Hope you enjoy this first look. This is a new 2024 headset (launches on Feb 21st).

[@haroonhanif80]

Did PlayStation give you the headset early then?

[@MonkeyD_Luffy175]

I was the the third comment and 7th like

[@Nala_1230]

thanks for adding the release date in writing as a pinned comment!

[@Dis2good]

Just in time for FF7 Rebirth!

[@suvallarisaraso]

If the USB adapter for the pulse 3D headset gets missing can the new USB for the pulse edge be paired to it?

[@MisterReen]

The silver plates for the console looking pretty sexy.

[@classyanglo6825]

Already got a pair on pre-order!! Thanks for the review, even more excited to get them now!

[@mr.batman9549]

Nice bubble wrap test, brilliant!

[@kingrofty]

Definitely getting one of these. Thanks for the review!

[@tusharshaw7384]

Somehow I turned off the notification bell by mistake then today I suddenly realized that and saw 3 videos already uploaded. Watched my way through all the 3 videos. Thats how good your contents are❤

[@hectarpit]

Thanks for the review! Answered all my questions! Will be picking these up next week!

[@CJProductionsZM]

I'm buying this 100%, my ears are going to love it so much.

[@SpawnPoiint]

If you're using the PULSE 3D, these are a nice step up!

[@hayden1255]

Just buy actual planar headphones. They'll be miles better

[@sandwhichbag]

⁠@@hayden1255 these are real planar headphones. It’s pretty obvious that these are based off the Maxwells by Audeze (known for planar magnetic drivers) and they were acquired by Sony around the time these headphones got announced.

[@georgeman1391]

​@@hayden1255 Doesn't include 3D audio

[@hayden1255]

@georgeman1391 there are headphones with 3D audio and 3D audio is inferior to planars with a dac amp regardless

[@Tattooed_Reflex]

Definitely gunna cop a pair of these for my PS5 thanks for the awesome video as always 🤘🏻

[@SpawnPoiint]

Thanks dude!

[@ManchesterTechGuy]

Loving the design consistency and great video as always. Can't wait to get my hands on them

[@SpawnPoiint]

Thanks for the support on the channel.

[@5jgarza]

[@ern1974]

[@connorohagan]

Great review, answered all my questions!

[@SpawnPoiint]

Thank you 🙏

[@brianplummer8170]

Just pre order mine great video.

[@JupiterMelon]

I remember buying my Arctis 7p after your older video. Glad to see PlayStation take a step up and perhaps contend with those headsets.

[@joeyn.9135]

perhaps? a wireless, lossless headset with planar magnetic drivers, for $150, blows most gaming headsets out of the water. 😅

[@BetaCypher]

​@@joeyn.9135facts not to mention while the mic isn't crazy, the ai noise reduction is INSANE on every video I've seen 😭 def need to cop.

[@DiegoSouza-ou6ei]

Is it better than arctis 7p?

[@thegodkiller187]

Boom ,been waiting for this video 🎉

[@SpawnPoiint]

Cheers, appreciated as always.

[@thomas25]

This guys videos are so peaceful. Keep up the good content 👍

[@DogManX]

Thank you. You’re the first person that stated mute from controller! WIN!

[@GREENGAMER41]

I love your content, I may have took a break from some of your videos but your videos are truly fire!😂

[@Jellyfish474]

Thank you I'm watching both your headphone and earbud review bavk to back

[@MoeSizlak]

PS5 Headset Always enjoy and appreciate your reviews. Very informative and entertaining with your setup and game footage. Keep up the great work !!!

[@yamilvazquezpr]

I updated today, now they work perfect

[@yochrisnelson]

Definitely an extensive and exceptional review as always!

[@MyGadgetsWorld]

This is awesome mate

[@stylusr]

Would you say this headset is way better experience on the ps5, than the Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro wireless?

[@syanhc]

Already preordered in December. It’s coming in a few days!!!❤

[@jerrauld]

Thanks for your insights, this helped me alot. I'm debating whther I get this instead of the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless headset. I saw your review on that headset too. Based on your personal experience, which sounded better out of the box (default settings)?

[@djcrezix]

Love it! Wearing it now!

