My headset recently broke, and i'm just looking for a temporary mic until i get a new headset. I have an iphone that when connected to the ps3 shows up as an input device however no audio will come through to the ps3 for some reason. I'm guessing it's because the PS3 doesn't have the drivers to support it or something?

Well, does anyone know of a way I can get my iphone to work as a mic on the PS3 better yet use my apple headphones which have a mic only for chat? Like you know at mlg how they have a headset and then earpods and then a mic? It would be nice to have a headset that plays game volume and then earpods that have chat.

Thanks for the help in advance!

Your iphone cannot be used as a microphone, a lot of devices recognize it as a headset but infact it can't be used as one. Your headphones with the mic will only work if they can be used by USB or Blutooth.
