Customer Reviews

best headset i've used
Looks like a hit or miss product given the reviews however i have had seven headset over the years ranging from Nokia to Jawbone and do feel this is the most comfortable headset i have ever used, and not intrusive into my ear-hole with is a bonus after hours of gameplay.

Although I have experienced static from time to time i have found out this could be a isp issue with broadband bandwidth from other online users as this has happened with all my headsets. It could also be something to do with the constant firmware updates by Sony that do seem of late to change the sensitivity of my mic even if i use my £120 jawbone headset which is meant to be used by the US military! Other than the design which i like as it suits my gaming set up, I do think Jawbone wins hands down for detail.

The most amazing fact is though the price, at under £20 i wish i had brought this first as it would have saved me a lot of money over the last couple of years! Would recommend as a great buy and is now my most used headset especially online. It also seems to work better with the End War demo even than the Sony headset as i need to speak much more loudly to get my commands actioned which can be annoying (although this might be to do with me having an US import!).

Does the job but could be much better
Setting up is a breeze and the earpiece is comfortable to wear but there is a lot of crackle and static. This interference happened whether I was close to the PS3 console or not. Also annoying is the fact that you have to wait for the other person to finish talking before you start.
At the end of the day, the thing works, battery life is very good and it is user friendly but the interference takes the shine off.

Value for money
At this price it's a steal. The comfort is much better than my bluetooth headset which cost me 40 quid. On that subject, tried it with my iphone and it worked great. interference is there now and again, but I think you would get that with any bluetooth headset??? Pairing with the PS3 is a breeze and battery life hasn't been an issue
