Incredible headset
Color: White
Hardware Connectivity: USB
Some people have issues with this headset, but I don’t have these experiences. Great audio, fantastic 3-D sound, really comfortable , great battery life, and even though some reviews say the mic quality isn’t good. The feedback I have from my friends is that they hear me crystal clear so no issues with the mic either. I was having random disconnect issues from time to time, but that’s because specifically on the PS5 slim the only USB connections for the dongle are in the rear right in front of the fan so it gets really hot. A simple fix is just to buy an adapter so that you can plug it into the USBC connections in the front of the PS5 slim. Great product for the money.

Perfect General Purpose Headphones - PC usage
Color: White
Hardware Connectivity: USB
I bought these for PC gaming after learning these contain planar magnetic drivers for under $200. I have been very impressed. After a month of ownership, these have become my go-to wireless headphones, in addition to being a PC headset. Pros: Lightweight and comfortable. These weigh less than the wired headphones I replaced (Logitech ProX). The headband and cups are unusual, but they give a great fit without needing adjustment. I can easily wear them for hours. Connectivity. These headphones have so many options to connect, wireless and wired! The USB dongle allows lossless wireless audio; it should be your primary connection. The USB dongle itself has great compatibility; it has been plug and play without issue on every device I tested it with. With a USB A to C adapter, I can even use the USB dongle to get wireless lossless audio from my iPhone 15! If your device doesn’t have a USB port, you can connect with bluetooth. Bluetooth will be lower quality than the proprietary lossless wireless used with the USB dongle. A unique feature is to have both connections running simultaneously. I personally have not found this useful, but I can see the use case for console gaming where you want phone audio by bluetooth for music or videos while also receiving game audio from the console over USB. The last option is a wired connection by 3.5 mm audio (aux cord). I love this option for compatibility with in-flight entertainment on airplanes, and a few old devices that don’t support bluetooth audio. This is not a passive wired connection, you will need battery power to listen to wired inputs, and adjust the volume on the headset itself. You cannot utilize any other connection simultaneously with the wired connection. If you use a 4 pole 3.5mm cord, you will utilize the microphone in wired connections too. 3.5mm cord (aux cord) is not included. Audio. Audio is crisp and snappy. You hear everything. No really! Everything! Planar magnetic drivers have a faster response than traditional dynamic drivers; giving more distinct sounds. Lossless wireless audio is a big deal. I love listening to music with these just as much as playing games. Battery life. Not an issue. They claim 30 hours. I never had these die on me, but I am pretty good about charging items not in use. Cons: Microphone. The microphone is acceptable, not good. It does have always-running (software) noise filter; In my opinion this does assist with clarity. People will understand what you are saying; you just don’t sound good while being clearly heard. This is the sacrifice for high quality wireless audio, the bandwidth for the mic. For games it is fine, but I wouldn’t use this headset for conferences. Build. The design is actually quite functional, and style is subjective. I am happy with what was delivered, but there are alot of soft touch plastics in this headset. We shall see how long it lasts. I can see it scratching easily over time. Audio. Audio is shallow. I really like how these sound. You hear everything. These do not sound booming or deep. You will hear the base, it wont sound bad or tinny, but it wont boom. You may be disappointed if you expect deep and booming sound. Mixer and equalizer. Without a PS5, you have no control over the mixer/equalizer. Out of the box these are balanced flat. If you want to adjust your sound profile, you need to do so on a PS5. Once adjusted, the sound profile is stored on the headset. If fine tuning your sound profile matters to you, you need a PS5 or a friend with a PS5 to tune your headset. Documentation. The manuals included in the box are limited. There are plenty of features just not listed in the manuals. It doesn’t even tell you how to turn off the headset! You need to check Sony’s FAQ for this headset online to learn all of its features. System behavior. Two aspects of system behavior annoy me. First, the blue LED that indicates the headset is powered on, is too bright for its prominent placement in front. Second, this headset automatically powers off after a period of no audio input. This period is a little short for me, but the worse aspect is that it does not play a tone when automatically powering off. It can be annoying when you hit play on your music, only to realize the headset is off and needs to be powered on. Please add a tone on automatic power off. Conclusion: This is the best all around headset to buy, even if you use PC and not PS5. You get lightweight, comfortable, great sounding, and wireless headset with tons of features and the unique sound from planar magnetic drivers, for under $200. The mic, while not good, is clear/comprehensible. No software controls for PC may be a deal breaker for some people.

Just save your money and buy something else
Color: White
Hardware Connectivity: USB
Before buying this, I tried several cheaper $20–$30 adapters to pair the headset with my iPhone, but none of them worked very well. I thought spending more money on the official/more expensive option would finally solve the problem. It worked fine in the beginning, but eventually I started experiencing connectivity issues between the adapter and the headset. After not using it for a while, I tried again. I updated all the necessary software and firmware, watched multiple YouTube videos, followed the pairing instructions step by step, and tried reconnecting everything over and over again. Nothing worked. Both the adapter and the headset blink like they are trying to pair, but they simply WILL NOT CONNECT. And apparently I’m far from the only one. Search online and you’ll find countless people reporting the same or very similar connection problems. For a company like Sony, this is ridiculous. Connectivity is one of the most basic and important functions of a wireless headset. If you can’t get that right, what’s the point of making the product? Sony should seriously fix this problem—or go make something else. I really regret spending good money on a nice-looking product that simply doesn’t work when I need it. Save yourself the frustration and buy something else.

