NEW PS5 PULSE Elite Headset: Everything you NEED to know

[@SpawnPoiint]

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?

[@kickupgamer]

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

[@SpawnPoiint]

That’s awesome to hear.

[@ben_vanetta4214]

Hey, do you have an update? I maybe want to buy them but heard that they break easily.

[@kickupgamer]

@@ben_vanetta4214 Mine are still in perfect condition but I am easy on em. They sound great and I love the battery life. I use them for many play sessions without charging. The battery life is probably the best part followed by sound quality then by durability.

[@cenchv2]

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

[@Happybanana273]

Bro you are one of my favorite gaming KZbinrs keep doing what your doing man

[@lutchee]

Same here just fun and engagng to watch you also may have conviced me to buy this headset with simple and easy explanation Great video Keep it up man 👍

[@MisterReen]

The silver plates for the console looking pretty sexy.

[@shvy100]

I have retro grays from D brand sexy asf (they're matt btw)

[@Bananananananana-t1l]

​@@shvy100how much did the plating cost?

[@Brani]

Is it better than the first one?

[@SpawnPoiint]

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

[@5jgarza]

Mine arrived yesterday at my door. Pre ordered then when they were first announced. They are so comfy and the sound is great. I love them.

[@arthurmorgan8794]

Any updates? How are they

[@mr.batman9549]

Nice bubble wrap test, brilliant!

[@Tattooed_Reflex]

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

[@SpawnPoiint]

Thanks dude!

[@multiverserse_of_bricks]

Your videos are always helping me out! Keep it up👍

[@SpawnPoiint]

Thanks for the support on the channel.

[@classyanglo6825]

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

[@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?

[@kingrofty]

Definitely getting one of these. Thanks for the review!

[@GregoryCunningham]

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

[@matheuscabral9618]

That alone made me buy it

[@ern05_04]

PS5 Headset. Spot on as always mate. Just put my order in on the back of this video.

[@JoshuaLovesDoggos1]

5:49 EQ settings has always been on PS5 dude... that's what the base headphones have had since launch lol, i cranked all the bars up on each list as it makes everything loud

[@SpawnPoiint]

Incorrect. The console and Pulse did not launch with EQ settings (my original Pulse 3D review will prove that on the channel. It came a lot later). Even the earbuds (launched 2 months ago) didn't support the EQ settings as that feature was only added 2 weeks ago via an update. EQ settings only works on specified headsets.

[@YaLadMitch]

​@@SpawnPoiint They were recently added for the new headphones (explore and elite) but have been around for the original pulse for a long time

[@stylusr]

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

[@OP_Stark]

Need a comparison video with the inzone h7

[@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❤

[@blackcrow9231]

Doesn’t the pulse explore earbud also connect to the portal? 4:08 for context.

[@SpawnPoiint]

Yes, although that's not a headset.

[@blackcrow9231]

@@SpawnPoiint fair point

[@visiblehiggs130]

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

[@ayeeewood]

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

[@VictorSpecker]

Should I get the pulse elite, the steelseries arctis 7+ or the steelseries arctis nova 7p?

[@dopestain3759]

Same ???

[@litosalas8495]

What did you get ?

[@VictorSpecker]

@@litosalas8495 I got the pulse elite l, but it broke so now im waiting to get it repared. Its a very nice headset but im not sure if the build quality is really good.

[@gjlint6110]

I already have it pre ordered. Sweet, thank you Jesony 😊

[@ManchesterTechGuy]

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

[@AlwaysVotingMAGA]

Do these work for Xbox & Nintendo? I want just 1 headset to work for all platforms, screw buying another one just to play on Xbox/Nintendo.

[@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.

[@nickj6445]

These pulse headsets really are elite 🤯

[@Somegamer59]

Would you say these are better or about the same as the Inzone H9?

[@cubitus883]

Wondering the same and is equilizer not appearing for inzone H9?

[@joser9328]

the inzone h9 are good but the headband have issues where the leather comes undone. its a known issue and sony wont replace them. happened to me and ive only had them for two months.

[@TISUAL]

​@@joser9328that's why I didn't get them, I got the steelseries arctis nova 7p instead. Looking for another headset too maybe something even better. I want one that blocks out loud noises

[@jamesstevens968]

Hi people I've had every gaming audio headphones jbl 910p turtle Beach stealth pro Logitech pro x2 razer barracuda pro Sony inzone h9 wireless corsair virtuoso pro wired audeze maxwell are too too heavy and there boring no immersion they been sitting on my desk for three months now I have the astro a50x and there my only driver all day every day the immersion is second to none there the best headphones on the market I'm its going to be hard to top them stay safe and happy gaming to all

[@Fellamemes]

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP 3:32 i have a ps5 slim and the dongle is in the back rn, it keeps disconnecting so im gonna buy an adapter to plug it into the front, but will it still work with the adapter? Some one please help me

[@zac6820]

Hi spawnpoiint what’s better the Astro a50 x or these headphones Also just want to say I’m a big fan of the channel and thanks for uploading these videos I love watching them

[@A5hTriX]

I bought the A50x and like many others, returned then after a week. They have a constant terrible sounding white noise whine, the side buttons don't worth eith the ps5 as advertised and the connection situation is a joke and always looks messy. I went back to my Steelseries 7p+ as they're a quater of the price and amazing.

[@imcrypro669]

Zac do you use a external microphone or just a headset with a mic?

