Hi all, I'm after a cheap but reasonably decent bluetooth headset, if such a thing exists. I've seen the official one for £18 but that still seems a bit much, I don't play online much aside from BF1943 so it seems a bit silly to pay a lot for something that isn't going to get used.

Anyone had any experience with some cheap-ish ones they can recommend? Not asking for links or anything obviously, just some brands and model numbers. :)

Thanks a lot.
 
when i bought mine people told me not to get a cheap one so i got the offical one...

£18 for the offical one is cheap...

I think cheap ones are about £12 gio-tech or summit there called

You can however use an old phone bluetooth headset aswell !!!
 
For a half decent 'cheapo' phone headset expect to pay minimum £10. If you can get the official one for £18, jump at the chance - The quality is apparently unmatched by pretty much anything else.
 
Cheap = rubbish when it comes to bluetooth headsets. Get the official one, quality wise it outdoes my old bluetooth headset that set me back £25, shame it has the stupid PS logo on it or else it'd completely replace it as my hands free kit too.
 
I've got a Motorola H385, cost me £10 (down from £30 at a high street phone shop) which works really well; got a big range, connects easily and the sound is really clear. That said it was on a Christmas offer, so whether you would find it for less money now than you would the official headset I don't know.

The most success I have had has been with Nokia BT headsets. Motorola ones (2 I tried) have been crap. Sony Ericsson ones have been good as well.

I have the official one, but at a time I had access to free Nokia ones and they were more comfortable than the official one tbh and paired up etc normally.

If you have a Nokia or Sony Ericsson one you can get for cheap do that, they will be better for phone usage etc anyway as the PS3 one is a bit big, I find.

Which headset did you have before?

Thanks all. I'd love to get the official one but it's just a bit pricey, seems a waste considering it's just for Battlefield and so few other people have headsets anyway! Found a Logitech one for £13 but I'll look into some of the cheaper Nokia and Sony Ericsson ones too.

If it just for BF1943, I would not bother tbh. Even people with the official headsets cannot chat to each other at the best of times. I am sure some people said it is some sort of chat bug in the game. I have not done much research into it, but people on here have told me there is a problem with that games voice comms.

I've had a few difference bluetooths in the past, but recently bought the official one. I tell you the HQ sound is SOO much better. Definitely get the official one!
 
I can't tell you where as it's against the forum rules, but i have found it in a place that it's £21.48 inc p&p if that's any help.
 
A certain highstreet store is doing the following...

SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation with Official PS3 Bluetooth Headset £17.59.

This game with headset features in their 2 for £30 deal so you will get 2 x Socom with 2 x Official BT Headset for a grand total of £30, making each item £7.50. Sell off whatever you don't want :)

Haha, just came here to post this! Have reserved the last one left in the store just down the road from me so I'll jump in the car and grab it in a sec. Not sure what SOCOM is like but I can always sell it or trade it in if it's not that great.

Good job you didn't already purchase just the headset on it's own for £18ish then :)

SOCOM is an acquired taste imo, but this is the same method I used to get my BT headset "cheap" so can't grumble.