Great headphones but don't throw away the mount!
Color: White
Hardware Connectivity: USB
Thee headphones sound great! I had the original Pulse 3D headphones since they came out and the battery life was getting to be pretty bad so I decided to update! I love everything about these new headphones but I couldn't understand the charging mount, it seemed so wobbly. Well it turns out I almost threw away the plastic clip that secures the wall mounted charger. If you don't use that, it will not stay firmly attached to the wall.

Worst Sony Branded PS5 Headset.DON'T BUY !!
Color: White
Hardware Connectivity: USB
BUYERS BEWARE !!! I have purchased these wireless Sony branded headset brand new as a upgrade to the Pulse 3D wireless Headset and it was the worst mistake I made.Dont waste your money on these.why you might ask ? 2 BIG reasons.they have a tendency to randomly disconnect itself and secondly,the outer band will start to bend and eventually break in half.its serious design flaw by sony.And they never bothered to address these issues.but dont take my word for it.just go on ebay and you will see hundreds of pulse elite headsets with broken bands.so if your a serious gamer like me and want something thats durable ,high quality and will last,I highly recommend the Sony Inzone H9 wireless headset,it has noise-canceling and spatial 3D sound natively built in.

Comfortable with good sound
Color: White
Hardware Connectivity: USB
So far I have only used these for games on PS5 playing late night so as not to disturb the family. I should be able to give a fuller review once I have been able to use them for music around the house connected to my phone. They do look a little funky and I don't plan on wearing them outside the house, but that is forgivable since they connected quickly and easily to the PS5 with the USB dongle supplied. As a glasses wearer, the light on the right side is noticable at first but you soon learn to ignore it (mostly). It is far from a make or break moment when using these headphones. On the topic of glasses, these phones sit over the ears but are not awkward for me as far as my glasses are concerned since there is very little sideways pressure. Most of the weight is taken by the headband which makes for long term comfort. The overear design and squishy cups offer a little noise attenuation, especially in the higher frequencies, but these are far from noise canceling, but again, not a deal breaker. Another reviewer mention the packaging which is good, except for the one piece needed to attach the charging hook. Don't throw anything away until you locate that one piece which screws to the surface to mount the hook onto. No comments in the retractable microphone yet since I have not used it. I have limited experience with gaming headsets, but I have used some nice headphones in my years. These are never going to replace my Sony VR6 studio monitor phones but neither were they were made to. They are not as flat as the VR6 since they have a little sizzle at the top end, and the bottom end falls off sooner, but they are pretty even across the mids and super clear thanks to the planar mag drivers. At the current price you may not want to run out right now and buy these, but put them in a wish list for next time you are shopping for gaming headphones

Great Headset
Color: White
Hardware Connectivity: USB
Despite all the reviews about disconnects, I didn’t experience that in the hour or two I messed around with them. I had one audio stutter but updated the firmware and haven’t run into that again. Audio is MUCH better when connected to the USB dongle directly to the PS5 and gives control over 3D audio and an equalizer. Levels are much lower when connected with the Portal and I had to crank the volume from the default to get it on the same level as what it sounded like at 50% on the PS5. Really wish there was a way to have the equalizer controls on the Portal. The ability to sync up to my phone over Bluetooth simultaneously is really neat but will go largely unused by me. I didn’t test the mic because I don’t do online gaming, but I REALLY appreciate that it tucks out of the way when not in use. Online review videos show it having some pretty stellar ambient sound cancellation, so you don’t have to worry about crunching snacks in your ears during party play. Setup was mildly convoluted but works seamlessly once setup. Apparently, you can link one headset up to a max of 8 USB Link Adapters and toggle between them so I might look into getting one for my PC. Switching between PS5 and the Portal connection was relatively painless. Very comfortable and lightweight. Fits great on my big noggin. Great noise cancellation from the outside world. However, that also causes me to notice a weird, amplified noise from the strap auto adjusting and rubbing against the frame if I move around while pressed against a pillow or recliner. My favorite feature? Absolutely has to be the charger. The hanger doubling as the charger is pure convenient genius design. Mounts on the wall with one screw (not included).

Coming apart and constantly disconnects
Color: White
Hardware Connectivity: USB
I am looking for different headsets. Though I have the PS5, I don’t game much, it’s more for watching movies and shows. The sound is decent, and it does have good battery life and it charges quickly. Also, I can use it while charging. There are issues with it constantly disconnecting while using it. It had a firmware update so it doesn’t happen as often. But when I first got it, the headset constantly disconnected. Now it has static noises. Also, the build is poor. I personally superglue the ear muffs from coming apart. Also, the parts on the side has come apart. That is not recommended, just return or don’t buy. It is a poor product for Sony and the price. Please do not buy, I got it because it was made for PlayStation but it is not good and not worth it. It is warning DO NOT BUY!
