Sony - PlayStation - Pulse 3D Wireless Headset (Compatible for both PlayStation 4 & PlayStation 5) - White

I 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!

Well 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.

I never thought I’d say this but the 3D audio engine Sony built is better than ATMOS. I will say this, if you plan to play call of duty Cold War you better have this headset! It gives you such an advantage being being able to hear footsteps on different floors and on different surfaces. This headset is extremely comfortable it doesn’t block all the surrounding noise from your environment which I actually appreciate because noise canceling headphones kind of give me claustrophobia and make me feel stuffy. I do wish the ear cups were a little bit bigger for people that have bigger ears. My ear tends to “crunch” a touch on the top of the cup just a bit.

Good sound quality, nothing amazing. Sounds good if the volume is very high, but if you have the volume lower the sound is kinda muddied and jumbled. I find it becomes rather uncomfortable after wearing for an hour or more, maybe I just have a wide head, but the sides of my head where the ear ups touch starts hurting after awhile. Aside from that, the buttons are confusing on the side of the cup. There are buttons to mute voice, adjust headset volume, toggle monitor, and also to adjust the balance of game and voice chat volume. They are all very close together on the same ear cup and they are all the same size and shape, so I often click the wrong button while wearing them. Just bad design on the buttons all around. They should have spread the buttons out across both ear cups, and differentiated the shapes so it’s easier to tell what you’re pressing.

Really 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.

It gets the job done. The 3D audio is really good especially if you are into shooters. It increased my kdr on Cold War and I am reaaaally bad at shooters. You can hear exactly where the enemy is walking and it is pretty cool. If you are sensitive to sounds though, I wouldn’t recommend it because explosions are constantly going off in your ear. It admittedly gave me anxiety because of that but I luckily got used to it. An issue for people with small heads is that it is uncomfortable to wear because it doesn’t fit properly and you can’t adjust it to fit tighter. I can’t wear it long at all without it hurting my ears. Other than that it is okay. It has some noise cancellation which was a nice surprise

Best sony ps5 headset in the market!!! This headset is built to last and the sound quality is amazing.

Lightweight and easy to use. Alright range on them but besides that the quality is amazing. Feels comfortable on the head and ears, would recommend.
