I recently bought the Datel Communicator Headset to talk to other players while playing online. I did what the directions told me to do on how to set up the headset (Accessory Settings.....) and changed the input. When i started playing Resistance:FOM and entered either a Team Deathmatch or Free-For-All lobby, I seldom hear 2 or 3 people talking, but when i talk nobody answers. Also, As soon as it leaves the lobby and the game starts I cant hear anyone talking. Id appreciate help on how to fix this problem.


P.S. Is the Datel Headset even worth it?

Where would you suggest purchasing a BlueTooth or should i wait until they come out with a headset liscensed by Sony?

So pretty much any BlueTooth headset will work?
And how would you set it up?
What games do you usually play online and are there always people talking throughout the game?
I know I've been kind of a pest asking all these questions, but could you just go throught the specifics on how to set it up and the how and when to use it.

Thanks so much!

I've seen lists on which headsets work better for the ps3 than others. Based on the list I saw, I decided to buy a "Motorola - Model H670". Here are two pics: http://www.daydeal.com/files/images5...osmic-blue.jpg

I bought it at Sharper Image because I had a gift card with them I needed to use up. I'm sure it's available in other stores though, you can check amazon.com, bestbuy.com, circuitcity.com, to find the best price.

The little silver switch in the picture turns the device on and off. Below the switch, a light will come on to tell you that it is on, but it will go off to conserve power. This headset comes with an AC-Wall charger, so it is easy to charge up, and holds the charge for I think 8 hours of continuous use.

Games like Resistance: Fall Of Man, let you use it while playing a Team Deathmatch. You can communicate with any else that has one on there (Although it appears that not many people have headsets quite yet for the PS3). Also, you can chat from the Cross-Media Bar with anyone on your friends list, outside of games.

As far as setup with your PS3 goes, for my particular headset, you simply turn on the ps3, go to audio device settings, and once on the right screen, you turn on your bluetooth headset. Wait for the headset to stop blinking with lights, and in audio device settings, it should show up as an available option - like "Motorola H670". Then you simply click on that, and say "OK", and it should be connected successfully with the console. It will show an audio level bar, and when you speak into the mic, you should see the audio bar move around to show that the mic is working just fine.

The setup procedure should be similar for most other headsets. I like my headset so far though, just wish more people had them, because I haven't really been able to chat with anyone in-game yet.

Hope that helps.

i cant open up the link for the pic.

Added alternate link for you. Both links work for me.
