    Hi... I'm looking to buy myself a good Gaming Headset to use with my PS3.

    Wireless preferably, with a rechargeable battery. However, may look at ones with a cord if its long.

    Now, I can google stuff myself. And look at reviews. But I trust most of you guys and your judgement more than a complete stranger/marketing company. So if you own or have any good ones please let me know!

    P.S - I want one with a mic, so I can yell at people in Modern Warfare 2 :p

    Yeah I've heard turtle beach are fantastic... However, I thought they were Xbox?

    And those Logi ones look cool...

    Have either of you got first hand experience with them though?

    I'd like ones that are surround sound too.. So I can hear where the Enemy is sneaking up on me from...

    Any gamer saying go logitech isn't a gamer. Hope that helps :)

    Also don't go razer just cos of the brand name.

    Search gaming headset reviews, and see them. The one i linked is used by about 50-60% of competitive CSS players.

    Pro Tip: Switch to an Xbox.

    and then get turtle beach headsets
    i personally have no idea what makes people want to spend so much on headsets, but i hear all over the place that those are the best

    they make turtlebeaches for ps3.

    I love mine, although they're basic w/ no surround sound i can still tell where they're coming from.

    Those Astro gaming ones look cool :D

    Rise And Fall.. Pro tip... PS3 > 360 ;)

    Does anyone actually have their own experience with these headsets? (apart from those who stated they had...)

    EDIT:

    Thinking those look pretty good.. Reviews sound good too!
