I just bought one, tried it on my Mac with Thrift Shop playing using the audio cable. From just that, music sounds really good. It's clear, punchy, and offers great sound isolation. I'll try out the BassImpact after I find my charger. So far, very pleased with the product.
For those who are planning to buy this I'll just say.. Sound quality is AWESOME and its little "gimmick" of rumbling whenever theres bass really does improve the experience.. I can actually feel the impact of the bass... With that said, however, I've had these for about a year now and I've seen cracks developing on the sides where the plastic from the cups meets the headband.. and thats with me just using this on special occasions, where I need that extra Ooomph.. I did not use this headphones regularly and still these cracks developed.. So if you can handle this carefully.. it really is a good buy..
Yeah that happend to me the ear cups started to crack, and I was like WTF because I spend like 130 so I called sony send them the old ones, a week later got new ones and I sold them, they sound amazing, but the durability is awful....
i saw it yesterday and i got it today, tell you what i think. 1.) this is better than the first one. 2.) the bass depth is freakin' real. BASS and DEPTH. 3.) the design is slick. 4.) the sound quality is crystal clear. 5.) the battery life is i think much better than the first one that came out. 6.) this is heavier so youl feel somewhat pain in your head for hours of play because i lacks of padding. 7.) dont believe negative comments on this headset or you'll miss out something great.
The design looks awesome, and every configuration that you want can be made on the headset itself. All the switches are on there, so there's no need for another platform for the buttons and switches.
The mic is on the right ear cup. Yes we can talk. Yes it can be connected to any smartphone/laptops/mp3/ipods/ETC via 3.5 mm aux cable (included in the box) these are awesome for gaming & for listing songs especially when the bass is full. I definitely recommend these headsets to everyone.
yes, it can be used wired into any device with a 3.5 mm jack, even powered off. if it is powered on you can use bass impact mode, but 7.1 is only ps3. it can even be used wirelessly with 3.5 mm jack, by plugging the included double ended cord into your device, and then into the powered usb dongle.
I grabed these like a week before they came out just because bought them on ebay and I even got it for 20 $ less and let me tell you these are amazing my friends tell me these sound better then beats or any headsets I mean seriously guys they are incredible I use these everyday to watch movies listen to my music on the go I got my galaxy s3 rooted and installed the beats engine app and trust me theses blow any beats headsets out of the water..no1 believes they that good until I show them.
Bought these a couple days ago, I originally wanted to get the older model but futureshop was sold out, so I got these ones for 50$ more. These are definitely a good choice in my opinion. Haven't talked much online but when I did the other could hear me great, they're extremely comfortable. I played 8 hours earlier and I didn't get irritated from them. The sound and base is amazing. The battery averages about 9-10 hours before recharge is required. THERE IS A MIC, but it's built into the side.
I don't know how many people know this: There is a newer version of this headset out. I just got one through an official Sony product channel and the first thing I noticed was that the box is different and no longer has the Pulse logo on it. The box now says at the bottom "For PS4, PS3, & PS Vita" to make it clear which systems can use the headset. The old packaging was outdated. The second difference is on the sides. There are no words on the glossy part and it's just the Playstation logo in the middle.
The best headset I ever use, the bass impact is tickling my brain it feels so good! and you can adjust it. Not only for PS3, you can use it on every device. highly highly recommended.
I purchased this headset last week...great design, I'm enjoying it so far. I don't have much experience with gaming headsets, but from my time with this one it's decent enough. However I would only recommend this headset if you are strictly a PS3 and/or Vita gamer obviously...it's compatible with PC as well, but if you have the extra cash and play on multiple platforms you should go with an Astro, Turtlebeach, etc.
Yes, The headset will work on phones with 3.5mm headphone jacks. 3.5 is pretty much standard in all smartphones. Not sure if you mean listening to music from phone, and gaming on the ps3 simultaneously.
It's a small opening on the bottom of the left ear cup. Its quality could be better, but it cancels noise very well. I have one btw and would definitely recommend it.
