5.0 out of 5 stars Great headset!, June 24, 2008

By	Ronald J. Craft (Stuyvesant, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I just got this headset. It was impressive right from the start, as the packaging was really nice. The package has a black plastic lid on top with a latch. You flip up the latch, pull up on the plastic handle and lift it off. There's your usb cable on top. Pull two plastic tabs back, pull up on a tab in the center and the whole thing lifts out. No need to cut or tear anything! Off to a good start.

So, I take the headset out of the package and it looks just as nice as it does in the pictures. It's really something. I put it on and set it up with my PS3. Tested it out, played some metal gear online matches, etc.

So far, it's plenty loud, the sound is good and it's definitely comftorable. It doesn't sit in your ear at all, but the ear piece is larger (but very flat) so you get plenty of sound.

Overall, I'm very impressed with this headset and surprised there aren't more reviews.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stylish PS3 Headset, October 4, 2008

By	M. Glass - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This device is great and well worth the price.

First the packaging. Unlike most new devices or accessories I buy these days, this one came in a very simple to open package. It was not heat sealed in a thick plastic that seems to get sharper than the scissors you need to open it! For this all you had to do was remove two pieces of tape, lift two tabs and the main piece just slides right out. The earpiece is then secured with a twist tie that is very simply removed. This is a company that knows people actually like to use the things they buy!

Second is the included chargers. It does not use a standard USB connection to charge; however, they include a cable designed for plugging into a USB port. I use this PS3 Charge Station to charge my controllers and now my earpiece thanks to that cable.

Now the actual earpiece. It is very comfortable and sits well on the ear. The loop that goes around your ear is very soft and flexible.

As they say you will forget you are even wearing it. Or at least you would if it wasn't for the great sound quality. That little single speaker on the device is extremely clear. I have had no problems hearing people and no one has complained about being able to hear me.

This device allows for great communication while playing, so it does add another level of fun to gaming.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for PS3 - only "ok" for cell phone use, September 11, 2008

By	M. Larsen "diamond" (Vernon Hills, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This unit sits outside of your ear, which is nice for people who like that setup. It is also loud enough so that when it sits outside of your ear, you can still hear the sound well. Music comes across very well, although speech is just a touch on the muddy side, but since the PS3 converts it to IP and compresses it anyway, there's no real loss. The microphone is great, however. People commented that I sounded much clearer on my blackberry.

The unit is also VERY light. It weighs almost nothing, so wearing it all day is comfortable. The ear clip also goes almost all the way around the ear, so it stays on well even though it doesn't go into the ear.

The only reason it doesn't get five stars is that the speaker muddies up people's voices over a cell phone just a little bit compared to something like the Voyager. This is most likely due to the over-the-ear versus the in-the-ear design, so don't let it stop you from buying it. It is also a rather large earpiece, but it's so light that it isn't an issue, but if you're walking around with it, it won't exactly be hidden.

So if you want a very light, very inexpensive over-the-ear bluetooth headset, this is a great choice. The fact that is also works with the PS3 seamlessly is just a nice bonus.
