    Default Best USB headset for PS3

    My Plantronics bluetooth headset is slowly dieing on me now and have to charge every couple of hours. Am looking for a replacement for it now and want a USB one so I don't have to fuck about with charging and batteries dieing etc.

    Anyone got one? Any suggestions?

    Have been looking at the Turtle Beach Ear Force P21's anyone know if these are any good?

    Its not (really) USB, but the official Sony headset is very good, and charges while it sits in a USB docking station.

    I have mine connected to my PC so its always charging when PC is on.

    Only good thing about buying SOCOMM really..........

    This pantronics headset has been fucking quality and cost me all of £7.50, just that it has been used so much the battery is dieing.

    Don't want another wireless headset too much hassle - have ordered the turtle beach ones so hopefully they should be good.

    Yeah I can understand that, the number of times Ive left mine out after a "late" session, and found it runs out the next time I go to use it.

    You do need to be "organised" and make sure you use the charger!

    Headphones that are easily compatible with Skype and other audio messaging services are becoming very popular as more and more people learn of the financial benefits of using the Internet to communicate. The Logitech ClearChat Pro USB Headset is designed specifically to work with Skype, Yahoo, Windows Live, and AOL Instant Messanger (AIM).
    Installing the ClearChat Pro USB on a Computer

    Installing the ClearChat Pro is as simple as plugging in a USB cable and putting the headset on. Windows and Mac systems both recognize and activate the ClearChat headphones without any additional software or downloading of files. The headset comes with a nice 8-foot-long USB cable. Luckily the cable itself is very sturdy and should be able to take moderate abuse or the occasional roll over from an office chair without any difficulty.
    Using the ClearChat Pro as a Gaming Headset

    Many popular online games now incorporate voice chat into their user interface. Rather than using a separate desktop microphone the ideal way to interact with such games is to have the microphone attached to the earpiece of the user's gaming headphones. Unlike many headset that use flexible microphone wires the Logitech ClearChat Pro mounts the microphone on a sturdy, solid plastic boom arm that swivels up when not in use. The microphone has a small red LED light that activates when the microphone is muted so that the user can easily notice and correct the problem.
    Controlling the microphone and earpiece volume on the ClearChat is simple and convenient. Most traditional volume controls on headphones are small and difficult to adjust in small increments. Logitech solved this problem by replacing the volume control with a large silver dollar sized rocker switch that is cleanly built into the right side earpiece.
    The controls are large and easy to use and also include an adjustment control to switch the headset between gaming, music and voice communication modes. The various modes adjust the earpiece and microphone settings for the best possible experience when performing any of these tasks.

    The Logitech ClearChat Pro: The Bottom Line

    Most users will benefit from the audio quality produced by the Logitech headphone's laser tuned audio drivers and clear sounding microphone output. Although the audio quality is top-notch, some users may find the headset slightly uncomfortable, especially those with large hat sizes.
    The ClearChat Pro USB is a thrifty yet elegant alternative for those in the market for a new set of computer headphones.

    I ended up sending the Turtlebeach ones back - loads of feedback unless they were on full volume, common problem apparently with the P21's. Got a set of the Logitechs and for £25 they are spot on.
