Customer Ratings & Reviews

As a dedicated gamer, I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Sony Pulse 3D Wireless Gaming Headset in its striking white iteration designed specifically for the PlayStation 5. Having heard rave reviews about its immersive audio and sleek design, I eagerly put it to the test to see if it lived up to the hype. Design and Comfort: Sony's commitment to aesthetics is immediately evident in the Pulse 3D's design. The white color complements the PS5's sleek exterior, creating a visually cohesive gaming setup. The headset itself is lightweight yet robust, featuring plush ear cushions that provide a comfortable fit during long gaming sessions. The adjustable headband ensures a secure fit for a variety of head sizes. Audio Performance: The standout feature of the Pulse 3D is undoubtedly its audio performance. The headset utilizes Sony's Tempest 3D AudioTech, creating a three-dimensional soundscape that elevates the gaming experience to new heights. From the subtle rustle of leaves to the thunderous roar of explosions, the headset delivers rich, detailed audio that enhances immersion and situational awareness. The spatial audio is particularly impressive, allowing me to pinpoint the direction of in-game sounds with remarkable accuracy. Wireless Connectivity: The wireless capabilities of the Pulse 3D are seamless. Setting it up with the PS5 is a breeze, and the low-latency connection ensures that there's no noticeable delay between in-game actions and corresponding audio cues. The convenience of being wire-free adds to the overall comfort and freedom of movement during intense gaming sessions. Battery Life: The headset boasts an impressive battery life, providing ample playtime on a single charge. For those who prefer longer gaming sessions without interruptions, the extended battery life is a welcome feature. The USB Type-C charging port adds a modern touch, and the quick charging feature ensures that you can get back into the game swiftly. Microphone Quality: Communication is key in multiplayer gaming, and the Pulse 3D's built-in microphone performs admirably. Clear voice capture and effective noise cancellation ensure that your teammates hear you loud and clear, contributing to a seamless online gaming experience. Conclusion: In conclusion, the Sony Pulse 3D Wireless Gaming Headset in its white iteration is a stellar companion for any PlayStation 5 enthusiast. Its stylish design, exceptional audio quality, and wireless convenience make it a must-have accessory for those seeking a top-notch gaming experience. While it comes with a premium price tag, the combination of comfort, audio fidelity, and aesthetic appeal justifies the investment for serious gamers looking to elevate their gameplay. The Sony Pulse 3D stands as a testament to the brand's commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology and immersive gaming experiences.

Absolutely incredible in comfort, sound, and ease of use. For games, general use/browsing and movies on the playstation 5, I think this headset is a winner in all fronts, just wish it would be a little louder. That being said, I’ve seen reviews stating that this headsets will not provide the best listening experience for music, but I have to disagree. The 3D audio engineering from the software gives songs a whole new perspective that is making these my main driver for listening to albums, even though I own a pair of Audio Technica’s for music recording purposes. An absolute steal as long as you get them for the listing price.

Sound is excellent and very precise. I use this for PS4 & ps5 console. I use for video watching and game playing. Sound is great, headphones are comfortable for few hours of use. Initial wear can be a bit bearing on the ears, however, if you use them every day for several hours, you won’t notice it at all. If you use them a few times a week, won’t notice anything besides awesome sound quality. Impressive for 100$. Very user friendly. Lots of functions. Can adjust ingame peer 2 peer chat vs ingame environmental sound effects. For the price they are awesome and light weight. Will not be choosing any other brand than pulse 3D by Sony. 5*

