Any bluetooth headset will work. So basically you can get one at any electronics store.

you can also get any usb mic. Be forewarned ... the vast majority have 6 foot long cables. If you sit further than that you may have to buy a usb extension cable, which I could only find for the ridiculous price of 25$.

If you are planning on picking up Socom when it comes out it will ship with a blutooth headset as well. Just a heads up.

i was able to use the bluetooth headset that came with my BB for about 2 days. Then I couldn't get the PS3 to recognize it. So since then, i have just used my wired usb version. its just some fairly cheap logitech set that works decent. the problem is that the game randomly loses good mic status. but really any usb or bluetooth set will work.

i was certain monoprice would have been the way to go, but I needed the extension right away. I weighed the options and decided I'd rather spend the extra $20 than wait the 9 days that it usually takes my monoprice orders to arrive.
