How to Configure PS3 Headphones

Whether you're playing a video game late at night, watching a Blu-ray DVD, using Netflix, or taking advantage of other Sony PS3 capabilities, using headphones with your PS3 will bring you closer to the action without waking up the neighbors. The current PS3 consoles don't have a direct solution for most headphones, however. Most wired headphones and earbuds use a 1/8-inch audio jack, and the PS3 doesn't have a 1/8-inch audio-out jack.
