    Great sound. Love the mute light on the mic. Easy control. MAJOR design flaw in the frame. The plastic is weak near the hinge and mine broke after just two months of use.

    I’ve been using these for months now, and they have held up! Easy to adjust, lightweight (it’s plastic, but not cheap feeling) and the sound is crisp! You can do so EQ if you want to listen to some different music, or change how games sound. They have an aux, usb -c, Bluetooth, and onboard buttons. You can connect your phone in parallel to the music coming from the system via the usb dongle. The best part: the hanger is the charger!

    These sound excellent! These are a steal for what they are. The battery is quite good, as well as the PS Link response time. The planar magnetics are top tier for sound reproduction (studio quality). The fact that these are basically Audezes but sub $500 is wild. Easily one of, if not, my favorite audio peripherals I own.

    I've used this for a few hours already. I love the flexible inside head strap that automatically adjusts with your head. The headphones fit over my ear nicely and are comfortable. I've had the volume at about 75% and it sounds great. I also went into the sound settings and am using the preloaded shooter profile. I used the wall mount that came with it to hang the headphones. The wall mount also charges the headphones. I used a 22 lb drywall anchor and a screw with a FLAT screw head. The rounded screw head did not work. It does not come with a screw or drywall anchor. I mounted it behind my PS5 and sort of behind my TV. Easy to connect to PS5. You will have update the software first. So you'll need to connect the headphones to the PS5 first. I also enjoy the retractable mic. I usually game alone and just want to to enjoy the sound of the games. So this was nice not having to see a mic out of the corner of my eye. So far I'm happy with everything.

    These things are 99% plastic. And guess what? The fulcrom where force is applied, as you take them off and put them on, is ALSO PLASTIC. So it will break. Not if, but when. I am very careful with mine and they have already begun to separate at that fulcrom. Not worth the money, unfortunately, which is a shame because they DO sound great!

    Great upgrade from the pulse 3D. Better sound, mic and battery life. The best feature for me is the ability pair your ps5 and phone at the same time, I can’t express enough how convenient this is. The charger is also a huge pulse.

    I wanted to love this headset. I really like the functionality of them, so much so that after the first one broke, I bought new ones which also broke. The build quality is subpar, especially being a sony product. I could not, in good conscience, recommend these to another consumer.

    Poor Durability

    I’ve had the PlayStation Pulse Elite headset for about a year, and while the audio quality is quite good, and the hanging charger is a convenient touch, this headset suffers from a fundamental design flaw: durability. As you can see in the image, the frame has cracked on both sides. This isn’t due to rough handling—just regular use. The plastic frame is simply not built to last. The first crack occurred after 8 months of use. For a premium-priced headset, I expected much better durability. Instead, the structural integrity of this headset is questionable at best. To compare, I recently purchased and switched to another headset, and the difference is night and day. It feels far more premium, with a more solid build and a design that prioritizes longevity. I have no concerns about it breaking the same way the Pulse Elite did.
