My son plays a lot of PS3, I don’t
He uses a headset so that he can play with his friends, but also has the game turned up loud so he can hear what is happening in the game – surely this cant be right! is there any way to get game and friend audio to both use his headset and return my home to peace and quiet?

Yeah, depending on the headset type he should be able to go into the audio settings and set all audio to go through the headset.

The headset is used purely for in game chat, the sounds effects of the game itself still go through the TV.
That said, I’m sure there are headsets available which will do both.
I think Turtle headsets are the one to go for*.

*i could be wrong!

Cheers, so it relies on him having an upmarket headset…… I’ll check later

Turtle beaches P11,Both audio and voice chat are through the headphones,Awesome bits of kit and I think I picked mine up for around £30 🙂

Geotek do a wireless headset with a built in mike for around £45 ish
Worth looking at.
