PlayStation Pulse Elite Wireless PS5 Headset Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 พ.ค. 2024
- The PlayStation Pulse Elite headphones are true to their name and provide top-tier performance across multiple metrics. The audio quality is spectacular for gaming, they’re very comfortable, and the battery life is excellent. If you can get past the weak microphone and unusual design, their excellent usability and great sound quality make any other headphones hard to recommend for the PlayStation 5 at this price.

Pro tip: If you're going to make a specific point about how they look when you're wearing them, SHOW SOMEONE WEARING THEM
Exactly 🤝👍🏼
Right? And they talk about the mic quality but then just emulate how it sounds rather than recording straight from the mic to show us
Yes!
No you dont understand, this headset really makes you FEEL like batman
Came here to say the same, why mention but not show it? It's a review.. Classic IGN.
Would've loved to hear an actual microphone test or see the review actually WEAR the thing.

Spawnpoiint does a review showing the mic test and stuff
he did include a sample of the mic test at 5:28 actually
@@TISUALhe didn’t compare the new and old
Other reviewers say the mic quality is actually nice - I’m guessing he didn’t notice the mic has a feature that extends further and can be adjusted.
Is the mic better then the damn buds?
Yeah other videos sound great except for this one
@@ihateflatbunzGood question

The mic does NOT sound like that in other reviews
he definitely didn't extend the microphone out
Mic sounds great everywhere else. Also, the pulse is completely fine, my son my best friend and myself have them and it's just like talking on the phone..
The mic didn't sound that bad with GadgetryTech's review. It actually sounded fine and the AI noise cancelling worked impressively.
"Battery lasts longer than the rated 20 hours!" -- that's because they're rated for 30. IGN can't even read the box, huh.
Because in the box it says 20 but online it says 30. The Techne channel shows a detailed review about the headset and also you can see clear the box says 20 hours.
My first series are still bumping to this day. They had amazing bass though.
@@BrianDPrice1😂
Mine just died a few days ago 😅
These don't they will get very distorted with slight bass turned up with music or games with big blooms.
@@jamesfrequay7816how long time did you have them?
Does he know how to use headphones in general?
Wait. That 2 seconds was the mic test? Did you extend the mic all the way?
Typical ign review. The “mic test” wasn’t even an actual recording using this headset. IGN bashed on the mic, but provided zero evidence. Guess we have to trust their word.
no his voice was just put into a high pass filter
Yes
You said you have to use PS5 to listen to two sources at a time. But couldn't you connect the dongle to a PC and then also connect to your phone at the same time?
Yes. The dual connections are to the dongle and Bluetooth. The dongle can be connected to a PC instead of a PS5.
So can you play game audio and watch a TH-cam video on a laptop at the same time???
These headphones have been a dream to use especially for TLOU Part 1 and 2 when you can hear the EXACT location of a clicker and enemy.
On the Pulse first editions, there's a rocker to mix party chat audio and game audio. Is this now done away with?
3:58 Where do you get the statistic of 20 hours per charge? On their product page, they mention 30 hours which is why you're getting more battery life than you expected.
Because in the box it says 20 but online it says 30. The Techne channel shows a detailed review about the headset and also you can see clear the box says 20 hours.
@@5MURF0 Oh okay, thanks. It sounds like the box was sent for printing before the battery tests were done. 😆
@@WilbertIsRandom 20 hours.
@@Anguish88 Yes, on the box, but the website and official Sony Pulse Elite videos on TH-cam, say up to 30 hours.
ARE THEY THE SAME OR. BETTER THAN THE SONY INZONE H9's?
Prefer Inzone H7/9, the cloth ear cups are lighter and more breathable than the leather ones in those Elite lineup
Strange review, but very on brand for IGN, but anyway im super keen to get the pulse elite, they look great
Great! Pre-ordered mine!
Classic IGN with terrible review of a product. PlayStation says 30 hours on a charge on their website and the mic extends for much better quality. Lazy review
Yeah there is no way that audio clip of the mic was actually from this device. They just used an EQ filter and never did a proper test with direct audio from the headset.
Just tried 3D headphones for the first time with Pacific Drive…..whoa!
If the USB adapter for the pulse 3D headset gets missing can the new USB for the pulse edge be paired to it?
