- Sony’s Pulse Explore Earbuds are laser-focused on, and deliver, high-quality sound for gaming, but that leaves little room for many features that are found in comparable Bluetooth earbuds in this price range.

The first company to design an ear bud that feels comfortable while using a pillow wins a million dollars.
Million dollars ? That's barely the tip that Sony makes for a day
Sennheiser IEMs are the only ones that have come close for me
Aye.
AirPods already exist
日本ブランドの、寝ホンがめっちょいいよ
The ps5 slim doesn't have link built in? That seems like a huge oversight.
No way , seriously?
It does come with link adapter though, so it’s not a dealbreaker for a console that always sits there
@@supermitendo9654link adapter occupies one usb port though. If SONY wants to move link protocol forward, they should put more effort into it. At least make their own devices support it
@@shotan.jthis is the same company that doesn’t let you change the volume using their pro controller if you’re using their wireless headset….company that put airplane mode on a online only device
@@shotan.j port extender...
It would just be better if Sony releases a Bluetooth stick for us to connect any Bluetooth earbuds/headphones we want 😒
Then you wouldn’t buy theirs. 🤣
They exist, just not made by sony
Safe to say November is normally the best month for gaming but this year it's unbearable.
steam deck oled?
If you a rich person that buy all this expensive devices
@@afnan13122010 Even a poor person at least in usa could afford a steam deck if they save up.
Yeah if MW3 was the only game you wanted to get.
How's it unbearable?
$150 would be perfect price... 🔥
Or $125

@@MrDarkKornerna ya just broke asf 😂
I’ll give them tree fitty
@@fabolousjada5070nah you just waste money.
Yea let’s trust the guys that gave cyberpunk a perfect review on release day 😂
Just got mine, loving them so far!
do u have pulse 3d? Is it way better than pulse 3d?
Here's hoping the Pulse Elite turns out better :/
Here’s hoping you’re ever satisfied with ANYTHING ever….
@@CeeWorld69 u OK?
@@erroneousbotch4404 Everyone is ok, just not you lol
Will just wait for Sony wh branded earbuds with planar magnetic tech and hopefully ps Link. $300-350
Can you use these one at a time, like airpods, that also supports mic?
this is the best guy in the IGN team, love his reviews
Those things are huge.
Using a pillow awake or while sleeping? If sleeping then Bose Sleep Buds are amazing. They don’t play music they just have white noise tracks
Do this guy ever actually use the items he's reviewing? Never seen a picture or video of him using them.
He's a sony yes man.
But does the mute button on the controller mute the mic???
it does
mic test?
I’d be curious to see how these function with psvr2
Yeah same here
Should work great and not as bulky as the over ear models.
Knowing that it's compatible with mobile phones,Is it compatible with the PS4?
How is the PlayStation site already unavailable if these earbuds aren’t even out yet? Smh
Because they randomly became available for preorder on Nov 9th and the scalpers did their thing and bought them all up
After my pulse headset just stopped connecting to the dongle out of the blue, I’m in no hurry to give Sony even more money in this dept.
My ps4 platinum headset broke from hinge just after two weeks, huge waste of money
Have you tried doing a hard reset ?
Id rather get the new pulse headset coming out for $150
100% going to be way better than the Explore buds. I’ll probably just stick with my Pulse 3D and external usb mic combo TBH
What new headset
Excellent review, thank you.
SO do these sound better than the original pulse 3D wireless headset?
They def do considering they use planar magnetic drivers
The Inzone line are so much better in every way.
Nope, had them they sound amazing but the lack of connectivity with other items (phones, handhelds) without the dongle is a bust.
this guys hat makes him hard to take serious
Wtf is sony thinking smh
You should be marketing this to angry girlfriends. 😂
Im so happy ign hated these that means they are absolutely fantastic and Im going to buy them 🥳
7 out of 10 is bad?
Hated? Dude they gushed about them for the entire review, and anything remotely negative, they managed to say they followed it up with.. 'it's not that big a deal" or "we're unsure"
7/10
But there’s only 3 sizes on the screen aaaah 😱
All that and still got a 7
Do these work with ps4?
Air pods for PlayStation...
