Thanks for the review! Is there a noticiable or any differnence in sound quality or usability going between something like your PS5 and PC? I’m getting tired of the over ear headset game, but im afraid to spend the money on gaming earbuds. Thanks again!

On playstations previous headset builds the dongle is ALWAYS searching to connect automatically, and you could be in BFE and still be connected. Ellitees are the way to go for the normal consumer, the buds move way too much even wiht my all diferent ear tips, and if they dont sit in your ear perfectly.... good luck with that awesome audio.

hey just a heads up you are wearing the buds at the wrong angle. The white plastic part should be horizontal, not tilted up or down. This will greatly help with audio quality. This isn't communicated at all by sony but something the community kind of discovered on its own.

@@midasgamespace appreciate the reply… I did some searching and came across a thread that described a similar issue as mine. Ended up moving the usb LINK dongle from the rear of the ps5 to the front usb port. Turns out that the heat dissipated from the ps5’s fan could interfere with the performance of the LINK connection. The intermittent static noises seems to have been rectified after doing this (for me at least). That being said, I still think the sound quality could be better. But the buds are a lot more tolerable now.

I rushed out and got these and also the explore to use with the psvr2 and casual music listening. However, they both sounded Ok In games with psvr2. I was hoping for something more with Sony’s new magnetic drivers. They sounded average to my silly ears. I returned them both out of disappointments

BUYER BEWARE: The 3D Elite is a fail by Sony in going down market as far as sound quality is concerned especially when listening to music. My PS4 Gold headset with whatever profile I saved to them years ago has SUPERIOR bass and sound for $99 versus the $199+ for these. Super disappointing. I have been buying the PS4 Gold headsets off eBay as they inevitably break to get around this disappointment. I’m sure these are great for just pure gaming 3D audio, but woooow is the lack of any oomph or bass to the sound apparent. Even with 3D audio profiles shut off. ALSO you don’t even have a chat to audio mixer like the PS4 Gold headset.
