Headset configuration for Socom: Confrontation?
December 2, 2008 7:00 PM
Looking for headphones (and/or configuration ideas) for PS3 (Socom: Confrontation, specifically) that will allow me to both listen to audio AND chat with other players
I find myself stuck between two options while playing Socom:
1) Use a headset or bluetooth to communicate with other players, while game sound plays out through the TV to the annoyance of my neighbors (paper thin walls, what can I say?).
or
2) Wearing headphones to blast the audio from the game, but not able to also wear a headset to chat at the same time (for obvious reasons).
I'd like to think there's a viable option out there, a stereo headset with microphone that can easily handle both... any suggestions?

My first bit of advice would be to not play SOCOM: Confrontation, because I loathed that game. But if there's no stopping you, I'll tell you what I did to not bother my wife while playing World of Warcraft.
You get a very slim earpiece for chatting, and a large, over-ear set of headphones for sound, and you wear both.
If you find a unit that does both at the same time, do that. But if you have to double-stuff, I found it works pretty well. (But keep in mind I was using a Sony telephone earpiece that is really thin. It also has a long, flexible boom mic that reaches clear of the headphones.)
Now, you'll only have to apologize to your neighbors every time you scream "Why do I need two different zoom buttons? Switch to the damn grenades already!!!"
