Most USB headsets ive used on a PS3 work first time with no issue's just have to be set up in the XMB. I use a Skype one got it from a catalogue shop for £20 its works well and is comfortable, could get on with a BT headset it kept falling off my ear.

funny you should day that , there the ones I was looking at.

Anyone help witht he streaming of the music at all?

Ok got some of those 20 quid ones from catoglof shop , how do youu get them to work. Set accsesrioes to usb headset but still no joy. What does XMB stand for ??

Guess i'm missing something. Anyone care to shed some light thanks again in advance

It sounds to me like he has bought one of those headsets that also doubles as headphones (2 speakers).
