I've tried both aswell by now. I must say H5 wins comfort for me, and I also like the chatmix function on it. I don't need bluetooth. For me as a casual game the sound is more than alright! Plus I got it for 133 euro's instead of 149. I didn't like the elite comfort, plus the design. Sound (played a clip from hogwarts legacy) was good, but missed bass on a clip from helldivers. But since I know the comfort of the elite will start to annoy me, I think the H5 (even for ps5) wins for me (but then again, that's me). Thanks for the great review though! :)

Hey, thanks for the video and amazing work. There are a lot "versus" discussions on reddit about Pulse Elites vs Arctis 7P. Can you make a detailed comparison video pls? I think you will get a huge amount of views - because this is the most discussed battle. Regarding the fabric/leather comfort and more of the Bass comparison. Thank you in advance!

Awesome review, thanks! I plan to wear a headset only with driving (PS5) games, which one do you think it's a better fit then?

Nice review

I'm just curious, why doesn't anyone use the SkullCandy Crusher Evo's for gaming, I just recently within the last month upgraded my phone from a LG V20 to a Nubia Red Magic Pro 9 and the sound quality and loudness is amazing in both Bluetooth and 3.5mm jack, I just figured I'd ask because I'm a nut for the SCE's, I use them for everything, now don't get me wrong the sound has nothing on the V20's ESS Dac, the Qualcomm Dac in the NRMP 9 sounds more like a flat setting closer to the MoonDrop Dawn Dac

Using my og Pulse headphones, it seems like the H5 sounds better in the test. Im not sure if it’s indicative of the actual sound elite and h5 produce tho. Elite is marketed as having lossless audio, does that make a difference?

I was between Corsair Logitech Razer sennheiser, etc, I was reading on amz that the H5-9 sounded better than much of the headphone market, but with that sound test that you put at the end you made me decide for the H5, despite the KZread codecs, there is a clear difference to the Pulse, even in sound quality, sound much better the H5-9, thank you very much for this review, greetings from Colombia.

Hey man Thanks for the video but I would like to get your input which I didn't get from the video. Which one do you prefer between the two if you had to choose. Thanks

For me personally, I play 95% of my games on PS5...so the Pulse Elites suit my play style better. I also prefer the lower bass levels and more detail in the mids and hi's when playing online. But if I were a PC gamer... it'd be the H5's hands down. The the EQ and custom 360 reality mapping feature is pretty awesome.

Elites sound worse than the original pulse 3D

Not having a removable mic is just a deal breaker for me. I hardly ever play games with anybody. Most of my game time is just me at night trying to be quiet. Don’t want a dumb long mic hanging on the side of the headphones. It should always be removable.

So neither have a removable mic?

The same issue for me as well. I was really hoping that it would have a detachable mic. I'm just going to go with another Sony headset without a hanging mic.

Just get ear buds then

Love the vid really informative but I think I’ll probably get the h5s for the soul reason that they look less odd😂

The pulse elites have an audio jack too though.

When i plug my inzone H5 using the bluetooth the first couple of minutes it works perfectly like i can mute and unmute by simply putting the mic up or down and increasing the game or party audio button but after a couple of minutes it doesn't work like when i put the mic up or down the mic stays on mute and when i press the game or party audio it doesn't change So can anyone tell me why?

I prefer in ones because I had this error which kept me from connecting my pulse elite to my ps5. I had an error where ps5 said that the pulse elite headset doesn’t support ps5. I had to change twice. So I prefer inzone

Is it me or Sony uses the same resources and similar materials underneath their headphones that cost between £100 and £400? The only thing that seem to differ is the design. I am a huge Sony fan in the paat 10years but think we are sold the same products with different outfit 🤔

The technology has evolved quite a bit nowadays...but yes there is a chance that some parts are shared across the Sony companies

@@WhatGear and between Sony's own products. I think WH1000X series including M2, M3, M4 and very likely M5 will likely share 90% of their electronic components and as customers we are paying a premium every other year for almost identical products. This is also happening with the majority of the headphones regardless of company nowadays

That sound test was really helpfull. The sound quality is better on pulse elite and i dnd notice a lack of bass actually. One thing that called my attention is that you mentioned that the inzone H5 has 3.5 jack connection but as far as I know the pulse elite also has this only that it doesnt come with the 3.5 cable.

First of all this is a great video comparing both headphones. Second I just bought the elites and was very disappointed with the sound quality compared to the 3D pulse and the platinums. Just bad sound quality overall with the sounds being way too sharp and loud that make the guns in COD sound so bad. Second the bass is HORRIBLE. When just at 0 bass at the EQ settings flying down from a battle royal game like blackout or war zone the bass sounds like it’s blown out makes a very loud unusual noise. Also no game and chat audio balance buttons on the headphones or an option on the ps5 unless you’re in a party chat. The best part about them is muting the mic from the controller and being able to connect via Bluetooth plus the design and wireless charging. Other than that where it matters most they’re a disappointment for COD players and people who value controlling the game/chat audio.

Pulse Elite sounded duller - Not much of an audiophile

GOOD REVIEW