These are a good pair of gaming headphones. They are at their best if being used with a PS5 which is what they are specifically designed to interact with. While they will acquit themselves nicely on a PS4 or PC - you're not getting all the bells, whistles and general functionality you will with a PS5. After a couple of weeks - here is my take: 1. These are gaming headphones first and foremost. If you're looking for something for more general use, I'd recommend looking into a bluetooth enabled, noise cancelling set of which there are plenty on the market. 2. The sound truly is great. These are designed to take advantage of Sony's propriety Tempest 3D sound engine and they do a great job of that. You will hear things around, above and below you. It's not as good as a proper 5.1 / 7.1 surround sound system but show me a pair of headphones that is. CAVEAT - Any good pair of headphones will support the PS5s 3D audio. I compared these with my Sony 1000XM4s (which I love). I would say that while the 3D audio on the Pulse3D is noticeably better it is not significant enough to justify the purchase if you already have a good, quality gaming headset. 3. They are WIRELESS - not bluetooth enabled - because the PS5 does not support native bluetooth. While this is BAFFLING in 2021 - the fact remains you have to plug a dongle into your PS5 in order for these to be wireless. They seem to work just as well plugged directly into the PS5 controller via the included 3.5mm audio cable. You can allegedly use them on your PC as well with the dongle although I have not tried that. Thus - you can't connect these to your bluetooth enabled cell phone, tablet, sound bar, TV, etc. 4. They provide a degree of passive noise cancellation but not to the level you would get out of the 1000XM4 or Bose. Again -if you're looking for noise cancelling headphones - this probably isn't what you want. 5. For me - they're very comfortable. They sit on top of your ears without crushing them. I wear them for extended gaming sessions with no problems. OVERALL - This is an excellent headset for gaming. If you're in the market for a new gaming headset - this is one to consider. At $100, it's on par with Hyper-X in terms of sound quality and performance. If you have a PS5, you'll get more out of it than you would using it on a PC or other gaming system. If you already have a high quality gaming headset or even a good set of noise cancelling headphones, you can probably wait on these until you're in the market.

Build: Sleek, unique design; comfortable; durable. There is no mechanism to adjust the headset to your head, it's designed in a way where it simply conforms to your head shape and for most of us, that works just fine. I take great care of my things, so durability isn't a main concern for me; nevertheless, the Pulse feels just fine and I have no worry that it'll break or snap. Audio / Mic Quality: The audio was pretty solid across the few games that I tested (CoD: BO-CW, BFV, and a few other non-FPS games). I did not feel like anything was lacking or that any element was overpowering; simply well-balanced overall. The mic, on the other hand, does not match up the audio quality as it leaves the user wanting more crispness/less muffling. This was true in my own personal experience but also according to many reviews I've read. Features & Miscellaneous: Perhaps a minor but desired change is that I wish the power button was isolated and located on the opposite side from the rest of the functions for ease of access/convenience factor. On a positive note, the on-screen indicator of things such as battery life is welcomed and, as far as I've come to know, is unique to this headset as it is a first party product. I should note that I had also managed to acquire the Arctis 7 (not the 7P) during this time and therefore compared it side by side with the Pulse 3D for a fairly extensive period of time. While that is a great headset as well, with a slight advantage in comfortability and probably a superior mic, I was content enough with the Pulse 3D (especially at the price that I got it for in the end - see below for details). For anybody who is on the border of deciding between the two products (Pulse 3D and 7 / 7P models), ultimately I feel that the extra $50 is warranted, if you are adamant about gaining the extra comfortability and better mic quality, mainly. Aside from the review of the actual product, I have this to share as a precaution to anybody else who may wind up in the same scenario as myself: I was fortunate enough to find the Pulse 3D as an open-box at Best Buy for $79.99 in January 2021. It was rated as being in "excellent" condition, which is exactly what I would expect since this is such a new product. And it indeed was in excellent shape, except for the fact that the dongle was missing. Upon returning to the store and bringing the issue to the attention of the supervisor, the best he was able to do for me was offer a refund of $10. I explained that this product was very hard to find new, let alone open-box (which was a great deal at $79.99 for something that is practically new) and that I was not willing to let go of it because of their fault. I had to remind him that it's his staff's duty (and the company altogether) to ensure that returned items are inspected carefully before being resold. Yes, I was not obligated to keep the headset at this point, but it was also sold to me with a false claim that explicitly stated as having "no missing parts". I always rest on principle, and on this they failed, at least initially. Considering the inconvenience I was now facing as a customer to have to revisit the store for a measly $10 refund AND without being offered a more satisfying solution (such as Best Buy attempting to obtain a dongle for me from Sony directly - to be fair, I'm unsure if that's even a viable option, but you get my point), I was going to make sure I wasn't going to remain in a lousy predicament after having invested time, energy and money into this company and their problem. This particular store location was not my home location, mind you; I had better faith in the one I regularly visit. So, I visited my own town's store and spoke to the supervisor there. I explained everything concisely and effectively and I could just tell that she was understanding the issue fairly each step of the way. She expressed how even she's had similar experiences and by the next moment, she offered me a $25 refund/gift card which was appreciated and satisfying at this point. This was in addition to the $10 that was previously refunded to me at the original store. As a final note, when testing the Pulse 3D, I did have the dongle in my possession by this time and therefore used and continue to use it wirelessly, as it was intended. I obtained the dongle by own means and Best Buy never played a part in assisting me with that, just that they refunded me a total of $35 (from two separate encounters) for the missing part which I believe was the least that they can do and in the end I was appreciative of the manager who did in fact help me out. I don't take these faults lightly from corporations and I believe that they are obligated to to go above and beyond in such instances where they fail to meet a certain standard and/or the REASONABLE expectations of their paying customers.

