What does "improved soundscapes" mean on the Pro?

The site posted is not an Official Sony website. Have you seen this noted anywhere by Sony? As far as the Tempest 3D Audio or any features that have been marketed this generation I would take them with a grain of salt. IMO experience these claims are dubious and difficult to replicate even if one st

Any help with hearing the new Hurricane raider caches?

Hey OP, this might be a dumb question, but what platform do you play on? You were talking about messing with EQ settings but some headsets and both consoles and PC have different EQ options and what not. I'm 30 and have tinnitus in my right ear, it's not constant and fluctuates but some sounds in ga

Maxwell 2’s vs Pulse Elite

I was looking to get the Pulse Elite (it was a reasonable price, about £80 brand new after discount), and iirc, the gadgetrytech guy clearly mentioned that Maxuell has “Way better sound”. For the money, the Pulse Elite are very good at in-game positioning, but I don't remember anything about their a

Which One Of These Headsets Would You Recommend?

I have ps4 platinum headset, pulse elite and some others, you can buy better ear covers (fabric) for cheap and they become instantly much more comfortable. But nothing compares to steelseries gamebuds, for me they sound much better than sony pulse and you can play for hours and not even notice them.

Headset para PS5

Só para acrescentar eu tenho um Pulse Elite que ganhei e a qualidade do som é boa, mas deixa muito a desejar comparado a outros. O plástico é extremamente frágil e não só parece que vai quebrar quando você coloca na cabeça como o meu quebrou a haste externa só com o peso do driver puxando para baixo

Can I control Apple Music on PS5 using my iPhone?

Unfortunately no. I needed a new headset so I purchased the Sony Pulse Elite for my PS5. You can connect to your phone via Bluetooth and still connect to your PS5 simultaneously. $150 work around but well worth it.

Portal now support 3D audio

I honestly think it's major false advertising. I have the portal and recently got the Pulse Elite headphones and to my surprise no, there is no 3D audio options built into the portal for the PS link, nor any 3D audio enabled for remote play. The ONLY way to get any 3D audio I've found is using a usb

Which headset gives the most natural 3D audio for PS5?

I have used these headsets for my PS5. Fanmusic TRUTHEAR x Crinacle Zero:RED they are wired earbuds. They were $52 when I purchased them. I got them mainly for my portal. They sound good and they are easily portable the 3d effect with them is kind of meh. Sony pulse 3D wireless headset. The 3D is mu

Audeze maxwell - huge disappointment

Yes it's the best headset at this price point for movies, music, and story games on your PS5. But the Maxwell 1 suffers from noisy sidetone. So for chatting it's below average. Average if you can talk without hearing yourself. If you need a good mic, and good enough sound quality, then consider the

Pluse Elite worth it in 2026?

I've had mine for a year or more, I think. I bought them at release, though I don’t even remember when that was. I'm a huge headphone and headset enthusiast, so I own many others as well. Compared to the Pulse 3D, this one is better in several ways: the battery lasts much longer, it's slightly more
