Hey bud i have a question I bought these but can I also use my AirPods Pro with the ps5 as well

[@ethanator321]

I got my pulse headset today for my ps5 and I love them!!

[@farzadjahanfard]

Are they goo I've ordered mine today they are coming I choose these over 7P £70 cheaper as well here are you happy???

[@randywave7]

What do you like the most about them?

[@ItsCaputo]

One clarification: The Pulse 3D Headset DOES include a USB-A to USB-C charging cable which did not make the video.

[@AA-oi8fd]

I’m probably one of the few that really likes the design, I hate the other square shape headphones

[@philippecote2352]

Am I the only one who has audio delay on this video?

[@Jason-ut3ou]

Nah there is one

[@jonkthompson]

I've had my PS5 since November and I'm just now getting around to shopping for a Headset. After watching this video, your video comparison to the Steel Series and for the $99 price point, I'm sold. Like any product it's sometimes hard to base a decision on just written reviews. I think your overall objective critics seemed very genuine and fair. You've gained a Subscriber!

[@ItsCaputo]

Glad to have helped with your purchase decision and welcome aboard!

[@TheOurVids]

There was a slight delay in your audio. Slight but I definitely noticed it.

[@videoDKNY]

Was watching you video while working. I thought this man definitely has 200k subs, then I saw you only have 11.1k subs. Good content!

[@ItsCaputo]

🙏🏼 onward and upward my friend!

[@HiCZoK]

What I like with these aside from great sound quality is that the ear pads, even though they seal nicely, don't make me hear my heartbeat and are not extremely hot like many over ears. Btw I recommend connecting dongle to pc. It works and music sounds very good

[@DanielCrespo24]

How do you connect the 3D pulse to a new dongle. It’s the push to pair not the little reset hole.. I can’t figure this out.

[@Pcolafashion]

Yo while playing call of duty these headphones are a literal cheat code for footsteps and sound you can hear the enemy from a far distance your kd will definitely go up with these headphones if you life FPS games

[@squalomik88]

Are you talking about Warzone? I've read some comments where people say that they are only good with Cold War but bad with Warzone. One more thing, do they fit the whole ear inside? The earcups look perfectly circular, not that ergonomic..

[@Pcolafashion]

Cold War I don’t play warzone

[@mchestnut1970]

Just got my pair, awaiting for my PS5 to arrive this week. Can’t wait to hear them

[@lesgibson3827]

Only thing I dislike about this headset is the lack of base when playing FPS style games . Other then that ,excellent headset in my opinion. Good sound over all other than that and great design. Good video keep up the videos !

They feel super comfortable and I think they look really nice. The sound is decent.

[@JMPIMP254]

you mentioned you have used Airpods Pro in ps5......how??

[@ItsCaputo]

You can connect any Bluetooth headphones (not just airpods) to a PS5 by using a Bluetooth dongle. I use the Airfly from twelve south.

[@repeatingcobra9680]

Snapped the band on my Gold Wireless headset, so I ordered Pulse 3D. Should recieve it in a couple of days.

[@repeatingcobra9680]

@Versatile Wolf I loved my Gold headset. Had it about a year and it got heavy use almost on a daily basis, and it showed no wear an tear whatsoever. Funny thing is, when the band snapped, I didn't even notice. I noticed it when I was putting the headset back on and pulling the earcups apart had no resistance. Got my Pulse 3D on monday and I'm loving it. Audio quality feels better, when using it wirelessly, but mic quality is better when connected to the controller. And as a bonus the new headset matches really well with my VR headset 😁

[@repeatingcobra9680]

@Versatile Wolf getting the headset was never going to be a problem. In Estonia we have everything in stock exept for the consoles themselves. Controllers, media remotes, charging docks, headsets, everything. Sony even sent me two adaptors for the PSVR. Now I just have to wait for mid February, so hopefully I can get my hands on the PS5 itself 😂

[@pedro_ferreirinha]

@@repeatingcobra9680 i have the Gold 7.1 and the Pulse 3D and with the Ps4 i prefer the Gold... im Waiting for my ps5 to test the Pulse 3d and im praying not to regret buying them... did you tested both in the Ps5?

[@YeTheGOATNoCap]

The gold wireless were terrible the hinges are so weak and the faux leather completely peeled off in 6 months even though I would clean off any oils after use.

[@miked6097]

Used to use beats studio 3 and just use the jack for gaming. Just got the razer kaira pro(ps5). They blow the beats out of the water.! Game audio is amazing, hearing footsteps ect., and the haptic on low is just perfect. Still can tell where that vibration is coming from in game and for music and movies just extra bass.!!! They are fire they have haptic and RGB you can set them how you want. I prefer low haptic for everything. They took the place of my beats easy. Stay safe. Check them out. They look pretty clean to.

[@mikedaze9322]

Got my pulse 2 days ago and love them thus far.. only downside is the uncomfortably from first putting them on, but it does quickly vanish. They were purposely made for the ps5 so it only makes sense to grab a pair, if you're rockin' ps5.. if not, pass on them. There are much better cheaper headsets for the ps4.

[@MonsteRNieR]

Yeah they are a bit uncomfortable the first time you use them, I thought it was just me haha

[@chavezfps9369]

How long did it take for them to get comfortable though ?

