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

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

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

Thinking about upgrading to the Nova pro wireless- got some questions

Was in market for headset too. Had the new Pulse elite midnight color and despite connectivity issues by customers I still bought it. Part of me thought this version would have been updated versus the og black/white color. Had a day off and a 5 hr sesh and it disconnected 💔. You’ll have to disconnec
