Ok so im new to the playstation 3 community and just got my system about a month ago. I waited until the release of socom and bought the bundle with the headset. well we all know how that game is performing, but i have overlooked its rocky start cuz i was a huge fan of socom 2. anyway ive had the game and headset for a week and i was just playing earlier using my headset and now recently signed back on and the headset doesnt work at all! i tried charging it and everything......nothing. the headset is broken and im extremely gentle with everything i own. its just been a really discouraging start. an online game only that is broken (although i am willing to wait until it works) and a disfuntional headset. HAS ANYONE ELSES HEADSET STOPPED WORKING FOR NO REASON?

When you hold the button down do you hear the chimes for it to turn on? have you tried plugging it in directly to the headset not the base? Does it light up when you charge it?

Did you go recheck if it was still activated it in the accessory menu?

Did you pair it with your PS3? If not USB is the best way to do it. Also go to "settings" on your XMB (cross media bar) scroll down to "Accessory Settings" then scroll down to "Audio Device Settings" and make sure your "Input/Output Device" is using "Wireless Headset".
