(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok,so I'm going to give myself the official PS3 wireless stereo headset for Christmas and need a little feedback from you guys. I understand Turtle Beaches,Astros, etc have better headsets. I just think the $100 price and being an official product makes this a good buy. I'm not asking for a review on the headset but actual feedback on MW3 soundwhoring :carling: . Here are my questions for owners of ANY Stereo gaming HEADSET Not a bluetooth or the Xbox Live mic lol.

1. Would you say the headset gives you a huge advantage?

2. Do you get more complaints(ie: camper, hacker etc) since if you hear a guy following you in a room you might turn and prone to kil him. I can imagine the 3 secs you waited to kill a guy YOU KNOW was coming turns into "oh you're waiting for people you camping asshole" lol.

3. Does chatting in game afect your ability to hear footstep, gunshot, reload, etc sounds significantly?

4. Would you say Dead Silence's silent footsteps is more useful or Sitrep Pro's 4 times louder footsteps? I'm not concerned with Sitrep's ability to see equipment nor Dead Silence Pro's no fall damage. Strictly your footsteps silent or enemy footsteps 4x louder?

Obviously the last question won't be as important if they patch the Sitrep Pro glitch. Dead Silence would be no brainer then since it'd be way easier.

Thanks guys. If you think Sound Whoring is cheap that's fine too but I get lots of kills now just hearing guys running or the sound of a silencer so I'm anxious to see how much easier that is to detect with headset.

I don't need a headset, I have surround sound. :fyea:

I have px5s but ill answer these as them i dont have a stereo headset

1. Would you say the headset gives you a huge advantage?
kind of depends really air support hinders it other than that u cant play without it i do horrible

2. Do you get more complaints(ie: camper, hacker etc) since if you hear a guy following you in a room you might turn and prone to kil him. I can imagine the 3 secs you waited to kill a guy YOU KNOW was coming turns into "oh you're waiting for people you camping asshole" lol.

i get hacker/ camper noob complaints daily. You soon just start accepting it

3. Does chatting in game afect your ability to hear footstep, gunshot, reload, etc sounds significantly?
most headsets you can turn down the chat and turn up game volume. With my px5s i am using the footstep preset

4. Would you say Dead Silence's silent footsteps is more useful or Sitrep Pro's 4 times louder footsteps? I'm not concerned with Sitrep's ability to see equipment nor Dead Silence Pro's no fall damage. Strictly your footsteps silent or enemy footsteps 4x. with my px5s i use dead silence because i hate hearing my own footsteps, But with standard stereo it may be wise to use sitrep

Obviously the last question won't be as important if they patch the Sitrep Pro glitch. Dead Silence would be no brainer then since it'd be way easier.

Thanks guys. If you think Sound Whoring is cheap that's fine too but I get lots of kills now just hearing guys running or the sound of a silencer so I'm anxious to see how much easier that is to detect with headset.

Don't buy the $50 ones then. My DPX21 work like a charm.

Obvious Astro fan boy is obvious

I'm getting these for christmas too.

My friends say that their amazing!

1. Major advantage, you will know when enemies are near you and which places to go to avoid being sandwiched (stuck between two enemies)

2. You always will, especially those that have assassin and blind eye, they believe they're hidden but that's where sound whoring comes in handy. I have host advantage in these games (I am one of the many few that are getting it now in this game, for some reason when I am host), so I hear a lot of "WTF how did he kill me before". People will always complain.

3. With sit rep pro, nope, dead silence then yes, depends if you are good at cancelling out these sort of noises. Dead silence does not work well when your team doesn't use dead silence aswell.

4. I used sit rep in mw2 well before I knew what its pro perk was, even before sit rep pro I would sound whore from my tv, I would notice metal foot steps etc. Dead silence is a good counter to sit rep, the no fall damage is pointless atm because you don't loose health in jumps that you should, there aren't that many high falls in the maps.

I personally use sit rep pro, I do not wish for them to balance out so that you can hear dead silence people, that would make dead silence pointless. If using sit rep you choose to hear louder footsteps, that is a gain in my opinion, having this major advantage must have a catch. I like this catch, otherwise then you will hear everyone and there is no surprise, it is a perfect counter.

If you use a perk, there should be a catch. Use hardline, you can't aim fast. Use quickdraw and SoH you have to be conservative and know when to pick up a new gun. For Assassin there is Recon, it may not be for any perk, but this accidental bug offers more strategy.

Thanks guys! I'd assume the sound is better than how it was in Black Ops? Thanks but you seem to always complain in generic COD player fashion. "All guns are overpowered,using Assassin is a bitch move. Everybody is a camping bitch. Every death you've ever had was from lag,camping, hit detection or did I mention camping,etc."

I just wanted headset feedback bro.

Your stupid, new TB has NO static what so ever.

I gave you MY opinion(which you asked for)about headsets, Headsets won't make you a better player. They are over-rated, as I said.

yeah I don't expect them to be the best out there. However, Sony is great at headsets and audio in general and I'd imagine less PS3 players use headsets so honestly any headset would give an advantage especially compared to my standard TV without surround sound. I have read reviews on the PS3 headset. Seems like it's good for the price but there are better. Good enough to start with though I think. It's easier to justify spending $100 for a headset but if I paid $250 or more for a headset I'd question my sanity.

Cool my point was just I know people will camp, rush,use Support like bitches imo but just needed headset feedback. I'm not a bad player thinking a headset will make me great. Think of it like a good player using an overpowered gun. Taking something good and trying to make it unfair :carling:

I have trittons atm and they are the best headset