[@visiblehiggs130]

How does the headset compare to other big giants like nova pro wireless? More details would welcomed

[@Shekina-0]

How much better is the overall sound quality? I'm talking about when playing videogames, music and videos. Is the sound quality kinda the same or is it worth upgrading? The sound quality of the PS Pulse are already insanely good, here I am hoping its even better with the PS PULSE Elite

[@kickupgamer]

I bought them yesterday. Played for 8 hours and they sounded amazing.

[@SpawnPoiint]

That’s awesome to hear.

[@Matthew_is_cool.]

Got mine yesterday, loving them so far! Haven't paired them with my Portal yet but will be doing that later today.

[@SpawnPoiint]

Enjoy dude 💪

[@SoothSlayerLA]

Just got my pair. Geeked 🎉😊

[@Vibelikerusso]

Wow that sound amazing I might have to cop it

[@thegodkiller187]

That's me sold & Paid for the pre oirder ,roll on next week. In spawnpoint we trust 🙏🏻🎮

[@MonKy-fm8zm]

Awesome video I’m totally gonna get me a pair but I’m really curious to see how they fit with the PSVR 2

[@princek4797]

Bro I remember when you were at 45K subscribers theres no way you've grown this much😭. Glad to say im an og💪

[@mariaturner371]

I can't wait to get mine that I preordered

[@puppetmaster7479]

I can’t even afford food

[@connorjoe6700]

Might wait for the black one.

[@jensvandesijpe]

How do you think they compare to the new Astro A50X? What would you recommend for only PS5?

[@ccarrero33]

Awesome video! They seem great! Do you know if the mic works on PC?

[@mexiwolf009]

This may be the best review of these headphones that I have seen. Especially the Mic section of this review, which was the part I was the most curious about. Good job SpawnPoiint, you are the best playstation reviewer out there. Way better than any of the main stream game medias reviews.

[@lexx348]

This pretty much unboxing with marketing info. Not really a critical review

[@jyoung188]

PS5 headset. Got these preordered, can’t wait.

[@user-op7yh6rs9x]

Thank you for the great Review! Will this work with PS4?

[@ZXE102R]

One thing I'd like to know. Are the foam cups the same as the pulse wireless cups? This way I can just buy them off Amazon when they inevitably start getting worn down. If the pulse elite has its own unique foam cups, I'm sure replacements will hit Amazon as well, but just wanted to confirm if they're the same nonetheless.

[@musicaltravesty]

PS5 Headset. The only unanswered question I have left is will this headset fit comfortably over my PS VR2 like the original Pulse does. I'm thinking yeah. Regardless, this video's convinced me I need this thing in my life! Thanks man!

[@beezthefoolie9724]

I like the pulse 3D over this just because you can toggle the in game and chat on the headphones

[@GREENGAMER41]

Yeah I’m thinking getting this vs any other headset for my ps5!

[@isaiahhooks7953]

How do they fit over the PSVR2? that’s my main deciding factor between these and the explores

[@jamesaden6018]

ps5 headset. also, i love your videos. you make the best content on youtube and i always look forward to your next upload. thanksfully, you posted this during my lunch break (im in school rn) so i could see it before i got home.

[@unfinishedsentenc5308]

Hows the sound quality compared to the 3D?

[@LK-cy5xe]

What TV are you using in the video to play your games?

[@GypsyGorilla]

PS5 Headset! What's your opinion on mic quality between these and the standard Pulse Headphones? I pre-ordered these specifically for a mic upgrade and hoping it's better. I love my pulse headphones but the mic quality isn't the greatest.

[@MRCM311]

will all the features work properly if I only use the 3.5 ??

[@ahsantechandgames7309]

Nice review bro

[@junxue7126]

So should I keep my nova 7ps or upgrade to this ? With the whole fuss about the planar magnetic drivers, the pulse elite looks pretty exciting.

[@OshaneC92]

PS5 headset!!! I’m definitely getting this!!!! Thanks for the review Spawn Point. You definitely sold me on this 🔥🔥🔥

[@ayeeewood]

I really wish the old pair could be muted from the controller rather only the headset. These have been updated well

[@garyowens9071]

I ready for mind next Thursday

[@BronxYTB]

I’m probably going to get the earbuds, mainly for my ps portal. Happy with my pulse headset I’ve already got for the ps5.

