Honestly yeah I was wondering like does this person actually wear them with a beanie on when using them? Cuz that would make a difference to me

One major change is that the Elite works with the mute button on the DualSense unlike the 3D where you could only mute using the button on the headset.

I have tried some headsets over the years and never found one as good as that. Really high volume, great bass, I loved the rumble feature… Used it for about 8 years, until it completely broke… I bought the Pulse 3D for my PS5 hoping it would be close to that one, but it’s not anywhere near that level of quality. I came here hoping to check if the new Pulse Elite will be good…

@marloncarrero6575 YeahI have never understood why Sony abandoned the Platinum Wireless. The construction of the is was terrible. I've seen Amazon reviews that show the same damage mine got it was clearly a flaw in the materials used. Now I'm glad the new headphones are made far better. But the bass and the rumble feature were the true standouts of that headphone. I believe the new 3d sound is what Sony wants to push is incompatible with rumble and bass. I also liked the different presets that the Platinum Wireless had. It made Jurassic Park mind blowing 🤯

Thanks!

I love your review so much man and you're very sweet and kind. Thank you so much for making these videos.

I had the pulse and I love my elite headset. The sound is so much more crisp. And the mic definitely sounds better even if it isn’t crazy.

I literally ate and rustled a bag of crisps on my elite and my mate said he couldn't hear it

I only want it for PlayStation Links multiconnection with Pc to watch KZread while playing, with switching outputs, mixing sound and all that.

Had these for over a week n here's what I think! Outta the the box they're a bit flat but once you dail them in using the PS5's EQ Presets they're a game changer. Excellent battery life, didn't have to charge mine after four days of long gaming sessions. The connectivity to like your phone is a welcome addition, can play both audio simultaneously with no distortion, mute game audio entirely n just listen to your music, take calls etc. Mic is retractable, quite decent and blocks a lot of BG noise. A lot more comfortable than the Pulse 3D's. Controls are pretty straight forward and I like that you can mute from the Dualsense Controller, also change volume and game chat audio directly from the Dualsense Edge controller using the FN keys. Build quality is mostly alright. Now to where these headphones really shine, The audio quality is simply amazing on the Pulse Elite, the planar magnetic tech' they're using makes a world of a difference paired with Playstation's lossless link audio for some of the best audio separation I've heard on a gaming headset, There's no distortion, I'm hearing things in some of my popular games that i haven't heard before, trust me set up yr 3D audio experience on the PS5 sit back and get ready. This is coming from a long term gamer, this is my honest opinion, if your coming from an older pair of gaming headset, pick these up worth the buy for your PS5!

Thanks for your opinion. I don’t have such a long experience with games but I thought the low end is a bit weak. Using heavy guns in my favorite fps didn’t sound as heavy as in other headphones.

i remember when gamestop used to do a trade in promo where you can give them your older ps headset model for a huge discount. i wish i can trade in my pulse for the pulse elite

Sons birthday gift this cheers for reviewing.

I figured out the mystery behind the disconnecting! There's an issue with connecting your cell phone at the same time it’s connected to your PS5. If you just connect to the system the headphones work flawlessly. I recommend factory resetting the dongle and headphones and then reconnect them after the issue has occurred.

What about they keep disconnecting and then reconnecting that's my issue with the pulse Elite headphones

i been using this on rainbow six and i’ve went from stuck in copper to silver 4 , audio is everything and this headset is amazing

With the charging hook on the elite, you don't have to wall mount it. Just get some double sided 3M tape and just tape it under the desk or media center you have. Super simple and pretty clean looking honestly.

Is it still woryh it if I don't have a ps5? I'm looking for a wireless headset to use when gaming with friends on pc and where I live the Pulse Elite is about half the price of the Nova Pro Wireless, much cheaper than the A50 and around the same price as the A40 and Hyperx Cloud Alpha Wireless. I just don't know if I can update the headset's firmware or EQ it without having a PS5

Hello. Does anyone know how to adjust the audio balance? Because unfortunately he won't let me.

