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.

    Decent sound quality when used with a PS5 or Portal, but not loud at all. Also very poor for music when used with bluetooth. Functionality was fine, as promised. Just not worth $218 after tax. At half that, great deal.

    I had high hopes for the planar drivers. Smooth highs are traded for bass in this case. The inzone buds sound better and are way more comfortable. Arctis Gamebuds are the winners of this category for now, though.

    They are awful gaming headphones, my friends said I sounded like I was 20 feet away. They disconnect every 5 minutes… they were okay as normal headphone use. Complete waste of $200

    I love them. Use them every day. My only gripe is the price due to not having any active noise canceling capabilities.

    Bought these and returned within 15 minutes. Fit was terrible and they would not connect to portal. Spent whole time fiddling with earpieces trying to get them to fit in my ears. Might consider buying for $50 or less. O more than that felt really cheap.
