Customers are saying

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.

    The best thing about this product it has different size ear pieces and my personal favorite is that you can be connected to the console and you phone at the same time!!

    Very good sound quality when it comes to the PS5 audio output, though sound quality on Bluetooth devices leaves some to be desired when compared to AirPod pros.

    I bought these and they’re really really good and I bought a pair for my wife and she loves them. We’ve had them for about six months with no issues and they also were great with my PC doing gaming also. My Apple AirPods will pair with the PC but the volume sucks. These are a lot better.

    Things I like They connect to both my Macbook/iPhone and the PS5 at the same time. The PS5 sound is immersive and easy to turn up/down. Things I don't like Everyone complains that the phone sounds choppy. The button placement on the earbuds. Every time I adjust the earbud I end up turning the volume up.

    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.

    [Employee of bestbuy] 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.

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

    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.

    I use this both with my ps5 and as a standard bluetooth earbud for my iphone. It does both jobs quite well. The sound is very good. My only issue is that these are reasonably comfortable to wear for a short time but can get irritating after a few hours of use.
