Dose it take long ps3 to scan a headset - Video Game Consoles & Games

*NB: it will ONLY work for communications, NOT for game audio. (lame az, I know!)

1. hold in the headset's power-on button until it flashes red/blue for pairing.
2. Next make the ps3 scan: settings> accessories settings> manage bluetooth devices> register device (yes)> scan and add. (probably passkey 0000)
   

How to connect any Bluetooth headset to your PS3

Your headsets may not be compatible, you may need a "modern" headset.....

The power button is not the right button to press.

Here is the steps I take:

1. Power on the headset
2. Have PS3 scan for new devices
3. Hit the tiny button that is next to the volume buttons on the top of the headset.
4. PS3 should recognize "8860" and ask for a passkey which is "0000" by default
5. Paired and ready to go

you should update it

Make sure that your blue tooth is in pairing mode when the sysytem is scanning.(refer to blue tooth headset manual for intrustions)
I hope i have helped and I hope it works!!

Ok people, here is how it is done- Turn off your bluetooth. When it is off, press and hold the main button (power button) until it flashes(keep holding even after it flashes). The light on the device should turn solid blue (instead of flashing) now you can let go of the power button. My device was picked up immediately... after 2 hours of trying to figure it out of course, lol. Hope it works for y'all!

~Live long and prosper ;)

my sony wireless headset wont register please help

forget pass key for madcatz

You need to "pair" the headset to the PS3. Follow the instructions for your headset (usually holding down the power button until you get a SOLID blue light) then go to Settings>Accesory Settings>Register BlueTooth Device>Scan. When you're done, you need to set your input device to your Headset model #, which should now appear.

I had the same problem trying to connect my old Jabra BT125 headset to my brothers PS3, here's what worked for me:

-Turn on the headset by holding down the button but keeping it down until a solid light comes on.

This puts the headset into discovery mode, you can the start scanning for the device and it should find it.
