Take A Look At Sony's Official Bluetooth Headset

On the PS2, Sony offered a headset with the purchase of SOCOM, help sweeten the deal. Seemed to work well, so no reason to go changing things, is there? So when SOCOM Confrontation is eventually released, it'll be released with this, Sony's official (and, for what it is, quite classy) bluetooth headset. Those with a yearning for the headset - but not for SOCOM's special blend of tactical squad combat - should know it's OK, you'll also be able to buy it separately. The dock's a considerate touch.

XBL Headset: My Hate / Hate Relationship

I never use my headset on XBL. Frankly, I have enough on my mind just trying to get my meaty hands to manipulate the controls properly let alone attempting to carry on any semblance of a conversation. And then the handful of times that I did use it I plain hated the experience. At best I had to listen to kids while they were talking smack [alert: 9 minutes of profanity-laced posturing] or just humming to themselves.

And at worse... well check out some of the links to listen to more examples of what has me leaving my headset in the box. I couldn't make it more than a couple of minutes into them and I already feel stupider.

Razer's New Gaming Keyboard

Razer showed off a new gaming keyboard and headset toay at the World Cyber Games 2007 Grand Finals in Seattle this week. The Lycosa has backlit keys, super-fast response times and a number of other gaming features while the Piranha supports stereo sound and features a noise-filtering microphone.

I'm not so sure about Razer. I've been using their DeathAdder mouse for awhile now and not only does it not seem that sensitive to me, it actually sometimes acts up. I also tested out their Barracuda sound card and headphones and both have major issues, so I've stopped using them. I'm starting to suspect that they make average products and just slap a neat name on it. What sort of experience have you had with their products?

360 Messenger Kit, Halo 3 Accessories Hit Next Week

The Limited Edition Halo 3 Wireless Controllers and Headset and the Xbox 360 Messenger Kit both hit on Sept. 4, Microsoft announced today.

The wireless controllers, which feature Covenant Brute and Master Chief art by Todd McFarlane, sell for $60 a pop. The Spartan green and gold wireless headset also sells for $60.

The Xbox 360 Messenger Kit includes a backlit Chatpad that pops on to the bottom of your controller and a special headset that attaches to it. The two sell for $30, which seems like a pretty great price to me.

Warhawk's Jabra Headset

Warhawk showed up on my doorstep yesterday, and while I didn't receive a fancy pleather journal with it, it did come with the Jabra headset and a little USB charger. The headset feels a bit on the cheap side, but I'm sure it will work out just fine for the game. Now to find time to actually play Warhawk.

Xbox 360 Wireless Headset Conflicts With Older Controllers?

This video illustrates an issue some Xbox 360 owners are experiencing when using their original Xbox 360 wireless controllers alongside the recently released wireless headset. Anyone out there in Kotakuland running into this problem? The official Xbox forums are rife with complaints about buggy behavior with the new accessory, but we're not sure how widespread this may be. Hopefully MS is working on a solution for those affected. More »

Wireless 360 Headset Fix

I haven't had a lot of time to really mess around with the Xbox 360 wireless headset since Microsoft sent it to me. I've just been too busy with the dual console launches. But last night I tried using it for Gears of War and it wouldn't work at all. More »

VoIP Headset for the DS

Well, this is rather nifty. At a recent retail product fair in Japan, Nintendo announced a VoIP headset for the DS and DS Lite. It's set to go on sale in Japan around September 14th. Price? Only about $10, surprisingly. It's designed to allow you to engage in more comfortable, lower volume smack talk with your Metroid Prime: Hunters or Pokemon buddies. More »

DIY: Xbox 360 Handsfree Headset

This is a very cool idea. Someone created their own wireless headset for the Xbox 360 using a Bluetooth adapter and Bluetooth headset. He just super glued a Jabra A210 Bluetooth adapter to the back of a controller and then plugged it in to the headset jack. The A210 adapter is a little transmitter designed to let you use Bluetooth headsets with phones that don't have Bluetooth. You just plug it in to any jack, turn it on and sync it up with a Bluetooth headset. More »

More Wireless PSP Headphones?

Family friend Gizmodo points at yet another pair of headphones for the PSP. What's up with all of these? First, we had the chatting headset and now the wireless headphones from Gizmodo. The Summit headphones (pictured) use an FM modulator to run the signal on an unused FM band.
