just about perfect.

    Must be just yours because my friend has had no issues. I only use the Warhawk Jabra one though...