Thank you and when i bought it at gamestop they told me that it will work on ps4 just to let know to people that are waiting for a ps4 headset to come out. I recommend this headset :)
yes i am using my ps3 pulse surround sound wireless headset on my PC right now. All you need to do is plug in the usb into your pc, turn on your headset after it's been plugged in, and then there you go.
Good Review - I bought these. It takes a while to get used to where the sliders are when the headset is on. This headset also has a sidetone where you can hear your voice, but its very low. Also be very careful putting them on and off, as I hear they are prone to cracking. But for the price they are a fantastic wireless headset
A Is For Apple This is the best headset I have ever had. Put them on carefully all the time as they can crack. Don't forget to turn them off and recharge when your finished using them. They're class
Great headset for ps3 its mandatory lol you can use it for music too sounds good and you can use it to talk on the phone too connect the cord with it to your phone amd the sound quality is amazing id rather have these than beats audio 150 for a very awsone top of the line product hopefully they make the new one for ps4 much better
Yes they work with all consoles , i use mine with my phone at work and if u whant wireless to any phone hook up the transmiter to an external phone battery and you can answer and speak with the headset
The Pulse headset is way better than the P11, and I mean WAY better. P11 was my first ever headset, and I decided to upgrade to the Pulse headset, and the difference is crazy. Also, since it's wireless, there's no long ass wire that you have to hide.
You can use the controller charger cord,as all ps3s come with one(or two like mine)they didn't put a cord in the box,because if your buying the headset then they're most likely for ps3 and the console already has the appropriate charger cable.
I have the other version of this by Sony. Basically the same but without the 3.5 and Bass switch. This looks cooler and I would recommend getting this.
It should, I have the previous generation of Sony's wireless gaming headsets and I use it for both my PS3 and PC. Just plug in the USB into one of your computers USB ports and it should install the drivers for it on its own.
It has a hidden one that is VERY sensitive on the left earcup, it has a hole in that earcup which is the mic, it doesn't just stick out and get in the way
Yes you can, and I've walked up to 15 feet without any disruption at all. Haven't really tried any further because I don't have line of sight after 15 feet. However the voice/sound slider does not function on the PC. The preset sound modes are only configurable on the PS3, but nonetheless it's a great headset.
I fin love these headphones !!! They literally made me 3 times better on COD .. chatting is clear and they hear me clear as well .. when used with the 3.5 mlm jack on ur phone it sounds as good or even better than the beats studios . I love them !!!!
i own the a50's and my friend owns these personally i think the a50's have a much more premium feel. what i mean is they are made from stronger meterials and dont feel so plastic. the speakers also are better quality (50mm)
I was thinking about getting studio headphones but I think ill get these due to the versatility and not look dumb with them on since the mic is built in. Pretty nice
this headphones rock. the only bad thing i could say is let's say if you wanna use it on your ipod you have to turn it on. i thought the on and off switch is just for the bluetooth. if you're planning to use the cable you still have to turn it on. it's an all around headset it works on your ps3, tv , pc, ipod. and IMO this headset > beats headphones.
They don't 'make you', the dongle is calibrated to that specific headset, they can't send out another because it won't work. Yes it does absolutely suck, but they aren't forcing you and if you're within warranty you'd probably get a replacement.
"This headset features a hidden microphone design. The noise cancelling dual microphone array provides high quality voice chat similar to the previous Wireless Stereo Headset." quoted from the playstation website.
you are correct however the playstation 3 can only support 5.1 audio meaning if you buy either the Astros or the Sonys for your console only then you are getting pretty much the same sound quality that the playstation will allow you to have
Please extend the life of these headphones by grabbing onto the bottom of the headband in order to place/remove for head instead of the ear pads as their will be less stress on that bridge of grey plastic where it can "possibly" crack. An awkward way to do this, because it's a weak point and eventually can happen to all, don't worry about the stressing the headband by stetching it can do it with no reported defects for this. Mine has no cracks and probably never will because of this and I see only pressure is on wearing which is very little. You can also stretch the headband to fit your head more comfy by putting a ps3/xbox game case in between the headband two ear cups, as it will stretch it gradually over time via break-in, difference is night and day. I'm not saying anyones will crack, but preventative maintenance is better than risking it. To all , spread the word. Save the cans!
