    I bought the pulse elite back in March. I have used them a few times. So far so good. I have not had any issues the few times I have used it. I have not had any connection issues. The sound is great, I love the design. I will provide an update if anything changes. But so far so good.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Headset
    Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2024

    Despite all the reviews about disconnects, I didn’t experience that in the hour or two I messed around with them. I had one audio stutter but updated the firmware and haven’t run into that again.

    Audio is MUCH better when connected to the USB dongle directly to the PS5 and gives control over 3D audio and an equalizer. Levels are much lower when connected with the Portal and I had to crank the volume from the default to get it on the same level as what it sounded like at 50% on the PS5. Really wish there was a way to have the equalizer controls on the Portal.

    The ability to sync up to my phone over Bluetooth simultaneously is really neat but will go largely unused by me.

    I didn’t test the mic because I don’t do online gaming, but I REALLY appreciate that it tucks out of the way when not in use. Online review videos show it having some pretty stellar ambient sound cancellation, so you don’t have to worry about crunching snacks in your ears during party play.

    Setup was mildly convoluted but works seamlessly once setup. Apparently, you can link one headset up to a max of 8 USB Link Adapters and toggle between them so I might look into getting one for my PC. Switching between PS5 and the Portal connection was relatively painless.

    Very comfortable and lightweight. Fits great on my big noggin. Great noise cancellation from the outside world. However, that also causes me to notice a weird, amplified noise from the strap auto adjusting and rubbing against the frame if I move around while pressed against a pillow or recliner.

    My favorite feature? Absolutely has to be the charger. The hanger doubling as the charger is pure convenient genius design. Mounts on the wall with one screw (not included).

    5.0 out of 5 stars Better sound than the old Pulse.
    Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    Cons: It seemingly randomly disconnects, but I figured out that it's just out of power and the power meter does not work. That's right. It always says it's at full power, even though it's not.
    It has less physical buttons, which could be a plus for some.
    Not a lot of bass.
    Pros: The sound is more crisp and realistic and noticeably better than the old Pulse headset.
    The volume buttons are now much easier to find.
    More comfortable.

    The sound quality alone is worth the upgrade especially if you play FPSs or GT7. Or Any game on VR2. It's more immersive than ever. But don't use them to listen to Hip hop or EDM because they are incapable of producing a lot of bass, but that's not what they are made for anyway.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Various issues.
    Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    Let’s start with the good. Sound quality is much better and you may get better 3-D audio from it.

    There are a lot of issues straight from how it is packaged. Comes with a mounting stem. That is somehow sort of hidden, and I tossed with the box. There is no on and off switch. It’s a button that toggles so knowing if you cut it on her off is hard to tell. There’s a bright light on the right side keeps blinking as you play so if you’re playing in the dark, you will see it. a workaround Is once it’s over your ear position it back a little.
    The biggest issue is over, the fact that it keeps disconnecting. Reports online say that because it focuses on a 2.4 Hz range that it can get disrupted and it will disconnect. So you may have to hold the button that comes on the dongle. That I feel it is hidden as you don’t know if it’s a bun or not and nothing really says it’s a button.

    UPDATE: it’s possible that interference is caused by the magnets in headset and magnets in secret lab magnetic pillow.
    I ultimately like these headphones because of longer battery, quality of life between Bluetooth and PlayStation link. Easier to game and pick up phone. Or have videos on in background.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect General Purpose Headphones - PC usage
    Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    I bought these for PC gaming after learning these contain planar magnetic drivers for under $200. I have been very impressed. After a month of ownership, these have become my go-to wireless headphones, in addition to being a PC headset.

    Pros:

    Lightweight and comfortable. These weigh less than the wired headphones I replaced (Logitech ProX). The headband and cups are unusual, but they give a great fit without needing adjustment. I can easily wear them for hours.

