PlayStation Pulse Explore Wireless Earbuds Review

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.

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

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

@91shawny 2 ай бұрын

The problem is that these are technically the only earbuds that can work with the portal outside your home so yes it should be prepared for outdoor or out of home use if using your portal

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.
