NEW PlayStation PULSE Explore - Dope or Nope?

[@applesyo]

Not hearing the chip was crazy. Hopefully more people get these buds. Hate the crunching and sucking down soda noises.

"sucking down soda noises" Speak for yourself. 😏

Bro it can be connected with ps4 or not?

[@xXSinForLifeXx]

Bruh the chip test was the best way to sell these buds. Thats so important for gamers.

[@gameskyjumper1721]

I've been doing this on my Inzone H7. I plugged the dongle to PS5. So I was listening to game sound and YT podcast on my phone at the same time. And before that PS5 Discord integration, I was able to listen to the game sound from PS5 while talking to my friend on DC from my phone. This dual Bluetooth setup is amazing.

[@Brandon0159]

That’s my favorite feature of the inzone headsets

[@EliteScentsOnly]

​@@Brandon0159I have the H9s and absolutely love them

[@theshock25isback]

Do the Inzone work well on the PS5? How’s the mic quality? Ear comfort for long sessions? I’ve been waiting on the Pulse Explores to come out for awhile now. But if the Inzones are the same or better I might go that route.

[@L00k96]

I would love to see a comparison of the two! I just bought the inzones want to know if I picked the right one 👀

[@Jdb63]

Same. Waiting patiently

[@JQM2020]

The inzones are amazing

[@freeman2810]

@@JQM2020 That´s true. I also bought them. But they have a huge flaw...the settings i made in the Inzone App on PC doesn´t carry over to the PS5 and the sidetone is on default way too quiet on PS5. I hardly could hear myself in game chat and that is a big problem and distracting.

[@Jason-..-]

i am waiting for the pulse elite

[@Jdb63]

@@freeman2810 I agree. It's like trying to talk to someone while plugging your ears with your fingers. Not fun

[@Brandon0159]

Thank you for mentioning that in the mic test because it’s true the audio always sounds much worse in a KZbin video vs using it in person on the console. The ps5 has some sort of super audio upscaling cause it sounds so much better when I use party chat vs talking on discord

[@mtall1238]

I also think it has to do with the side by side comparison with his studio grade mic and the earbuds mic, makes it sound much worse then it is

[@Ardalan.Shakeri]

Ty for review. I would appreciate a comparison video between inzone earbuds. It all seems that inzone earbuds gives more value and comfort for same price. Planar or more comfort, ANC, and 12 hour battery. I wish the departments worked together and made the pulse explore more expensive, but gave all the features the inzone gives. Any thoughts ?

[@JoshuaJohnson-zj8sr]

The only problem with them is they disconnect from the PlayStation for no reason at random times

[@ultimategamer4969]

Mainly interested in this for my PSVR2, using the Pulse 3D on top of my VR gives me headaches, just sits too tight for me.

[@staygoldbang6785]

Would it even work? You can't use the headset wirelessly so why would these. They have to be physically plugged in unless I missed something

[@SirHandy]

⁠@@staygoldbang6785You can use the Pulse 3D wirelessly whilst playing/using PSVR2. It’s the only way I play my VR2 as the less wires floating around my head the better. If you had the Gold Headset you could even do wireless with PSVR1

[@TakinArrowsToTheKnee]

YES! I literally pre-ordered in the middle of watching this video just for my PSVR2. As soon as he said the 3D audio was good and didn't feel like he was at a disadvantage, that was all I needed to hear.

[@staygoldbang6785]

@@ultimategamer4969 I swear I did this multiple times and it refused to work. Was there an update? I thought it was because they wanted it to have the fastest connection through the wire for the sound. I’ll check again

Good call on trying the different tips. I’m also feeling like a size larger than normal fits best.

[@omiewearnkhakis9780]

The vr mic is crazy good so I assumed it was going to be pretty solid

[@Tsukasa941]

Being planar drivers is why the battery is only 5 hours ei: they are normally hard to drive so more power to get them to sound they way they do. Great review man looking forward to mine coming in. And when you say tweaking these is probably more like better EQ’ing to your taste, which will probably come in a later update much like the OG elites

[@prdator4829]

Question, pro contoler FN button volume up down and game chat mix left right does that work? Or do we have EQ settings in the ps5 menu same as with the pulse 3d?

[@finnetube1]

Would really appreciate that comparison between the Pulse explore and the inzone buds

[@Chr15Payne]

I'd love to see a comparison to the Inzone Buds. But I think my mind is made up already, the Inzone Buds are the ones for me. It's only missing the simultaneous bt+PS5 audio as far as I'm concerned, maybe I'll finally get that in my next headset purchase, but if these are my choices for earbuds right now the inzone is just more fully featured.

[@Brandon0159]

And they have twice the battery life

[@charles3029]

Simultaneous featuew is a big one.....Not sure why they have those in h9/7 and remove it in buds

[@WouldUKindly7]

I saw the PC Mag review today and they mentioned the 3D audio was poor and so was the bass but I’m thinking that might be due to the issue with different ear top sizes like you mentioned. Did you feel the 3D audio was poor compared to the Pulse 3D headset or the same?

