‘I wish they had more bass’. I initially said the same thing, but after consistently using them now for about a week, both for gaming, phone, music, watching movies, etc. I can safely say that I’m actually liking the fact that I’m not drowning in bass, I can hear more of the highs and mids that I was missing with other bass heavy headsets, and I had subwoofers installed in all my cars for 20+ years.
I ordered this because of 1 feature. The ability to have both Bluetooth and the PS5 audio at the SAME EXACT TIME. The Xbox wireless headset does this too and its the reason I love that headset but obviously never had this option for Sony. Now you can listen to a podcast on youtube or whatever while playing a game on PS5 at the same time. Its a killer feature IMO.
FYI just got mine and its a beast. The most comfortable headset I've owned and I own the Kraken V3 Pro, the Xbox Razer Kaira Pro, the Xbox wireless headset and the regular Pulse 3D. This is my new favorite. Its not cheap feeling like the regular Pulse 3D pro either. It's much more quality materials and the ear cups are so soft! My one complaint is I wish the ear cups were slightly bigger since I have big ears. I can still fit inside of them but I feel for someone who may have bigger ears than me. Also, when the cups go over your ears the block out noise is insane! 9.5/10 so far.
I remember helping you test out one of the PS4 Gold Headset mic in party chat back in the day, hearing the clicks when you would turn it up/down through the mic slightly. Man time flies. These look awesome.
@@Accountshare-q1i luckily for me after I posted this I went out to my garbage to see if the box was there and at least reachable, it was and I was able to grab that piece 😂. They really should put that in a better spot
Being able to actually use the sound controls on ps5 sold me on it. It’s gonna be so much more convenient pressing the mute button on the controller, or using the edge to adjust the party mix and sound.
I ordered a pair for my 42nd birthday to myself tomorrow. Can’t wait to hear those new magnetic planar speakers. Not sure how I feel about the way the head band extends past the rear of the earphones though.
Owned these but ended up buying the pulse explore for overall comfort, so I returned them. Came across a pair on mercari for $50 great condition and I couldn't resist.
Another huge selling point is LOSSLESS audio connection with the PlayStation link. Highest quality of audio from your audio source to your headset. As good or sometimes even better than wired.
I would definitely like to see a comparison between this and the Inzone H9. I love my H9 mainly because of how comfortable it is, but if the Elite is a clear upgrade I might have to consider switching.
Yes it works with it. No reason why it wouldn’t. I believe you can even control the chat/game mix audio with the Fn button instead of pulling it up under the control center/quick menu.
Hi, first, I'd like to say thank you for such an in-depth review. I would like to ask one question: in your opinion, is the bass similar, better, or worse than the original Pulse 3Ds? Thank u so much.
I am so happy that they have softer, more comfortable ear foam because the last ones were hard and so uncomfortable for me, especially wearing think framed glasses
Great review. I actually used double sided tape and mounted it on the inside of my cabinet. If I did not have that I would buy a stand and fix it up or just wait for a 3rd party stand like you said.
New subscriber. How does the bass compare with the previous version? Im not a bass heavy person, so as long as there is enough bass for gaming, thats all I care about.
My own mounting solution until I can permanently place it is double sided 3M pull tape, it’s currently taped to the edge of my desk on the bottom. Right now I’m watching this video while using this headset on my phone, at work, eating lunch.
Great review Judner, why don't you use 3M command hanging strips for the Pulse elite hook for your existing headphones stand or to use anywhere ? Will Sony being updating the V1 pulse with the planar drivers or use them in future 1000XM flagship range.
Would you suggest these headphones if you already have the PlayStation Pulse PS5 launch headphones? Is this a must upgrade or if you have no headphones get these instead?
We need a top headset shootout, elites vs Maxwell vs nova pro vs Astro a50x light speed vs Logitech x2 vs stealth pro vs A-Rise. Maybe three categories, single player winner vs fps winner and best overall
I love mine I have my industrial pierced almost a decade now and the pulses would make it super sore, these ones are so comfortable and can sit ontop of my head without giving a headache. Not to mention how good they sound and the AI technology built in! Cheers 🎉
Here’s two questions I have regarding the Pulse Elite headsets. 1. How do they compare to using a pair of Active Noise Cancelling headphones like Beats Studio Pro for example. Are they better or worse or just about the same? 2. Since you mentioned that the Pulse Elite can connect to any Bluetooth device as well as your PlayStation 5 like a mobile phone, does this also extend to other devices that support Bluetooth like a Nintendo Switch for example? 3. How does this compare to the Pulse Explore earbuds in terms of sound and audio quality and other features like a button to turn up and down the volume via the headphones/earbuds?
Why is there a long type-C Cable? Should I connect the cable to both the console and joystick to get all the features_ mainly the 3D sound? What is the use of this long cable?
Is there a way to make the mic on the headset better? Not sure if it was just me, but it sounded quite a bit muddier than I'd like unless the noise cancellation can be turned off and increase the gain on the headset
16% of amazon reviews are the same issue, "disconnects". Why was this not addressed? It seems to happen more on day one consoles but also on the newest model. Disabling 2.4ghz router band does not help much. Nor using a dock. This is a big deal and none of you reviewers covered this big issue.
Please can you test with PSVR2 to see if it still fits as well as the pulse 3d did? The pulse 3d helped keep the PSVR2 headset from falling down and fit snuggly on the head.
Thanks for the review! They are Great value for money! I was worried I made a mistake with getting the Maxwell. I love bass in single player games and the Maxwell have plenty! seems like I would have been a little disappointed with the elites in that regard. I also hate “bright” headsets and other reviewers seem to mention the higher frequencies need knocking down a little, which is why I also sold my novas.
The only con that I'd give is the lack of a metal frame. The plastic frame is going to eventually get micro cracks that will eventually snap. The ear cup material looks like the kind that will crack up and peel. Listening to that 1 person in the lobby that is eating and drinking loudly... 🤣 I think it would make sense to do a comparison video with the Inzone headphones. Beside audio quality, another important aspect for me is the build quality. The materials used, how durable they are, etc.

