It's hardly mid-range here in Canada it set me back $225 after taxes but the audio quality is far superior to the cheaper Pulse headset.

@@MichaelLemosKilluminati5176_ we get killed on the exchange rate that's why the big price difference, the Canadian buck is only worth 73 cents US. Believe it or not we don't even have it as bad as other countries.
Because Sony own Maxwell. They limited volume and quality on all non Sony headsets. It's disgusting but it's true. How can a pulse be better than astro a50 or nova pro wireless? Obviously it's nowhere near but they Limit all competition and yes the pulse sounds far better.
I just got it thursday and has been using it since. Its by far the best headset ive ever worn and the audio is sooooo clean i hear no latency or distortions
Had first gaming session with it last night. Sound definitely lives up to the hype but in about a 4 hour session it disconnected randomly twice and both times I had to unplug the link dongle and resync it again. I do have a ps5 slim so the usb-a ports are located in the back. I noticed the dongle was fairly warm with the fan directly blowing on the location of the ports (stupid design). Hoping it’s not a trend.
I had this happen to me as well. I was playing Persona and it just randomly disconnected and it wouldn’t want to sync back unless I unplug the link adapter. So far that’s my only complaint about it but other than that everything is great, I hope maybe they can fix this in a patch update.
@@chefman470 yeah I was very discouraged at first but then it didn’t do it again for the last 2ish hours I played. So hoping it was just a bug. The heat of the dongle from being plugged into the usb-a port in the back of the slim is somewhat worrying though. May have to get a usb-a to c adapter to avoid damaging the ps link
I'm having the same issue, it's annoying because I've got no complaints about them. The sound quality is incredible and you ensured a quality product especially when it's got the “Sony” branding on it. I’ve read multiple threads on twitter and Reddit and thousands of people are having the same issue, the headset just randomly disconnects without reason. Hopefully sony fixes the issue with a simple fix because I’m on the verge of sending them back.
@@WillIsTheGaffa yeah I told myself I’d give them another week cause I have the 30 day return window. If they continue to do it I’ll definitely be returning them. Like you said though, if that issue is fixed I would highly recommend them. The quality seems great for the price tag
@@Domski8 I will most likely do the same thing. It’s just a shame because despite everyone dunking on the bass on the headphones they are a really good peace of kit.
If you go online you can buy a clip so it will connect on the side of your ps5. It can also connect to your phone while you game if you want to listen to music while you game.
The fact that EVERY review no one mentions use with the PSVR2 has me worried. I own the pulse explore earbuds and the L one always disconnects at some point during gameplay with using PSVR2, yet fine without…. I want to know if this headset has any issues AND I want to know how they fit with the headset. Do they go on first then the headset or vice versa?
I use the MG20 headphones@@WanderFeetChronicles you put the PSVR2 on, then headset over that. if you put it on from the back, you dont have to open it up as much.
Press and hold the power/ link button for 8 seconds. It will make different sounds to confirm what it’s doing. When I got them out the box first thing I did was connecting it to the phone. It was very easy. If you in your phone Bluetooth’s settings already, just press the button till you see PULSE Elite showing up. Audio from Bluetooth will be controlled by phone only. volume buttons on headphones will only control the volume to what it’s connected via dongle. Remember if you in a game session with people in chat, and you take a call on your phone everyone will hear you.
My Pulse 3D cup pleather wore out and flaked real bad but I was able to replace the cups with new ones. It’s not looking like this is an option with my Elites, bit concerning
Can you make a video going through if it works with Xbox series x and all the features it supports and doesn't support on Xbox? I want to use the headset for both consoles
Mine keeps disconnecting from my ps5 and i have to do a full reset to get them working again. Also the h9 mic sucks, it will pick up everything even on the lowest mic volume setting. Sound is good though
@markbarnes2308 I did a full wipe of the headset and dongle so my phone can be unpaired and that seemed to fix it. It might be an issue with the Bluetooth and dongle being paired at the same time
Just got these today. EXTREMELY uncomfortable if you’re using PSVR2. If you put them over the headset there is a big gap allowing sound in and the sound is horrible. With it under the headset the sound is astonishing but the headset pushes the ear cups into your ear and it hurts within about 30 minutes. They do sound unbelievably awesome though. If you’re not using PSVR, I suppose they’d be ok. Problem is they slide all over the place while on your head. I tilted my head forward and back just a little and they moved a lot. You’ll be making a lot of adjustments while playing. Guess I’ll Be trying out the Pulse earbuds next. If they don’t work, it’s back to my $30 Amazon headphones which are extremely comfortable and sound decent enough.
To connect to your PS5 you DO need the ‘PS Link’ dongle. For connecting to a mobile device it just connects through Bluetooth and does not require anything more than just the headset and the device. Hope that helps!😊
Such a shame how limited ps5 is for audio! Hate it. Wanted the nova pro wireless as my mate got one but on ps5 it sounds no better than my 7 when i borrowed it! Dont get any of the decent audio features at all. Saved money but disappointed!
I just bought them and was so hyped to finally get them and test them out. I was disappointed mainly with the sound quality. Too loud with a crispy cheap sound quality that makes your guns sounds like a joke. The original 3D pulse are better. Plus the bass when flying down from blackout or war zone sounds like your bass is blown out so bad. Smh. I want another platinum or to try zone h9.
It took me 2hr just to get them to pair they sound like shit when I Bluetooth them to my phone and they cut in and out about ten times in 5hr of game play when in game it sounds pretty clear
If anyone sees this go and unsubscribe from this channel if subscribed as well as disliking all of this youtuber's videos if possible. The reason why is due to him bringing a PlayStation 5 slim that was not yet released in his area ( UK ).
Has anyone got a decent EQ settings, I couldn’t wait for this headset but when I tried it last night I was honestly so disappointed, I mainly play cod and my god they sound awful, I can’t hear anything, I’ve tried different combinations but all really sounds the same,
I disagree about the aux cable. It's a quality headset supplied with a wall charger and another charging cable at an affordable price if you add the aux the price would be bumped up
This dude has major issues with the most mundane things 😂 Losing microphones if they are not connected to a headset and extreme difficulty putting and taking out earbuds. 😂
I had the pulse elite for 1 day and returned it. Here's why: 1 the lack of bass, there's no bass at all only highs and mids. 2 the comfort, they are uncomfortable and don't feel right. 3 the ratteling noise of the earcups, they are to lose and feel so weak. 4 the random disconnecting, they loos connection couple times every hour. 5 the lights on the headset are in the vision of the player. 6 they are not fit good with the psvr2. 7. No replaceable ear pads. Save your money and buy another headset!!

