I HOPE this is in the right forum, but if not could a Moderator please move or delete it?
 
I want to use my headphones with my PS3 so I don't disturb other housemates due to late night gaming. Below is the particular pair I am using:

Now, the PS3 only supports bluetooth or USB headsets, and mine use the 3.5mm method. My question is, is there a kind of cable I can get with a 3.5mm jack on one end and a USB male connector on the other, so I can connect it to my PS3 and my headphones to the 3.5mm jack to make it compatible? Or does no such thing exist? If not, is there ANY WAY I can make this work? Or am I doomed to having to buy a USB or bluetooth headset?
 
I have tried searching Google and Monoprice.com, but I haven't been able to find anything. :/
 
If anybody out there could help me, I would MUCH appreciate it.

Unfortunately I don't know of anything that would let you use a headset with a mic, no...but I do know that Sony has a pair of wireless headphones they sell for them, I'm not sure if other wireless headphones would work too, but all wireless headsets that are any good tend to be really expensive.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3_accessories#Headsets  You can't get anything out of a USB headset except voice communication.
 
You don't have a receiver, or even a built-in headphone jack on your TV?  It'll probably be easier - and cheaper - to set something up this way anyway.  How exactly do you get sound out of your PS3 right now?  What equipment do you have available?
