Pros: USB interface, great features for gamers, good performance
Cons: fragile, cords get tangled easily, some design issues, listening to 12 year olds online

Socom night is a tradition among me and some friends from college. We get together at one person’s house or apartment and hook up our P S2s and play the latest Socom game for hours. A week ago we had another Socom ...

Pros: An ingenious device for online gamers; durability; comfortable.
Cons: Price; mute button eliminates almost all sounds through the microphone.

Since the Playstation 2 has been able to be used online, there has been one game that started it all: SOCOM, need I say more? This game came available with a headset that allowed gamers to talk to the other opponents online. Since we all know that ...

Pros: Decent quality, quite comfortable, comes with 3 ear-pieces, works with PC (but didn't for me)
Cons: Feels cheap, no volume change, no mute, it will break on you

To get things started, I guess I should say what my experience is with headsets overall to give you an idea of what it is being compared to. The original SOCOM headset (it was packaged in SOCOM: US Navy SEALS) was my first. It actually lasted pretty ...

Pros: THE BEST WITH INTERNET ACCESS WITH PS2
Cons: bad without internet,FRAGILE AS HECK

I got Socom 2 for christmas so i said whats socom without a headset. So i went to buy one and got one. I got home and but it on and it was da bomb. It was extremely fun to talk to people while playing games. It gives the game a sense of realism wether ...

Pros: light weight inexpensive easy to use
Cons: wired sometimes it gets fuzzy do to internet connection

I have been playing ps2 online for a while and i saw an ad for a headset. I was not sure at first if it was worth buying because I do not know if it would work very well. but i bought one and have been using it ever since. This is very easy to use, just ...

Pros: Compatible w/ PC, PS2
Cons: Cheap, too cheap.

First, let me start off by saying that this product is extremely and I mean extremely fragile. It is made out of plastic and the wiring here? Horrible.

I can't count how many times I had to go buy a headset from either Best Buy or some other electronic store because of these wiring issues. It is so cheap, it will only last you about 3-4 months. For the price, it's definitely not worth it unless of course you don't use it very often and you can take EXTREMELY good care of it.

On a good note, you can hear clearly and you can speak to others without a problem. You simply plug the headset into your PS2 or a even a computer and your computer will automatically recognize it. You will be asked to install it which takes a few seconds and your ready to chat!

Be warned though, they break very easily.

Pros: clarity, mute button, volume control
Cons: price

i have had my headset for 2 years now with zero problems , and mine has volume control and mute. Doesnt seem any more fragile than any other usb headset i have had.

Pros: Great sound and the ability to talk to teammates online.
Cons: Plastic P.O.S.

these little things are very neat. You can hear your fellow online gamers clearly and they can hear you clearly. The only thing I do not like about it is the durability. The freakin' thing is made of plastic!!! I had to stay away from socom II for little while because I had to bring my grades up. People on Socom II will understand how addicting it is. But anyway, I did not use the mic very often and then it breaks. I take good care of my belongings and this thing just broke for no reason, I didn't even step on it or anything. I strongly believe this is a way for Sony to make money. Because you know if they make it very durable, less people will be buying new headsets. That means less money. I dont think Ill buy another headset until around 25 to Life or Socom III. I am so mad!!!! Im glad they dropped the price, it should be priced at 20 dollars instead of 25. That would be my 6th headset in one year.
