Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Sony Pulse Elite Wireless Headset is hands-down the best headset I’ve used with my PS5. From the moment I started using it, I could hear details I never noticed before—footsteps, environmental sounds, and subtle audio cues are all crystal clear thanks to the amazing planar magnetic drivers. It truly delivers next-gen 3D audio like no other. Comfort-wise, it's top-notch. The headset feels premium, lightweight, and fits snugly without pressure, even during extended gaming sessions. The sound is rich and balanced with deep bass and crisp highs, and the spatial audio really pulls you into the game world. The retractable boom mic is a great touch—my friends say my voice is incredibly clear, and it stays tucked away when not in use. Plus, the wireless connection is rock-solid with no lag or dropouts, and the battery life is excellent. I’ve gone multiple sessions on a single charge. Sony really knocked it out of the park with the Pulse Elite. If you're looking for a high-end wireless headset built specifically for the PlayStation 5 experience, this is the one. Worth every penny.

The Sony PULSE Elite Wireless Gaming Headset for PS5 is a game-changer if you want immersive sound without the fuss. The planar magnetic drivers make every detail pop, from subtle footsteps to booming explosions, while the 30-hour battery keeps you gaming worry-free. It’s comfortable enough for long sessions, and the included charging hanger is a nice touch that keeps it ready to grab and go. The design is a little bulky, but if you’re looking for crisp audio, a solid mic, and seamless PS5 integration, this headset really delivers.

It’s a pretty good headset has great sound, some issues is that it sometimes disconnects. Not all the time but it’s minimal. A pro about is that the battery last a good amount of time.

Comfortable yet awkward design. My girlfriend says I "look silly" wearing them. I like the auto-adjusting fit. The sound quality is decent, but not great. Excellent battery life now (~ 30 hrs) that's almost unbelievable. Time will tell how quickly this degrades. Consistent performance. The microphone cannot be adjusted and sometimes rubs against my face. These were designed to pair with the PSVR 2, which I do not have. These could be $25 to $50 cheaper in my opinion.

This was a replacement for my original PULSE Elite that started giving me connectivity issues. While the headset stays connected, it is amazing. It gives awesome realistic representation of all sounds and what direction they come from in a game or anything I'm watching. I hope this headset lasts and the issues I had with the first headset were an isolated situation. If it weren't for that issue, I would give it 5 stars.

This headset has amazing sound and it is better than my other headset; the Arctis Nova 7+ that I own. If you are also considering the 3D pulse, you should get the Pulse Elite instead and you will not regret it.The comfort is there and the features you get are amazing for what you pay. My only issue is the random disconnects from the Playstation link connection every few hours or so, which i hope gets a software patch soon. I do not recommend this hedset if you play competitive shooters for this reason, but for everything else its

Despite most reviewers saying to use this for gaming alone, I have found the Pulse Elite’s to work amazingly for music as well. Most of my use with these comes from the ability to hook up to your PlayStation 5, and phone at the same time. I listen to music while I play, or take phone calls when I would previously have to put down my game for the duration of the call. However, the one and only gripe I personally have with the headset comes up about once a day. Apparently the adaptor used to hook to your PlayStation wirelessly, struggles to compete with other devices on the same frequency in the area due to low power output. This glaring issue causes your Pulse Elites to disconnect from the PlayStation every once in a while.. there is no simple way to reconnect the headset causing you to fiddle with the electronics until it works. Despite that issue, the headset is perfect. I couldn’t ask for a better first party headset than this. Though the connection issue may be off putting, I promise the frequency of it is not high enough to bring the rating of this headset down more than 1 star.

Overall headset is really good. Fits well and doesnt huet my ears. Great battery life great sound. Only problem is the connection to ps5 can be iffy. Does link up to PS Pulse and had no priblems on it.

Good headset with noise cancellation and Bluetooth phone capabilities. Headset is much more comfortable than the Pulse 3Ds and overall just a huge upgrade. The only thing stopping it from being a great headset is the fact that the adapter sometimes loses connection with the headset and mid game you have to pull it out of the PS5 and start your headset back up. It doesn’t happen that often but often enough to annoy you.

When I hooked up this headset, there was an immediate request to update. After that, it was on to gaming. I love the sound, fit and functionality of this headset. Works great and thankfully, I haven’t had the disconnection issues plaguing so many. The only issue I have is not being able to adjust the Game/Chat balance (the option is there but it’s grayed out). I hope that issue is fixed soon. Other than that, I am very happy with this purchase and consider it a great value at the price.

love these! the sound quality is very very nice and they fit very comfortable for long gaming sessions! very nice battery life as well!

The audio is crisp and immersive, perfect for PS5 gaming. Super comfortable for long sessions, and the battery lasts forever. Totally worth it!

Amazing comfort and quality sound!!! Had issues connecting to multiple link adapter dongles however the original dongle it came with which is connected to the ps5 connects instantly!! I bought a second link adapter for my work computer so I could also use this for work calls and I’m not sure if the additional dongle is defective but it won’t connect from the ps5 to the computer. Unless I unplug the original dongle from the ps5 and put it into the work computer.

Sound quality and system integration is seemless and convenient. Although connection issues are rampant. Multiple times a game session (3 to 6 hours) it will lose connection to dongle and must be removed and replaced to correct. Also, with 1 year they broke in multiple places as the headset design is not for all.

After 2 weeks to a month of owning this headset I had to return it. I liked the simple EQ software on the PS5 and when the headset stayed connected it felt good after long hours and had a decent sound right out the box. The issue lies in the connectivity, it often lost connection to where I had to turn the headset off unplug the ps link dongle and replig that in before powering on the headset at least once or twice a day. If you are ok with this then its a good headset. I play a lot of solo games and a great deal of multiplayer so I need a reliable headset and mic. For the price its a hard pass. (I ended up returning the product and am stick with my old but worn out razer barracuda pro)

I got this for the sole purpose of playing a bit of FFVII Rebirth and reminisce about playing the original 27 years ago while the rest of the family is sleeping. As such, I couldn't care less about the microphone part, it will stay off. Games with kids screaming insults at each other are not my thing, but to each their own. This uses the proprietary Playstation Link protocol which is supposed to be lower latency than Bluetooth and also supports lossless audio. For casual gaming it sounds great, for hifi sound I'll stick with my electrostatic STAX headphones that cost 10x what these go for. Different use case. These come with one Playstation Link dongle that goes in your PS5, would be nice if that functionality was built in, I don't particularly like dongles. You can buy additional dongles to use the improved modes on PC and Mac, but they support Bluetooth as well. At the end of the day these work great, you'll get prompted for a firmware update the first use which requires both dongle and headphones to be plugged into the PS5 but that takes less than 5 minutes. Sound quality is excellent, and the battery life seems to live up to the rated 30 hours. Comfort is also good even with a larger than average head - totally happy with these.

I love my Pulse Elite headset! It’s loud & has great bass/treble but don’t turn it all the way out or you’ll hurt your ears & blow out the headset. Wish it came with a USB-C to USB-C PS5 charger for faster charger.

Very good headset. Sounds good and very light on your head play for hours. Battery life excellent. Just swap out the batteries.

Sound is great, but it consistently disconnects. It disconnects more if you plug the dongle into the back of the PS5 . It is difficult to turn off at times, as the power button acts a multi function switch and does what ever it wants. It hold a charge for a long time and a free many uses. Very comfortable on the head.

Fantastic product - 3d audio is a game changer for first person shooters. Very comfortable, almost no ear discomfort after hours of playing. Long battery life. The extendable boom mic makes talking to teammates & friends clearer. No problems with this product whatsoever.
