It drops connection too often
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It needs an update it drops connection just by moving your head. Good sound, but they need to solve the connectivity issue.

Way better than headphones IMO
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The fit is not bad, my ears do start to hurt after having them on for like an hour. The battery on these are not bad at all with a full charge....... I can confidently say this is good enough for 4 hours of playtime at least.

Great “depending” on what youre looking for
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So these earbuds are actually really great depending on what you’re wanting in wireless earbuds. 1st you do need to take the time to find the right earbuds. I almost returned immediately with the original tips, because they sounded like garbage. The bigger eartips worked for me and it made the quality of the sound a night and day difference. Once you do get good eatips in, they sound just as good, if not better than airpod pros or galaxy buds 2 pro. Its also nice having them connect to my phone, portal and PC all seamlessly. So get these if you want great quality and flexibility as a gamer. The downside is no wirelese charging and the case is also double the size of the galaxy buds pro 2. It also does take some tinkering to get it just right. I also have to use a 3rd party equalizer in that scenario as well. So get something different if you want wireless charging, something smaller and you dont have to mess around with as much.

Awful
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are terrible headphones. The only reason you should buy them is if you own a PlayStation portal and have to use them. They are subpar in every way besides sound. They aren’t comfortable, ergonomic, or particularly convenient to use; the last of those being the most egregious considering they are designed to work closely with playstation. The left earbud constantly pops, crackles, and disconnects when only about 10 feet from the PlayStation. Often only one wants to connect and I have to mess with them to get both connected. I had to look at a product image online just to see how they were supposed to fit in my ears, which speaks volumes towards the ergonomics of them. Just truly bad headphones all around and I kind of hate them. And all this without even speaking on only making the PlayStation portal require proprietary headphones which is a bad business practice.

Great Earbuds!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Earbuds are comfortable and offer a great new experience with the sounds of the game alongside my portal. I really like only having to put one in while I’m in the living room hanging out and have the tv on with family chilling. Definitely recommend!

Almost great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The idea of PlayStation earbuds is a very attractive one. And they are very high quality buds, with the PlayStation 5 or my phone. My only real gripe is that they occasionally and briefly lose their connection to the PS5. Not sure what causes this but it happens often enough to be annoying. If this gets fixed, easy 5 stars.

Good product wouldn’t say it’s worth the price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these headphones because I wanted something that can connect to PlayStation portal Wirelessly they work all right sound quality could be better. I would say they’re not as good as AirPod pros. It does allow you to connect to your phone and your PlayStation at the same time so you can Pick up your and answer through the headphones while you’re wearing them while playing a game I bought them for 145 bucks open box and I still feel like it wasn’t worth that price Unless you’re like me got tired of carrying your headphones with your PlayStation portal. I would say wait till the price goes down.

Great overall
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The 3D audio is amazing, they fit super comfortable, theres different EQ presets and custom settings, and they dont look super bulky in your ear. You do have to charge the case somewhat frequently however.

Great sohnd, awful connection
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is great and can truly elevate gameplay and immersion. However the connection issues are extremely annoying. Disconnects often and sometimes the PS5 won’t even detect the headphones. I had to spend an additional 25 dollars for another PS link because the one that came with the headphones stopped working. Mind you these are 200+ dollar earbuds. Really wish the connection issues were resolved because this would be a 4-5/5 otherwise.

Great!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Takes a little while to get the eq and ear fit right, but once you do, it sounds great! Default ps5 setting is flat eq, so definitely turn up the bass at least.

High hopes on Sony product. Not worth the price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pre ordered these when announced and was eagerly excited to receive and try out these wireless earbuds. Not a fan of huge headsets for gaming long periods at a time and thought these would be the best alternative in today’s gaming industry especially to pair with my PlayStation 5. I spent more time trying to get these to stay in my ear with its huge flawless design. They are top heavy so it just wants to flip out your ear no matter what tip you use, the audio is probably the worst audio I’ve ever heard, there’s no bass very quiet and I kept having a problem with them disconnecting every 5 mins or so even being 15 ft away from my console. The price point is a crazy price for these earbuds as well. Especially that the 3D pulse headset is 99 and the 3D pulse elites that are coming out are 150. I think the price for what you get on these should be around 79.99 in my opinion. I wouldn’t waste my money on these things as I have returned mine. Me being a huge Sony tech enthusiast, this was really a disappointment.

Not worth $200
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these to use with a PlayStation Portal. The sound quality is great when playing games, but there is some discomfirt after wearing then for more than 30 minutes. My main frustration with these, and the reason for returning them, is that there are constant connectivity problems. I had to spend 5-10 minutes troubleshooting (resetting and re-pairing) the earbuds every 2-3 days. For $200, these earbuds should not perform like a half-baked product.

Okay
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these for my PS5 because a lot of headphones don’t fit around my ears (also: glasses) comfortably. They are kinda crap for listening to music and the ear tips are horrible. Once I swapped the tips out for a set of foam ones, the fit was WAY more comfortable (noise canceling bumped up quite a bit too). I ended up getting the Portal and these earbuds sound a lot better with that device (duh). The case is neat and I think they look cool. If you have a large gift card and can’t figure out what to spend it on, these wouldn’t be the worst thing to buy. Otherwise, you could probably pass on them.

Mix feelings but worth it if you own a portal
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First of all, don't expect much of these. The pulse Explorer are decent they offer just enough, but they're lacking a bunch, and the price point they are being sold is ridiculous. I have these in the Pulse Elite yet. These have a mixed bag of love and hate. Are they worth it for what they offer? Yes, and no, and here's my takeaway. If you have a PlayStation portal then go ahead and buy these you're going to enjoy them they're going to work because going to be tied to these or option b have a cable hanging getting in the way due to Sony's proprietary method of connection. These are the only options you have if you want to go Wireless now the sound quality don't expect it to be better than the pulse Elite because it's not it's a hit or a Miss. They are futuristically awkward looking and prepare to adjust them here and there or sometimes often because it all comes down to the person's ear canal and shapeSo when you start sweating you are going to be adjusting these often which will cripple your gaming experience. Like I mentioned before they are worth it. If you have a PlayStation portal and you do most of your gaming there, if you don't then I wouldn't bother looking at these and going after them. The Pulse Elite will do fine for television gaming and to close down my thoughts. I would only buy these if it comes down to owning a PlayStation portal. Other than that I stay away from them.

Great for portal
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These earbuds are the best. Most earbuds dont stay in my ear, but these stay in and sit perfectly. Super easy to pair with portal via the link button. Sound is good as well, not too loud and not too low just right.
