You can use any Bluetooth Headset (although some are more compatible than others) or you can use any USB Plug and Play Headset/Microphone. The type that install in Windows without any drivers (in simple terms). I think some people on this forum (and 1 person I know) use some Logitech ones, but I don't know the exact model number.

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.

Hi mate install a program called tveristy on your pc :) your ps3 can see it and you can assess all photos, videos, and music folders that you added :)

well as long as the usb headset doesnt require drivers, etc

bluetooth headset can be had for a tenner these days, decent ones too, from sony ericsson, etc

bluetooth headsets are wireless and small, but not very loud

usb headsets have a wire, can be big, but are louder

both have advantages and disadvantages, your better off with bluetooth, because all modern bluetooth headsets are compatible, whereas not all usb headsets are

I have sound via my receiver am I right in thinking I could get a usb microphone and plug that in and use that for voice but still have sound through my reciever?

Does the VIOP system on games have a push to talk feature? I mean people will be angry if all they can hear are my speakers