[@GREENGAMER41]

Would you recommend this to any beginners who have not had a gaming headset yet but want to invest in one?

[@marquecallicutt928]

I was leaning torwards the earbuds but i think im gunna get these

[@badllama8090]

Great Content as usual chap.... 👍👍✌✌👌👌🤘🤘🖖🖖🤙🤙 Are these any better than the normal pulse headphones for locating stuff in game by sound?

[@grundy1973]

Great vid mate. How are they compared to Nova 7P?

[@Brani]

Is it better than the first one?

[@SpawnPoiint]

Yes it's better than the original PULSE 3D headset.

[@ruben_santos]

I'm going with this one!! 👍

[@cereallord4103]

I have the steelseries artics nova pro Wired, would you recommend the elite or should I stick with the pro?

[@james6818]

Hey dude, great review, do you know if these have the same connection issues as the Pulse earbuds as they’re also using the PlayStation Link?

[@waltereleven]

Have you tested it with your Series X? What about Atmos support? I’m on the need to get a good pair that works on both 😬

[@Slips85]

I connected mine to an external DAC and they sound amazing for music and they were alright over Bluetooth

[@hammygaming8278]

Mine are arriving Wednesday 🔥ready for rebirth 💪🏻

[@marcusespinoza2961]

Had these for a week now…great headset do buy

[@OP_Stark]

Need a comparison video with the inzone h7

[@sydneyatutahi3927]

Awesome review spawny! 👍🏽 It has a lot of nice features 😍

[@MrWarfaregamer1]

In your opinion, how do these stack up against the Turtle Beach Stealth Pros? I do own a pair and while it’s a premium, high end headset, it is quite heavy for me and they tend to clamp on my ears, but the sound quality is great.

[@matthiasvsbn6114]

Which are better, these or the SteelSeries Arctis 7P+? Thanks :)

[@suvallarisaraso]

If the USB adapter for the pulse 3D headset gets missing can the new USB for the pulse edge be paired to it?

[@Darth_Zabrak]

Watching a review for the Pulse Elite, While wearing the Pulse 3D feels super meta. but I am very keen to get the Elite next week

[@daviddawson1423]

PS5 Headset. Question: is the only way to adjust the chat vs game audio without going into settings is if you have a PS5 elite controller? I kinda liked having those buttons on the side. I don't have an Elite controller and going into the settings to change the sound mid game would be a dealbreaker for me.

[@Opt4grunt]

What chair is that you got, brother? I need one. Oh, and thanks for the review ✌️ it was great! Just bought mine and am preparing to mount like you did

[@GregoryCunningham]

2:45 Power button that also doubles up as…the power button? Impressive!

[@matheuscabral9618]

That alone made me buy it

[@MIKEDRIFT]

Will they fit over psvr2?

[@martingill6996]

Looks good, when my existing pulse break its definitely the ps5 headset for me. Could you do a video on whether the after market plates that have a vent opening in the sides where the fan is are a good/bad idea ?

[@Grim_Reaper_Racing]

Great video man. About to pick up one. Any idea of what the screw size is for the charging hanger mounting plate?

[@Metroidam11]

Good review. The mic sounded underwhelming compared to your KZbin mic. But I guess the noise cancellation is really good.

[@pulluponme13]

headset looks nice, but how has your experience been with the 32inch asus oled monitor?

[@Tsukasa941]

Are you moving to these or sticking with the earbuds?

[@MatteoRubbo]

bro i love your videos they always getting better, but one question, whats better, the inzone h5s or the h7 or this one? because i cant decide between them, thanks and keep creating such great videos man!

[@TISUAL]

Don't get the h7 nor the h9 none of those in that brand. I've been seeing too many reviews on those headsets about the build quality. The headband tearing up.

[@mobile_matt]

Hey H9 are decent better than H7

[@Mark-mu4pj]

Great video, they seem like a good headset would buy them in black or another colour.
