Pulse Explore PS5 Earbuds Unboxing & In-Depth Review: Think Twice Before Buying

  • Sony has spent a lot during the PS5 generation expanding the audio experience for game developers and consumers. On the consumer side, there's been the Pulse 3D headset and the Pulse Elite, but there's also the Pulse Explore. Wireless earbuds that support lossless audio quality on Sony's new PlayStation Link protocol. For PlayStation 5 owners that want a high quality in-ear option that can also support PC, mobile, and the PS Portal, this is your only option. So let's ask the question: are they worth it? And will I finally be able to work it? Surely if I can put my thing down, then I might just be able to reverse it as well.

      Consoles haven't supported blutooth forever because its terrible for gaming and requires regular updates. Xbox doesn't even use blutooth. Thats why every gaming headset has 2.4ghz dongles for wireless support. Switch added it eventually and its also terrible and Ive never seen people use it. For gaming, the only options are wired or 2.4ghz.

      He'll call out Xbox and be highly critical of their shit byt when its PS doing the same if not worse, he'll let PS slid and even find a way to excuse it. He's not as bad as say MBG but he's not far off...

    I’ve been blown away by just how bad the connection issues have been since I got mine a few weeks ago. I got these in part because I wanted rock solid connectivity and figured Sony buds made specifically for the PS5 would be the best bet. Was I ever wrong. Can’t believe buds that cost this much can have this bad of a problem staying connected. Half expecting a recall to be announced any day now, but somehow I doubt it.

    To each his own. These buds are fire, and I've owned them around a month and haven't had any disconnect issues period. The sound of the planar drivers are amazing and yes, I also had the pulse elites also, but opted to stay with these because of the ease of use with the psvr2. I get up to 6 hours of battery life on a single charge and it only takes 40 minutes to fully charge them again. No regrets at all!

    Got nothing ear 2s for confort and quality on the go, and for gaming the hyperX cloud alpha, a great half wireless? Headset in a budget.

    @ArcadianGenesis 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    I have both the Pulse Explore earbuds and the Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds, and the Pulse Explores are honestly better. The XM4s have far *worse* issues with disconnecting. The Pulse Explores are much more stable, and also more versatile with the dual-band connection (PS Link + Bluetooth).
    I also prefer the earbud tips on the Pulse Explore. They're smaller than the XM4 tips, which I *thought* was going to be a problem for my large ears, but somehow they stay in my ears more securely while being more comfortable than the XM4s.
    I highly recommend these for PS Portal users. Between the Portal, the PS5 itself, your smartphone, and your PC, that's four different use cases you can take advantage of.

    My brother got a pair of these at its launch and so far he's had many issues that he's told me about for one since day one. He was unable to pair them to his PS portal although able to pair them to his PS5 and cell phone. Also, after update on the PS portal he said he was able to pair them occasionally but still not consistent connection. Third, as of just last week he's told me that his charging case no longer charges his headphones and had to call Sony about replacing. So I'd say although they are a dope product, they still aren't quality controlled to the point. I could recommend getting a pair just yet. Also the case is huge in my opinion so I don't own a pair myself and I'm an audio file. I'd say the quality are pretty decent, but still I wouldn't recommend just yet

    I needed new earbuds. I opted for these because I want to get a Portal someday and I'll be prepared for when that time comes. As far as earbuds go, they are very nice, but I do wish they could control the volume of devices connected via Bluetooth. The volume buttons don't do anything when connected to my phone or tablet.

    I think I'll stick to the soundcore VR P10's I've got when it comes to earbuds. Less than half the price and they do the same job, Portal connectivity aside (don't have). The charger lasts longer and it has a usb c dongle for minimal latency. Great for handheld Switch play.
    The Pulse Elite however... I'm still rocking the PS branded headset from before the Pulse 3D, forget the name, but it's due for an upgrade.

    Okay, the Pulse Elite's mic sounds a lot better than what DankPods portrayed it to be.
    Try screaming about Vegemite to see if the microphone holds up.

  • @SpectrumReviews
    @SpectrumReviews 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Ryan, try the Sony Inzone buds, they are the same dongle concept via the USB C. They sound way better then the explore. It's crazy that sony is releasing these for the PS5 with a dull output. I was expecting something more robust. But they flop. I love my inzone buds.

    I REALLY want to know what's going on with the Audio Mix slider for the Pulse Elites (and at 4:02, it looks like the earbuds don't have it either). The 3D Pulse allowed me to turn down the screaming tweens I merc and my loud mouth squadmates without turning down the game sounds. WHY IS THIS ABSENT IN THE NEWEST PRODUCTS FOR SONY'S SOUND?

    Would not plug it in the back of the console, it get hot and may be one of the factors with the disconnection.

    My main problem is the connectivity. They will just disconnect and I can't reconnect without having to unplug and replug in the link adapter. As for the earbud tips. I use my Beats Powerbeats3 earbud tips. They are way more comfortable. If you have spare comfortable earbud tips from other headsets like Beats or Skullcandy. I'd highly recommend using those.

  • @tarantinoish
    @tarantinoish 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I just don’t understand why the new PS5 slim seems to be backwards with Sony’s new technology. Why wasn’t PS Link built into the new PS5 for example? It feels like it could of been, but it wasn’t. That’s fine, but then why make the new adapters USB-A? And the nice 10 foot cord that comes with the Edge controller, which I love by the way, but the cord is USB A as well. Why not include a USB C to USB C cable. Both models of PS5 have USB C on the front, but the slim model doesn’t have USB A on the front, so all these adapters or cords have to be plugged in the back, which is honestly a pain. It just feels backwards and not well thought through.

    The silicone tips included were really bad. Very flimsy and way too small. I bought a set of Comply Truegrip Pro to replace them and it made a huge difference. Really wierd of Sony to cheap out on the included tips because establishing a good seal is fundamental. Outside of the silicone tips and that they drop connection every now and then they are fantastic, but to be honest I think they're a bit too expensive for what they are. Hopefully they sort out the connection issues with firmware updates, because it gets annoying even if it only happens once every 3-4 days.

    I have been using these since launch exclusively with my PS5 gaming session. I do NOT like over the ear headsets due to wearing them at work 40-50hrs a week. So earbuds have always been my go to. These were EXACTLY what I was looking for. Soundstage is crisp and clear with good mids and lows, the comfort(after purchasing some foam ear tips) is amazing and I don’t even recognize they are in my ears during long gaming sessions. The charging is quick, so I typically only have to wait 20-30mins before popping them back in. And I love the design. It’s an added bonus that music via Bluetooth on my iPhone is incredible and I can take calls while gaming. These were well worth the $200 for me. However I totally understand others not wanting to drop that kind of money on this product.
