I have a Motorola H555 and use it with my PS3. Now I never really talk to people because I can barely find anybody who uses the bluetooth, or I cant understand them well. I was thinking of getting the Offical Sony Playstation 3 Headset. Is it worth it over my Motorola H555?

If you never use the current headset, then dont get a new one. You can test your headset by connecting it to yours or a friends phone and see how it works. Sometimes I cant understand people either, but thats just the way it is. I have the PSeye and I use that for chatting and I like it, since I dont have to use a headset at all, sound quality is awesome too.

Does the Eye work the same way as the bluetooth headset? Like say I was in a game of Battlefield 1943.....would it work good?

There's nothing wrong w/ you headset, and personally in my opinion the PS3 headset is crap... well not crap it's just a bad design (like most bluetooth). The problem is the mic is situated so that anything coming towards your face is also picked up by the mic. Guess what is coming directly towards your face?? your speakers!! Hence you either have to turn your mic down so low it won't pick up the speakers, or people won't understand you over the game noise. I also think there's something w/ the VOIP on PSN, but I don't really have any evidence towards that theory. It's just I've been w/ large groups on lan w/ usb headphones and still had problems understanding them.
