Sony\u2019s first-party PlayStation<\/span> gaming headsets can be hit<\/a> or miss<\/a>. Good news! The latest version, the Pulse Elite wireless headset<\/a>, is more of the former. It costs $150, can pair with multiple devices at once, and even comes with a wireless charging hanger.<\/p>\n

This headset’s predecessor was a miss<\/a>, touting 3D audio and impressive sound, but it was made from harsh, flimsy plastic, didn’t support a Bluetooth connection, and worst of all, it wasn’t even necessary to get all the benefits of 3D audio. Sony’s Tempest 3D audio system<\/a> works with plenty of other headphones.<\/p>\n

The Pulse Elite remedies many of those issues. It supports Bluetooth audio\u2014which you can use simultaneously alongside the PlayStation Link adapter connection. The earcups are more comfortable, and the plastic is less flimsy; it just feels better all around. If that was all the Pulse Elite improved, it would be worth the extra $50 over the older model, but it’s the wireless charging hanger that cinches it for us.<\/p>\n

Striking Design<\/h2>\n

The design aesthetic of the PS5 struck a chord<\/a> when it first dropped, and since then all of the company\u2019s accessories have followed suit. For better or worse. These headphones are probably closer to the \u201cbetter\u201d side than, say, the PS5 camera taco<\/a>. The white headband extends down around the earcups, with a swoosh toward the front. The built-in mic slides out of one of the pointed white tips. It\u2019s a striking design without looking outright silly.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a soft, fabric strap inside the headband that keeps the headphones supported without weighing on the top of your head too much. The soft, plush earcups wrap around your ears, helping to isolate them without pressing too hard on the sides of your head. You can adjust each earcup up and down to find the perfect fit.<\/p>\n
