I've been using my Jawbone bluetooth headset to get the in game chat going for BlOps and it's an added level of communication with my team that I like but was really wanting a way to get A2DP bluetooth working so I can do both in game chat and game audio/music through one A2DP headset. I understand that the PS3 doesn't support A2DP and doesn't have the chipset, which makes it impossible to work with a built-in option. What I was wondering is if there would be a way to either output my receiver to a A2DP receiver for game audio but also some how also get in game chat.

The only thing I can even think of that'd make this possible would be a A2DP stereo headset that can do two different simultaneous connections/audio streams at the same time and then combine them into the one headset so one can receive the game audio/music and the other can send and receive the chat audio and mic.

I'd personally recommend a solid headphone with a decent extension cable to your receiver and then just have a bluetooth mic for your input. The only way to do full bluetooth would be to have the mic connected to the PS3 and then a wireless headphone that comes off of your receiver (as the audio input), but that's a fairly pointless step, and you'd get better quality and better price just getting a headphone and extension cable.

I ended up buying the Turtle Beach wired ones made specifically for the PS3 so I can have proper chat and game audio controls.

So far they're great. I'll probably also buy the 5.1/7.1 add on down the road so I can better tell direction.
