That just looks cool. Even though I'm a huge MGS fan, I'd totally take that logo off.

@meadows
Being bundled with MGS would eliminate that problem.

60 bucks! No way, it's nice but I already have 2 and one of them is the Jabra that came with Warhawk, in the end I do not use them, I rather use the eye, much more comfortable.

+1... The Eye works the best for all voice chatting needs, my Jabra collects dust.

I tried using my BT headset with my phone, but it's uncomfortable, and I gotta recharge every hour. So I switched to the EyeToy, hanging the base off my shirt pocket. Then I switched to PSEye. They worked fine, but the cables were kinda short. After buying Rock Band I started using that mic instead, mounted on a boom mic stand.
They all worked good and sound very clear, but I miss having the voice and game sounds separated because it can be hard to hear people sometimes. So I snagged a little $5 adapter off the internet which converts old-school 1/8" headsets (of which I have several lying around) to USB. Best $5 I ever spent. Now I have a choice of a huge variety of headsets made for phones, cellphones, PC gaming, etc. that work great.

"BT headset with my phone"
I meant to say "...that CAME with my phone" (bought Warhawk off PSN)

@ never$$hort: Amen to that
@ Lars: What you did in the end was actually one of the things I wanted to do before, but the eye suits me just fine, when I put a speaker to near of my ear I end up with earache.

The headset looks a little uncomforatble for me. As a general rule for headsets, I find the stupider looking you are wearing it, the more comfortable it is!

Err.. sematics I guess, but wouldn't that be an "earpiece", not a "headset"?

Though technically it does attach to your ear and not your head, "earpiece" is generally used to refer to a device that allows you to listen only.

When you get elsuive stuff liek this you alwats pay a preium for it. That is how it works. I'm sure the headset would be 20 dollars cheaper without the MGS logo.
