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.

    As the title says, these sound amazing when using basically any other eartips than the ones included. I'm using foam tips and they offer much better noise cancellation. Sucks that the launch was poor and that you need your own eartips, because in the right condition, they sound great.

    At first I didn’t like them because of the can’t connect via Bluetooth. But I tell you what I love these earbuds it’s a perfect companion not only for the portal but also the ps5. I love the fact that I can connect my phone as it’s connected via ps5 or portal. Only thing bothers a little is when on ps5 it disconnects and connects again. No big deal just annoying.

    I’m not sure what others expected, but these earbids are perfect for the purpose they were made to serve. Maybe a bit expensive, but its new tech. I love them with my portal.

    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.

    Like others have said, the sound quality was actually quite impressive. That’s about the only thing I enjoyed about it before I returned it. Connection to my Portal was spotty, being in ear was painful after some time. I’m sure this is perfect for some, just not for me.

    I was really looking forward to these earbuds but unfortunately they aren’t worth it. I have them connected to my iPhone and ps5 simultaneously. The connection to the PS5 constantly gets interrupted. The earbuds hurt my ears after a good 3-4 hour session. I recommend you try the Inzone buds first. They connect to android phones simultaneously but not iPhone. The sound on these was really good though. Hopefully the second iteration of these will have a longer battery and better design like Inzone.
