Lads, the young fella bought a headset for the ps3 Online but it turns out they are for a pc, they have a double jack sorta thing on them, is there a way I can buy a USB converter or something do he can use them on a ps3?
First and foremost, you need a non USB, stereo headset. You’ll also need a USB audio adapter. I bought mine from newegg.com for $7.99 (YBA SD-CM-UAUD USB Stereo Audio Adapter). I also purchased a 3.5mm Stereo Plug to Jack Extension Cable (Plug to Jack M/F Extension Cable) which you may or may not need depending on where your audio equipment is located. Plug the mic jack into the mic line in on the USB adapter. Then plug the USB adapter into the PS3. The adapter should light up indicating it’s receiving power. Now plug the headset audio out jack into your audio source. I plugged mine directly into the headphone jack on my LCD. At this point you’re connected. Now it’s just a matter of adjusting the mic settings for the PS3. To do this, navigate to “System Settings” on the XMB. Then select “Accessory Settings”, then “Audio Device Settings”. Here you’ll find the microphone level, input device, and output device. The input device should be the name of the USB adapter you’re using for your mic. The output device should be your home audio system, or whatever the headsets audio jack is plugged into. Now to test your mic, start speaking. You should hear yourself in the headset and see the line level indicator moving to the sound of your voice. Use this to adjust the microphone level accordingly. If you don’t hear anything make sure your mic isn’t muted. Once the level is adjusted you’re ready to play. Hope this helps got this off another site
Cheers mate hopefully that will work, haven't actually seen the headphones yet as I'm in work but I think the jack on the bottom of them has two jacks side by side of us know what I mean. That's what I got from him describing them over the phone.
