Not up in UK yet, unfortunately. Hmmm.

Yeah I've been checking too. No idea when they're supposed to be available.

 

[Elios83]

Just preordered the earbuds from Playstation Direct!
My first order ever there
They say they should arrive on launch day, we'll see if they are that efficient

 

[GymWolf]

I don’t get why their official headsets require dongles.

So i can use it on pc aswell.

 

[IlGialloMondadori]

I think its supposed to be 10 actually. Lets see.

 

[Ar¢tos]

Can't even login to psn via Web now, account, direct, store, all in permaloading after trying to login.

It's up in Portugal, but can't login.
Pre-order now for release 21 of February 2024 for the Pulse Elite, 6 December 2023 for the Explore.
Screw that.

 

[IlGialloMondadori]

Up in UK.
I ordered some Pulse Explores. I hope they're good, and the 3D audio is good. I'm guessing they're on-par or better than XM5s, which sounds good to me.
Probably don't need these, maybe just the PS Link for my AirPod Pro2s...i didn't know the Link was a thing. I'll hold the preorder for now though.

 

[TrebleShot]

Up in the UK,
Ordered one of each and a link dongle for PC.

Ahhhh is the link for connecting the pulse's to PC/other devices, NOT for connecting other devices to PS5?

Personally I am a very large framed man at 6'8" with a massive melon and most headphones wont fit and those that do are not very comfy after awhile so a large majority of my gaming is done with earbuds and I still like higher quality sound even with the limitations of buds

Yeah, big melon here too. Most headsets are extremely uncomfortable and put pressure on the top of my head so it can reach my entire ear. Since I game 99% of the time at my PC setup, I have a mix-amp and I use ear buds a lot of the time, but I do have a pair of Audio-Technicas which fit really well (can't remember which ones they are) but I got them as a gift and they were expensive, so the majority of big melons won't splash a lot just for headphones and will probably go for ear buds.

the earbuds already come with a dongle

 

[Ar¢tos]

Since I can't wait until February to get a headset, does anyone has any experience with the Steelseries Arctis Nova 7?
Basically the same price as the Pulse Elite, the most important to me is a good mic, I don't need ultra quality uncompressed sound.

Dongle plugs into the PS5 that comes with the Explore, additional dongle for PC for seamless switching.

Can I use the dongle that comes with it for PC? Or do I need that dongle to be able to connect to Ps5

First hands on impressions:

First hands on impressions:

Awesome praise for the sound. Sadly, missing key features for non-gaming use.

I think I’ll wait for the $150 headsets that launch next year, given this revelation.

 

[FrankWza]

First hands on impressions:

Everything positive so far. Wish I was getting mine in time for Portal

Fellow, big melon head here. The Inzone H7 have done the trick until now - but I'll probably still get the pulse explore for the VR2.

 

[Solidus_T]

So these use the tech from Audeze. I would like to try them out, but I already have a pair of XM4s that have filled that slot in my budget. Perhaps in the future I may get them.

 

[Elios83]

First hands on impressions:

Excellent, this is precisely what I wanted, wireless earbuds to enjoy 3D audio at its best.

Only if used as BT. The usb link sold separately can potentially be used to connect with other devices since it works on PC. Might be possible to use a otg adapter and get Link features. We'll see

DOA

Damn scalpers

Nobody wants these

Super limited quantity produced

Does that cover all the bullet points before the concerned get here?

 

[skit_data]

Glad I got a preorder secured, it launches almost a month later in my territory so I hope some get allocated towards it

You would think, but they're a clever bunch.

Early reviews are great. I wish someone would mention compatible foams. I might just order a variety before they get here

Fun fact. Sony did Wireless earbud long before Apple.

Home review

Another five stars for Sony, but this time for a pair of proper wireless in-ears...

Didn't the first Apple AirPods release in December 2016? I thought the WF-1000X released in fall 2017.
