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.

    Bought it just because i need to use it with my playstation portal. But after 2 days of using it…i notice that the left and right earbud would randomly disconnect n connect . Is this defective? As a total member should best buy fix this or should i contact sony? Its much worse if i lie down on the bed…and if its the wifi connection, i have unlimited 10g data plan from xfinity but i think it connects to portal using bluetooth so you tell me?

    The headphones work well with the PS5 but after some time they tend to disconnect. I have had my headphones since December 2023 (6 months) and they are starting to sound like static when people speak.

    Amazing product. Paired great with my iPhone 15 and my ps5! Very comfortable despite the unique design, charging case is a bonus as well. Great competitor to the AirPods.

    Better than a headset! The footsteps are so much better with these than any headset I’ve had. If you are seeing this get them. They also have very convenient charging!

    For PS Portal Only

    The earbuds work well with the portal but that’s it! I tried them with my PSVR 2 and the sound is horrible. The buds that came with the VR sound better. I tried them with my phone and much prefer my AirPods. If you have 200 bucks to spend for just wireless audio for your PS Portal they are a good buy but don’t expect them to replace your AirPods

    Great, but not for me. Sound quality was awesome and clear. I ended up exchanging them for the Pulse Elite headset instead.

    Good to use with the PlayStation streaming controller. Make sure you update the software first. Not the most comfortable earbuds but good for about $150 or less.

    A good choice if you want to game and be on your phone at the same time or just wanting one set of earbuds for both your phone and PS. The only down side is you can’t answer your phone from the earbuds.

    These never connect worth a crap. One side always loses connection during gameplay or both lose connection. Constantly have to re-pair to the console with mixed results. Do not buy. There are way better options out theee for less!!
