PS3 headphones
 
I got a PS3 for Crimbo, along with COD MW2 (yay!). Anyone have recommendations for headsets (or even anti-recommendations, to prevent me from buying a pup), so my wife doesn't get p*ssed off if I play once she's gone to bed? Ideally I'd like cordless ones. Thanks! :-)

i've got this one http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStatio...7Ccat:Hardware

But only cos it came with SOCOM online only version. Its quite good but hurts my ear after a couple of hours of use and i find i have to stick it in my other ear. No biggie really. Says it can also be paired to a mobile since its bluetooth but not tried that yet, tho i'm sure it'd work.
Dont forget tho only some of the sond comes out thru this, not everything so you still the the tv volume on to hear the gameplay. This is for chatting to other players, not sure if they all work that way or what tho.
hth.

I got this from my local HMV for a tenner.

Seems good enough quality to me. Oddly enough the headset on its own was more expensive than this bundle.

Anything with JBL on it is amazing headphone wise, I have a set for my ipod and would highly recomend them.

Personally, I like and have the Giotek EX-01 and will cost between £15-20 and like many can be used with your phone and other devices should you wish!!

Thanks Spidey. Looks pretty good, but I guess I got it totally wrong - I expected all sound to come out the headset, thus the current Mrs Woodman would be able to sleep soundly (the bedroom is almost above the TV)! maybe I'll just have to turn down the sound a bit as well.

I'll take a look - thanks. I'm no audiophile, so cheap is probably more than adequate for me! :-)

Ahh, I thought they made big diggers! :-)
Thanks - I'll look into them as well. I'd like to have good quality stuff, but if it works, that's probably fine.

Sharkoon Digital Headset

it may seem expensive at £105, but well worth the pennys that I saved up.

impressive Dolby Digital surrounds feel (4 mini speaker in each ear! front, centre, back and bass channels) with good detail and sound range (I can hear direction of gunfire/foot steps in cod) lots of control over each channel's volumn, inc mic level.

I watch films/play games on it and I can say it is as good or better then a £400 5.1 system setup! :thumleft:
