PlayStation Pulse Explore Wireless Earbuds Review
Ғылым және технология
Sony’s Pulse Explore Earbuds are laser-focused on, and deliver, high-quality sound for gaming, but that leaves little room for many features that are found in comparable Bluetooth earbuds in this price range.

The first company to design an ear bud that feels comfortable while using a pillow wins a million dollars.

Would love an Sony Inzone earbuds review also. Or even a comparison one.
Can you do a review of the inzone buds ?
Sony is definitely an innovation company. I've never seen planar magnetic drivers in something so small. I'm glad another company is making effort towards a new and potentially better low latency frequency. Besides Bluetooth. The tech is only going to get better from here. Love sony everything

That’s going to be in the PS5 3.0 which comes before the PS5 Pro.
Can you use these one at a time, like airpods, that also supports mic?
So basically no test whatsoever on latency against its own Bluetooth connection or against any fast aptx Bluetooth buds. Gotta love the reviews these days.
Nice review, thank you. Does the USB dongle fit into the charge case or is it separately carried around?
@TELEVISIBLE

Separated
On certain aspects of this review you also have to consider these were made for gaming specifically not for outdoors activities or to take on travel so the the lifespan of the charge is reasonable and the fact that it's a big case shouldn't matter because they're more for homebody people to use while gaming they can be used to take out but this was not the main purpose of these earbuds which people need to understand when it comes down to the style and size of the earbud

how long does it take to charge the earbuds?
Hearing sounds he's never heard before sounds remarkable. How's it compare to the pulse headset though in sound quality?
What would you say are better the buds or the 3d elite as getting a new headset

Pulse Elite Headset Review When?!
All these complaints & it still gets a 7
If you got these, get new ear tips, you will thank me later, the ear tips provided are worhhless. If you get noice isolated eartips you will hear the bass much better and as well as the sound stage. They more you close out outside sound the better these sound, sony blew it when they delivered these with those cheap eartips. Get the Asla sedna earfits. They are amazing.
Just preordered it. Sony got me (again).

Sound quality wise the planar magnetic drivers should be better, but battery life and comfort is better with the Inzone.
Do y’all think Sony will license out the PlayStation Link tech for 3rd party companies? Not sure if this gen 1 series is the one for me considering the trade offs mentioned in the review

No one has mentioned the poor distance connection. My pulse headphoes would stay connected at quite the distance from the PS5. You walk 5 feet from the PS5 with ear buds you lose connection. And the random disconnects are ridiculous. While brief. Its annoying. And the comfort level is poor IMO. Im a bit dissapointed.
But does the mute button on the controller mute the mic???

"We" had to give up a lot? Also, don't really understand the disconect between Sony and PlayStation in making redundant products. Instead of having one lineup for PS and everything else (inzone), they instead choose to be confusing.
Why a dongle?

That mean, pulse explore is better than inzone buds right ?
Sony always puts out super weird and bulky looking earbuds. They all look so top heavy, not just these PlayStation branded ones.
2 mins 11 seconds in and heard "for what it's worth" twice already.
Do they fall out?
5 hours is a deal breaker for me, esp with no ANC that is some shite battery life. Maybe the planar drivers take more energy than standard, but Maxwell are able to get 90h off a single charge.

Just came here for the '7'... And was not disappointed.
You should've put a spoiler warning for Spider-Man 2, it hasn't been out that long. You do say it's comically larger than AirPods Pro for example but you don't show the difference in the video, don't even clarify if the advertised battery life is accurate and if you have tested it, utterly unprofessional.