The only problem I have with this headset is how fragile the band is below the silver circle. No matter how delicately you treat it, you will begin to see cracks where it stretches while you put it on your head -- I own one.
Looks good but doesnt seem any different from the older model, it's just more slim and less bulky like the older one. Debating on whether I should get this or just keep using the old one.
Note this headset features virtual 7.1 surround sound. It's emulated and not actually true 7.1 surround sound. Sony did this to keep the headset at an affordable price tag.
It will work with the ps4, Sony had already announced that a couple of months back. The headset that come with it is i like to say "mono-bud". Or 1 budded headset
Just listened to this video with them, absolutely incredible, if u guys want my opinion, its 10/10 much better than 2011 versión and Also u can use it with otther devices by 3.5mm cable
few questions 1) can you charge them and use them at the same time. 2) if so is it uncomfortable? 3) how long is the battery life, really want to know becuase im wired at the moment and i have my head phones on me almost all day 4) you said you can use the audio jack to use the with your PSP or Vita, does that mean that they can get power from the mobile device or does it use the head phones battery?
people tend to watch videos off things they don't own.. so if you unbox/review something expensive more people will watch the video.. which means more views which means more money earned..
Hey thanks for the great video, I am just wondering if they are comfortable or not, unlike the old ps3, I read few reviews complaining that after using it for 2 hours or less their ears starts to hurt,
Just bought this in mint condition for $40 @ a pawn shop!!! 🔊
Does it work on the ps5
@@KingDavidButler It works off a usb bluetooth receiver so it would work. Works on my Xbox Series S as well👌🏽
@@KingDavidButlerI too would like to know
I got this headset, I use it for everthing. Gaming, Music, andd editing. The Bass Impact vibrates the entire headset which is so sick. Nice vids

Still the best Sony's gaming headset.
Thank you! I have been looking for Unboxings all over youtube and who has it? You do! My favorite youtuber!!!
just bought these and omg the amount of bass is INSANE!

Would love to own this headset. Anyway great vid Stu
Yeah all headsets new and old will work as the controller has a 3mm jack hole and it has a usb slot at the back of the ps4 ^^
Stop asking! The mic is built inside the headset, it sounds crystal clear don't worry! 8.8/10
It has a built in mic. I have heard that its bad. but i'll give it a try.

This Is A Pretty Decent Unbox Video And All... But How Does It Sound In Comparison With The Older Model?
It's a hidden mic, this improves its noise cancelling ability.
You do the best unboxings you should unbox the astro a40s please and thank you!
I got them a week ago and its true its an amazing headset but it sort squeezes your head. I'm gonna see if it just needs breaking in.
Go on Sony's website. I just ordered my Elite editions from there. Also, Amazon.
few questions 1) can you charge them and use them at the same time. 2) if so is it uncomfortable? 3) how long is the battery life, really want to know becuase im wired at the moment and i have my head phones on me almost all day 4) you said you can use the audio jack to use the with your PSP or Vita, does that mean that they can get power from the mobile device or does it use the head phones battery?
Lew, please also unbox and provide a full in depth review of the upcoming Platinum headset by Sony.
Yes. USB 3.0 ports are backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices.
its embedded into the left earcup. apparently its really good.
Thanks, So you think i should go for these over the trittons?
people tend to watch videos off things they don't own.. so if you unbox/review something expensive more people will watch the video.. which means more views which means more money earned..
This is an amazing headset I have a pair and I think u should really buy it it's worth it
Yes it does, he said it had a noise cancelling mic.
Hey thanks for the great video, I am just wondering if they are comfortable or not, unlike the old ps3, I read few reviews complaining that after using it for 2 hours or less their ears starts to hurt,
compared this to the PlayStation Wireless Stereo Headset which do you prefer?
you need to go into the accessory settings to set the mic output
