Product Information

Wireless headsets offer convenience and freedom when gaming on the PS3, but sometimes they can encounter issues. Here are some common problems you may encounter and troubleshooting steps to resolve them. Once you have selected the correct audio output setting, you will be prompted to choose the type of audio input, such as HDMI or RCA cables. Select the option that matches your setup.

It's plastic and, well, It's probably as sturdy as the MDR-V600 headphones. My V600s have lasted 11 years so far. Nothing to complain about here. I don't plan on dropping them or anything. The telescoping microphone is "flimsy" but, again, I don't plan on dropping my earphones right on the extended mic. It's not really "flimsy" in the sense that it'll break easily, more just that it's very loosely fit together. Doesn't bother me. The Sony Pulse Wireless Headset: Elite Edition ships with a 3.5mm audio cable that let's you use the headset with everything from an MP3 player to a smartphone or even a PS Vita. The versatile USB adapter gives you the option of even using the headset with a TV which means that, technically, you can use it with non-PS3 consoles by way of your standard TV audio. I am very impressed with this wireless headset. The following are my thoughts on it's various qualities: Once the scanning process is complete, your Bluetooth headset should appear on the list of available devices. Highlight your headset and press the X button on your controller to select it.When it comes to choosing the right headset for your PS3, there are a few factors to consider. Here are some helpful suggestions to help you make the best choice: Inspect the microphone boom for any damages or debris. Clean it gently using a soft cloth if necessary. Sony PlayStation Gold Wireless Headset: This official Sony headset offers virtual 7.1 surround sound, a built-in microphone, and comfortable over-ear design. It provides a seamless wireless connection to the PS3.

Stereo vs Virtual 7.1: Okay, yes, the 7.1 is NOT AT ALL like having a real 7.1 sound system. Forget that it's called 7.1. Just call it Virtual Surround Sound. It's really just a stereo expander and it remixes all the audio channels into a much wider and dynamic range. In Stereo, everything will feel really close together and in your head, but in Virtual 7.1, all the channels feel like they're spread out and distinct with the center channel standing out clearly and cleanly. It's very impressive. Don't get caught up in verifying if it's 7.1 or not, it makes a big difference in the experience.Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the pairing process. This typically involves entering a passcode or pressing a specific button on the headset to establish the connection. On your PS3, go to the “Settings” menu. You can access this by scrolling to the far-left on the XMB and selecting the “Settings” icon.
