Great Headset
Despite all the reviews about disconnects, I didnât experience that in the hour or two I messed around with them. I had one audio stutter but updated the firmware and havenât 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 didnât test the mic because I donât 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 donât 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).

Better sound than the old Pulse.
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.

Various issues.
Letâs 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. Itâs a button that toggles so knowing if you cut it on her off is hard to tell. Thereâs a bright light on the right side keeps blinking as you play so if youâre playing in the dark, you will see it. a workaround Is once itâs 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 donât know if itâs a bun or not and nothing really says itâs a button.UPDATE: itâs 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.

Poor overall quality and performance
So first of all, I have some Astro A40 TRs that I have used for several years now, with extensive gaming and long sessions. I have virtually no complaints with them in terms of comfort, sound quality, durability, or anything else. Except that I would like to foray into a wireless headset with my PS5; wired headsets that connect to the controller obviously draw more power from the controller battery, making it die much faster than without. Also it would be nice to not have a cord to contend with.With that said, I gave the Pulse Elite a try. I lasted all of 2 hours before I said I’m returning this thing, took it off, and went back to my Astros. First of all, who at Sony decided they should package this headset in such a way that it almost requires you to just rip the cardboard to open the thing? Dumb idea.Anyway, I was disappointed first of all we with the very thin, very loose material around the ear cups. It is bound to rip very quickly. There’s also no manually adjusting the headset; the elastic strap, which is also certain to wear out fast, is the only adjustment and it moves up and down on its own. That’s it. So if your head shape and size is not specifically the only thing this was designed to fit, you’re out of luck. It did fit for me, but not everyone will be the same.After doing the software update and it was ready to use, the very first thing I noticed was some slight static and noise distortion every time that tone plays when you are navigating your PS5 menus. Already that told me the sound quality was an issue. I tested it on a couple games and the sound all the way around felt flat, with almost a weird extra accent to the sound, probably related to that same noise distortion for higher frequency sounds that I experienced on the menus. Anyway, I continued playing, and about an hour into gaming, I felt some slight discomfort behind my ears. The headset, in an attempt to be “noise canceling,” is designed for the ear cups to fit snug around your ears like suction cups. This causes some discomfort, but also it causes you to hear yourself talking in your own head way too much. Speaking of talking, my buddies said the mic quality was worse, and louder, than my Astros. I turned the mic volume down as low as I could on the PS5, and still they had to go into our chat party and turn down my volume to the lowest possible setting also in order for me to not drown them out. I tried retracting the boom mic to mitigate this issue, and then they said it sounded like I was far away in a tunnel, causing an echo effect on my voice.There was absolutely nothing redeeming about this headset and it is extremely disappointing. I am just gonna go ahead and fork out the extra money to buy me some Astro A50s to get my wireless experience. I trust them to be high quality and comfortable, delivering on everything I need. The Pulse Elites are a definite DO NOT BUY, and I would never recommend it to anyone.

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 kulaklıÄı denediÄimde Arctis pro dan daha iyi bir ses duymayı beklerdim. Surround olarak oyunlarda denediÄimde müthiÅ bir surround efekti de duymadım. Gerçi ben pc de Ae-7 ve Arctis pro ikilisi kullandıÄımdan çıta bir hayli yüksekti. Ä°yi bir kulaklık ama mükemmel deÄil. En büyük avantajları kablosuz oluÅu ve Åarj süresi. Ps5 ile bir bütün oluÅu ps5 de equalizer ayarlanmasına olanak saÄlaması.
