Keeping in Touch with a Playstation 3 Headset

Headsets have been used to keep gamers in touch for years now, so it comes as no surprise that Sony’s Playstation 3 offers headset support. With a built in microphone, headsets allow gamers to communicate instantly, offering the difference between virtual life and death in intense gaming situations. However, there are several types to choose from, and the following types will allow you to make the most educated decision when purchasing a Playstation 3 headset.

The Right Games

At launch, many games offer offer Playstation 3 headset support, but not all. Some popular ones even, like Call of Duty 3, offer no voice chat (but they do offer text chat) while others, like Full Auto 2, offer no communication support whatsoever. However, most games do offer support with Resistance Fall of Man and Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 in the mix. Therefore, it’s important that you research which games support headsets before deciding to make a purchase.

Beyond which games offer headset support, will you even be playing multiplayer games? Many gamers only play single player games, and therefore a Playstation 3 headset would be useless to them. However, if you are going to play multiplayer games and your games support headsets, then there are several different types of headsets to choose from.

Bluetooth vs USB

Two main types of headset devices are supported USB (universal serial bus) and Bluetooth. A Bluetooth Playstation 3 headset is wireless, so you can move around freely with it on without worrying about messy wires. A strong wireless connection allows you to not worry about signal strength, while encryption protects the signal from prying ears. With support of up to 7 Bluetooth devices, the Playstation 3 can have any combination of wireless controllers, headsets, and other gear.

With a USB Playstation 3 headset, users never have to worry about recharging the headset unlike the Bluetooth version as the USB cable supplies all the necessary power. Also, Playstation 2 games require a USB headset, so if you’re planning on using the Playstation’s backwards compatibility with multiplayer games, a USB headset is the right choice for you.

Today’s multiplayer games allow gamers to communicate and organize themselves in ways not possible before. With real time interaction and planning, players are much more capable of immersing themselves in the situations they find themselves in. A Playstation 3 headset allows gamers to interact with each other and enjoy a much more realistic experience.
