The Playstation 3 is capable of using almost any USB or Bluetooth headset, although there are three official Sony headsets.
BLUETOOTH HEADSET
The official Bluetooth headset was first launched with the Blu-ray version of SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation. It was released in October of 2008 in Japan and North America, and in March of 2009 in other regions. It comes with a charging cradle that connects to the PS3 via a USB cable, similar to most other accessories. In November of 2010, a newer version of the Bluetooth headset was announced, which was 30% smaller and featured stronger noise cancelling technology; all other features are the same.
It features high-quality voice chat, volume control, battery level, charging status and connection status indicators. When used with the charging cradle, the headset can be used as a microphone. The headset is also compatible with the PSP Go, as well as PCs that can use Bluetooth.
