Angad. Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Hi Guys!! which USB headsets (available in delhi) work with PS3??? Do all USB headsets work?? I have a bluetooth (motorolla) headset, but i heard the sound quality is much better with USB wired headsets!! The only USB headsets available in Nehru Place (Computer market in Delhi) are Microsoft ones (lol, the irony!!)!!! However, the guy in one of the shops showed me this convertor, which connects to the USB and has two output jacks (similar to the ones we have one our PC sound card), one for earphones and other for mic. But it had a driver cd along with it, so i was a little apprehensive as I dont know if the PS3 will recognize it or not (can we install the drivers in PS3 to make it recognize the hardware, without installing Linux ofcourse???) Thanks!! -Angy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death Stryke Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 dude, PS3 doesnt output sound through USB. Dont buy a USB headset. As for voice chat, Bluetooth headset only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angad. Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 go for the safe step just get a bluetooth headset. Am using a bluetooth headset only (motorolla), but the sound is sometimes very distorted!! Maybe it happens when the batteries become a lil weak. But does it happenw ith everyone??? Or is the voice crystal clear in your case?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freshlikemanniebeat Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 i also was thinkin of just gettin a headset with usb wire, cause the distance from my sofa to tv isnt far at all and i cant afford to spend money on a blue tooth...soo you guys are saying it doesnt work ?

Andrew327 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I would suggest to go with a bluetooth one as if you go with some good USB headset they will cost nearly the same or more than the bluetooth one's, also some say it works and say it doesn't so why take a risk, go with the bluetooth one............

Harsahil Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 dude USB heaad sets works fine for voice chat in and out of gaming. I have been using one for the past two months.. ask HSP and Harsahil if u dont beleive me. I play with them quite often. u r right. ur voice is pretty clear when we used to play RE5 demo together. @Angy: yea it works... but not all of them work. why dont u buy the USB headset which other ppl have tried first? then u can be less apprehensive.. i got a Bluetooth headset but now i am thinking of getting USB ones because bluetooth headsets have been proved to be Carcinogenic and the other thing is that its battery dies out, while there is no issue of battery with USB headsets...

Phaseolus Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Hi guys any one who is interested in getting a USB head set.. I reccomend 100 %.. since they work great and u dont have to go thru the hassle of charging.. also the quality is better than a BT headset since its wired.. NOw I will tell you a way to have a wired head set for real cheap.. since normal usb headsets cost around 1000 - 1500 bucks which is quite expensive.. 1. All you need is a normal headset with mike which you can use for ur computer (something im sure most of you already have) which has the two plugs.. one for the audio and one for the mike. 2. you will need a usb aud/mike adaptor which u can get from any shop for around 250 - 300 bucks.. the pic is below.. so all u need to do is connect ur normal head set on one side and the usb side into ur ps3. and Tadaa! you have a cheap solution.. which works beautifuly.. this is what I use.. 3. if you are sitting a little distance away from ur ps3 just buy a usb extention cable (pic below) that cost like rs 30 and ur all set.. Oh and btw THERE IS NO NEED TO INSTALL ANY SORT OF DRIVERS WHATSOSEVER.. This works as soon as you connect it.. Any one trying to sell you drivers for the adaptor is talking out of his a*s.. Just want to clear up one last doubt.. Some people are not sure whether you hear other players thru the head set or through the TVs speakers when it comes to using this setup.. Rest easy people. Voice output is thru the earphones.. It works just like it should Hope ive helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