[@jensvandesijpe]

I also had the A50X and I’m going to return them. I have no issues with white noice. But for the price I was not blown away. The biggest issue is the convoluted setup on PS5 where you need to set it as a TV etc.. So I’m thinking to be going for this Pulse Elite

[@zac6820]

@@imcrypro669headset

[@xheiii]

Used your video to decide whether or not to buy it. Bought it and I'm pleased with it. The way they sit on my head and dont slide off is very comfortable although the mic quality could be better but its decent enough for the casual enjoyer. Thanks for the review.

[@SpawnPoiint]

Great to hear!

[@KA-zq3yp]

Love your videos. Great input, straight to the point and not gimmicky. Thank you for the time you put into this. I appreciate you. Cheers.

[@hectarpit]

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

[@DMC86X]

I have the pulse explore ear buds. I was wondering if I bought the pulse elite headset will both sets work off one link usb dongle?

[@Marky-Mark1337]

I'm curious too

[@chewman09]

These or Astro A50x?

[@captainp367]

I gotta wait till April for it to come to the country I live in 😢

[@Coalie87]

I ordered one today, and im glad you mentioned the pad movement is by design. Otherwise i would've thought it broken straight out of the box.

[@thegodkiller187]

Boom ,been waiting for this video 🎉

[@SpawnPoiint]

Cheers, appreciated as always.

[@AntonyMorris-xx5vu]

I have mine coming on the 21st I can't wait to try them out

[@Joshua-xh6bm]

I've been going back and forth on whether I want one of these. My OG Pulse headset has fallen one too many times, but $150 is a pretty hefty chunk of money

[@SpawnPoiint]

If you like the OG Pulse, you'd like these.

[@B1inded3agle__]

Well to be fair these are cheaper then the pulse earbuds and theres even more expensive than this

[@Joshua-xh6bm]

Yeah I think I'll cave and get them. It helps that they're dropping just in time for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. It's like Sony knows me.@@SpawnPoiint

[@ModestBoxBread]

Hope you get to my comment: I just bought the Pulse Elite and everything works great but the volume up and down buttons on the headset don’t seem to work at all. I press them and nothing happens. I have to go to the sound settings to adjust the volume. Am I doing something wrong here? I tried restarting ps5, resetting headset and nothing seems to work. Let me know. Is anyone else having this problem?

[@connorjoe6700]

Might wait for the black one.

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

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

[@BerkyTurkey_YT]

thank you very much for this review it was very helpful I really appreciate it

[@yamilvazquezpr]

I updated today, now they work perfect

[@asantewhittington19]

How do you think these stack up against the Inzone H9 headset?

[@mobile_matt]

Probably not aloud to say 🤫

[@aaronsmith7143]

Inzones use such an archaic version of Bluetooth I would say most new wireless buds or headsets are better. People like the inzones because of the bass but I found the bass to be overbearing and muddy.

[@1992Apocalypse]

The bubble wrap test was great. I think it closely emulates someone with a bag of chips

[@91lifetime23]

This is just sad world we live in man, 2024 is about to end and there are still no headsets that are worth buying, ive been doing research on all these headsets for under $200 for a few months and there are NO decent connectivity and sound quality that are worth buying because they break or dont work properly, this if fckud up

[@RedFloshken]

Could you compare the audio quality between the Elite and the Pulse 3d? Yes the Elite surely sounds great but how much great?

[@ifedero3762]

This was a 10 minute commercial for a product they gave him for free. No mention of important features like Dolby Atmos, just some pre written script about magnetic drivers. How about the sound quality? Might be important

[@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!

[@jaystark4717]

Hey did you ever pick this up? I wanna know for vr if it then fully lets you listen to the game audio and still listen to my streamers or videos on KZbin on my phone at the same time. Idk if vr messes with that at all?

[@musicaltravesty]

@@jaystark4717 I did buy it at launch and I love it, but I've never used it in the way you describe. The audio quality and battery life are enough to recommend it. I can pair it simultaneously to my PS5 and my phone via bluetooth, but I don't know if using it in VR changes anything.

[@ruben_santos]

I'm going with this one!! 👍

[@phillipobed1]

Do these fit over the PSVR2 and feel comfortable?

[@Someone-vi8ds]

I was asking this myself too but with the shape I’m not sure will have to see

[@MIKEDRIFT]

Will they fit over psvr2?

[@joeyn.9135]

how comfortable are they compared to Maxwell, and is the legit PS5 control convenience and comfort level worth taking a small hit to the Maxwell sound quality?

[@yurarnd8135]

Maxwell best for sound quality

[@ProjectGamerYT]

I wonder if you could put a magnet strip on the hanger to attach it to the side of a metal desk

[@SpawnPoiint]

That's a brilliant idea!!!

[@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

[@unfinishedsentenc5308]

Hows the sound quality compared to the 3D?

[@VeiiiHermanos]

Bro your videos are super entertaining I can’t wait for your next video ❤

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

[@smilingfoegaming2907]

Only thing I wish was different was the band that rests on your head, I prefer a cloth material over plastic, over long use it does leave a red mark. Only reason why I prefer steel series over these!

[@TISUAL]

Yeah right now I have the steelseries arctis nova 7p, but I do want another headset. Thinking of one that blocks out noise. Also, they haven't released a ps headset that is customizable. Don't think you can take off the ear cushions or the headband.

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