[@Jason-ut3ou]

Your production qaulity is great man, just a slight audio delay and maybe adjust some of the mic levels you leak slightly, but first video ive seen of yours and shocked good stuff, keep at it man.

[@ItsCaputo]

Appreciate the kind words! Not sure what happened with the audio delay here, but again ty.

[@kooper6176]

Are these better then the Sony PS4 platinum headset when using on ps5

[@connormunro1657]

Are they good for warzone

[@Skywalkup]

I got the Pulse 3D for my PS5 and the sound was great, but i have a smaller than average head so they didn't fit right. If i wanted to use them comfortably I'd have to put on a hat or something. I ended up returning them since for $100 I want them to fit well. Just a warning if you have a skinnier head!

[@WorldOfGamingShepke]

Did you listen to spotify or music in general and was sound and bass good?

[@ItsCaputo]

Apple Music stored on my iPhone and streamed while using the 3.5mm cable

[@kobevelasco5214]

Listened to spotify using wire mode. Amazing. Did not regret buying one. Recommended headset overall

[@damjan9257]

Hey man, do your ears fit inside the holes or are they pressing on top of your ear? I'm worried they will not go AROUND my ear but rather on top of it, which presses it down. What is your experience with that?

[@ItsCaputo]

Pressing on top, the cups are not large enough for my ears to fit inside.

[@Jbersosa79]

Has anybody had problems with these headset with the audio cutting in and out

[@Jc50gt]

Does the 3D audio only work with this headset? Will my current headset not have 3D audio? (Playing games that support that immersive audio of course)

[@ItsCaputo]

It’s a headset dependent feature and without knowing which headset you own, I would say it’s unlikely to support 3D audio.

[@Jc50gt]

@@ItsCaputo i own the Razer Thresher 7.1 headset

How's the mic tho

[@iAmJayliin]

Bought a pair yesterday, haven’t tried them out yet. My daily over ear headphones are AirPods Max… so I’m not too sure if they compete with them lol

[@ItsCaputo]

The Pulse works great as purpose-built headphones that are used for gaming, but there's no comparison with the AirPods Max.

[@tomanwatson4572]

Hey Idk if you will see this but I have a PS5 but if I want to use this with my Xbox controller using the 3.5 .mm plug?

It should work though I don’t have an Xbox to confirm it

[@tomanwatson4572]

@@ItsCaputo Thank you so much dude I appreciate it!!

[@JXGTXR]

Would you say the headphones are durable through knocks and hits. Just in case i rage

[@ItsCaputo]

Lol, so the headphones aren't flimsy by any means and they have good flex. I would think the headphones would take a few throws across the room before breaking.

[@JXGTXR]

@@ItsCaputo that’s good to hear thanks

[@kooper6176]

Are these better then the Sony PS4 platinum headset when using on ps5?

[@ItsCaputo]

I don't own the platinum headset so I can't comment on the comparison, but I can tell you that ps4 games remastered for the PS5 sound better because of the new audio codec giving a wider soundstage so at the minimum, there's a net-positive.

[@jasonmoffitt9984]

My Samsung tv has a usb plugin. Do you know if they will work for any sound coming from the tv or is it just for the consul and gaming only?

[@ItsCaputo]

That's a good question and it's going to differ from TV to TV. I will plug it into my Vizio today to tell you what I experience.

I had the original pulse headset for the ps3 and was using them on my ps4 but they’re designed poorly has they would break above the motors. Now I have a ps5 I’ll probably grab a set of these

[@samirajmeri]

Good content, informative and precise 👍 apart from one thing, audio delay from the youtuber.

[@staceyaustin4140]

Why does my sound on my ps5 pulse 3d head phones keep going in and out please respond asap

[@ItsCaputo]

Hi Stacey, I don't think I understand the scenario so if you can provide more detail it would be helpful. Do you experience this issue while in-game audio or while using the chat function? Does this happen with one game or every game you play? What happens when you plug in the 3.5mm jack into the controller; does the fading audio stop, or continue?

[@xWaxxy]

I’m assuming you mean Sony XM3, not MX3?

[@davesmith3682]

No mention of the battery life? Did I miss something?

[@ItsCaputo]

I mentioned 12-hour battery life a few times during the video and it's one of the reasons I would recommend against it if you have *really* long gaming sessions. The Arctis 7P have 24-hour battery life.

[@321RrelyT]

Have you experienced any interference/connection issues? My last wireless pair had a lot of connection issues.

[@ItsCaputo]

Sorry for the delay in responding (no pun intended, really). I haven't experienced any connection or latency issues with in-game audio while playing games locally. It's hard to pinpoint latency for server-based games based on the number of variables.

Hey man have you tried how other people hear the audio in a party? Some people say that he's terrible, other that is good

[@ItsCaputo]

In my experience, my spoken audio sounds really good in most use cases. The audio starts to breakdown when variables within my control like the distance between headset and receiver, interference from other in-band devices as well as outside of my control such as latency and saturation on the far side (the person I'm talking with ) which contribute to perceived low quality. If I was optimizing for distance and interference, I would move closer and then possibly add the 3.5mm cord to avoid in-band congestion. Hope that helps.
