Review on Optimized for Search: PlayStation PULSE 3D Wireless Headset in Midnight Black by Tori Williams

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great all round headset for PS5

This headset is awesome! For reference, I had the original PS4 wireless headset and the Turtle Beach XP400. The sound is clear, crisp and has decent bass. The 3D sound is as good as Dolby 5.1/7.1 surround sound headsets. The latter is slightly better in effect. The hidden dual microphone is what led me to this headset. I was skeptical that they would record my voice because I speak softly and have a deep voice. My buddy reports that this is the best mic he's ever heard from me and he always hears me clearly. Connecting couldn't be easier. Connect the USB dongle to PS5 and turn on the headset and it will be paired automatically. Every time I turn on the headset it works without any issues. I've had frustrating times trying to pair my Turtle Beach with a PS4. So easy and intuitive was appreciated. All controls are located on the left ear cup. It's a bit confusing at first to find the chat volume versus the main volume, but after a few days I learned the layout and can easily change the volume. Battery life is advertised as 8-10 hours of gameplay and chat. Fast charging in less than 3 hours. USB-C charging, if it was anything else it would be a bug. So thank you Sony. The design can polarize, I didn't like it at first, but I've grown to love it. Mainly made of plastic, which makes it lightweight and convenient. The headband fits my relatively large head. The ear cups are not adjustable but they work perfectly for me and my ears, your mileage may vary. I don't normally write reviews but based on the negative reviews I saw I felt compelled. I'd be surprised if people with audio loss or other issues even hooked it up to a PS5. You probably pre-purchased the headset before buying the console. And this headset is designed to be used with PS5 and in my experience playing PS5 games like Valhalla, COD and even PS4 games like GTA Online on my PS5 has been nothing short of exceptional.