you DO NOT want bass with video games....

what games do you play? i own the 3d pulse and was super underwhelmed. are these way better for footsteps and other sounds? :)

I remember that! Thanks for your help back then bro 👊🏾
hell yeah that 12th unboxing grab on the snacks time flies.... \
Do i need them, NO. Do i want them, YES!

Get them
Use a double-sided adhesive pad for the mount :-)
Bruh, he is literally fishing hard for criticism. Like he is complaining that they even gave him a mount, cause now he doesn't know where to put it.🙄
@@ljeans531 you sound like you're one of his haters bro lmao, he was glazing the product basically the entire time
😂 gonna have to myself I didn’t see the video so I didn’t see that part of the mount and tossed my box 😭
@@starkraven1148ooof. I saw the support but didn’t see the plastic bit that you put on the wall. Luckily I didn’t toss my box 😂

Finding these to have impressive crisp and detail. Never heard anything like it before. Happy with them
How do they feel after 5 months
Always the first channel i check for PlayStation stuffs
If it wasn’t for this video I never would’ve found the mounting piece 😭 thank you
Lmfao I just seen that to just coped one today
where can i find one of this mounting piece ? Thanks
@@Casper-os4gw

Your level of video editing is actually nuts.
Do you prefer this over Explore ? I found wearing the Explore is not as comfortable. Also very tricky to get a good sound. Any thought ?

@@StarboyXO_ won’t be here till tomorrow I’ll let you know tho.
@@dr.chungusphd108how was it?
@@Mexicutioner-lj3ct I like them. Much better than the original.

I want to see the comparison with those other headphones
Owned these but ended up buying the pulse explore for overall comfort, so I returned them. Came across a pair on mercari for $50 great condition and I couldn't resist.
Wonder how these compare to the Inzone H9
From where did you buy this stand? 3:32

