Don't looks like elite to me, more like a redesign of the pulse 3D.
Maybe the tech behind the audio will be different?

That Pulse Elite might sound good on paper, but it looks strange. Kinda looks delicate as well...

I see they exist and that's cool, but why should I want these?
I have a friend who uses the the current Sony ps5 wireless headset and while it sounds nice most of the time, the proformance tanks when the battery is low. (lots of audio skip on the mic).
Wired headphones maybe not as convenient as Wireless, but at least they're performance is consistent.

Build quality of the regular Pulse 3d is terrible, just FYI. Won't buy another PS headset any time soon.

They never learn. When PS4 came out I bought the old Gold headset with the plastic hinges. Terrible decision.

I'm happy with using my Sony INZONE H9's for the PS5. I did have an earlier version of the Pulse headset, and it was decent.

At their price points, yes. That’s true for most Sony-branded headsets, they’re an excellent mid-range choice. But once you exceed the $250 price point and are squarely in the premium sector, you want features over everything else. It’s at that point you’re better off with other options.

I would probably go for the earbuds for better flexibility. Especially if I do VR.

No one mentioning these are both planar magnetic headsets?
Closest rival is the Audeze Maxwell or Penrose which cost £350
And what’s more the buds are too that’s a first in earbuds both of theses are HUGE upgrades.
The price is incredible too.

Being Planar Magnetic is awesome and a big jump in quality from Dynamics, but as long as they are locking this to only use on PS5 it's a no go for me. Make them work on Xbox and PC as well and I might consider.

For sound, they are fine but DO NOT buy them for the microphone! It sounds like garbled shit to other players. I had to go out and buy a pair of steel series.

Biggest problem with the pulse is the build quality
The earbuds break off and wither away too easily

The build quality is much better than the previous two Pulse models.
Have had mine for 3 years and no issues.

the only downside of this headset is that it would break the ear piece for no reasonThe GOAT pulse.

This is not my experience at All and I own the best headsets on the planet.
Just got to see some reviews and seems mostly everyone agrees with me, SONY headsets are the best on the planet.
Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Headphones review
Still the best in the business, but the gains for the WH-1000XM5 are more marginal than before
Apple is the only company i would say that might have better options.

My arctis 7p is stanky after a few hours of heavy use. Need some wet wipes and direct sunlight to get it approaching humane conditions again.

How do you find the H9's vs the Pulse?

Pulse Elite - 50% upcharge over Pulse 3D for a retractable mic and audio codecs.
Pulse Explore - $200 for a worse version of the Airpods Pro.
Portal - $200 for a dualsense backbone duct taped to a shitty tablet screen.
What the hell is going on over at Sony? They've completely lost it.

I swear to god that first PS5 headset has the worst form factor I have ever experienced and this new one doesn't look any better.
It's just a stiff slab of plastic. There's basically zero adjustment options, it's uncomfortable, it doesn't completely close off around the ears (because of the lack of adjustment) and the audio quality really isn't any better than any other solid headset. A complete waste of money.
Which is insane to me because the non-Playstation Sony brand wireless headphones are top of the line stuff. Great quality, fitting and audio.

They'll hire a few influencers to shitpost about being immeasurably thankful that Sony has graced them with these products and they'll proceed to sell gangbusters.
YOU NEED THIS YOU WANT THIS BUY BUY BUY
Who cares about technicalities like audio quality anyway.

I've just read this which may be of interest:
Pulse Elite and Pulse Explore can connect directly with PlayStation Portal by leveraging the new wireless audio technology, PlayStation Link. Link delivers low latency, lossless audio and easy switching between multiple hosts such as PS5 with the USB adapter and PlayStation Portal.
The PlayStation Link USB adapter will also be sold separately as a standalone item, and can be used on PC and Mac. Pulse Elite and Pulse Explore can simultaneously connect to a Link-supported device (PS5, PC, Mac, or PlayStation Portal) or a Bluetooth-supported device.
For instance, Pulse Explore can be connected to PS5 (via the USB adapter) using PlayStation Link and also to a mobile phone through Bluetooth at the same time. While playing on PS5, gamers can instantly answer a call on their mobile, and talk on their phones while hearing game audio.

Will my Pulse Elite include the USB to connect on PlayStation 5 and be able to connect to the handheld?

Sorry, I dont have a scooby doo at this time. Just sharing info I'd found following the announcement.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Start including a headset with the console, they want you to spend thousands of dollars on accessories.

I use my now old sony Wh1000XM4 although I do own the original pulse, for its price it wasent bad, although depending on the quality of the mic I might switch out my XM4's for it as the gaming headset. Although I might just save the cash and buy the inevitable XM6's when they release. The 3D sound (and any sound) is night and day on the XM4 compared to the classic pulse.

Ofc they want. They sell consoles at a loss, or breaking even. The money comes from games, online sevices and acessories. Be glad they allow you to use any kind of shitty headset, or headphones and dont require just lincenced stuff to work.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
Still have the PS4 golds, the leather is starting to peal and used them about twice.
That's the original problem with those headsets.
The Earbuds are a better option long term, I still got my Sony's from the early 2000's and they still shit on everything release these days for the price I paid

It's HILARIOUS that you can't actually use these with the Portal thing. Lololol. I have no idea what Sony is doing with hardware anymore.

I've never had this kind of problem. How do they break off exactly? Doing what?

Yeah a lot of people are unfamiliar with Planar magnetic drivers I have the Penrose (bad build quality) and it's the best sounding gaming headset I've heard but they're 100mm drivers we'll have to see what size these customized drivers are I'm hoping they're at least 60mm but either way they'll sound cleaner with a wider soundstage than dynamic drivers so I'm intrigued to see Sony's implementation.
