So will the Spider-Man EQ apply to the new headset or do I have to use a different/new EQ preference?

[@BrunoOliveira-vo9wq]

Best PS5 accessories content channel, only right here. Great video, champ. I'm waiting to open pre-sales so I can purchase the Pulse Elite.

[@DanielZH]

Much appreciated Bruno, I'm glad you like them, hopefully, they fix the small bugs with the software until then!

[@simoneonorato3712]

When you use settings for rainbow 6, is better turn on audio 3D or is better to turn audio 3D of? Thanks

[@DougieJonesFBI]

I'd love to use mine more but it keeps randomly disconnecting. Really dissapointing since the audio quality is really good 😢

[@fadytamim3509]

Same here! The pulse elite can connect to the ps5 and mobile phone simultaneously, what I noticed is when the headset is connected to both my ps5 and phone at the same time everything working fine. But when I don't connect my phone, here's when it starts disconnecting every 30min-1hr

[@DanielZH]

You're the third person telling me that, I'm not sure what the issue could be, mine didn't disconnect even once, and I played over 8 hours multiple times on PC and PS5. have you tried the front USB port?

[@DougieJonesFBI]

@@DanielZH yeah I've tried everything. Sometimes it can go for hours without disconnecting sometimes it's pretty quick it's completely random. Must be a faulty unit. I was hoping an update could fix it but sony hasn't said anything

[@DanielZH]

@@DougieJonesFBI I can confirm it's fine on PC with no issues, and Pulse Explore had similar issues on PS5, probably be fixed with an update, but I'll try to use it more with PS5 and see if that happens to me too.

[@DanielZH]

Man, thank you for your videos, would u recommend disabling 3d audio for ps4 games? Or it just depends on 3d support for each videogame?

[@DanielZH]

Hi, some PS4 games with 7.1Ch output work very well with 3D Audio on PS5, however it depends on the game, but you can give it a try and see how it sounds, for example TLOU 1 and Uncharted games sound great.

[@tkbest94]

[@francescocaso6422]

@DanielZH Hi! I’ve been following your videos since I bought a PS5 more than a year ago, and I can’t wait for your pulse 3d settings for each game. Recently, Frontiers of Pandora was given to me and I tried two configurations from this video: story game and shooter. 3D audio sounds amazing when exploring, especially farthest sounds, but nearest ones like animals I’m haunting and when I use the bow are quite muffled. Which values can you suggest me? Thanks! P.S. do you think I must keep “headphones” option or “surround system” for pulse 3D in game menu?

[@abdoulaye8709]

Love your reviews bro ! Very helpful and informative. Are you still considering making a review of the console mixamp Astro TR headset for us console players out there? Thank you

[@ravencookie5141]

Hey just got the Pulse explore and watched your video trying to get a better idea of how the EQ settings work What would your recommend for general use pulse explore from shooters to chill gaming with music Think of jumping between God of War to The Last of Us and back to a quick match of warzone for example

[@blacka5760]

Hi, what I did for my pulse explore was +5, +5, +2, +2, +2. It worked really well for me, since it really boosted the bass and low freq to a nice level, without muffling, and also when I tried the settings from the vid, it seems that the pulse explore are quite different, since when you put mids and higs at 4 or 5 the voices between gameplays become really unpleasant when the character talks louder, kinda pitchy. We’re waiting for the new vid on Pulse Explore EQ, but just thought I would share my settings 😃👍

Hi, are you using Pulse Elite? imo it's very good, the directions in mid to close range are more accurate, however, if you feel better with stereo, use that, as I tested it in the past and now, it has improved and directions of bullet locations are better with 3D Audio on.

How do you determine EQ parameters? Do you use any measuring devices or do you just set the values ​​by ear according to your own feelings?

[@DanielZH]

I used the frequency response results that gadgetrytech channel tested and showed on his video as a reference than calibrated them based on the RAW game output (for that I have devices) and combined them to get a better sound profile, however, I'm waiting for Rtings. com tests and will provide a new video based on their test too.

I can’t say for sure (didn’t do a test) when I first started using the Elite it kept disconnecting (as mentioned by other users). I couldn’t find a fix but (my room is around 75F not too hot not too cold) I started having a fan to help cool the PS5 and my disconnect problems are gone (my thoughts were because I put the dongle on the back then it gets too hot and lose connection). never tested it again but I don’t have disconnect issues anymore

@@DanielZH By the way, do you know the exact frequency each of the bands address? I'm not having succes finding it, though I did find them for Sony's wireless (non-gaming) earbuds. Those also use a 5-band EQ but it goes from 6,3K to 16K (high & treble) and would have a hard time mitigating some of the Elite's quirks :/

When you start getting stick drift on the duel sense edge should you turn up the deadZone in the game or the deadZone on the controller?

The headset sounds quieter on PS5 (just like Pulse 3D) Based on a few tests I made, so they applied a preamp to lower the max volume already I believe, that's why this won't cause an issue in most cases up to 70-80%, but I'll test it on 100% volume to see how it works.
