How to Test a Headset on PS3

The PlayStation 3, more commonly referred to as the PS3, has a free online gaming service called the PlayStation Network where users can compete against other PS3 owners. One popular staple of PS3 online gaming is the ability to use headsets to communicate with your teammates. In fact, the PS3 is compatible with almost any Bluetooth headset.
