Playstation Pulse Elite Vs InZone H5 - Which is The Best Headset for PS5?

[@Rushsero]

I've tried both aswell by now. I must say H5 wins comfort for me, and I also like the chatmix function on it. I don't need bluetooth. For me as a casual game the sound is more than alright! Plus I got it for 133 euro's instead of 149. I didn't like the elite comfort, plus the design. Sound (played a clip from hogwarts legacy) was good, but missed bass on a clip from helldivers. But since I know the comfort of the elite will start to annoy me, I think the H5 (even for ps5) wins for me (but then again, that's me). Thanks for the great review though! :)

Can you explain chatmix to me? I'm trying to decide a gift for my brother. Ik a lot about Sony commercial headphones, but gaming focus ones scar me😂

[@SweetKingTanner]

@@ljeans531 so you asked 4 months ago… but chat mix is a toggle to raise and lower the volume for party chat and the game. So if you wanna hear your friends better you just push the button to raise the chat volume, and vice versa

Pulse elite clarity in sound and the separation of sound and how crisp it sounds makes it stand out more for me

[@lukastemberger]

It's very crisp. Unfortunately also very unnatural and tinny.

Hey, thanks for the video and amazing work. There are a lot "versus" discussions on reddit about Pulse Elites vs Arctis 7P. Can you make a detailed comparison video pls? I think you will get a huge amount of views - because this is the most discussed battle. Regarding the fabric/leather comfort and more of the Bass comparison. Thank you in advance!

[@Darth_Zabrak]

My brother, the Pulse Elite have a 3.5mm headphone jack too

[@deriklarsen]

The other Inzone H headsets do not and that is what he is referring to.

[@tommilliken7740]

I'm just curious, why doesn't anyone use the SkullCandy Crusher Evo's for gaming, I just recently within the last month upgraded my phone from a LG V20 to a Nubia Red Magic Pro 9 and the sound quality and loudness is amazing in both Bluetooth and 3.5mm jack, I just figured I'd ask because I'm a nut for the SCE's, I use them for everything, now don't get me wrong the sound has nothing on the V20's ESS Dac, the Qualcomm Dac in the NRMP 9 sounds more like a flat setting closer to the MoonDrop Dawn Dac

[@riddick5019]

Skull Candy btw

[@petrospetridis368]

Is it me or Sony uses the same resources and similar materials underneath their headphones that cost between £100 and £400? The only thing that seem to differ is the design. I am a huge Sony fan in the paat 10years but think we are sold the same products with different outfit 🤔

[@WhatGear]

The technology has evolved quite a bit nowadays...but yes there is a chance that some parts are shared across the Sony companies

[@petrospetridis368]

@@WhatGear and between Sony's own products. I think WH1000X series including M2, M3, M4 and very likely M5 will likely share 90% of their electronic components and as customers we are paying a premium every other year for almost identical products. This is also happening with the majority of the headphones regardless of company nowadays

[@edulohay956]

That sound test was really helpfull. The sound quality is better on pulse elite and i dnd notice a lack of bass actually. One thing that called my attention is that you mentioned that the inzone H5 has 3.5 jack connection but as far as I know the pulse elite also has this only that it doesnt come with the 3.5 cable.

[@SurrealKai]

If you have h5 wireless on PS5 , if you hit the mute button on PS5 controller will it mute the mic ?

[@edulohay956]

@@SurrealKai the inzone headsets on Ps5 work basically the same. In regards of mic, you can only mute it by pulling the mic up on vertical position. At least that how it works for inzone H7

[@JohnCozen-sb9hl]

I need the bass if I'm gonna be blasting sabaton while spreading freedom to bots and bugs

[@LRon-ef7ni]

Using my og Pulse headphones, it seems like the H5 sounds better in the test. Im not sure if it’s indicative of the actual sound elite and h5 produce tho. Elite is marketed as having lossless audio, does that make a difference?

[@199jensen]

The plastic that lies on head is a big downside from PlayStation headsets. The issue is, it keeps falling off on top of my hair. Because of my black silky hair gets too slippery to any plastic. So after trying Inzone headsets. I can say im not disappointed after spending lots of my money on it.

[@mystikbeatbox]

Just got the H5 and the volume wheel does not change the volume at all while using the wire. Anyone would know why?

[@inkkid3951]

When it comes with the pulse elites it sounds hella good but man it gets disconnected like every other day smh the inzone where sooo good the bass is so much better while the pulse lacks hella the mic is better with the pulse but it just keeps getting disconnected which is a huge let down im surprised no creator have never mentioned this

[@samerhussain8073]

When i plug my inzone H5 using the bluetooth the first couple of minutes it works perfectly like i can mute and unmute by simply putting the mic up or down and increasing the game or party audio button but after a couple of minutes it doesn't work like when i put the mic up or down the mic stays on mute and when i press the game or party audio it doesn't change So can anyone tell me why?

