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

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

Question about the Maxwell 2 in comparison to other gaming headsets

That’s good to hear, after customizing the eq on the Sony pulse elites and having audio focus, to focus in on quiet sounds. They sound great as far as clarity, but I think could be better on bass and knowing the direction something is coming from even if it’s not on screen. That’s exactly what I wan

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

The sound design is absolutely amazing

Just bought the Stealseries Arctis Nova Pro wireless last week. Blown away, literally (so much base) by how Saros sounds on them. This is after buying the Sony Pulse Elite the week before, to then send back and refund. Sounded great on those (if anyone cares) but I could hear my own body movements a

Maxwell 2 vs Maxwell 1; A/B testing impressions

The only other closed back, planar magnetic, wireless headphone is the Sony Pulse Elite. They're also made by Audeze (which is now a division of Sony, since 2023) but reviews all say they're inferior in sound and build quality to the Maxwells.

Almost 2 months since I got my portal, time for a review!

Pulse Elites and Pulse Explores are good options for headphones/earbuds. Also, if you buy an AirFly2 Bluetooth transmitter you can plug the transmitter into your aux port and then pair your wireless headset to it and play. Its great if you have a higher end set of headphones you wanna use. My Sony X

Does anyone use the Pro with the Playstation Pulse Explore earbuds?

I understand that, I've actually been testing it out with a lot of my older mid high end IEMS and headphones and its been fun and interesting to hear the differences. Whilst i understand the 3D audio is fancy equalization playing with phases and delays, Sony did it's own version really well and it's