    Connectivity. These headphones have so many options to connect, wireless and wired! The USB dongle allows lossless wireless audio; it should be your primary connection. The USB dongle itself has great compatibility; it has been plug and play without issue on every device I tested it with. With a USB A to C adapter, I can even use the USB dongle to get wireless lossless audio from my iPhone 15! If your device doesn’t have a USB port, you can connect with bluetooth. Bluetooth will be lower quality than the proprietary lossless wireless used with the USB dongle. A unique feature is to have both connections running simultaneously. I personally have not found this useful, but I can see the use case for console gaming where you want phone audio by bluetooth for music or videos while also receiving game audio from the console over USB. The last option is a wired connection by 3.5 mm audio (aux cord). I love this option for compatibility with in-flight entertainment on airplanes, and a few old devices that don’t support bluetooth audio. This is not a passive wired connection, you will need battery power to listen to wired inputs, and adjust the volume on the headset itself. You cannot utilize any other connection simultaneously with the wired connection. If you use a 4 pole 3.5mm cord, you will utilize the microphone in wired connections too. 3.5mm cord (aux cord) is not included.

    Audio. Audio is crisp and snappy. You hear everything. No really! Everything! Planar magnetic drivers have a faster response than traditional dynamic drivers; giving more distinct sounds. Lossless wireless audio is a big deal. I love listening to music with these just as much as playing games.

    Battery life. Not an issue. They claim 30 hours. I never had these die on me, but I am pretty good about charging items not in use.

    Cons:

    Microphone. The microphone is acceptable, not good. It does have always-running (software) noise filter; In my opinion this does assist with clarity. People will understand what you are saying; you just don’t sound good while being clearly heard. This is the sacrifice for high quality wireless audio, the bandwidth for the mic. For games it is fine, but I wouldn’t use this headset for conferences.

    Build. The design is actually quite functional, and style is subjective. I am happy with what was delivered, but there are alot of soft touch plastics in this headset. We shall see how long it lasts. I can see it scratching easily over time.

    Audio. Audio is shallow. I really like how these sound. You hear everything. These do not sound booming or deep. You will hear the base, it wont sound bad or tinny, but it wont boom. You may be disappointed if you expect deep and booming sound.

    Mixer and equalizer. Without a PS5, you have no control over the mixer/equalizer. Out of the box these are balanced flat. If you want to adjust your sound profile, you need to do so on a PS5. Once adjusted, the sound profile is stored on the headset. If fine tuning your sound profile matters to you, you need a PS5 or a friend with a PS5 to tune your headset.

    Documentation. The manuals included in the box are limited. There are plenty of features just not listed in the manuals. It doesn’t even tell you how to turn off the headset! You need to check Sony’s FAQ for this headset online to learn all of its features.

    System behavior. Two aspects of system behavior annoy me. First, the blue LED that indicates the headset is powered on, is too bright for its prominent placement in front. Second, this headset automatically powers off after a period of no audio input. This period is a little short for me, but the worse aspect is that it does not play a tone when automatically powering off. It can be annoying when you hit play on your music, only to realize the headset is off and needs to be powered on. Please add a tone on automatic power off.

    Conclusion: This is the best all around headset to buy, even if you use PC and not PS5. You get lightweight, comfortable, great sounding, and wireless headset with tons of features and the unique sound from planar magnetic drivers, for under $200. The mic, while not good, is clear/comprehensible. No software controls for PC may be a deal breaker for some people.

    The audio quality of the headphones is exceptional, providing an immersive surround sound experience. The build quality exudes a premium feel, although the lack of a foldable design may limit its portability. The Bluetooth connectivity with various devices is seamless, except for occasional disconnections from the PS5, which can be easily resolved by connecting the wired connection. The battery life is impressive, requiring only two charges since I received it.

    In summary, these headphones offer an excellent overall experience.

    Kulaklık olarak Arctis pro kullanıyordum bu kulaklığı denediğimde Arctis pro dan daha iyi bir ses duymayı beklerdim. Surround olarak oyunlarda denediğimde müthiş bir surround efekti de duymadım. Gerçi ben pc de Ae-7 ve Arctis pro ikilisi kullandığımdan çıta bir hayli yüksekti. İyi bir kulaklık ama mükemmel değil. En büyük avantajları kablosuz oluşu ve şarj süresi. Ps5 ile bir bütün oluşu ps5 de equalizer ayarlanmasına olanak sağlaması.