Lost me with the bad mic quality smh.
Facts
Sony always have bad mic quality.
Hoping there's a update to fix that it makes no sense!!!! Thy have audio studios
It's not that bad actually. GadgetryTech did a better mic review of this headset and it sounds fine and the ai noise cancelling on it is impressive
People barely talk anyways these days who cares I'm just getting them for my vr2 the earbudz gotta go you feel me happy gaming
A couple points based on the negatives of the price however, the price point was never mentioned?
150$
I've watched other videos where the mic quality is totally fine, nothing like what they show in this video. I'm guessing they didn't use real audio from the headset.
Hey guys does this have the feature where you can turn up to hear your own voice better from outside. Also could you use these standalone with your phone?
Does it sound better than PlayStation Platinum headset?
Still rockin my ps4 golds ..even on ps5 , don’t really see the need to upgrade
It's a class headset to be fair. My ear cups perished unfortunately
I'm curious if it's worth upgrading my Pulse to these
Don't do it. They just snapped on me
@@papichulo4650 oh damn! Guess I'll stick with my Pulse. They've been going strong since launch
My Pulse 3D is kinda busted atm so I'm desperate for an upgrade.
Where they made to work with psvr2 or not?
Doesn't look like it to me. None of the reviewers mention the psvr2.
Yes but it's designed to be put on first. Pulse elite on head, then the psvr2 on.
Do you think it's comfortable, like after a couple hours of vr play?@honesttroll3463
The elite earbuds have horrible reviews on Amazon, mostly complaining about the link dropping. Anything like that with these?
How is the connection? Pulse headset was very bad loseing conncetion all the time.
Ok but can they make them in another color that's NOT white? How about Blue or Red?
Battery life is rated at up to 30 hours according to the Official PlayStation store
The box says 20 for some reason
Pretty lame review. Didn't show them on head or offer mic tests. Just awkward pauses and buzz words.
The ear cup coverings are already coming off my pulse headphones due to poor manufacturing methods. I'll have to use contact cement to glue them back on.
They're not even released yet bud. Unless you're talking about the many year old regular Pulse 3D then just buy replacement earpads for very cheap
Honestly after having them a few weeks the worst part is the build quality. Any movement of your head and the moving ear cups and mic beam make noise.
Does it support 3d audio?
Do they support dolby atmos , not 3D audio.
How do they fair against the arctic nova 7p?
Compared to the original 3D pulse elites released 10 years ago, they are lacking.
They used to come with rumble for your head that went along with the bass. The sound quality itself was premium, not typical of a gaming headphones pair tbh.
not 3D pulse elites just Pulse Elite
bro, these are audeze designed planar drivers. your head is going to rumble. most gamers ain't never heard bass like this.
If these are anything like the Audeze Maxwell, if you eq the bass up, they can vibrate like crazy.
Isn’t the mic on the left side not the right 👀
How are they compared with other Sony over head earphones like WH-1000XM4/5?
From the looks of the pulse elite has better detail but less bass
So how do they compare to Astors A50?
Can you use this for the PlayStation portable ?
Is it better than the standard pulse when it comes to drop connections and interference?
Never had an issue with dropped connections in years of use with my pulse. Sounds like yours is faulty.
What’s the difference between these and the 3d ones? Or the elite. I’ve been Xbox my whole life but had a ps5 for like a year. Need some headsets for helldivers
@@PalmBeachGaming561Not many other than extended mic. And the fact that these connect to PS Portal.
Pro-Pro Tip: Get Audeze Maxwell. Audiophile headphones that just so happen to be for gaming.
Friend bought these, 3D audio was pretty poor imho, try them on your PS4 and you will hear the difference in quality
Will this ever come in black and in mesh?
What's side tone?
The Pulse is more comfortable than the 3d?
Ehhh I've had both it's really up to personal preference..... But the elites do sound better
Is this new headset better than the $99 previous sony headset?
Yes
Are they still crazy tight on the head tho? The other ones would hurt the hell out of my skull after 10 minutes.
The elites are definitely a lot better feeling on your head compared to the regular 3Ds
Disappointed they removed the feature where you can hear your voice while wearing them like the normal Pulse along with the party chat vs game balance mixer.
