Not as simple as it is made out to be
Got this the other day, paired straight away but if you have a wireless connection with your modem it will interfere with your connection to the PS network. Contacted the support people and they got back to me straight away as it appears this is a common problem. They told me how to change the settings on the PS3 and the modem to make it work,I did this (easy enough) but after a while it (headset) was still interfering with the wireless broadband singnal, so me thinks I will go for a usb headset instead. If your web connection is wired, no problem.

BEST HEADSET YET
I CAN'T AGREE WITH ANY OF THE POOR REVIEWS THAT THIS PIECE OF EQUIPMENT HAS GOTTEN HERE ON AMAZON. IN MY EXPERIENCE IT IS EASILY THE BEST EARPIECE I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE TO USE. VERY SIMPLE TO SET UP (AS LONG AS YOU CAN UNDERSTAND SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS!!) AND VERY COMFORTABLE TO WEAR ALSO (YOU WON'T NOTICE IT AFTER AN HOURS USE). I'VE NEVER HAD THE EXPERIENCE OF STATIC OR INTERFERENCE (UNLESS MORE THAN THE STATED DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE PS3 THAT IS RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER), OF COURSE I'VE HAD THE MINOR PROBLEM OF ALL CONNECTIONS THAT HEADSETS/EARPIECES SUFFER FROM TIME TO TIME WHICH IS THE ECHO AND SLIGHT BREAKUP BUT THAT JUST NEEDS A QUICK RESET. VOLUME IS EASY TO ADJUST ALSO, SO ALL IN ALL AT THIS PRICE IT'S THE BEST OUT THERE THAT I'M AWARE OF. I'VE USED THIS ON MANY GAMES INCLUDING CALL OF DUTY 5 AND IT'S NOT LET ME DOWN EVER DURING GAME PLAY. GOOD JOB GIOTECK

best headset i've used
Looks like a hit or miss product given the reviews however i have had seven headset over the years ranging from Nokia to Jawbone and do feel this is the most comfortable headset i have ever used, and not intrusive into my ear-hole with is a bonus after hours of gameplay.

Although I have experienced static from time to time i have found out this could be a isp issue with broadband bandwidth from other online users as this has happened with all my headsets. It could also be something to do with the constant firmware updates by Sony that do seem of late to change the sensitivity of my mic even if i use my £120 jawbone headset which is meant to be used by the US military! Other than the design which i like as it suits my gaming set up, I do think Jawbone wins hands down for detail.

The most amazing fact is though the price, at under £20 i wish i had brought this first as it would have saved me a lot of money over the last couple of years! Would recommend as a great buy and is now my most used headset especially online. It also seems to work better with the End War demo even than the Sony headset as i need to speak much more loudly to get my commands actioned which can be annoying (although this might be to do with me having an US import!).

Value for money
At this price it's a steal. The comfort is much better than my bluetooth headset which cost me 40 quid. On that subject, tried it with my iphone and it worked great. interference is there now and again, but I think you would get that with any bluetooth headset??? Pairing with the PS3 is a breeze and battery life hasn't been an issue
