Customer Ratings & Reviews

Fantastic little pair of ear buds! Just make sure you buy these with intent to use them on your PS5. Otherwise, you will not get the full experience in my opinion. They sound great for games and work great for taking phone calls while playing. I will also say that I could not get the sidetone feature to work on these. Even after looking it up I read that you shoupd be able to in the PS5 sound settings. The option was either missing altogether, or grayed out. Ultimately I returned mine due to just not being able to use ear buds comfortably in my ears. Not an exclusive issue to this pair, but worth mentioning nonetheless.

When they work.. it is a great in ear ear bud for gaming in my opinion. I hear absolutely nothing but the game, no outside noise. Not even when someone right next to me is speaking. I hear great footsteps in call of duty. The downside is they disconnect from my playstation 5 constantly. They slip out of my ear sometimes even though ive tried multiple ear piece sizes that they come with.

Love them, I like the fact that Sony had their own option for wireless instead of the headband really cool.

Very good sound for gaming. The battery life is not great, and they get a bit hot in the ears but even still, would be perfect if they didn’t intermittently disconnect when using the Bluetooth with 2.4ghz dongle plugged into the PS5 or PC. If they patch this the product would be quite good, but as it is now, the defect is a deal breaker.

High quality earbuds. They have really good sound and are easy to sync to your PS5. They are comfortable but not as comfortable as my pulse headphones. Good but not perfect.

I love them! Sounds great easy to use and very comfortable and they stay charged for quite a while i use these everyday!

 It’s unfortunate that these products have a low rating because of people placing one stars on the pre-launch issue. These reviews are meant to help people decide if they want to purchase the product or not. For me the sound quality is great. I use it with my Sony portal and I’m very happy. Easy to connect and they do include multiple earpieces so you have the correct size. Sony did a great job with these earbuds. If you have a PlayStation portal they’re definitely a great accessory. No lag at all & comfortable to wear.

Sound quaility good, but cant goto far from system without disconnecting

These headphones are perfect and comfortable for wireless gaming. I love these and would definitely buy them again. They connected in seconds and seamlessly connect every time!

Bought this back im September 7 , its a great product specially if youre like me and dont like the big chunky headsets that leave you “headset dents” specially after gaming for hours , they have great futures, easy connectivity to any devices such as your smart phone or even gaming pc for that matter, may favorite future is the fact thst i could conect my phone and gaming console at the same time id never missed important calls since i could talk on the phone while still hearing the game !!! The earphones also have smart noise cancellation technology my friends said ever since i switched to this gaming earbuds my mic quality has improved and the background noise is less noticeable. In conclusion this is a great product that id truly recommend to anyone and i know its a sonny priduct but im sure this would be just as good for any gaming pc even to just use them for a smart phone and i would consider this a great alternative for those big ugly gaming headsets

The Sony PULSE Explore is a compelling option if your priority is immersive, low-latency gaming audio on the PS5, in a compact in-ear form. Their sound quality and dual connectivity are standout features. But if you often play for very long stretches, travel, or need strong mic performance or noise cancelling, there are trade-offs to consider.

If you have a PS5, Portal and the budget for these, get them! They feel great in my ears (try the different earbuds for proper fit), they’re light which makes them very comfortable. Most importantly to me is they sound great! The charging case is pretty nice as well. Besides the price, i have zero complaints for what i needed them for. And that’s mainly for wireless earbuds for my Portal.

These are perfect for what i got them for and they exceed my expectations. Put these on when everyone else in the house is sleeping and you still get all the sounds from all angles. Light weight. A litte off balances for the ears to hold but with the correct tip they stay in well. Maybe if youvwere sweating then they may fall or slip. The headphones sound great, i have no disconnection issues. Just 200 bucks for a very specific headphone.

I tried these headphones out for about a week. I didnt use them for a playstation but for listening to music. The sound that i got on was really good but it lacked bass and they were so heavy they were uncomfortable to wear.

The Earbuds are great, although the instructions were not so easy to understand for me, i needed to look up a video to pair them.

After seeing a ton of reviews, most not being very positive I was hesitant on buying these. When I first got them home and tried them out of the box I'll admit I wasn't too impressed and immediately wanted to take them back, but after someone suggested I try some new ear tips and to update them to the version that comes with the EQ that Sony put out at the end of January my thoughts changed immediately. After adjusting the EQ I realized the sound was totally night and day then before, and with the proper ear tips the earbuds no longer constantly fell out of my ears and they formed a seal which trapped in the sound making it sound so amazing like nothing I had heard before especially from an earbud. For anyone reading this make sure you use an ear tip that seals because I found the ones that Sony included weren't really that good and make sure you download the EQ on the PS5. Also I heard people saying that there was constant disconnect issues which I've experienced only two disconnects in a 3-week period which I can't tell you why it happened but at the end of the day I've gone more than week without it happening so it hasn't been in real issue. Also these are amazing if you play in VR because the sound signature is truly amazing and you can hear everything around you. I owned a pair of the new pulse elite headphones and let me tell you these are right there with them. I ended up returning the pulse elites because the earbuds were more convenient and felt way more comfortable with VR. You can't go wrong either way but don't hesitate on buying these earbuds because they are truly amazing.

Good sound once you are fitted with the right size ear tips. Connection sometimes drops, but overall good. Price is pretty steep.

very good quality sound. I can sense the 3D sound in games and it adds a fun experience to the game. I did have one instance where the buds just disconnected on their own, and not sure why. if they keep doing that I might consider reducing it by one star. but right now, its 5 stars and a recommended purchase.

Decent sound and 3D spatial experience in a portable factor. initially had some issues with crackling sound during game chat, but it appears the latest software and firmware updates have eliminated that issue. A bit uncomfortable at first, but I got used to the fit. Might just be my ears.

comfort is pretty good. sound is really good. but they disconnect at random for no reason when I am.sitting in the same exact spot and it doesnt matter the charge full half or under half. 1 will start flaking out then eventually they both go out.
