Kind of magical
Posted .Features
Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5I purchased this headset to replace the platinum headset I had that got VERY uncomfortable after a couple hours... So far, I’ve played Ghost of Tsushima and BF1 with this headset and it’s kind of magical. The engineering that went into this headset is ridiculous and I don’t know how they did it, but it’s kind of insane... Playing BF1, I can seriously hear enemy footsteps from like 30 feet BEHIND me and the location is SPOT ON. If I closed my eyes I could point in the exact direction the person is and probably tell you for far away they are just based on the sound this headset produces... kind of magical... BF has always had a world-class sound design. But if the sound is this good on a non Tempest audio 3D game, I can’t even imagine what it’ll sound like with that audio encoding... The headset is pretty comfortable and definitely lighter than the platinum was. I just sits on the head better. All the controls are on the left ear can and they can be confusing so you’ll want to study them a bit. But you can also see what you’re doing on screen which really helps. The Pulse also has mic monitoring which is huge! No more raising my voice because I can’t hear myself... So far, I’ve used the Pulse for a few sessions and the battery hasn’t budged from the 2/3 charge that it came with. So I imagine on a full charge you’ll get the 12 hours Sony quoted. If you’re looking for a really good headset that won’t crush the bank, the Pulse is it! If you’re getting PS5, I seriously think it’s a must! The Pulse with the Tempest audio is probably going to be absolutely mind blowing!

Hitting those mid sounds right!
|Posted .Features
Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Well first BestBuy shipping did a horrible job with shipping as my box is extremely dented. Second did a low frequency sound test from 160hz down to 20hz and these headphones are really hitting that mid base. It's not like a paid of beats where you just have that bass drop. Mic quality is average. They fit very comfortably on your head. Wireless sound output is horrible compared to having your 3.5mm jack in. Doing a test on 3D audio performance it was really well. If you want to test this there are some good YouTube 3D quality pieces on their with millions of views. Yes you could always spend more and get some better headphones over this but for $100 it will get the job done for you.

Comfortable headset
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Really comfortable, ear padding is more than even my PlayStation platinum which makes longer sessions more comfortable. Sound is about on par or a lil better than my Platinum. I haven't tried the 3D audio as yet as the PS4 launches in 9 days so I tested on my PS4 pro.

Quality4 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use3 out of 5Can’t fully review until I hear it on PS5, but has great sound on PS4. Being Bluetooth, I was surprised at the zero sound lag. Tried them on a few games and with music and they did well. Very comfortable and light.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionDo you guys like it? We worked kind of hard on it...
Asked by Sony.
- A:Answer yeah its pretty good but u know whats better? A PS5 console with the correct pre-order date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Answered by Anonymous
Q: QuestionIs this headset required to experience the 3D sound? Will you be able to experience the 3D sound from home theater surround sound speakers? What about PS4 surround sound headsets, like from Turtle Beach?
Asked by Ag2010.
- A:Answer You can get 3D sound from any headset (so long as it is compatible with the PS5 in general, either via USB dongle or 3.5mm jack into the controller) or speaker system. The 3D audio is a software feature on the PS5, not specific to any hardware. Note, the effect will work best and most consistently with headphones.
Answered by Zach
Q: QuestionIs this only compatible with the game or can I also use it with other electronics like my phone or laptop?
Asked by choochi111.
- A:Answer if it has a headphone jack.
Answered by Manny
Q: QuestionCan I connect 2 of these to one PS5?
Asked by OgreKZ.
- A:Answer If it's anything like the previous headsets, you'll only be able to connect one.
Answered by Sammy
Q: QuestionAre you able to mute the mic or is it always on when connected?
Asked by akel.
- A:Answer Yes, they will have a mute button on one of the ear cups just like the PlayStation Platinum and Gold headsets.
Answered by kluckie
Q: QuestionCan this headset be used while it is charging? I have the first version PS Gold headset and during use when that battery dies I can just plug it in and continue using them. This has become an important feature as I use them for pc gaming and also work.
Asked by Kaal.
- A:Answer Yes, they can be used while charging. I read this in several places but I was actually using the headset while it was plugged in and charging. So I can verify this. I got this for the PS4 Pro and although everything was awsome, the bass wasn't that great so I will be returning. I'll try again perhaps when I actually get a PS5 whenever that might be.
Answered by Ashtostone
Q: QuestionCan others still hear the game play through the TV while you're using the headphones or is sound only through the headphones only when you are using them?
Asked by Chudawgg187.
- A:Answer My experience has shown that audio will be routed through the headphone when they are powered on eliminating audio through external speakers.
Answered by JCod
Q: QuestionIf I played with a 3.5mm headphone jack into the PS5 controller, would the headset's microphone be disabled?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer If you plug the Pulse 3D headset into the DualShock/Sense directly via the headphone jack, the microphone works just fine. On the DualSense, you can toggle the microphone directly on the controller via the mute button.
