 Best bluetooth mic so far October 28, 2008

I went to America recently and picked up a few items for almost half the price there, Sony's Official Bluetooth Headset being one of them.
I have owned a few headsets, a logitech vantage USB headset which has been, and still is my favourite mic for online gaming. It is a bit bulky and the long wire isnt pretty but sound quality is good, mic picks up your voice nice and loud, big mute button, and it fits your head just right (can be adjusted too).
The other one i had was the wireless bluetooth version of the vantage USB, called the logitech cordless vantage funnily enough. It had a behind the ear design, boasted a good battery life and easy controls. This was a dissapointment, the controls were a single button which were fidgety, the size wasnt adjustable and it was really loose for me and the quality of sound was average. And recharging was frequent too.
For that reason, i was reluctant buying a bluetooth headset. When i found out about this official one from sony with socom i knew i had to try it. Overall its my best bluetooth mic, and 2nd overall compared to logitech usb. The docking bay is excellent to recharge it when not in use, it fits snugly in your ear with a extra ring if you need it tighter, it can be worn on left/right ear, mute button is big and its a comfy mic. Also, its the only one with a screen status on the ps3 (because its the official one) telling you if your mic is muted or disconnected etc which is helpful.
The only bad thing i had experience with it was even at volume 5, it did have trouble picking up my voice. Probably because the mic has noise reduction from outside sounds, but its just killing itself with it. So i had to speak a little louder than usual to be heard which can be annoying. If Sony could fix this it would be the perfect mic.
Solid 9/10 - would recommend regardless.
P.S IIf you buy the socom bundle, you get the mic and socom game cheaper
Convenient Gaming Headset November 18, 2008

Happened to grab one of these headsets a while before the standalone EU launch.
Attractive design and convenient application. Audio is clearly reproduced in both directions. This is further evident when using the exclusive PS3 feature of the headset; High Quality mode.
Other Features: Mute button to silent the mic and volume buttons for the ear, on screen display for battery and volume info, charging cradle for open mic usage while charging the device and auto PS3 pairing that requires no Bluetooth USB connector. The headset is universal in the sense that it can be paired with other Bluetooth appliances
Negatives: Not very comfortable; others may have less of a problem with, what would seem like, an oversized ear plug.
The PS3's Audio Device Settings gives the impression that this mic is very quiet; no matter what audio level you pick (1-5) your voice volume seems the same. It's, therefore, hard to tell if it's possible to make your voice louder/quieter. HQ mode also introduces input-voice lag.
The power button is awkward to use while wearing the headset and when the mute button is used, the headset sequentially emits an in-ear beep.
Usage: Make sure to charge the device in the cradle until it's fully charged (blinking red light eventually turns into a solid one). Connect the headset directly to the activated PS3, using a wired USB connection, without the cradle. The green light should flash, thus, indicating successful pairing.
If pairing fails (long red blink), go into Accessory Settings / Manage Bluetooth Devices to delete the PS3 Headset, should it be there, then try to pair again. Mine failed to pair due to it already being listed as a Bluetooth device, until I deleted it.
pretty decent mic January 4, 2009
Got this with my special edition of Tom Clancy's Endwar, thought it was a decent enough headset with clear audio unfortunatly it came with no instructions so i had to waste about an hour figuring out how to pair the bloody thing with the PS3 but that was probably because it came with a game and not standalone. Had no problems with the size of the ear bud after i stopped trying to point the headset to my mouth so much and just let it sit pointing to my nose :P. Only complaint is the beeping if you have it on mute but that is understandable as how else would you be able to tell it was on mute.
