Customers consistently note the impressive sound quality and comfortable fit of the PULSE Explore Wireless Gaming Earbuds for PS5. Many appreciate the decent battery life and sleek design. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding connection issues and the relatively high price point. Additionally, a few users feel the earbuds could benefit from improved bass and a higher maximum volume.

    Great for gameplay. Only issue I’ve had was connection issues with PS5. Had to reconnect because i could no longer hear other players or they hear me.

    These ear buds are great! Upgraded from the pulse headset so I can use with the portal. And wow... These things are awesome. I am able to connect 2 devices to these and differentiate the sound easily. For those who like me who like to hear the game sound and listen to music at the same time. I have not heard of any other eat buds that can do that.

    If you want to use PS Portal with headphones, this is one of only two convenient options. Good sound but quite expensive.

    These earbuds are massive, but the sound quality and the low latency make up for it. The price could be better.

    This is not the most comfortable product out there to be honest. They hurt my ears. They aren’t very clear. My friends constantly tell me they can’t hear me or that it’s really choppy when I speak. Also they disconnect from my PlayStation all the time. Over all not satisfied with them at all.

    I really want to love these and justify the price tag, but darn i cannot, although i will keep and continue to use these, they just miss the mark, when it comes to bass. Also no eq options for these yet the newer over the ear headphones sony just released for ps5 has those options. If these were 100 cheaper id say worth but at this price meh.

    You’ll need to pick up some foam ear tips on Amazon for these. After that the sound was amazing.

    I experienced an few issues with the Sony Pulse Explore earbuds. Their uncomfortable fit and tendency to disconnect randomly from the console were major drawbacks. Given the price, I expected seamless integration with my PlayStation, but these issues made them unsuitable for my gaming needs.I love the idea of wireless gaming ear buds, but the execution wasn’t there.

    Good quality. Random sync and connection issues. Quick reset works everytime for the fix. Maybe just an issue with adapter. Always connects but says that I need to connect .
