It’s a little weird that this difference exists, so much so that such a distinction is necessary, but here we are.
#PULSE 3D HEADSET PLUS#
Though when things get too hectic, the vocals tend to overpower everything else, spoiling this plus point.Īnother plus point is bass.
It’s also an added bonus that this bleeds through to the regular music listening experience. In-game, you can tell precisely where each sound is coming from, and to a lesser extent the distance as well. This is especially true for games where that is important, like when you’re actively listening for the footsteps of approaching enemies in Call of Duty Warzone. Again, this strong point may have something to do with the fact that the Sony Pulse 3D was made for the PS5, but it does this very well. The next best thing about the headset, though, is the sound staging.
Vocals are quite clearly the strong point of this headset, be it when using voice chat, listening to in-game dialogue, or when you’re just listening to tracks where vocals are the main focus.
The insides of the ear cups are also angled to act as another indicator as to which is the left or right cup.īeing a pair of headphones designed and built specifically for video games, the Sony Pulse 3D has a certain character to it when you use it for regular music listening. The same goes for the game and voice volume you’ll have to make the adjustments on your voice chat software, like the aforementioned Discord. You can use the dongle with a PC, but the volume button does nothing and you have to adjust the volume manually on your PC. Specifically, the two rockers will only work when connected this way. One glaring flaw is that only half of these work when you are using the Pulse 3D with a PlayStation console with the 2.4GHz wireless dongle. These are all really great features to have but as with all things in life, there are a few major caveats that accompany the headset. That last one lets you adjust the volume balance between the game sounds and your voice chat. Going in order, there’s the power switch, the 3.5mm audio jack, the USB-C charging port, the mute button, the volume rocker, the mic monitoring’s mute switch, and finally the game and audio volume rocker. And for the most part, there’s so much going on here that you’d think you had all your Discord shortcuts on the Pulse 3D headset. I mentioned the feature-rich controls on the left cup. So as you can tell, it’s quite a mixed bag in this regard. But on the head of my colleague, he felt the pinch almost immediately and found that the cups were pushing his ear into his head. On my head, it felt fine, and it would be after long gaming hours before I felt it pinching my skull in. Is your head the perfect size? I jest, but in all seriousness, your experience with the Sony Pulse 3D will really depend on the size of your head and ears. On the top side of both cans are what appear to be ports, making it a semi-open pair of cans. All of its controls, as well as the integrated mic, are on the left cup. No real surprise, since on the outside, the only material you see is plastic, plus some rubber and faux leather. Believe me, it was what I wanted until I tried it out, but more on the wireless connectivity in a bit.Ĭompared to other conventional headsets, These ones leans towards the side of being quite light.
#PULSE 3D HEADSET BLUETOOTH#
And in case you’re wondering: No, there is no Bluetooth connectivity to your phone, if that is what you are hoping for that. But things can be challenging since the wireless portion works using a 2.4GHz dongle. Of course, it can still be used with any other device that supports it. What Is It?Īs mentioned, the Sony Pulse 3D is a wireless headset that’s made specifically with the PS5 in mind. Now, the company has the Pulse 3D headset for the PS5.īack in October, the company announced the Midnight Black colourway of the headset, and this is the subject of our review. Sony Interactive Entertainment previously had the original Pulse wireless headset. But that hasn’t stopped console makers from making headsets designed specifically to be used with them. Gaming consoles usually make use of any pair of headsets you have at your disposal, for times when you want to keep all your in-game sounds to yourself.
