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?

[@cench2k]

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

[@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

Mine are arriving Wednesday 🔥ready for rebirth 💪🏻

[@EUCvibes]

using a ps4 in 2024 is crazy when there is steam and pc out here

[@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.

[@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?

[@shanefoster8546]

Have you played cod with them was the sound good

[@eduvivan2562]

Do you prefer them over the astro a50x?

[@TekSlug]

They look pretty cool and a nice upgrade from the original pulse, but given that the frame on my pulse headset eventually cracked from my above-average sized head, and these look to be an even smaller fit, I'm gonna have to pass

[@Gunner_Viper]

How did you get it earlier 🕒?

[@SpawnPoiint]

As mentioned at the start, PlayStation sent it out to me.

[@m4l0k1y]

Does it fit with ps vr2?!

[@Full_Send_Gaming]

Will never understand how a first party PlayStation headset needs a dongle for for a PlayStation 5

[@MisterReen]

The silver plates for the console looking pretty sexy.

[@shvy100]

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

[@Brani]

Is it better than the first one?

[@SpawnPoiint]

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

Thanks dude!

[@SKLLZTHATKILLZ]

Not a fan of the look of these Sony products. Reminds me of concept cars that never make it to the market. They seem good tho, just an interesting style

[@multiverserse_of_bricks]

[@SpawnPoiint]

Thanks for the support on the channel.

[@VictorSpecker]

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

[@dopestain3759]

Same ???

[@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

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

Every time I plug in the USB nothing comes up on my screen I don’t understand

[@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❤

[@AlwaysVotingMAGA]

Why don't they make all these headsets available on all 4 gaming platforms? This should work on Xbox & Nintendo too. It does not so I guess I shouldn't buy it then?

[@stylusr]

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

[@classyanglo6825]

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

[@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.

[@A5hTriX]

Hope this review is more informative than the pulse earbuds. Those were absolute shit, didn't have an EQ, had terrible bass, constant disconnects and battery was pooh

[@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

[@kickupgamer]

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

[@SpawnPoiint]

That’s awesome to hear.

[@mr.batman9549]

Nice bubble wrap test, brilliant!

[@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?

[@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.

[@MyBoyDBryan]

I saw the IGN review and it was so lame and half assed. I saw your review and understood everything i needed to know about the product and more. Fantastic review you did m8!

[@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

[@theloudpack3668]

Ps5 headset 🎉

[@kingrofty]

Definitely getting one of these. Thanks for the review!

[@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.

[@captainp367]

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

[@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

[@AlwaysVotingMAGA]

Every headset should work on all 4 platforms! Why don't all headsets work on Xbox & Nintendo too?

[@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.

[@ern1974]

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

[@ManchesterTechGuy]

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

[@northeastways]

I just bought the pulse elite today, they’re pretty amazing only thing is I can’t control the audio balance like I was able with the 3d pulse, I don’t like the sound towards chat volume it’s pretty loud I rather have it 80% towards game volume for cod.. any help or recommendations on how to adjust the audio balance ?

[@1101bobada]

Is your audio balance greyed out and can’t be adjusted? If so I’m having the same issue!

[@1101bobada]

Have a feeling that the audio mix only works when you are in a party with other PlayStation users. Don’t think it works for random parties on warzone for example

[@OP_Stark]

Need a comparison video with the inzone h7

[@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

[@fraktux]

steelseries arctis 7p+ are actually more comfortable for me. These pulse elite ear cotton materials are not my thing

[@yurarnd8135]

Inzone H7 vs Pulse Elite who best for call of duty for foot stap ? who know?

[@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

[@gdayfrank]

Mate, I watched your review on these after watching the one IGN did. Just want to say thank you, because theirs was pathetic and yours gave a very good hands on review. Cudos fella 🙏

[@SpawnPoiint]

Glad to hear it. Thank you.

[@yaaakuzzzapsn5532]

And broken after 6 months

[@luigihatesyou4217]

Inzone H9 is a better option cuz this looks kinda wired

[@wheely_boi_6846]

I mean, this is a great looking product, but why would I want to spend that much MORE on a wireless headset when there are better performing audiophiles headsets (not to mention the thousands of IEM’s) for half the price? Sure convenience is incredibly nice for Wireless headsets, but wired headphones will last longer. But this is my opinion, you are still a fantastic reviewer nonetheless.

[@SpawnPoiint]

I'd say if you wanted a native PS5 headset that you can edit the EQ settings on the PS5, connect to the Portal AND use on other devices, this is a great headset. Yes there will be better wired headsets for less, but personally I prefer wireless headsets (and will take a hit on mic quality if needed). But thanks for watching and commenting!

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.

[@chewman09]

These or Astro A50x?

No game chat buttons is pretty big imo

Do you lose the ability to change game/party audio balance that the og headset had as a dedicated button?

[@minhn2888]

Yea you can’t do it on this headset, have to do it in settings on the ps5

[@GlutenFreeSteve]

I will probably buy a pair of these, I need something that's comfortable for a long time, at the moment I've got SteelSeries Arctis P+, I like them but there's not much padding inside them and the left side driver always seems to hurt my ear after three hours or so, I've been putting sponge in the ear cup but it doesn't seem to help so as long as the PULSE Elite are comfortable enough I'll buy a pair, are they available now?

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?

@@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.

[@DidzGaming-vz6gi]

No chatmix function? This is awful… that’s a downgrade for me. So glad I saw this before ordering them. I’ll stick to the 3ds, which I bought because my £350 steel series don’t support chatmix on ps5 either… (they require optical for chatmix, ps5 doesn’t have it) being able to turn the volume of other players chatting up and down on the likes of cod is a must.. simply couldn’t live without it after having it.. stuck with the annoying loud mic players so u can’t hear the game, footsteps…. Yeah.. this is crazy.

[@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

[@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

[@bigdhav]

I've used this for a week. Not impressed. Cushions "suck" your ears. Battery life is so-so, cushions won't last long, volume buttons are cheap and dont work when using Bluetooth, Bluetooth pairing is so difficult to set up. The sound quality is ok, but lack any bass so explosions or artillery fire is very disappointing. They also make a strange high pitched beep in each ear randomly which is ultra annoying! I enjoy using my Logitech pro headphones more.

[@chriswood3736]

So many disconnect bugs with this worthless headset I can't believe it's legal for them to push this garbage.... okay and now just when I thought they had fixed the constant disconnecting bug now it will connect to the headset but it will kill all sound from the PS5 to the point you have to restart the system.
