Default USB Headphone Support for the PS3
When will there be an update to allow audio output to USB headphones/headsets?? Currently only output to RCA/Optical/HDMI is allowed, but, unfortunately, most headsets/headphones are USB...

Don't hold your breath waiting for this one- I highly doubt Sony will be adding this to the audio out options. If you are wanting the game sounds via a headset it would be easier to get a set of normal headphones for whatever stereo system you are using.

We usually never hear what Sony has planned for future updates other than via rumors until just before they bring it out- they do a good job of keeping things on the down-low. Most times when you do hear things via the rumor mill you can dismiss them as wishful thinking.

The problem is that if you use a usb headset, you're screwed because you can't hear the audio from the game!...and if you use a bluetooth headset, you have to somehow put the headphones over the headset...it's just a MAJOR pain in the ass...

I do realize that and I do agree with you. However, you could still try one other option for talking online- the PlayStation Eye camera. The microphone on it is very good quality and will pick up your voice from a decent amount of distance. You could use that along with regular headphones while playing.
