The GioTeck EX-01 Wireless Headset seems to be the most common headset, highly rated by users on VZi. Available in Game for about £23, can be found online for about £17.

A lot of mobile phone headsets will work but you need to know the code to match it to the PS3. The code comes with the headset normally 0000 or 1234 etc.
Ideally you want one with a USB charge cable. For about £6 you can get a budget one sent from Hong Kong via Ebay

Other users may say you are quiet because the mic is far away from your mouth.

If you can find Socom PS2 game with the wired USB mic (normally under £10 on Ebay) then it is a simple plug and play. Downside is you need to be within about 2/3 metres of the PS3.

Top of the range wired headset is the Turtle Beach P21. £69.99
Available from Game. These are wired but allow you to adjust the chat volume and game volume separately.

You can also use the mic that is built into the Eyetoy but it picks up the game and chat sounds so echoes for all other users which can be annoying and will result in you being muted so they can’t hear what your saying anyway!

Finally the cheapskate way to re-create the P21 for late night gaming!
Get a wired PC headet which has a minijack headphone and a minijack mic lead. From about £10.
Then get a USB soundcard like this

You will probably also need a headphone extension cable which are about £5 from Maplin.
Then plug the mic into the adapter which goes into the PS3 usb slot. Plug the headphone into the TV headphone socket using the extension cable.
You will have to tell the PS3 that the chat is to go via the TV. The down side is that you can’t adjust the levels independently so during massive gunfights the team mates voices are masked by explosions!
The other issue is that because you are wearing heaphones to try and be quiet you end up talking and laughing louder because you can’t hear your own voice, then you wake up your wife and get told off for being up in the early hours…again

Thanks to halfpint fighter for the above

Also – you can get the official PS3 wireless headset for £25 or you can buy it with a bundle with the game SOCOM for £25 and then trade in the game to save a little bit of cash.

The official PS3 bluetooth headset comes with a cool docking station (and a really short lead!) and the benefit of the official headset is that you can see you battery life and status (mute/etc) on the screen – something ‘unofficial’ headsets can’t do.

You can buy it from Amazon Here –  Sony Wireless Headset (PS3)
