Sony / PlayStation - PULSE Elite Wireless Headset

This! I appreciate how I can control the headset volume and mute with the Dualsense Edge. You can't go wrong for the price imo. Sound stage and battery life are fantastic.

I have the Pulse Elite and Arctis Nova Pros, almost exclusively use the Pulse Elites. Great sound stage, volume, battery life is solid, comfy and I like how the mute pairs with the controller. Of the few hundred hours it's been used, I've had it disconnect maybe 3 or 4 times for a second and it auto-reconnects. And Sidetone could be a tad louder. Otherwise, I love it and it's great for the price IMO.

So you're telling me I've been turning my pulse headset off and using the earbuds when going in vr for no reason☹️

I have to recommend the Pulse Elite. I have Mine for about a year and the Sound and mic quality is both good. I Had a steel series AMD the Sound quality was Not good in my opinion. I had to return it the same day..

Seconded, I'm coming here for a replacement because the right side of my pulse elite cracked in half. I was not particularly rough on them and in 20 years of using headsets I've never experienced that kind of failure. Rough for a $150 headset.

I know a lot of people are trashing the Pulse headset, but just adding a positive note to them, that I’ve had mine since release and they still work fine and are not broken. With that said, they are not the most comfortable for me, and hurt my ears after a few hours. If money isn’t an issue for you, I’ve only heard good things about Arctis 7p+, so that’s probably the better option. In fact, I’d probably get myself some in the future Edit: sorry, I didn’t realize those were the pulse Elites. I only have the regular Pulse headset. Either way, out of the three you have, it sounds like (pun intended) that the 7p+ would be your best bet, based on the other comments in here, plus they do happen to be the cheapest of the three.

Better than Pulse Elite especially for the audio quality and PS5 gaming integration? Structurally it is a better headset because Pulse Elite cracks and breaks easily.

No issues with mine either

Bought the Pulse Elite when they were first released and have used these daily for both work and gaming since. Never dropped and always handled with care. While I loved this headset I’m not buying another that’ll break in 2 years with regular use. Looking for reviews on the Steel Series Arctis Nova 7P for a replacement if anyone owns them. The battery life on those looks perfect for me as I’m using these almost 10 hours a day.

Same. I had preordered these the day they opened for orders. Zero issues until they just gave out unfortunately. I always thought people were just too rough on these but even being careful they didn’t hold up for everyday use.

DO NOT BUY PULSE ELITE. I work retail and replace them all the time because they snap in half. I’ve used steel series for 6 years now
