My PS3 Headset Won't Work

The Playstation 3 is the first gaming console to come fully equipped with ready-to-use Bluetooth technology. Most gamers are familiar with headphones that are wired directly to the platform controller or directly to a USB port on the gaming system. Fortunately for PS3 users, the days of wired headsets are in the past! After obtaining an official Bluetooth headset, any PS3 user can quickly sync the headset with the system while allowing easy back-and-forth transfers to other devices, such as a cellular phone.
