best headset for ps3

Trouble is that I sit more 5 or 6 metres from the TV so I don't think that a wired one would work too well for me. Will any bluetooth headset work, or is it certain ones? Will the range on it be big enough to cover me?

Bluetooth has a range of over 10M (minimum). You should be fine from your distance. Some bluetooth headsets are better than others, but as long as they use the Bluetooth 1.1 spec or above and support the Headset profile they should work with PS3, like phones results vary in practice. I would try any you already have for phones etc before buying a specific one. All you can do to test quality os set up a voice conversation with someone to see if it is OK or not.

My Socom and official headset arrived today. Anyone with me on their friends list want to help me try it out in XMB later, please.

Sure thing. I'd be interested in hearing what the quality is like. I'll pair my BT headset (wired one is at home).
 
The official Sony PS3 wireless bluetooth headset is released on 28/11 for £17.99. Same day as Resistance 2. Lovely jubbly. Although I will be miffed about all the Yankees getting three weeks head start.

OK, keep flashing an exclamation mark in top right hand corner and then says ended due to internet instability. I an see bars move in the audio settings menu so I think it works, will have to try in game later.

Sorry man. It's weird. I switch to the BT headset then we get internet issues. Surely it can't be my BT headset messing things up with my connection?

No probs, just saw your camera view, but could not hear voice before it cut off. I have not seen the exclamation mark that flashes in top left corner before, could be internet issues at either end maybe?

I will try R2 beta later as loads have headsets on there.

Edit: Picture (next to controller so you can judge size):

You want me to take it out of the charger and photo it close up? Or you want a picture of it in my ear? (Dunno if that would help you as all our ears are different!!)

I didnt think the official PS3 headset was out till the end of November?? Also, is it the one that supports "high quality" sound??

Can I use any USB headset with a mic with my PS3???
