How to Use a SOCOM Headset as a Microphone on a Laptop
SOCOM: Confrontation is a PS3-exclusive title that shipped with a SOCOM-branded Bluetooth headset. Although this headset is designed for use with the PlayStation 3 console, you can also use it with other Bluetooth devices such as cell phones and Bluetooth-enabled computers. If you have a laptop computer with Bluetooth capability (via either a transceiver or an adapter), you can use your SOCOM Bluetooth headset on your computer as a microphone.

Tips & Warnings
If you are experiencing problems with your Bluetooth headset, check your Bluetooth settings and try again. Certain adapters/transmitters have a cap on the number of Bluetooth devices that can be connected at one time. Try disconnecting some of your other Bluetooth devices and connecting again. Another problem could be the Bluetooth standard you are using. The SOCOM headset uses the 2.0 standard, so if your adapter/transceiver uses a different standard you will not be able to sync the two devices.
