Nice for the price. Works just fine and is an easy setup. I have not had any problems with it so far.

Madcatz: Great, but not Excellent

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 27, 2009

Having bought the Madcatz in June of '08 when I picked up the PS3 MGS4 bundle, I must say, the headset is better than I expected. I honestly am not sure what people are saying about bad battery life, I can keep it charged for a week or two at a time, then use it for a good solid 8-9 hours without worry, that's even a year later. Fully charging the bluetooth takes about 3-4 hours, tops on my Playstation 3, and when I'm using it, as said, it can hold the charge for 8-9 hours while in use, I've been surprised at how long it'll last during gameplay. And while not in use, as stated, it lasts a week or so before it needs a charge. Personally, I'm very satisfied with the headset, and it works like any bluetooth would.

The only reason it has a four star rating, instead of the 5 star I think it needs, is sound quality isn't always great, and it picks up sounds quite easily around the home, making it a tad annoying for those listening to me, though I haven't heard any major complaints on what's being picked up, it can pick up the TV despite sitting a good 10-15 feet away from it on a fairly medium volume. Unfortunately, the sound quality isn't all that amazing on the receiver end, making it sometimes hard to understand what others are saying, but not hard enough I don't love my bluetooth headset.

The setting up of the bluetooth when I got it was simple, it stays connected while on the other side of my apartment, at least a good 25 feet, though I haven't tested further distances, it gets a bit of static between two walls but I can still understand what others are saying, and the volume control is negligible, at best, as the differences aren't totally clear, so the highest and lowest settings don't seem much different if at all. Having had the product for a year now, there is only one problem I have with the headset: Entering it's second year of use, sometimes it won't warn you when the battery is dying, often you'll hear a series of beeps 2-3 minutes before it dies, randomly the beeps will not come, making the death of the battery a surprising affair.

Overall, I've never been a fan of Madcatz and their stuff, but their quality has increased to untold levels with their headset, it's comfortable for extended play, I hardly worry about battery level before play unless it's been a while since it's been plugged up, and it makes gaming cordless, so I can grab a snack or drink while respawning without removing and returning my headset to my head.

Would I recommend this to my friends and strangers? Yes. Would I guarantee the same experience of greatness I have? No. Unfortunately while my product was amazing, and I give it high marks, I can't guarantee everyone the same great experience. Nevertheless, if it were to break, I'd definitely buy an exact replacement. My faith in Madcatz is slowly restored with the bluetooth headset.

I'd like to add that I am an avid gamer, and this bluetooth works with ALL my games: Call of Duty 4, Call of Duty: World at War, Resistance, Resistance 2, Burnout Paradise, Red Faction: Guerrilla, Motorstorm, Metal Gear Online, every online game I own I can use this bluetooth with flawlessly. Connecting the bluetooth outside of a game is simple: head to the accessory settings, connect from the menu while the bluetooth is on. Contrary to what I've read, it works IN and OUT of the game as well, I can connect while loading the game, while in a lobby of a game, while playing a game, and yes, I have tested all my games multiple times. It works exactly as it should.

I'm not saying everyone else is a liar, or that they are anti-madcatz (though I admit I used to be), but sometimes people may have trouble where others do not. This is only my own review and opinion of the product, and while I disagree with many of the negative reviews, I for one vouch for this product, and I am neither a professional review, nor paid by Madcatz to review this, though if they wished to pay me for such reviews, I would be accepting of their money.

All in all, give it a chance, let the naysayers do their thing but keep informed, if you're going to buy it, make sure you can return it in case you are an unlucky consumer who seems to have a thousand problems. I might just be lucky, but I can safely say that even a year later, I'm not having issues and it works where others say it doesn't.

Not very good or reliable

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 26, 2012

Purchased this for online gaming, not very good, not sensitive enough for people to hear if you speak at a normal volume and it does not sit snug enough against your face so you have to constantly adjust it for people to hear you.

The overall feel is loose.The item just hangs from your ear. The speaker part does not connect snuggly with the earhole and sound is almost inaudible because of this. It irritating and not one of my better purchases

Finger weg!!!

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on January 12, 2008

Verified Purchase

Ich habe mir vor kurzem eine PS 3 gekauft. Sicher wollte ich auch gleich das passende Zubehör haben. Doch als ich dieses Headset bekam, war ich total entäuscht!
Billiger gehts wirklich nicht! Das Headset baumelt locker am Ohr, sodass man es bei einer schnellere Bewegung schnell verliert. Meine PS 3 erkennt zwar das Headset, aber ein spielen ist damit nicht möglich!
Lieber 50 € ausgeben, und dafür etwas Gutes in der Hand haben!

FINGER WEG DAVON !!!

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on May 27, 2009

Auf keinen Fall kaufen!!!
Das Produkt ist nichts weiter als ein teures Stück Müll. Man kann es nur verwenden, wenn man sich im Audiomenü befindet. Sobald man dieses verlässt um ins Spiel zu gelangen (was für ein absurder Gedanke) wird die Verbindung unterbrochen und man muss wieder ins Menü um zu connecten. Das das ganze somit völlig sinnfrei wird, ist klar.
Das headset ist also glatter Betrug und nicht für den Einsatz geeignet.
Abgesehen davon sitzt es schlecht am Ohr und hat zudem (im Audiomenü) eine miserable soundqualität.
Auf keinen Fall kaufen!!!
