The sound quality was poor. If you don't mind messing with your headset every round then this headset is for you. I returned it and got a Jabra instead.

Contrary to earlier reviews, it DOES work with CoD4. The problem that it has is connecting to the PS3 when a game is currently running. You need to connect it using the Audio Device Settings page on the PS3 before starting up the game. Not ideal, but it works. The problem is that if you disconnect during a game ("mute" functionality doesn't seem to work, so you have to disconnect and reconnect), you have to quit the game to start it back up again.

Additionally, there's too much feedback in the volume up/down buttons - the click is so loud that it triggers the mic every time.

Here's the reason it got the stars that it did -- it's comfortable, light, and the clarity is good. Not spectacular, but it definitely serves its purpose well.

That said, I just bought the Jabra JX10 for my phone, and it allows pairing to two different devices simultaneously. So I'll be using that from now on.

First off...I am a techie by trade....I could not get this headset to be recognized by my PS3. Poor product. Avoid this like the plague.... Too bad I can't rank this as ZERO stars.
