    Very good earbuds. I use mine with my PS portal. It connects to two devices at once which is pretty impressive when you experience it in action. I connect to the portal to hear game audio, and I connect to my iPhone for voice chat on the ps app or discord, or a phone call, or Spotify. Works beautifully. I docked the score 1 star because it has no active noise cancelling. Super happy with my purchase tho. Would recommend to portal users.

    I wanted to write a review for these because it seems as a lot of people had the same issue as myslef with these ear buds. I could not get them to fit comfortably and sound good for the life of me. I kept switching all of the ear tips that were included in the box, and could not get them to sound or feel good at all. Before sending them back, I decided to get some foam ear tips and give them another chance. I can't believe how much better they sound and feel. With the original ear tips, the clarity was there, but the bass response was not. Also, the ambient noise from the room I play PS5 was too loud and distracting during gaming. It honestly feels like I am using a different set of earbuds by simply changing the tips. The foam ear tips enhanced my experience with my airpods pro, and now these as well. Not sure if I got lucky or not, but I just ordered a foam set that are intended for Sony earbuds in general. They seem to be working just fine, and have not come off in quite a few sessions now. Hopefully this helps not only people who are contemplating these earbuds, but also people that already own them. The ease of connectivity, sound quality of sound from the Planar Drivers make these a very competitive set of earbuds for PS5. The Pulse Explore earbuds make the gaming experience very immersive, and I'm not sure I will go back to my Steel Series headset. Also... I have also discovered that the 3D Audio option on the PS5 have made any headphones sound pretty bad. Linear PCM is true passthrough, and has been the default for every game I play now.

    Great sound, comfortable, you’ll need to find the right size plugs for your ear which it comes with multiple sizes already, and learn to put them on or they will fall. Once you learn that they don’t fall at all.

    PULSE Explore wireless earbud

    Not what I expected from a pair of “PS” Earbuds they sound good, but not enough for their price point. Understandably wanting to drop the weight of a headset. This was a good try slightly missed the mark with oddly placed buttons and weird fit, and also lack of a Battery while playing long sessions.

    Earbud fit takes some getting used to, microphone is too quiet on pc discord, sound is really good for earbuds, battery is mediocre and disconnection can happen if you accidentally hit the pairing button on the earbud

    They don't feel very premium, even the case feels a bit cheap. Sound is decent, but on the Portal at max volume they're not very loud. Considerably overpriced.

    Sound decent once they update, i dont like the lack of transport control. Ultimately i dont really enjoy gaming with earbuds but they are nice sounding and decently fitting

    Incredible Earbuds

    Skeptical because of 3 star reviews I held out 4 months to pick these up. They are comfortable, with incredible sound. Despite the appearance they are extremely lightweight. The required usb dongle is a bit annoying with all of the PS5's tech, but zero sound delays and no signal drops after 2 weeks of heavy use.

    Ever since they fixed the connection issue with these earbuds they been working just fine. Sound good on both the PS5 and Portal. I don't use the microphone so i can't speak to the quality of that. Sound better and are more comfortable than the original Sony 3d Pulse headphones I picked up back when those were first released.

    I’d have to say that Sony/PS5 is going in the right direction with these. They are very convenient for someone like myself who doesn’t like headphones on my head because I’d rather be headset free! The battery life is really good! The only flaw I’d say is that the comfort in the ear isn’t too good but maybe that’s my ear shape lol. Def worth a purchase if you relate to me about headphones.

    The Impulse pods are good. The sound quality is excellent coming from a PlayStation product. The ability to use them with your phone is great but will not disconnect automatically when removed from your ear. They are also quite bulky and a little uncomfortable and clumsy inside the ear. Of your into PlayStation items this is something to have but for comfort I would go with a headset or other comfortable pods

    Annoyed of ear aches or want to a head bump these are it can have good 5-10 hours of game if with no issue and the ability to listen to my phone is handy does have issues with calls but I think that’s every gamers problem but over all has good audio and ready to use out of the box
