1. CompatibilityThe PS3 supports only one headset at a time. Multiple players on the same console will have to share. Bluetooth:
The
PS3 uses Bluetooth version 2.0, and is compatible with all earlier
versions (1.0, 1.1, 1.2). 2009 may see version 2.1 Bluetooth headsets
hit the market, so you will have to try it for yourself on PS3.
All brands of Bluetooth headset should work with the PS3.
USB: USB (wired) Headsets can also be used with the PS3.
Any of the PS2 compatible USB headsets should work with PS3 games.
USB headsets are required for PS2 software used on the PS3.
Not Compatible with Bluetooth Stereo Headphones:
The
Bluetooth audio signal for PS3 only carries voice chat. The game sounds
and music are played through your TV or stereo receiver only.
If you want to listen to the gameplay with headphones then they will have to be compatible with your TV or stereo receiver.
2. Setup A Bluetooth headset has to be registered, or "paired", with your PS3 before it can be used.
Make sure your Bluetooth headset is fully charged before you begin.
Check
your headset instructions for entering "pairing mode". Activate your
headsets' "pairing mode" so it can be recognized by the PS3.
On
the Cross Media Bar (or XMB) of the PS3 go to the "Settings" tab, then
down into "Accessory Settings", then down into "Manage Bluetooth
Devices".
With your headset in pairing
mode, follow the onscreen instructions and let the PS3 scan for your
headset. When your headset is found, follow the prompts and enter a
pass key (if necessary- the default is usually 0000 for all brands).
The pairing should now be complete.
If
you're using a USB (wired) headset, just plug it into one of the ports
on the front of the PS3 (the system should auto-detect the USB headset).
Mic Test and Volume Setting After
pairing a Bluetooth headset, or after plugging in a USB (wired)
headset, return to the XMB. Go to "Accessory Settings" and choose
"Audio Device Settings". You can test your headset here.
Your
headset should appear as the audio input/output device. If not, just
use the D-pad to highlight the Input line, then scroll until you see
yours. Any microphone you have used with your PS3 will be listed, but
only the current one will be available to select.
Set the "Microphone Level" to 3. You can change the level any time if needed.
Speak into the headset, and the level bar at the top of the screen should move at the sound of your voice.
You can also view a list of Bluetooth accessories you have registered in the "Manage Bluetooth Devices" tab under "Settings". If your mic doesn't appear there then try pairing it again.
There are more ways to configure the audio input and output that can be useful:
Set
the input to (your mic) and leave the output on (default)- one person
can chat with the other players, and the replys will play over your TV
speakers rather than into your mic. Great when sharing one console
because everyone can hear the team talk.
Set
the input and output to (default)- you will hear the game sound and
voice chat through your TV speakers but won't be able to talk back.
Great if you don't have a headset, or if you want the room to hear the
team chat.
Set the output to (default)
to use stereo headphones with your TV or receiver. Then set the input
to (your mic) and you can chat while wearing stereo headphones. Keeping
the mic close to your face could be a problem since both ears are
already taken! You could try a USB desktop mic and see if that works.

when I put my ps3 on it comes on and starts to flash orange and then it gose of and ,makes a sound that it cant start and starts to flash red.plz help someone!!
This usually means that your ps3 controller is no longer paired to your ps3, to re-pair them attach the controller to the ps3 using the usb cable, then press the ps button again when the ps3 is on.
If you have it linked to a cell phone and are adding a 2nd device you have to turn off your cell phone in order for the bluetooth to try pairing to any other device.
hey there!!! i have the same phone (and for sometime, the same probs) so,ok...
prob1 - go through the windows tab >multimedia>pics and videos and wen u see the pic or music file u want to send, click it >go through menu> send via Bluetooth.
prob2 -even i have the same prob, no idea how to fix this! :)
prob3 - just attach your usb cable to ur mobile and the pc - it connects instantly cos the driver is already in your device, it doesnt need an installer cd.
prob4 -even i need help with this prob!
hope u understood my instructions!!! good luck!!!
On your ps3, go to accessory settings, then sound settings.
Make sure the output device is the same as the input device, ie. your headset. Hope i helped :)
....My madcatz bluetooth will not charge everytime i plug it in the ps3 the red light comes on then it goes off and it keeps on doing it and its a brand new bluetooth...i hold it for a long time and it still wont work..HELP PLEASE!!!!!!1
You need to have paired the headset. With the headset there should be instructions on how to pair it with the ps3. If not go to settings-> accessory settings-> manage bluetooth device->turn on the headset-> press scan-> and finally press the pair button(do not hold down). Finally choose the type of headset you have and enter the pass key. enjoy.
You need to "pair" the headset to the PS3. Follow the instructions for your headset (usually holding down the power button until you get a SOLID blue light) then go to Settings>Accesory Settings>Register BlueTooth Device>Scan. When you're done, you need to set your input device to your Headset model #, which should now appear.
