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.

    Would not stay connected to my playstation. One would connect and the other would either not connect or would connect and lose connection and bounce back and forth.

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

    When I am playing games the Left or Right keeps disconnecting. So, I am returning it. Also the sound is not worth the price. This is worth $50 or less because the sound is mediocre.

    I have no idea how people can say these sound great. $10 wired headphones sound better. The case feels like cheap plastic and the buds themselves are heavy. I gave them two stars only because they are lag free. Definitely not worth $200!

    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.