You forgot to mention the hanger accessory will charge controllers as well
Cool video, thanks for it. I would love to see how the new Pulse Elite works with the PSVR2, so far I could not find any reviewer testing it.
I’m looking for the same.. all these reviews and no one thought of trying them with the psvr2 ?

I have a question: How do you know it's fully loaded? when charging elite headphones
Same as other accessories. It will have the orange color while charging. If no light it’s charged.
You can buy a usb-c to usb-a adapter to use the ports in front of the PS5
I’m new, what does that mean?
lmao. i have the charging hook on my wall using 3m command strip. no issues. you don’t have to drill a hole in your wall
I have it the mic is absolutely amazing and 3d sound, I git it yesterday at gamestop and bro it kicks ass
does it constantly disconnect?
@@theexmillers some days it's kind of annoying
I'll trust a review from someone who bought the product than when a corporation sends it to them. Thank you 👍

Here I'm with my og PS3 Pulse Elite fully functional and fully compatible with my PS5.
Sh$t sucks. Returned them because they disconnected mid game and would leave the squad hanging mid match.

Unfortunately it doesn't, PlayStation headsets only work for PlayStation consoles
@@offonion2524 it should work via the headphone jack no?
It does via the headphones jack can't change eq or use 3d sound haven't tried it with blue tooth to Xbox but jt works. Series x and ps5 and cell phone
If you want better immersion, but don’t know how to configure EQs, just go with the bass boost.
Why
Fo better extension of bass. Like the rumbling sounds from cars, for exemple.@@Damnitgary

i should've waited and got these instead of the earbuds. i don't care for the ear buds, gets uncomfortable after about 30 minutes.
Anyone notice the drip, mans casually switching Dior to Gucci
I tried them, returned them. Not bad but didn’t feel it was an upgrade from my Corsair virtuoso xt
I'm thinking of getting this as my Steelseries Arctis 1 battery is going am I better get the Pulse Elite or the Upgraded version of my Steelseries
Does it connect to your console and phone without the usb dongle? If so thats just insanely good

Are these good for movies?
Is it louder than the pulse 3d? The pulse 3 was too low
These and the pulse 3d have a volume button to turn them up and down

Can I have a console I am from sa😊
What went through the creators mind to make everything White as default? Black should have been default and White after market
i think they wanted to switch up the aesthetic for the ps5 versus the past consoles which were predominantly black.
@@FiveDrexler no one asked for white console though
I would recommend Curology tretanoin solution for the cystic acne on your neck. It would resolve it.
