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

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

Best headphones for directional audio on PS5?

I got the Sony Pulse Elite recently and it's been great. I wanted something with a mic and have been impressed by the sound quality too. Re directional audio I can definitely tell what direction footsteps are coming from when playing Battlefield 6.

Gaming headset for this game (PS5)

Hmm, not sure I would label the game audio as NOT GOOD. Using a Sony Pulse Elite for BF6, I can easily identify the direction the enemy is coming from, thanks to the 3D audio, which is presumably coded into BF6 and highlighted by the headset. Helos and aircraft passing overhead also sound pretty goo

Any reviews done yet on the pro version of requiem?

i've been hunting for pro footage too - digital foundry usually drops their vids a day or two after embargo for games like this. from what i've seen on resetera, the pro version runs buttery with pssr implementation similar to their other re engine games. if you're into the atmosphere of these games

Best headphones

for battlefield 6 you’ll want something with great spatial audio to pinpoint footsteps and gunfire. the jump from a $50 set to a higher end one is massive. the sony pulse elite is a solid first-party option with good integration. if you want something more premium, the steelseries arctis nova pro is