Awesome review, thanks! I plan to wear a headset only with driving (PS5) games, which one do you think it's a better fit then?

[@eku820]

i would suggest you InZone H5 cuz of its more cozy for long game sessions

[@EvilMorty22]

Hi, which ones would you say is better for hearing footsteps for modern warfare (DMZ) played on PS5?

[@dunstondiaz]

Do they both have USB C for charging?

[@WhatGear]

Yes

[@aidanscales7175]

Love the vid really informative but I think I’ll probably get the h5s for the soul reason that they look less odd😂

[@andyk4676]

@@aidanscales7175 valid haha

[@jaycho7539]

I prefer in ones because I had this error which kept me from connecting my pulse elite to my ps5. I had an error where ps5 said that the pulse elite headset doesn’t support ps5. I had to change twice. So I prefer inzone

[@midnite-89]

H5 can use with xbox series x too?

[@joshwright6430]

Yeah man works great you just have to use the wired connection 🤙 wen using on a xbox controller

[@midnite-89]

@joshwright6430 cheers brother 👊

[@luckyh12]

Hey man Thanks for the video but I would like to get your input which I didn't get from the video. Which one do you prefer between the two if you had to choose. Thanks

[@WhatGear]

For me personally, I play 95% of my games on PS5...so the Pulse Elites suit my play style better. I also prefer the lower bass levels and more detail in the mids and hi's when playing online. But if I were a PC gamer... it'd be the H5's hands down. The the EQ and custom 360 reality mapping feature is pretty awesome.

[@luckyh12]

@@WhatGear thanks man! Can you share your eq settings?

[@JaysProAF]

Elites sound worse than the original pulse 3D

[@riddick5019]

Yes Pulse Elite suits better for PS5 without game to chat mix option….IQ50 🤡

[@sinatra617]

Wait! The elite dont have game to chat? Im assuming that is where ypu can make the volume higher in chat over in game audio? If they domt have that and the H5 domt have that i will stick with the 1st gen then. ​@@riddick5019

[@paf4402]

In my opinion, Elite noise cancellation was much better and if you are buying a headset to use ps5, it is better to choose Elite because it has better compatibility and 100% Elite microphone is much better because it is hidden. elite will be in 2024.

[@Juniscrazy]

I bought the elite and I heard too much of the surrounding noise to be honest, haven’t tried the h5 but I may just be used to noise canceling headphones I use for music

[@victorgonzalez2927]

I found the Pulse had a better mic too

[@sinatra617]

Ok so I have the 1st ps5 elite headset and it's not bad. I really like the H5 look much better then the new elites. My question is do the h5's have the adjustability the have the volume lean more to party volume then game volume and vice versa? That will be the deciding factor for me. If the H5 do have the party/in game volume adjustment I don't know which ones to get. I am about to pre order the 5 pro. I hate decisions like this. I need some help guys. I'm strictly console, I would like more base so I'm leaning towards the H5 is that the right move? I guess it will come down to whether or not the H5's allow you to make the volume louder in a party over the in game volume. Please lmk???

[@bamban_garcia5562]

Just look up the manual for it to see

[@jessecumba]

From what I was able to hear the pulse sounded better on both mic and sound tests. Decisions decision 🤔

[@lukastemberger]

Why do you think that? There's no bass on the Elites... And the high frequency is very irritating and grating. I had high hopes because they're the only option (?!) for the Portal, but I'll have to return them.

[@Sebastrips7]

I was between Corsair Logitech Razer sennheiser, etc, I was reading on amz that the H5-9 sounded better than much of the headphone market, but with that sound test that you put at the end you made me decide for the H5, despite the KZbin codecs, there is a clear difference to the Pulse, even in sound quality, sound much better the H5-9, thank you very much for this review, greetings from Colombia.

[@EinsteinPisces]

Pulse Elite sounded duller - Not much of an audiophile

[@JaysProAF]

First of all this is a great video comparing both headphones. Second I just bought the elites and was very disappointed with the sound quality compared to the 3D pulse and the platinums. Just bad sound quality overall with the sounds being way too sharp and loud that make the guns in COD sound so bad. Second the bass is HORRIBLE. When just at 0 bass at the EQ settings flying down from a battle royal game like blackout or war zone the bass sounds like it’s blown out makes a very loud unusual noise. Also no game and chat audio balance buttons on the headphones or an option on the ps5 unless you’re in a party chat. The best part about them is muting the mic from the controller and being able to connect via Bluetooth plus the design and wireless charging. Other than that where it matters most they’re a disappointment for COD players and people who value controlling the game/chat audio.

[@jessecumba]

You can't control the chat/game audio from the headset like the way you can on the 3ds?

[@audiostereo2928]

Pukse elite very dramat😢