Milking them ponys😂
7gn you know the score
Roadhouse
$200 for these to work only with portal, which is also $200. Which neither will work if you haven’t already spent $600 on a PS5.
Time to max out my credit card and default.
Why wouldn’t a portal rely on a ps5? It’s a remote play device. It’s an accessory to ps5. To frame it as anything but an accessory for people that already have a ps5 is just silly
Nobody is buying a portal and shocked they had to buy a ps5. That’s like being shocked you have to have an iPhone when buying an Apple Watch
200??!!!!!
Firmware update maybe fix the problem
been waiting for this earbuds finally as hate headsets only like earbuds hope Xbox takes note does same then be happy 😊
$200 is ridiculous
But….Starfield
No video about the lawsuit?
Lawsuit is not important because you can’t fix poor people
@@ralphtaylor7448😂
Lawsuit?
Wonderful.
Does it work on ps4
Did he test with a ps4 ?
Sony is slowly turning into Apple 🤦🏻♂️
Dude they are n9 larger than anything else do y’all get drunk before doing reviews or are constantly complaining is because it’s the millennial way complain about everything
Looks like a next year Black Friday deal
That would be AMAZING!!! We’re not trying to get everything for an expensive price tag lol, sales are the way to go
Best sound for gaming we ever heard. 7/10.
Laughed way to hard at this great comment. 🤣🤣🤣😭😭
😆
“It comes with 4 tip sizes”
*shows 3 tip sizes*
Sony is definitely an innovation company. I've never seen planar magnetic drivers in something so small. I'm glad another company is making effort towards a new and potentially better low latency frequency. Besides Bluetooth. The tech is only going to get better from here. Love sony everything
agree 100%
Did they invent CD and bluray?
@@Bookish1995 They were instrumental in creating CDs with Phillips. And they did create Blu Rays. So...yes and yes.
There is IEM that have planar
Ever heard of 7hz timeless?
Why didn’t they have the foresight to include link in the updated PS5 replacement/slim? They must’ve had a release roadmap and known what they were releasing and when etc
That’s going to be in the PS5 3.0 which comes before the PS5 Pro.
So basically no test whatsoever on latency against its own Bluetooth connection or against any fast aptx Bluetooth buds. Gotta love the reviews these days.
If you got these, get new ear tips, you will thank me later, the ear tips provided are worhhless. If you get noice isolated eartips you will hear the bass much better and as well as the sound stage. They more you close out outside sound the better these sound, sony blew it when they delivered these with those cheap eartips. Get the Asla sedna earfits. They are amazing.
Nope.
On certain aspects of this review you also have to consider these were made for gaming specifically not for outdoors activities or to take on travel so the the lifespan of the charge is reasonable and the fact that it's a big case shouldn't matter because they're more for homebody people to use while gaming they can be used to take out but this was not the main purpose of these earbuds which people need to understand when it comes down to the style and size of the earbud
The problem is that these are technically the only earbuds that can work with the portal outside your home so yes it should be prepared for outdoor or out of home use if using your portal
@@91shawny so you can't use any other type of bluetooth headphones on it??
@@teddydelgado9968nope, not officially that I’ve seen, I’m still researching a workaround but because the portal has link instead of Bluetooth, you can’t use anything other than hardwired headphones or the pulse explore smh
You should've put a spoiler warning for Spider-Man 2, it hasn't been out that long. You do say it's comically larger than AirPods Pro for example but you don't show the difference in the video, don't even clarify if the advertised battery life is accurate and if you have tested it, utterly unprofessional.
The score is 7
7GN
Just preordered it. Sony got me (again).
Yikes
@@KONOSSEK how are they? What’s your opinion on them?
Would love an Sony Inzone earbuds review also. Or even a comparison one.
Can you do a review of the inzone buds ?
Hearing sounds he's never heard before sounds remarkable. How's it compare to the pulse headset though in sound quality?
These are some of the worst design produces that Sony has put out for along time. Sony Portal is a barely functional glorified tablet without basic features. Earbuds look big, unconformable, with weak batteries. Will see about the PULSE Elite.
