Which One Of These Headsets Would You Recommend?

I like the Pulse Elite a lot. Had mine since October or November and love how light they are, the sound quality and of course being a Sony product ease of use. People complain the flemsy but to me so far so good. It took a while to get use to the button layout but it’s good with bluetooth playing a

Wait for QC to improve before buying?

Honestly the best headphones I’ve ever ever owned, the sound quality is incredible. I have some hiss on mine, but it’s not loud enough to bother me when something is playing through them. The bass isn’t rumbling like a an old pair of beats do. But when it hits it is very clean, with no distortion to

Sony Pulse Explore is it successful?

My Sony Pulse Explore earbuds successfully deliver audio from my PS Portal, but I prefer Sony Pulse Elite headphones when I'm playing on PS5. The headphones are more comfortable, easier to charge, and have a better battery.

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.

Which One Of These Headsets Would You Recommend?

Sony Inzone ( H7 or H9) are the best headphones that I ever had. Best battery life, best comfort, Bluetooth that works with 2 devices at once, 10 minutes charge for 1 hour of usage, sound is great for gaming on consoles/PC ( adapter works with both platforms). I’m coming from the Pulse Elite and Hyp

Thinking of buying this for my Playstation 5 gaming. Don't own pc. Just occasional player. Is it good? Also should I go wirless or wired.

I went wireless for a few reasons, but the biggest difference is no echo. With wired headphones the PS5 mostly picks up whatever sound you're hearing if your mic is on. You can mitigate this by lowering your mic sensitivity or/and sound, but still. I got the Cloud 3S model and while they aren't perf

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
