How to Install a Rocketfish Gaming Bluetooth Headset for the PS3

The PlayStation 3 (PS3) supports voice chat via a USB or Bluetooth headset in most of its online games and chat application. Rocketfish produces a number of Bluetooth headsets, all of which are compatible with the PS3. The official Bluetooth mono headset for the PS3 works for as long as eight hours with a full charge and is rated for 160 hours in standby mode.
