Customer Ratings & Reviews

Ive been waiting for Playstation earbuds for a long time, and jumped at the chance to buy these. Since purchase my initial impressions are that they sound great and that the microphone is just okay. They are no replacement for headphones, but they still sound great. In my first hour of gaming with them they disconnected three times, and did not reconnect until I reseated the USB. The few days after that they still disconnected, but reconnected on their own after a second or two. While they are new and I could have duds, this isnt the experience I expect for a 200$ pair of earbuds. Putting aside the connection issues, they are great.

Not very comfortable, not as loud as the pulse elite headphones. Does sync very fast, good for gaming sounds but very lackluster if your using it to hear music. Very easy to carry around for my portal since and charging case is nice. For some reason when answering calls on your phone the mic isn’t available.

Excellent Sound quality, comparable to the Audeze Maxwell. EQ is a bit limited, but good enough to crank the bass (Stays clean, no distortion thanks to Planar drivers!). I'm very picky with sound quality and these are great. Comfort is solid, not the best, they are a bit bulky, but a bit better than the Sony XM4s. They still offer a nice relief compared to big, bulky heavy headsets, which is the main reason I bought them. Also really enjoy that I can connect these to my PS5 and PC (bluetooth) at the same time. This lets me multi-task, look up clips on youtube, work from home, etc... all while chatting with friends on the PS5 and watching them play games through screen-share. IMO, from an audiophile perspective, these are wholly underrated. For the price, the audio quality alone is worth it. Everything on top of that (wireless, small, dual audio, PS5 compatibility) is all a bonus.

The Sony PULSE Explore is a compelling option if your priority is immersive, low-latency gaming audio on the PS5, in a compact in-ear form. Their sound quality and dual connectivity are standout features. But if you often play for very long stretches, travel, or need strong mic performance or noise cancelling, there are trade-offs to consider.

I loved the sound and the ability to block out all other sounds. The ability to mute yourself from the controller is something everything else is missing. You can turn up or down the volume from the headphone itself which is very nice. My singular compaint is that it will disconnect for no reason and struggle to reconnect every once in a while.

Not worth the money! wait till they go on sale. feel cheap, uncomfortable, but good sound quality. AND it is true, connection issues all the time, till the point were I need to reboot the PS5 sometimes. Battery life is ok!

Sound quaility good, but cant goto far from system without disconnecting

They do the job well but I only use them for gaming with my ps5 and portal. Very clear sound but not super extra loud. They do fit very well in my ears and I don't even feel them after a while. They do shine when playing games with 3D audio like GOW... in a dark room ;)

Sound quality is amazing, it can also connect to your phone via Bluetooth. It’s perfect for the PlayStation portable fits in my carrying case, but you can also connect them to the PlayStation 5 and use them just as any other headset. I also love these earphones because you can have them connected to the PlayStation portable and your phone at the same time in case someone calls you.

I was a bit iffy about these as they are not noise cancelling like the inzone buds. But I tried these out and the sound quality on these is out of this world, plus it has noise isolation which might be better than noise cancelling; which means no annoying background hiss. The sound quality on these tho I reiterate is engineered to perfection. Plus very easy to connect to PS5 and multi connection switching between phone and PS5. Which works about 85% of the time, every once in a while. When you have them connected to both PS5 and phone. It will stay connected just to the phone and you have to unplug the USB from the PS5 and plug right back it in , to get your audio back from the PS5. Which is the only reason Imma give these 4 stars instead of 5. This never happened with the H9 headset, which is phenomenal also, only flaw on that headset is that plastic on the headband will come off if you wear your headset tight to get that precious noise cancelling. gg got to go thank me later kids

At first, I was skeptical, but ended up taking a chance on these pulse earbuds. They are way better than the over the ear PlayStation headphones. It’s a completely different sound well worth the money and you won’t be dissatisfied. I promise. !! You can control the volume with a button right on top of Each headphone, They do not fall out of your ears because of the way they are designed, That was one of the things I was worried about. There’s a button button on the bottom of each click three times to open the menu and control the volume of the game music and whichever option you choose also mute your mic on the controller, which is perfect or you can go into the menu and mute it as well.

These are super comfortable, light weight and the sound is amazing. I wear glasses so tgese are perfect for me to avoid the over ear headsets from pressung down on glasses. A must have for the PlayStation portal as well.

Excellent for portal. Long battery and good quality.

Great option if you like to have a 3D audio experience and not have an overbearing headset. The option to use it cross devices is an outstanding addition to have, not to mention, connecting to your PlayStation 5 and PlayStation Portal seamlessly. Where it hikes up in accessibility, sort of falls a little in consistant sound quality. Sound can fall flat at times which can take you out of an experience, but a great choice to have over a headset.

Amazing, very comfortable and light, doesnt heat up my ears like traditional over the ear headphones, and I used for bot ps5 and PC and PC mode doesn't change nothing they sound as great as ps5

Surprisingly good sound and spatial audio. The rubber ear tips are kind of garbage but you can buy memory foam ones that pretty much make these earbuds exceptional, comfort and quality. Pretty pricey but considering what you get and comparing to Apple AirPods, I guess it’s fine.

Been wanting something like this to happen for both playstation and bluetooth headphones and man am so glad theh came out and they were great as I ever predicted! Sounds was great, Mic works well and love the fact it connects both via playstation usb link and bluetooth devices and man those features that was builted, was awesome!!!

Decently comfortable with good battery life but they’re a little bulky in your ears, but they’re not uncomfortable after a while and feels very natural. The case is very large, but there are some of the only portable headphones for the PlayStation portal and if you want those then they’re perfect. Otherwise I would recommend a different option for the PS5 unless you prefer in ear headphones.

These PS5 earbuds are a fantastic addition to my gaming setup. They fit snugly and comfortably in the ear, making long gaming sessions a breeze. The sound quality is impressive, delivering clear and immersive audio that enhances the gaming experience. What I love most is how quickly they connect—almost instantly—making them super convenient to use.

Bought these just to try out with the intention of returning them within 14 days. But ended up keeping them because i love them so much. Love the dusl connectivity with my ps5 & my phone. I can be immersed in the game & never miss a notification from the fiance lol. As well as be able to watch youtube/tik tok on my phone in between matches without having to take anything out or disconnect/reconnect anything. When not gaming, music from my phone sounds amazing. Definitly make sure youre using the right size ear tips or you wont get that bass sound. These currently replaced my Airpods. My only complaint is that it lacks a play/pause feature when listening to music on the phone & the volume controls only work when connected to playstation, not phone
