In this video I’m breaking down my love/hate relationship with the PlayStation Pulse Elite headset. I’ll be real: the sound is INSANE—Sony finally delivered that “clarity and precision” I’m always talking about. With these planar magnetic drivers, you’re hearing every footstep, every bullet casing drop, and even little background details like wind and movement around you. For PS5 3D audio, this is the closest I’ve felt to the Tempest engine actually coming to life. But there’s one problem that still holds them back: that widespread connectivity issue. It’s a real thing, and I don’t think Sony is going to software-fix it at this point. The good news is I found a workaround that’s been perfect for me (I link my full fix video), and once you handle that, these become a “must-have” headset in my book. I also compare them to my older Pulse 3D (more bass but muddier mids/treble now that mine are aging), talk battery life (basically never dies), the wireless charging hook setup, the retractable mic with noise suppression, and even a budget alternative with the Anker Soundcore VR P10 earbuds for hot days or lighter sessions.
