The pulse Explorer are double-edged sword. I do hand it to Sony. They made a beautiful pair of earbuds, but the sound quality compared to the Pulse Elite. Is night and day the Pulse Elite sound much better. They're more crisp and they give you a better audio experience when you're gaming although there is one feature they both share and that's the annoying disconnection where you have to For quite some time the PS link dongle which gets annoying due to it happening when you're in the middle of a game. Now these on the other hand connect way too much that I didn't bother trying them on my PlayStation 5 Pro and the sad part is I can't return them back to the store. But I'm glad I have OfferUp and I can sell them there for a decent price overall. It's not a pair of earbuds that I recommend and Sony should have left things like they were on the PS3 and allowed people to use generic earbuds or headphones to do online gaming instead of going with this proprietary earbud garbage. Do I recommend them? Yes, and no. It's a double-edged sword. The only thing that ruin some is the fact that they disconnect way too much acid way too much.

I don’t know if I am the only one but I have a lot of issues with the connection with the PS5, sometimes the left or right earbud got disconnected when I’m in front of the ps5. Maybe could be fixed with another update but for now I’m going back to my 3D Pulse

I went for these over regular headphones because of the multipoint connection. I loved the idea of having a video going on my phone with a game going on my console and having both audios. Unfortunately i seem to have a problem of either console audio cutting out or earbuds disconnecting entirely from the console if i use multipoint connection. But they fit great in my ears, the sound quality is great, the quality them selves feel great.

Had to return the first pair I bought because one of the power buttons wouldn’t depress. The second pair appeared to be fine, but then have begun to randomly disconnect from the signal. When they’re working, though, they sounds great and are very comfortable.

Solid Sound and Comfort, But Pricey

Overall, these are really good earbuds, especially if you’re already in the PlayStation ecosystem. The sound quality is clear with strong bass, and they get plenty loud without distortion. They’re comfortable to wear for long sessions and stay in place well, which is great for gaming or workouts.
The connection has been stable for me with no noticeable lag, and they pair easily. Battery life is decent, though not amazing — I usually have to recharge them sooner than I’d like if I’m using them heavily.
My main downside is the price. They feel well built and perform well, but for what you’re paying, I expected slightly better battery life and a few more features. Still, if you’re a PlayStation user or want reliable wireless earbuds with good sound, these are a solid choice.

Had to get these to connect them to my playstation portal. Took a little while to get both earpieces on, but it was worth it! Connectivity to the device may be a headache, but the sound quality is nice when it's fully connected. Comes with a nice case and a charger. Very useful if you want to buy these and connect to your playstation portal. Not sure if they work with a Nintendo switch, but I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to try.

These have great sound, but they disconnect every so often. Also had to get third party ear tips that helps the ear buds to stay in the ears because the original ear tips are a bit slippery and earbuds fall out easily. But I love the simultaneous connection to PS5 and the phone.

They disconnect quite often from the PS Link Adapter, which interrupts gaming sessions. Not the most comfortable for prolonged use. Some distortion at loud volumes.
Sound is otherwise good and they are very convenient.

These ear buds are decent, not bad, not great…DECENT! The sound is good, the chat is very good, but the connection is easily severed by the sensitivity of the control buttons. The fit is the main issue for me, I have to constantly adjust the buds which in turn lead to all the other issues.
