The main reason as to why most gamers will be purchasing this headset is because of its compatibility with Sony’s new Tempest 3D AudioTech, which they are implementing in all of the first-party games in order to give them a much more realistic and immersive sound quality. Some games such as Fall Guys and Genshin Impact don’t really see much of a boost when it comes to the audio but overall this headset stereo and simulated surround experience truly is awesome and definitely something that you will appreciate. If you are upgrading from the more traditional headphones then you’ll notice much more detail and clarity in even your songs on Spotify with your new headset. Once you have everything sorted and connected, the headset will sound amazing, with great stereo and simulated surround sound. After you’ve done these simple steps, the console will automatically connect to the Pulse 3D Wireless Headset and you’ll get all audio there instead of the TV’s speakers. PerformanceĪs you could expect from Sony’s official headset, they are extremely easy to set up and it is virtually as easy as just plugging them into the PS5’s USB port, via the included dongle, and turning them on. Then lastly you’ll also have a USB-C port for charging this headset, since it is wireless.Īnother thing to probably take note of, with regards to the design, is that if you are looking for a pair of headphones to take with you anywhere you go then these aren’t the best option for you because this just isn’t the type of thing that you’d wear outside of the house. You’ll also find a 3.5mm jack, which you can use to connect to any 3.5mm device you want via the included cable. When you look to the exterior of the left ear cup you’ll find various controls, such as a rocker for game and chat audio that can raise either individually, a mic monitor toggle so that you can hear yourself, a volume rocker, a mute button and finally a power switch. Although it may have been a little better to go with a silk and metal combo instead, the pleather stays pretty cool and comfortable, even during long gaming sessions, and the plastic really keeps the price down, which a lot of gamers will appreciate. Just as you may have seen in the previous Sony Headsets, Sony has decided to use a leatherette material for the earcups again, but there have been little to no complaints because these feel soft and supple, however when it comes to the plastic bridge that it has it is said to be a bit flimsy. The clamping force that this headset has, which is basically the amount of pressure that the cups will put onto your head, isn’t too much and is just enough to keep them securely on your head. Inside of the actual cans of the headset you’ll find some medium sized, 40mm drivers. The PS5 Pulse 3D Wireless Headset weighs in at 295 grams, which is what you could expect the average pair of over-ear headphones to weigh, so it really isn’t too heavy or too light.


Overall when it comes to its design, Don’t have managed to create the perfect balance between both a classic look but also a space age vibe, without leaning too much in one direction or the other. Looking at the awesome new design that this headset has, you’ll also notice that it is a lot sleeker too and even comes with an adjustable top strap so that you are able to get it to cradle your head and sit securely. The new Pulse 3D Headset gives a very similar aesthetic and style to the PS5, thanks to the awesome two-tone black and white colour scheme that it has. You will also have to accept that if you want to pay the lower price for this headset you’ll need to sacrifice the sound performance as well as the overall feature set that it has. If your budget isn’t that big for a pair of headphones for your PS5 then you could check out some alternatives, such as the Turtle Beach Recon 200, which is not only compatible with the PS5 but comes in at a low price of $49.99. The Sony Pulse 3D Headset will set you back $99, which definitely sounds expensive when you compare it to other third-party headsets that you may find out there, but if you think about everything that this headset brings to the table then the price is actually quite reasonable.