[@willylumplump7405]

Please do a comparison with the inzone earbuds, I already have them and have pre ordered the PS5 earbuds, so I would love to see them head to head. Thank you again for the great content!

I would love to see a video vs. the Sony inzone buds. I’m having a difficulty deciding if I should buy the Sony explore pulse over retail price or if should buy the inzone which is still selling for $200 . I don’t mind buying the explore pulse over retail but is it worth it .

[@deykno87]

it's crazy the new planar full size headphones coming in Feb with the charging stand are 149😂 I think somebody swapped the prices by accident and they kept it like that lol

[@Tsukasa941]

Getting the planar driver that small and sounds they way it does probably was a lot of r and d, hence the price difference. The fully sized ones are probably comparable to the maxwell’s so tech that’s already been established but only time will tell with that’s one

[@Burn_In_Oled_On_Purpose]

Audeze the audiophile company that sony acquired has put planar magnetic drivers in there wired iems and now sony has them in the wireless earbuds in this video. I have the hifi man he4xx over the ear wired headphones and they use planar magnetic drivers. Planar magnetic drivers were designed to have bass that is tight and precise and to minimize and have less distortion than there dynamic drivers counterpart since most headphones and speakers use dynamic drivers.

[@TWIM1971]

Thanks guys. Looking 👀 forward to the pulse elites video.

Since Sony sent an update that you can adjust the tuning do you think we could get maybe an updated review?

Not having a mute button is kinda a hit for me wanting to buy it(I want it for my PC). I don't like to use push to talk, so I always have it on. So I always mute from the mic. I might still buy it for the PS5.

As a dad I usually have one ear cup off so I can also hear the kids. Could I use only one ear bud?

[@homegrowntwinkie]

Do these have the ability to use only one at a time? Or do I *have* to use both? Typically when at work, I throw a single earbud in so I can still hear. I know lots of people will say audio pass-through, but... eh, I still prefer it.

It’s a little pricey and doesn’t have Noise Cancellation but being able to connect to multiple devices is cool and maybe I missed it but I wonder if the voice amplifier thing where he ate the chip works on your phone too ?? Idk but I’ll do little bit more research and probably get them, my PS5 controller speaker is so low and can’t hear the party that good, like I have to hold it to my ear.

[@rccharger21]

Interesting use case/question for you: My wife and I game in the same room (back-to-back). We're both interested in switching from over the ear headsets to in headphones. My concern here is the chat mic for these. Do you have any insight on this? We game together with my brother-in-law and his wife frequently. Because we're in the same room, sometimes it'll echo from each other's mic. Do you think we'd have that same issue with these? Thanks!

[@digitalsteel5]

[@EdwardElric6464]

They literally make like 50$ planar IEMs with a cable mind you but still. Planar has become the new hottness in ChiFi in ears so they are everywhere now. But a planar TWS for gaming is still kinda unique. These should be using planar drivers from Audeze, which would make it the cheapest in ear from Audeze and the first TWS from them or even using their drivers. Although Audeze are not known for making good in ears, Sony's true wireless offerings are mostly received well.

[@Mr.DyeTheFishGuy]

So as for this vs the Pulse Elite, does anyone know why these are more expensive? Is it just the portability aspect? The Pulse Elite seems like the better deal if you're just using them for gaming headphones at home. Especially with the included display/charging stand. I'm sure they sound better as well, just based on the fact the speakers are bigger. I know we're still waiting about a month until they come out but, can anyone shed light on this for me?

I bought them day one. I enjoy them. Soundstage is exceptional. One big issue that Sony will need to address. Is while using on PS5 with the dongle they seem to disconnect far too frequently. Should NOT be happening when using a direct link to the dongle. Incredibly annoying during games that are competitive.

That chip test was defining for me 😂. I do wsnt a comparison to that and inzone and maybe Samsung Earbuds and even Razer Hammerhead because I'm an advocate of earbuds because of its simplicity and convenience. How is the bass??? That's one importsnt question too. Also I would like to know if it somehow works on Switch and Xbox. I know my gold ps headset works on my switch

[@xxnike0629xx]

It definitely wouldn't have hurt to have rubber feet on the case. But chip eating sounds is all part of the online gaming experience. 🤣 5 hour battery life is not that good. $200 is asking a lot. I do agree that maybe $150 would've been a more fair price. I wouldn't mind seeing a comparison video.

That's a good point but you really got to do your research because if you're like me and like to connect multiple devices the inzone don't do that. They don't support Bluetooth multipoint.

[@azarfe11Life25]

You can literally be playing the game and be connected to your phone at the same time a call will come in and it will lower the sound of the game.. With that in mind that might be the reason why there's no meat button on the earbuds themselves because you can mute the mic on the controller while still talking on the phone and hearing what's going on on the game...
