    In reply to MW2 PS3 Combat Wireless Headset Review: Pain in Your Ear
    Really? I was actually going to pick this up.
    I'll pick up another official PS3 headset (I have one for my PS3 but I'm wanting a second headset to keep in my car).
    I thought this'd be just as comfortable as the PS3 one as phone ones dont sit right on my ear. #modernwarfare2combatwirelesshe...

    How's the official PS3 one? I've been meaning to get a mic for the PS3 for ages but i've heard mixed views on the official mic. #modernwarfare2combatwirelesshe...

    @VEX: I love it personally, had no problems, from setting it up, to using it for extensive periods of time.

    If your thinking of picking a headset up, go for the official. #modernwarfare2combatwirelesshe...

    Yeah I think I will, especially with MW2 out now and MAG coming early next year. Need to get tactical! :)

    Wow, I thought Luke was good at invoking unwarranted nerd rage, but it seems Brian doing a simple review does too.

    For those who dislike in-ear designs.
    I'd recommend the Logitech Vantage.
    Had it for about a year now,

    Loved:
    +it just loops round your head, no cramming it in your ear, and means you can fit some ear buds under it.
    +The boom swivels, so it fits most mouth sizes
    +Quite easy to use(pretty much just got one button rocker)
    +charges off mini-USB like the PS3 controllers do.

    Hated:
    -You can't wear this outside, ever. Not that bluetooth headsets ever looked okay in public anyway.
    -The button is a bit fiddly to turn on. you need to keep it dead centred. #modernwarfare2combatwirelesshe...

    wait wait wait... You wear TWO headphones simultaneously?? Awesome XD. I would've just turned on a normal speakered system if i really wanted to listen to music and talk on the mic. It's an incredible idea though :) #modernwarfare2combatwirelesshe...

    @TidalC: I've yet to get PS3 surround sound (poor student), so I sue headphones in an FPS so I can get some directionality ( TV speakers aren't much use for that) #modernwarfare2combatwirelesshe...

    and this just in: just because he insulted a third party accessory does not make him some sort of fanboy . that kind of agression is really uncalled for and reflects badly on the PSN userbase.

    He really should know better, Ps3 supports 99% of bluetooth headsets. But I've just pointed him out a great headset for folks who dislike the in -ear stuff. #modernwarfare2combatwirelesshe...

    @GollySeuss: I know eh, what a pussy.

    Somebody better inform him that gaming business is cutthroat. There is no time for "comfort," or "enjoyment." Those are words used by communists.

    Instead of ranting about quality, you should have bragged about how long it takes until your ear starts bleeding, and the fact that you didn't take it out, even when it bled.

    That would make you a real man. #modernwarfare2combatwirelesshe...

    Thankfully you can use whatever Bluetooth headset you want on the PS3, giving you really limitless possibilties. You can most likely even use the 360 headset if the cable is long enough as it recognizes my USB Logitech Headset.

    Find a good and comfortable Bluetooth headset you can wear for a few hours without discomfort and you'll be fine.

    The official ones are often cheaper produced headsets just tagged with Sony and other logos and officially endorsed by Sony but are not your limitations for communication on a PS3 by any means. #modernwarfare2combatwirelesshe...

    @Subject2Change: The official Sony ps3 bluetooth headset is actually surprisingly comfortable and extremely clear. I used to use another, more expensive one and not only did it cut in and out but it hurt my ears like a bitch. #modernwarfare2combatwirelesshe...

    Am I the only one that doesn't get the appeal of licensed peripherals? Or am I just not cool enough to get it? I don't really understand why I would want to have "Modern Warfare 2" plastered all over my devices...but hey that's just me. #modernwarfare2combatwirelesshe...

    @skaldicpoet9: Nope, you're definitely not the only one. Branded peripherals are pointless. You're paying a price premium for a logo of a game you probably will have forgotten about in 3 months.

    This thing, to me, looks pretty ugly. Very blocky. I prefer my more subtle BT headset, honestly. Clips to my collar and has an earbud headphone. I didn't pay a dime for it (got it for free from a sale on a website), so I can't complain about the quality. #modernwarfare2combatwirelesshe...