For the games thaf have 3D audio, this headset is fantastic! Its lightweight, the sound is good quality, and its easy to charge and toggle and control settings. I also have this problem with headphones where theyll make my ears hot. Nonexistant with this headset. I stay cool as a cucumber.

The Sony PULSE 3D Wireless Gaming Headset in Gray Camouflage is an absolute game-changer! The audio quality is phenomenal, providing an immersive experience like no other. It's comfortable for long gaming sessions, and the wireless freedom is a game-saver. Plus, it's compatible with PS5, PS4, and PC. Worth every penny!

I recently gifted these headphones, to my son, and the joy it has brought to his gaming experience is beyond expectations. This headset not only delivers exceptional audio quality but also boasts impressive soundproofing capabilities that elevate the immersive nature of gaming. The 3D audio technology creates a rich and spatial sound environment that enhances gameplay to a whole new level. From the subtle rustle of leaves to the thunderous roar of explosions, the headset provides an audio experience that adds depth and realism to every gaming session. My son has raved about the comfort of the headset during extended gaming sessions. The plush ear cushions and adjustable headband ensure a snug fit without causing discomfort. The lightweight design adds to the overall comfort, allowing for hours of uninterrupted gaming without fatigue.

Let me start out by saying this is my first gaming headset. I have a large head, but this fits comfortably for a long period of time. The charge lasts much longer than I play games for in a day, so that is fine with me. It’s not as long as some others I’ve seen though. I love that it fits so comfortably, and the 3D audio is amazing! Music also sounds great on it, and the microphone is sufficient. The only thing I wish was different is the dongle. I’d love to have a USB c dongle, but this wasn’t done so it could work on PS4 as well.

This definitely makes a big difference when gaming. I can hear everything going on in the game including birds chirping when I play Red Dead Redemption 2! Very comfortable to wear. Not sure why I didn't purchase sooner! Sound quality is great, battery life is good and awesome that its wireless!

I’ve been using these for a couple of months now, and I must say they meet my expectations very well. They’re affordable and extremely comfortable to wear. The sound quality is quite good, and the battery life lasts up to four hours. They can also be used in wired mode. The only downside I've experienced is that they don’t automatically power off when not in use. I’ve accidentally left them on multiple times, which has prevented me from using them to play my games. Other than that, I highly recommend these headphones.