It still has both of those features. Monitor, or hearing yourself is called sidetone now and it's it's Audio settings, party chat is available thru the sound settings or using the FN button if you have the edge controller
Los mejores son lo mas top Sony wh-1000xm5 y con tecnologia 360 Reality Audio. Yo con estos los disfruto mucho para todo y super ligeros
You could have included the price... And if you start the review by raising the question whether the higher price is worth it in comparison to the regular Pulse 3D, then address the question and not do no comparison at all.
Can you please not include spoilers for the game you are showcasing during a product review? Thanks.
Does this headset have awareness mode?
So are they worth the upgrade from the current PS5 headset?!
Definitely
No
@@Silver01Son have you tried the new one? Reviews seem to be consistent that it sounds better
Sold mine kept disconnecting and the light on the headset reflected on my glasses annoying il stick with the original.
Can you operate the controls with the Dualsense edge?
Yes
H9 inzone vs elite ????
You mentioned the price tagline BUT NEVER TOLD US THE ACTUAL PRICE………I know we can look it up but why would you make such an emphasis about it and then don’t say anything?!?!
Why is the microphone always terrible with these bluetooth headsets?
i‘m sending it back immediately. The mic is horrible and the overall
design is very flimsy. for the pricepoint it might be okay but invest 50€ more and you got yourself a waay better headset overall.
Just the like my thoughts on the elite controller this seems like it’s targeted to gamers with more disposable income I’ll stick with the standard pulse 3d headset
They don't seem as cool as the past Elite headphones, they had specific modes for some games like GTA V and The Last of us, and even had some rumble features.
question is it much better than the earbuds sound wise
Are you dumb... tiny crappy ear buds that will break fast compared to a actual headset xD what do you think...
This is cheaper than the Pulse Explore????
Work play on PS4 pro?
The pulse headset is sooo uncomfortable, hope these are much better
This man abuses the pause button when he speaks
Is the foam on the ear cups replaceable on these?
No
Unless you take them apart
No talk on pc or performance using the 3.5mm jack.
So if you want a headset that supports PS5, Xbox, PC & Mobile get an Arctis Nova 7x 😎👍🏻
And Nintendo switch
Is possible for this new headset pulse elite connect with p3 cable too (appears the p3 cable not included)??? Same with pulse 3D??? Or pulse elite is only wireless and Bluetooth???
The score is 9
Of course ,it's IGN😮
What a shame, the batteries are once again impossible to replace it seems.
What is side tone?
And they leave out the "pulse" yet again. The pulse headset originally had vibration in the headset. Bring it back!!!
Bring back the Platinums Sony!!!
Do you guys even have the headset?
Mines says they will ship it out by Wednesday
01:46 a little warning wouldve been nice
how much does it cost?
150 USD
@@kratosrage thank you 🙏
Don't buy till thy update the mic threw software@@crescentmoon256
what’s is sidetone
Total fail of a review. Actually REVIEW the mic quality!
Thats a big oof on mic quality for a premium headset
Online says they are noise canceling
pre-ordered
can they be used while charging?
yes
@@bimmeracing thanks
So these as basically the little brother of my Audeze Maxwell? The Maxwell have teeth rumbling bass so I’ll stick with those.
A crappy little brother. This is a plastic toy compared to the Maxwell tank.
wtf is sidetone?
That sony Kickback got deposited. 🤑🤑
Why is this guy in IGN? His style and the quality of his reviews are way above this channel.
So much style and quality he forgot to do his homework before production and extend the retractable microphone.
@@JJSideshowBobDamn Bob Facts
I'll keep my Audeze Maxwells 🤭
Nope, I’m taking them off your hands buddy.
As well you should, Sony bought them lol. That company essentially made these headphones.
Same here.
Audeze maxwells and steel series arctis nova pro is the 2 best headsets available now.
I've had two sony wireless headsets not loud enough for me steelseries was definitely way better
He didn’t say what’s the difference between Pulse 3D🤦🏻♂️
He also didn’t describe how it was different than a sack of potatoes. It’s almost like it was a review and not a comparison video.
@@DekeDagger dont defend IGN..just...dont
he did say they have audeze planar drivers but didn't explain why that's a big deal. It's a huge deal.
happy that they kept the dongle
Annoying there isn't a black version at launch
Only 50 bucks more so 150 at least on Amazon
