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

Best headphones for sound, not needing a mic.

OP wants good sound quality... audio quality via the controller plug sounds really, really bad as the audio is compressed and the controller doesn't have enough power for good headsets. OP, budget friendly way is getting a decent wireless headphone (with their own integrated amp) that you connect to

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 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.

PS5 won’t detect my PULSE Elite headset even though it’s paired

Same here. Picked up my Pulse Elites for the first time in a month or so, they connected then disconnected, then my PS5 Pro no longer recognized them or the dongle. The headset is paired to the usb dongle, but the PS5 does not see it. Works perfectly fine with my macbook. Something is jacked up with

This depends on the headsets/ headphones. Also the Beyers I recommended are e

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.

Which Sony headset for the PS5 Pro (incl. VR2)

If you choose Pulse 3D or Pulse Elite, I’d go for Elite as the battery last longer for 30 hours vs 15 hours, Elite has Bluetooth so you can connect them to both PS5 and PC/phone simultaneously and they have better sound and mic quality and comes with a charging hanger. You also have other third-part
