When using on PS3 is the earpiece loud to hear people chat? Most headsets aren't loud enough for me to hear people chat through the earpiece.

I have no problems with hearing people I drive a fork lift at times and can hear pretty good however I use it for my phone not for games hope this helps

Absolutely. I had the same issue with previous ear pieces, they're loud and clear even with My soundbar on moderately. My friend's also said I come in Crystal clear.

I use mine in a loud, industrial environment: it's quite loud! I imagine it'll work just fine for the PS3.

I use these for gaming and don't have a problem communicating, as far as hearing myself, depends on how loud the game is really. At around medium volume Id say yea, you can hear yourself decently well. I haven't really paid much attention to this in the past so Im kinda guessing, Ill try it out tonight with special attention to this and give you an update. And just to add, these are amazing for gaming!

I looked at your turtle beach head set and it looks to be the same type of headset with mic as the one I have. However, I cannot say whether it will work with a ps3 because I do not own one. You may want to look at the ps3 web site and see if they sell USB headsets which would be a clue that they might work. In addition for $4.50 with shipping included what have you got to lose? The price was one of the determining factors for my order. You may also want to look on YouTube and search for "mics for ps3". Best of luck, let us know if it worked for you.

Don't own a PS3 but my understanding is that the controller has Bluetooth but only for game chat. The game sound is separate. Unless PS supports a BT dongle of some type, I think no. I highly recommend the Turtle Beach wireless with Bluetooth model for gaming.

PS3 setup works perfectly on the PS4, the mic gain switch even works to make your mic louder!

Since I don't have a PS3, I took a look on the FAQ from Corsair website and found this:"USB headsets, other than Sony's official USB headset for the PS3, will only function as communication devices on the PS3. You'll be able to chat with other players, but you will not hear game audio."

My friends say the mic is a bit muffled but clearly understandable. I use them on Skype and TS both.

It depends on which headset you own. I have astro a40s and my wife has astro a50s, and both allow you to adjust the volume of chat and game. While the a50s have 2 different volume controls (1 for chat, 1 for game) the a40s have one overall volume knob, and a 2nd knob that lets you adjust what you hear. Turn it all the way left and you won't hear chat, all the way right and no game volume...you're free to adjust it to your liking. (I find that different games require different volume/chat levels)

It works great with my ps4 other than the fact that my kids got ahold of them. they spun the mic around so many times they broke the mute. I still love them though(the headset). When ive tried to hook them up to my xbox one i had to buy an xb1 mic connector thing. they are $20 or so. What you have to do is connect the chat pad to the controller. Then get a 3.5mm to 2.5mm cable and plug that from the chat pad to the headset. seems simple and no its not wireless anymore but i can live with that. The problem i am having is i can hear the game but i cant talk to my buddies. maybe im doing it wrong. i would suggest buying any headset that says it works with xb1.

Hi, Jose F. are you talking (play station 3?) if yes seems like a waste of money not that the headset is bad a little overkill?

You can use it as voice chat with the PS3. But it won't play game or movie sounds. Just voice chat. Only the official PS3 headsets play audio.

Yes, mine seemed to be doing a Lil extra to make it sounds clear. Since friends said the background was interfering with me telling to them, but they are always clear. Just the ear hook is uncomfortable and doesn't stay with head movement.I used mine mostly for phone, but Xbox is clear, sometimes too clear

I have a ps3, but I only plug the receiver/transmitter into the console, and the removable microphone into the headset. I don't ever have to plug the headset into the controller.

the headset comes with noise cancelling feature so people on the other end can't hear background noise. As far as you being able to hear over the background noise I agree with W Roberts. You may want to get a headset that has 2 full speakers.

There is a mic and it doesn't work really well with hearing though I can say that after using it for chat on Skype, Yahoo, Gmail, and on my mobile phone... That the quality of my voice is not very good. No matter how I hold the mic up to my mouth in any angle that I can, it doesn't change the quality besides being louder when my mouth is closer. The mic is attached to the wire, it isn't attached to the headpiece itself. As for listening quality though, it is worth it and has an amazing noise-reduction.

No..the headphones can only be used to communicate with other players. My son said that you can turn the volume down and still hear the game in the headphones but that is only with certain games.. in order to see if that game does that you have to look on the back of the game.. sorry.. my son said the only thing you can do is lower the volume

Not at all unless of course you're playing it extremely loudly. It all depends on the volume, but at the levels that are 'healthy' for your ear, it's inaudible to others. When I remove my earpieces, about 5cm away from ears and I can't hear them anymore.