Don’t use a screw, use that 3M tape that can stick to the wall without damaging your paint job. I forget what it’s called but they sell it in target.
I got you my brother its command strips
@@itsreallynotkris yes! Thank you!
I would definitely like to see a comparison between this and the Inzone H9. I love my H9 mainly because of how comfortable it is, but if the Elite is a clear upgrade I might have to consider switching.
Isn't the H9 like $300? I doubt it'll be better given it's half the price
@byiihizq Thank you!
But Inzone doesn't support PS Link, right?
Hey urAverageConsumer loved the review only question i have is does the pulse elite work with the duelsense edge?
Yes it works with it. No reason why it wouldn’t. I believe you can even control the chat/game mix audio with the Fn button instead of pulling it up under the control center/quick menu.
How did you get yours before release? You must have some super connections!
How are these compared to H9 inzone? In terms of sound quality which sound better?
These have planar magnetic drivers which makes me think these sound better (the sonys have regular dynamic ones)
Clean review my homie
Also jay didn’t mention.. you can actually charge a ps5 controller on the charger stand that comes with the headset.
Okay so is it worth upgrading from the pulse 3D’s then? You say they are the best but how much better?
Seems like they are tbh
Are the ear cups bigger than the originals? I hate the pulse ear cups because they tested on my ears and not over them.
@3:27 why not give us a link to where you bought that clear stand? idk why you didn’t.
Hi, first, I'd like to say thank you for such an in-depth review. I would like to ask one question: in your opinion, is the bass similar, better, or worse than the original Pulse 3Ds? Thank u so much.
Double side sticky tape would go a long ways for that mount
To the ps5 I’m assuming
What's that stand you have for the Portal? I'm desperate for one!
I am so happy that they have softer, more comfortable ear foam because the last ones were hard and so uncomfortable for me, especially wearing think framed glasses
Are they comfortable with glasses because I wear glasses and sometimes is hard wearing headphones
Hey bro, new to your channel but loved the content and the edits, good work!
I own the PULSE 3D and it still works great but is this one that much better?
Please do a Pulse Elite being used with the VR2🤔
GETTING MY ELITE NEXT WEDNESDAY 🔥 🔥 🔥
Worth it?
@@DORAisD34D OBVIOUSLY 10/10
I had no idea there was adhesive at the bottom this is the single most unintuitive box ever imo
Been waiting on this video 🔥🔥
Great review. I actually used double sided tape and mounted it on the inside of my cabinet. If I did not have that I would buy a stand and fix it up or just wait for a 3rd party stand like you said.
Dooope unboxing KING,just brought these yesterday along with a cosmic red controller 🔥🔥🔥👍👍💯
Did you have problems because of the call or not?
My question is, pulse elite earcups wider than the original pulse 3d? They sat on my ear, not over like Turtle Beach.
That's exactly what I want to know. The smaller ear cups made the original pulse impossible to wear.
What about the 3D sound or spatial recognition?
New subscriber. How does the bass compare with the previous version? Im not a bass heavy person, so as long as there is enough bass for gaming, thats all I care about.
Which one do you prefer, Pulse elite or Arctis Nova 7p? Thanks!
No contest planar drivers in elite far superior
Great review, can you mute the headset on the Dualsense?
Yeah you can!
Loved the review and just copped a pair but BRO! Where did you get that PS Portal dock?!
been waiting on you to post this review
Gotta get myself a pair!
Super legit review. Just got mine today
My own mounting solution until I can permanently place it is double sided 3M pull tape, it’s currently taped to the edge of my desk on the bottom.
Right now I’m watching this video while using this headset on my phone, at work, eating lunch.
For the hanger just use double sided tape under a desk instead
great review!
Should have spoke about using them on a pc. And performance using the 3.5mm jack.
Curious if the mic works while retracted, or if it has to be pulled out?
Is that distortion for high volume still an issue as of right now?
Great review Judner, why don't you use 3M command hanging strips for the Pulse elite hook for your existing headphones stand or to use anywhere ?
Will Sony being updating the V1 pulse with the planar drivers or use them in future 1000XM flagship range.

Not if the leather is gonna peel off just like the regular ones.
We need a top headset shootout, elites vs Maxwell vs nova pro vs Astro a50x light speed vs Logitech x2 vs stealth pro vs A-Rise. Maybe three categories, single player winner vs fps winner and best overall
Then you’ll want to check out gadgetry tech (he does that comparison)
I love mine I have my industrial pierced almost a decade now and the pulses would make it super sore, these ones are so comfortable and can sit ontop of my head without giving a headache. Not to mention how good they sound and the AI technology built in! Cheers 🎉
Can hang the the headset hanger with just a command strip btw!
Idk if I'd trust the weight but definitely an option worth looking into.
@@UrAvgConsumercommand makes products that can hold 50 pounds. I’m sure there’s a solution there for the headset.
Very insightful, I was thinking of either getting this or the Logitech headphones
Damn the Mic sounds a lot better than the old one, and the Noise Cancellation is top tier-
It looks like magnetos helmet
In regards to the bass, can’t you just change the EQ now in the ps5?
What do you recommend overall as your best PS5 headset still haven’t purchased anything yet but definitely in the market for the best headset!
Really good review thanks
How would these compare to the SteelSeries arctics 7p?
Yes can you please do a comparison with both headsets‼️‼️
I preordered these. Shame to hear there isn’t more bass. Honestly though, the battery life is worth the upgrade alone.
Goin crazy in the firing range brodie

What about the leather peeling back less than a year of use? Was this addressed is the real question. Gonna go back to A50s
40 seconds in the video and you made my day, was gonna throw the box, didn’t know it had a charging hanger 😭🥹
I really don't understand how Sony didn't tought to make possible to attach the mount directly to the PS5.
Do you know if they fit well with the psvr2?
Funny u said that about opening the box cuz i just got mine yesterday and it was a pain to open it!
I'd love to see a comparison between the inzones and the pulse.
Hey UrAvgConsumer! Was that mic test done paired over Bluetooth to your recording gear or via the PS Link USB dongle?
Are the ear cuffs supposed to wiggle or no
my OG pulse is on life support, need these asap
Which display you are using?
Can you have both PlayStation and Bluetooth connected? Is the mute button on the controller still disabled?
That box shouldn't have made me so upset. At least you found that pull tab. I pulled everything but that
Can you do a comparison between Dualsense Edge vs PlayStation Access controller who performs better
Hey Avg. How would you compare these to the h7/h9 headsets?
Would people recommend these over the Steelseries nova pro wireless?
I need a mic test vs the inzone h7/h9
uravgconsumer has above average music taste. lil wayne and future. he knows ball
Please can you test with PSVR2 to see if it still fits as well as the pulse 3d did? The pulse 3d helped keep the PSVR2 headset from falling down and fit snuggly on the head.
What no one mentioning is that the earpads are glued, so you cant replace them when the pleather earpads wears out.
You're right, because that's what happened to my original PS5 head set.
