3D Alpha USB Gaming Headset PS3 Compatibility Check

"3D Alpha" is a generic branding used by multiple manufacturers. I cannot confirm compatibility without the exact model number.

How to Identify Your Headset

  1. Check the box label or headband underside for model number (e.g., "HS-8100," "GM-220," "K-340").
  2. Search Amazon order history or receipt.
  3. Photo search: Google "3D Alpha headset" + your color/design.
  4. Manufacturer sites: Kotion Each, Bengoo, Runmus, ONIKUMA, NUBWO — common OEMs for this branding.

PS3 USB Headset Compatibility Rules

  • USB Audio Class 1.0/2.0: PS3 supports standard USB audio — most PC headsets work.
  • No Drivers Needed: Plug & play if compliant.
  • Settings Path: Settings → Accessory Settings → Audio Device Settings → Input/Output Device → Select headset.
  • Chat/Volume: Adjust "Microphone Level" and "Volume Control" in same menu.