Sony always puts out super weird and bulky looking earbuds. They all look so top heavy, not just these PlayStation branded ones.
inzone buds have weird bluetooth protocol which is not supported by 99% smartphones
A lot of reviewer aren’t talking about that and it’s a big oversight
Sony loves making proprietary jank
@@Tsukasa941bad review
All these complaints & it still gets a 7
This review is terrible and his voice is well out of tone, high pitch then back to normal, it's like he's just going through puberty.
Nice review, thank you. Does the USB dongle fit into the charge case or is it separately carried around?
Separated
No one has mentioned the poor distance connection. My pulse headphoes would stay connected at quite the distance from the PS5. You walk 5 feet from the PS5 with ear buds you lose connection. And the random disconnects are ridiculous. While brief. Its annoying. And the comfort level is poor IMO. Im a bit dissapointed.
"Some of the best detail reproduction we ever heard out of any earbuds ever in history of the universe" ... so let me tell you about this community called head-fi...
This headfi thing sounds complicated
But the 3-4hrs battery on a single charge is a deal breaker.
Take a break dude 😂
@@abcdefgh-hy9op spoken like a true boomer!
@@Pandemonium088get the pulse elite headset instead. It will be dope
A 30 min break per 4 hours = boomer ?@Pandemonium088
Charging $200 for earbuds with no noise cancelling is WILD
2 mins 11 seconds in and heard "for what it's worth" twice already.
no samples for mic....overall a bad review imo
Is there a way to mute yourself? Or will you have to go into the PS5 menu to mute yourself?
The button on the controller mutes you.
Could you compare with inzonebudz ?
I’ve seen a lot of complaints about the INZONE buds with the PS5. I’ve seen that mic quality sounds worse than the PS5 controller mic and the audio lacks almost any bass, and sounds poor altogether.
That mean, pulse explore is better than inzone buds right ?
IGN review 7/10
5 hours is a deal breaker for me, esp with no ANC that is some shite battery life.
Maybe the planar drivers take more energy than standard, but Maxwell are able to get 90h off a single charge.
As someone who plays an average 4hours a day is it worth the purchase? Kinda feel not
How you going to ask a question and then answer yourself😂
4 hours is a lot so yes
Everyday?
@@corrd3ll why not lol
I’m kind of leaning towards not based off what they said about the mic quality
Thinking the new pulse headset would be a better purchase and cheaper
Sony out here milking ppl
So whats better the Inzone buds or these? I’m interested in buying either one but want to know which is best.
Sound quality wise the planar magnetic drivers should be better, but battery life and comfort is better with the Inzone.
thanks for the spiderman spoiler
Why not just get the Inzone buds?
Wish the battery life was longer then 5 hours
Pretty useless imo 💀
IGN Playstation haters as always
4:12 mega man x in the background
No ANC for buds of this price is outrageous
True but at the same time. You won't be playing ps5 on a busy street are you?
Planar magnetic drivers are unheard of at this price point these are a steal in that regard
You wanting that because for some reason, you play games in a loud room is outrageous
Anc is like subway surfers on tiktok for earphones
They want you to be able to hear outside noise in your home while playing, like if you're getting robbed, you're family being massacred etc...
not worth the price
Just get a pair of astro A50 gen4 and never look back
I’ll never want earbuds over headphones for gaming, sorry
Yeah but only 5 hrs of battery for almoust 200 dlls no way
Can anyone tell me why mine disconnect a lot?
My left earbud works fine but the right one crackles a lot and disconnects very often.
Is that issue still going?
IGN is always just a little uncomfortable
Do y’all think Sony will license out the PlayStation Link tech for 3rd party companies? Not sure if this gen 1 series is the one for me considering the trade offs mentioned in the review
They work fine connecting to other bluetooth devices...sony is juzst using this to milk more money off the ps portal crowd.
Probably
Maybe to Steelseries or Astro
@@lemonlime8949 let’s goooo
how long does it take to charge the earbuds?
would recommend not putting the earbud all the way, it hurts if you use it for an extended period, while having just in place, works out well.
Wife got me some of these complete failure turned all the way up noise canceling on and can still hear everything around u. So disappointed with these
You can literally just use earbuds.
most co.fortable and best sounding headphones ever, 7/10
-IGN
They gave it a 7
This just looks silly, im sure quality is great, but design looks clunky asf just like ps5.
