RicaneliteReview: Motorola Motostart H350 Bluetooth Headset
Last weekend I purchase the Motostart H350 Bluetooth Headset so I could chat with other gamers on the Sony Playstation 3 console. Also I was just curious how the bluetooth headset worked on the PS3. Being that I was so use to Xbox Headset or using the USB Headset. I felt it will be a nice adventure. Now let me start off by saying it was some what easy to register and get working. Just head over to the Accessory Settings and Register the Bluetooth Headset and then put in the passcode which by default it is "0000" and there you go the Bluetooth Headset is good to go. If you wanted to test the Headset go to Audio Devices and talk into the mic of the headset and you will see the bar go up. Also you could adjust the volume right from the headset. Also the neat thing is there is no need for a battery on the headset. If the Headset is dieing you will start to hear beeps after ever few seconds. The blue LED light on the headset will start to light up as well. So all you have to do is get the charger and plug it into the wall and in about 2 hours you could start using it again for about 7 hours of talking time. Now I tested several games for the Playstation 3 through the headset. First title I tested it on was Resistance Fall of Man now this is were I started to get annoyed for some reason I could not hear anybody but I could hear them either in the Lobby or in game. Which was very annoying. So finally I figured it out on what to do. In Resistance you have to change your Squad to either Zulu, Tango and they had some other ones. Which I just found so crazy. But then I realize the reason why they set it up that was because when you are having more a 20 on 20 Team Deathmatch it could get crazy with people talking and screaming. So I that is the only thing I could figure why they have the option of you switching the squad to make it all crazy. Other than that everything worked fine the Headset sounded great. Heard my other teammates loud and clear. They also heard me loud and clear. So other than switching all the time through the squads it worked out fine.
The other two titles I played it on was Fight Night Round 3 and Call of Duty 3 and pretty much it was the same as I had with the Xbox Live. Pretty much it connected and you could hear your teammate or hear the person you will going to rumble on the ring with. So it worked fine on those as well.
Now my biggest problem with the Headset but I cannot put the hole blame on it is. When I play about 2-4 hours of online play. Then decided to turn off my console and come back in another 2 hours or the next day. At time the PS3 console will not pick up the Bluetooth Headset and either I will have to register it again or shut off the console and try it all over again. Which could get very annoying. I hope it is something that Sony could do with a update. Hopefully when Home is release it will improve as well, but other than that the headset has a great volume could hear my teammates loud and clear and they could hear me as well.
