How to Play Online Using PS3 Headsets

The PlayStation 3, unlike its predecessors that used infrared technology, utilizes Bluetooth for its wireless controllers. PS3 owners also can use this technology to link their Bluetooth headsets to their game consoles to make online gameplay even more interactive. By communicating with fellow players, you can form strategies, warn of incoming danger or just chat and make new friends. Setting up your Bluetooth headset to work with your PS3 is easy and can be completed in just a few simple steps.