I purchased this headset to replace the platinum headset I had that got VERY uncomfortable after a couple hours... So far, I’ve played Ghost of Tsushima and BF1 with this headset and it’s kind of magical. The engineering that went into this headset is ridiculous and I don’t know how they did it, but it’s kind of insane... Playing BF1, I can seriously hear enemy footsteps from like 30 feet BEHIND me and the location is SPOT ON. If I closed my eyes I could point in the exact direction the person is and probably tell you for far away they are just based on the sound this headset produces... kind of magical... BF has always had a world-class sound design. But if the sound is this good on a non Tempest audio 3D game, I can’t even imagine what it’ll sound like with that audio encoding... The headset is pretty comfortable and definitely lighter than the platinum was. I just sits on the head better. All the controls are on the left ear can and they can be confusing so you’ll want to study them a bit. But you can also see what you’re doing on screen which really helps. The Pulse also has mic monitoring which is huge! No more raising my voice because I can’t hear myself... So far, I’ve used the Pulse for a few sessions and the battery hasn’t budged from the 2/3 charge that it came with. So I imagine on a full charge you’ll get the 12 hours Sony quoted. If you’re looking for a really good headset that won’t crush the bank, the Pulse is it! If you’re getting PS5, I seriously think it’s a must! The Pulse with the Tempest audio is probably going to be absolutely mind blowing!

Sounds GREAT on a PS4, as PS 5 impossible to get a fair price. Wireless, easy access to controls and love the fact to turn up volume on people talking too rather than game sound. Works right out of the box with zero problems. Bought for son, a gamer, and wondered why he never bought before. In comparisson of the price, these have the greatest amount of high ratings based on users, and reasonable pricing. Would recommend and buy again.

I have many gaming headphones. Literally many. I’ve tried several with the ps5. While my other headphones might sound more punchy. These ps5 headsets are perfectly made for the ps5 obviously. 3D audio is amazing. Seamless connection and super light weight. Also the price is perfect as well. They could have charged 149? And people would have still bought and loved. Very happy with this set.

Amazing headset!! The 3D sound is amazing! If you play COD then it helps so much! Can hear the enemies footsteps. Super comfortable and battery last a long time. I love them.

This is arguably the best headset I’ve ever owned. The earmuffs fit nicely around my ears, and the elastic band on top allows the headset to rest comfortably. The sound and controls are great, and it seems to have a pretty good battery life. The price tag is pretty fair as well considering it’s Sony, wireless, and works for both PS4 and ps5. I’m using it on PS4 right now, but I’m excited to use it on my ps5 when my it arrives.

Battery life is pretty good, i dont know if im deaf, but it is not that loud, i like loud headphones, sometimes i use the beat by dre Pro and let me tell you, they are LOUD, but this ones are light, very comfort, you can hear every noice with the 3D options on the PS5, i will recommend them if you are married and you want to play in peace without listening your wife complaining.

OMG 3D AUDIOOO!!!! Is where you want to be. Sony did an amazing job making this. Great for Fortnite and call of duty I can hear my enemies footsteps from a mile away clearly you can’t beat the $99.99 price super comfortable I play 3-5 hours per day and no complaints noise cancellation is a plus no complaints on the battery life definitely recommend getting. Overall Awesome gaming headset

Very pleased with this headset. It’s light, comfortable, the sound is excellent, super long battery life. Easy to set up. Connects to the PS5 with a wireless USB adapter. I’ve used the headset several times for the 3D audio on single players games because I can hear where there is trouble, it’s a great advantage

I wasn't expecting a whole lot after owning the Playstation Gold headphones, where their audio quality was very much just adequate, but from the moment I plugged these into my controller, I was very pleasantly surprised with a terrific and clear soundscape, and excellent bass quality. I don't own many headphones in this price range, but I'd think they'd be extremely competitive, perhaps even the pair to beat at $100. The mic quality is lacking, I wouldn't recommend using it at all*. The wireless battery will net you about 8-10 hours of playback, but you can use them just fine plugged into a 3.5mm jack on your controller. All of this said, this is just using the cans without setting them up with the PS5 as that has yet to arrive, so I'm sure they'll get even better with tweaking, I'll try and provide an update as I use them with the console in the next week or so. All in all, I was very surprised at how good these sound listening to music, and if you're looking for a pair to use with your shiny new console, I don't think you'd regret them in the slightest unless you plan on using the mic as well. In which case, maybe the HyperX or something would be a better fit (though wired). 4/5 stars due to mic, but superb audio quality for the price. Light, and comfy after a ~25-50hr break in period. Will not regret the purchase in the slightest! *mic might be better on PS5 vs PC, will update in a week or so.
