*Urgent* Need Decent Headsets For PS3

Also look at turtlebeach PX5. I was in a dilemma between them and Pulse Elite and chose the PX5. It is also cross platform compatible so you can use it with any source you want. I use it with TV as well when I am not using it with my PS3.

I am also looking for a headset for my PS3 for around 100$. Amazon is selling the PS3 official headset for ~75$ (add another 25-30$ for customs & shipping). I can also get used PX5 for around 80-100$ off eBay. Which is the better option ? Also any other choices in this budget ? I don't mind used from eBay US. Main use will be PS3.

 

And what's the difference between Pulse Elite and normal Pulse headset ?

So the new Elite edition should cost be around 90-120$ from US via ebay. PX5 is a good deal more expensive. So i am probably going to buy the Elite edition. The eBay guy mentioned above has bumped up the price to 10K (~165$).

 

If i buy through Shop-n-Ship - it will be 18$ shipping + another 20-30$ duty depending on luck. Amazon is offering it via Global Shipping for 8K + 1K duty deposit. So looks like if i get it for less than 100$ on ebay - buy it from there - otherwise Amazon.

if d ebay guy i mentioned is not selling at 8.5k then dont buy from him... he has gone crazy now...

 

He said because of high dollar rate - he will sell it for 10k only now. I will buy it from US looks like - i just bought a linksys router for 6K + 1K shipping when it's 13k+ in india !

Now that the OP's query is solved , I think I can hack the thread now.

 

Here is my set up

PS3 -> Optical Cable -> 5.1 DTS Speeakers

The speaker set does have a stereo out in, but I don't know if it supports mic also.

I don't have any mic available with me. So I can't play MP games so well.

What's the cheapest option available to have mic with PS3.

Also the PS3 sits at 10 ft away from me, so if it's wireless or bluetooth it'll be better.

I won't mind the output through the surround system and mic input through some cheap (1k) set.

Thanks . One more question.

So if I'm not wrong :

 

1) My 5.1 Speakers will output the normal game audio

2) The headset would output the voice by other players (?? or will it also be produced by the normal 5.1 speakers)

3) The headset ill input my voice for other players

 

Also will it be an issue that my voice and the game sound (coming through the 5.1 speaker) will go as input, will it produce crappy sound.

By default its like, us mic gives u other player's sound and u interact with them using it and game audio is from TV speakers or whatever output u r using.... ;)

Cab you suggest me some good headset with big battery life .

Does the fact that mic is not next to the mouth hamper sound quality ? As it might mix up with the game sound coming from the speakers?

Actually, quality depends on the headsets.... I also have sony's official bluetooth headsets for ps3 which i dont really use there days but voice is sometimes screwed up like i get echo's, maybe its because of other's systems..... As long as mic is of decent quality, u dont need to worry about anything. And as of battery life, i dont really have any idea.....
