I just bought the Motorola H500 headset, its supposed to work with the PS3 but I've been having some problems with it. First,I canpair it with the system in the main PS3 screen,that's not a problem. I can then "connect tobluetooth device" and I can hear audio coming in through the head set, and I can also speak through it and it registers (I can see a colored bar move when im speaking depending on how loudI am, sorry I don't know how to better describe that.)

Here's where the problems start. When I pair it with the system it seems to interfere with the wireless controller. The first time I had this problem I was using the controller while it was still plugged into the system to set up the headset, but then as I unpluggedthe controller, itcouldn't connect to the PS3 (just kept blinking). To avoid this problem, I got the controller to work again, and THEN paired the head set. Both the controller and the head set worked fine while I was still on the PS3 main screen. I thought I had just fixed it but when I went and played Warhawk, I hit L3 to talk, and it was clear that no one could hear me, and that I couldn't hear them through my headset like I should.

Anyone know what the problem/solution is?

Return it and get the Motorola H700 if ya can. The H500 and H350 don't seem to like the PS3 much

Yea I have a buddy with the H500 and I picked up the H350 before switching to the H700. We had pretty much the same problems with ours.

I have the same problems with the h350. I bought it for my phone so I don't care so much that it doesn't work with my PS3, but if you read the manuals for online games, it states that some headsets are not compatible with the game. That's ok though, I just use my old Socom headset to talk to people.

if you have guitar hero, remove the dongle, also try changing the controller number. I had the same problem, but removing the GH dongle worked for me

I had nothing but problems with that mic, the one that comes with warhawk has been perfect since and is so much more comfortable.

I had the same problem with my Motorola H500. Then, I bought the Warhawk Package that came with the Jabra BT125, it works like a charm. No such issues. Get the Jabra BT125. I saw somewhere for only $25

Make sure the little mic symbol is beside your name at the top of the screen in Warhawk. If you don't see it there, turn on and off the mic.

Motorola H700 is a great mic, and cool looking too.

DO NOT BUY A MOTOROLA HEADSET OF ANY TYPE GUYS. Sorry for the caps but on a serious note Motorola's are garbage get a Plantronics Voyager 510 best headset mony can buy. Sound is crystal clear when talking. you no when it's done charging or when its on or off.

does the H500 work for COD4?! I got it to register to the main ps3 unit easily...but I don't know how to activate it for online COD4 play. Anyone know the specific steps to take?

It works for my razr, which is why i bought it...but I don't want to have to go buy another bt earpiece for online.