I'll pick up a set on Wednesday i had a set already but man it keeped disconnecting on me and i returned them one feature i do miss is the control of audio and chat the pulse 3D have were you can lower the chat volume in a game

Kevin what are your thoughts on the Moba Pad M6HD for the switch? People are claiming that its the BEST joycon replacemnt for the switch

@LsIQIs2K it is for playing with people who are not on Play Station or don't use Discord. For example, Destiny 2 has a 6-player game mode called raids, and it requires full communication from every player, such as having different tasks to do similar to puzzles, but also, you are in a FPS gun fight and with gun shots, music, special effects from everything happening everywhere around you sometimes it's hard to hear teammates callouts

Reviews on Amazon are saying they keep dropping out, losing connection. Then you have to reset them

You actually pull off making these headsets look cool! At this price point you've got quite a large range of headsets in competition, including Blackshark V2 Pro, Steel Series Arctis Nova 7 and Pro Wireless, and even the Audeze Penrose. As much as the Elite has instant street cred and value, how does it compare to the other headsets out there within $50 bucks of it? That is the question!

I've had a black duel sense edge pretty much since release. Ordered it from colorware. Only took 2 weeks.

The real game-changer is using the Pulse Elite with the DualSense Edge You could probably make a whole video dedicated to that. With that combo you only ever need to touch the headset to turn it on or off, everything else is done through the controller. For example, the mute switch on the controller actually mutes the headset.

I have a turtle beach 600 gen 2 and I like it but one of the cups I had to duck tape it after a year I’m considering these ones but idk if I should wait a while and give these my old ones away

Dude, it’s SO hard to take your opinions seriously regarding ear cup comfort when you NEVER take a beanie off your head.

the PlayStation Link technology came too late in the PS5 Slim development to be built in. That's why PS Portal is so far the only device with native support.

You gotta really hope the PS5 pro is going to have PlayStation Link built-in

Just got mine and its awesome. I can also use the PS Link adapter on my PC and even on the Nintendo Switch Dock to have it simultaneously connect with my phone on bluetooth.

Having to use the UI to scroll between 'Game/Chat' volume is a huge inconvenience for those of us who play online multiplayers! Most of the time we toggle that whilst in game and it's super easy/quick & practical on the original 3D pulses.

Didn't wven realize the triple tap feature was there.

The Pulse Elite is cool!

As for the earbud versions, I would not recommend them as they tend to disconnect frequently.

Returned 2 pairs…both had connection issues.

its odd that they didnt have the link be usb-c

my pulse 3D headband snapped into 2 pieces so upgrading is kinda a no brainer

From my personal experience with the elite, the battery life and the ability to listen to my phone and my game at the same time is worth it.

Can i connect it to an xbox?

unrelated to the headphones, even for just 5 seconds of b-roll footage at 6:30, the playstation portal is stuttering... they really need to fix that. Related to the headphones, I ordered them and looking forward to them. I hope I have more luck than I did with the pulse explore. I liked the sound of the explore, but the comfort was an issue for me. Plus the Elite also has the option of a wired cable, so could be a nice accessory to other devices too. (one of those retro android handhelds, or the switch, or any of the windows handhelds)

These are not bad but the Sony Platinums are better imo. I have both, I got these because the advertising convinced me they might be better and cheaper than their Platinum. Cheaper, yes, better, no.

You really need. To take your woolly hat off and put them on your actual ears.Because I experience a much different effect.When I put them on to other headphones, they feel like vacuumed in some way.And even though they are not noise cancelling headphones they do a good job in keeping out the outside world

In all honesty. These are great with exception of the bass. They have no bass. Don't be fooled. Everything else is great. But if you absolutely HATE bass, these are for you. If you're like me and can appreciate some bass, don't get them. They have absolutely ZERO bass. Even after messing with the extremely limited eq settings.
