USB Headset
Posted: January 29, 2010, 11:56 am
So,
After picking up MAG for the PS3 I am finally starting to get really tired of not having a headset for chat on my PS3. Well, I have one but you can't mute it which makes it pretty much worthless for me.
I was looking at bluetooth so that I could use it for my cell phone as well, but I would also like to be able to use it for when I'm watching movies, and I think that's more important than the cell phone part.
Here's what I'm looking for:
-Over the head style
-USB, they can be wireless, as long as they have a USB connector that can charge while in use.
-Good sound quality. I'm not looking for a OMFG THIS IS THE BEST SOUND EVAR, but I want it to be decent if I'm watching a movie.
-Long cord. The few I've found seem to have about a 6' cord, which is too short. Not sure why you would make anything with a cord that short, tbh. I would want the cord to be at least 10'.
-Needs a mic as well as I intend on it's primary use being for chat as described above.
Now I realize I'm being a bit picky so I'm not expecting to find something for 20 dollars, but I'd rather not spend 300 on a headset either. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I'm having trouble finding something that has been reviewed well and fits what I'm looking for.
Edit: Also, if I'm better off just buying a bluetooth for gaming and getting a separate corded stereo USB headset with no mic for watching movies - I'm open that that suggestion.. I'd just like to combine the two if possible.
