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

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.

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!

This is my second time buying this headset, the first time I allowed myself to believe that there was something better so I got rid of them and purchase the steelseries PS5 version headset and honestly I didn't see it being worth the extra money with all the extra stuff that had to be done just to get it to sound like the PS5 headset out the box so I returned those and now I'm back and completely satisfied with my PlayStation 5 pluse 3d headset and see no point in purchasing any other headset over $100 when the PS5 pluse 3d headset is made to work flawlessly with the PS5 or the PS4. So i definitely recommend this headset.

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’ll ready had the gold headset for the PS4, but still wanted to try this one. The bad, STILL needs the USB dongle in order for the headset to work, for the 3D audio there’s is no need for the headset, you can still make the 3D audio with a regular wire headset connected to the controller. The good, it’s very comfortable, better than the gold, the audio quality is excellent, premium (obviously better than a headset connected to the controller). The battery life is good 4-5hrs play for 3 days on a row, then it needs to be recharged. Overall still a premium purchase, better than the gold and for its price a quality headset, there are more out in the market at a higher price.

It’s a nice headset and sounds great. I was afraid it wouldn’t fit me due to all of the negative reviews I was reading on them. That was not the case and they fit me just fine. I do think that the controls on them are a bit awkward and not user friendly. They are comfortable and you kind of forget you are wearing them for a long time. I would recommend this headset.

Looks great paired up with the PS5. Bought a very inexpensive wall headset mount, and it looks great next to the PS5. The sound quality is good, it's not awesome, but it's pretty good. It communicates perfectly with the Playstation and the ability to play wirelessly and not have any cords plugged in to your controller is the reason why I went with this headset and why I gave it 5 stars.

I bought this headphone for my son to use it for his play station 5 and he loves it so much. He said this is the best headphone he used until now. Hope it lasts long.
