I don't trust the person with no ears

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.

Can’t believe you’re still testing the sound with a beanie on. Any fabric in between your ears and the output will altar the experience even by small margin but that margin is important if you’re reviewing and comparing.

Years ago, Sony came out Platinum Wireless Headset 7.1 Surround Sound for PS4 it was spectacular. It had a rumble feature that had to be felt to be described. Why Sony abandoned this feature is a mystery to me.

hairloss hits all of us overtime so I get it bro but not the headset over the beanie again PLEASE 💀😭

I bet someone with a 3D printer could make a tabletop headphone stand that incorporates the Elite's charging hook so you don't need to attach it to a wall

Always appreciate your reviews, good sir!

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 only want it for PlayStation Links multiconnection with Pc to watch KZfaq 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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

You forgot about the AI in the mic that removes background noise

Cool, now they just need to hurry up and release that and the edge controller in black so I can buy them.

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

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'm still using the ps4 gold headset on my ps5 still working strong.

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.

I got one pre ordered ahead of time and arrived !! I’m glad my impulse purchase is worth it! Thanks for the review sir!!

I'm good with the pusle 3d headphones. I just bought them a a few weeks ago. Wish i would have bought them sooner. I will upgrade to the elite headphones when pro comes out later this year.

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!

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

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.

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.

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

The Pulse Elite is cool!

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

A hardwired setup is really the best way to go.

Might want to add that you can not adjust the game/voice chat balance in game. Only in playstation parties. That alone made me bring it back within a couple hours of owning.

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

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

My concern with the Elite is availability of replacement ear cups. I had to switch them on my Pulse 3d just by wear and tear...

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

The charge base is the reason for that extra $50 on the price.

Voice monitor button would have been nice, i can’t seem to find a setting for it?

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

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

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

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

The audio balance is greyed out in the headphones quick menu HOW TO FIX?

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)

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

People commenting about how great these are makes me want to buy them…but then again, I just use cheap Sony wired earbuds and they seem to work fine. Is there really such a big difference? I seem to hear everything just fine with standard wired earbuds/headphones.

Returned 2 pairs…both had connection issues.

Just got the elite today. I like them but they feel claustrophobic. No sound leaks in

The audio on the 3D headset is honestly better, I did a music test and the bass is way more better then on the elite, I get these are gaming headset but having bass is a must for me. Since I already have the elite I’m sticking with them cause of the simultaneous connection between the ps5 and my phone

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

I said okay a headphone review he has to take off his beanie for this one, I was so wrong 😮

I love the elite personally

Just casually giving a review on headsets whilst wearing them over a beanie. Okay then 👍🏻

I have a questuion. Sony inzone buds, arctis nova 7p, or the pulse elite? I cant choose 😂

I still can't see how you can fully review a headset with the sounds filtering through a thick hat between the headphones and your ears?

Can i connect it to an xbox?

Yeah you’re compromised. As soon as you said the bass was better on the elite I knew this review is sketch

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

I bought the elite headset.. oh boy im conflicted!!!

Tempted just because it's pulse and they have wonderful quality but I still have the original. Might snag them on sale. Thanks for the review.

My one keeps disconnecting randomly and this is a way de spread issue

Made me buy it 😎😎

I have the pulse elite, when they work they are amazing. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to connect mine to my ps5 for the past week, disconnected out of nowhere. Annoying as hell

Also the old ones don’t work with portal

I got mine yesterday and get nothing but random disconnects every 12 to 15 minutes

Nope. They keep disconnecting mid game. Used them 4 times disconnected 3 times. Returning them tomorrow

i liked the vid but i got turned off once you showed it has a mic stick

“The texture of the material against your ear feels more plush by comparison.” But you’re wearing the beanie the whole time. Doubt.

Could you send me a pulse elite I can’t find one anywhere

Got to be honest to your reviewers. I have these headphones, and they keep disconnecting, and everyone is saying the same thing.

Ear cups are replaceable!!...cant wait to get upgraded pads in about 4 months lol

I thought pulse 3d mic sounded better

This is not a sponsored review but the headset was sent to me by playstation for free for the purpose of this review. 🙄

Nope sold mine prefer the original pulse.Kept disconnecting and because I wear glasses the light keeps reflecting annoying 😂

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.

lol I hope you didn’t test it with the beanie. Planars need perfect seal

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

It looks cool but I couldn't spend that much on a headset

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.

Man I dont know if you're just tryna model a fashion form with the headset over the beanie or what but should really get someone else for the b rolls with these kinds of things

Do you game in a fridge? Take the beanie off lol

I had the pulse elite for 1 day and returned it. Here's why: 1 the lack of bass, there's no bass at all only highs and mids. 2 the comfort, they are uncomfortable and don't feel right. 3 the ratteling noise of the earcups, they are to lose and feel so weak. 4 the random disconnecting, they loos connection couple times every hour. 5 the lights on the headset are in the vision of the player. 6 they are not fit good with the psvr2. 7. No replaceable ear pads. Save your money and buy another headset!!

Sony dual sense Edge controller Function button Control new Elite headset

i already have the pulse 3d and i'd probably rather get the earbuds than the elite

How can you hear them properly,when your wearing a hat bro?

How can you even make a video titled is it better? It’s an alternate model to the same thing that already exists.

Yes, yes it is. Save yourself the minutes and just buy it

This dude still using the headset backwards 🤦🏻‍♂️ not even the first time

Why don’t you take off the beanie to review? Weird

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

So basically if you have an H5, H7, or H9 this Elite is pointless. They have the inzone line of headsets, idk why they even made another pulse headset....

No point buying it since they'll just roll out another in 5 minutes lol.

Bruh really "used" his headset over his beanie. How the fuck can u review a headset and u ain't even showing yourself ACTUALLY WEARING it correctly.

God, Sony’s hardware is just so hideous this generation. I’m glad they put out the effort to try new things but why did they choose this design language for all their stuff? Everything looks like knock off chinese products

Slightly increased pricepoint? It’s $50. That’s 50% lmao Nothing slightly about that KEVIN.

Pointless to own one at all I just use Bluetooth on my tv and the mic on the controller get a hell of a lot more battery life that way

How can you expect to do a proper review if you have a woolly? Hat curry, which means you re not really experiencing the headset properly.

Sony needs to hire a new designer. The design is ugly !
