@TheTechne Bro I tried these all day yesterday testing them for various games and music and I’m disappointed It sounds amazing, that detailed planar magnetic sound is really amazing However, I don’t know if I’ve got a faulty one, but out of the box sound every time there’s strong bass I got that distorting crackling and even in COD MW3 every time I was shooting at an enemy and that strong sound you get when you kill an enemy it done the same thing. Even when reducing the bass it done the same thing and when you reduce bass even more it makes the sound rubbish anyway Is that what you got when listening to something with strong bass???
These don't have noise cancellation. Noise cancellation is what you hear/don't hear through the headphones. Noise rejection is what OTHERS hear through the mic. That is what was in the video and seemed absolutely mental how good it was.
Thank you so much for ACTUALLY testing the microphone it sounds great to me and the noise cancellation is insane you made me pre order this it looks awesome
I hope the quality of the ear cushion improved compared to the previous version. If not, that cheap leather starts to peel off after roughly 6months. Absolute trash and never again
I hope you don’t plan on connecting them with an IPhone bro I got mine yesterday and sadly they didn’t connect with my 13 Pro nor can you adjust chat/game Volume balance like you could with the pulse 3d but you can connect the new ear buds with an iPhone… go figure with that 🤦🏼♂️
I've had the Audeze Mobius since their release (held together by tape these days), and I was hoping to pick up the Maxwell, but at $150, these are a fantastic value! I love Audeze Planar Magnetic!!
Go for the Audeze Maxwell you won't be dissaponted. Pulse Elite lacks a lot of bass. It could sound as clear as it wants but if the bass isn't there you won't be immersed if FPS or fast pace action is your cup of tea. Maxwell have amazing bass. I play call of duty exclusively and have yet to touch a single setting from when I pulled it out of the box. The signature sound is incredible. Footstep precision, perfect bass, and an inane amount of detail to ambient sounds
@@joshs3905 you’re probably right and in the long run it’s probably a better buy, but price is a factor. I’ll give them a spin when they arrive tomorrow (the Pulse Elite’s), and if I need to return them I can always do that.
The movement of the ear pieces is normal and by design so they adjust to whatever head shape you might have. Some padding might have been nice, and as you recall they did ship with removable pads there. But I'm not sure with normal use it will be much of an issue. The note about the design being an issue if you're leaning back is a great observation that I didn't see mentioned in other reviews. I do lay on my pillow with my headset sometimes.
That mic was so much better than i expected it to be. I pre ordered one today. Are you able to monitor your voice in the headset while speaking, like you can with the normal pulse headset? Are there side tone settings?
Owned these but ended up buying the pulse explore for overall comfort, so I returned them. Came across a pair on mercari for $50 great condition and I couldn't resist.
Mate? Where is the Sony Inzone h7/9? Please add them too.. they are Sonys last Headset and need too Sony vs PlayStation first. Not the best vs the New PlayStation headphone Sry but all peopel want this first. Sony vs Sony PlayStation
After using my pulse elites for one week, I had to return them today. I was getting frequent disconnects. The only solution each time seemed to be unplugging the adapter, and restarting the console. If that wasn't bad enough, the voice to game chat balance was permanently greyed out so that I could not change it no matter what I tried. So disappointed with this headset. I went back to using my old 3d pulse for now. Back to deciding on stealth pro, nova pro or audeze maxwells.
These are the only over the ear headset I can wear. So comfortable and I like the position of the button controls. Only con is they disconnect from time to time, not often though, and the only fix is to restart my PS5 but again it’s not often or daily. I love this headset tbh.
The people who breaks their stuff in general just dont take care of them in general 🤷🏽♂️ Ive had these for years with daily use - Pulse 3D - TB Stealth 600 - Arctis 7p All of them still in very nice shape and condition. Why? Cuz i take care of them. Hours of use daily etc etc then after i put them nicely back where they supposed to be to be after use. Do i drop them? Ofcourse we are all humans. But often? No cuz im not clumsy The people who talk shit about the Pulse Elite this early in bet you dont even own it yet 😂 Yes i have them and theyre great . Incredible actually for the price
I copped these last week. I'm definitely satisfied with them. Now, what to do with first model because they're just gonna collect dust like a old cell phone. Lol
You did a great job but was really hoping you’d key in on the difference between the PS4 Gold, the Pulse 3D, and these to get a better sense. The PS4 Gold headset has a better fit at least for my head and ears. Also feel like the pulse 3D has a tighter fit too!!
I like the integrated features that work with the PS5. Can mute the microphone with the mute button on the controller instead of havong to use the one on the headset itself. Just simple quality of life features that i appreciate.
Great review, I just ordered these just for the simple fact you can listen to UA-cam and a game at the same time I thought that was pretty cool. I’ll be doing a review of these with a few other headphones I have at home and I’ll give the original Sony pulse I had for the PlayStation five away to one of my subscribers after the review. watching all of these great reviews gives me ideas on how to put together a better review myself.
The non removable ear pads are a bit annoying because I'd prefer to switch them out for some mesh ear pads and also would give the headset more shelf life
I don't doubt your view mate but I know two people who haven't influenced each other and they really didn't like them. Sound worse than the pulse and other issues. Hear your heartbeat because of the ear cuff and a few more issues. They returned them and both use the older pulse headset.
Pulse 3D vs Pulse Elite comparison from reviews I’ve watched: The Pulse Elite has: • Much better comfort. • Simultaneous Bluetooth (PS + Phone audio) • Over double the battery life • A better mic • Possibly has much better response and less latency due to PS Link • Planar Magnetic drivers (different from dynamic drivers used in almost all headsets) start at a minimum of £300. Pulse Elite has them at under £150. The sound quality is in another league. So what are you sacrificing from the Pulse 3D? - Sidetone control buttons - Game to chat mix buttons - Very ugly design on the Pulse Elite (imo) - The cups aren’t as rigid and are slightly flimsier on the Pulse Elite. This approach improved comfort for different head shapes but might have decreased build quality. Pulse 3D rrp is £90/ $100 Pulse Elite rrp is £130/ $150
Bought them today. thanks for the eq presets, gonna check em out on some helldiver's. Im definitely a bass guy but I've been enjoying the clarity but looking to even out the bass it distorts a lot during the initial dive intro music for on helldiver's but hoping your eqs help. Thanks again videos are great and I'm really liking these headsets I think Sony is embracing a nice mix of trying to change the game while delivering solid products.
@@alf3052 yea audio 1 is plenty loud for me. Although sometimes it makes some game sound weird like god of war ragnarok for example in that case I switched to bass boost and it sounded better and still plenty loud.
Thanks Techne great review, I'm definitely thinking about getting this headset, only thing I'd like to know is, if the Bluetooth or dongle works with Xbox Series X?, (it probably doesn't), but i have both XSX/PS5 and don't want to buy two headsets, one that does both is a winner for me.
They cost me $199 here in Canada $225 after taxes. I'm impressed by the audio quality. Much improved game audio over the Pulse. I'm experiencing sounds that I never heard before in my games. Once you find that height callibrated sweet spot the 3D audio is fantastic. They also have a long charge, 20+ hrs seems to be right.
I must say, I bought these to play dragon dogma 2 and OMG this shit is good!!! Best headphone I ever bought. More comfortable than music headphone I used. Like the MX2 (Sony brand) and the apple headphones, the one that never shut off. I also buy Tuttle bench and Astro. But this by far, the best bang for your buck!
Hey Techne! Love your videos for a long time and this one is no different. Sorry for the flac you were catching on Twitter recently, I felt bad since I know you are a reviewer with good intentions and didn’t think you deserved any of that. Keep up the good work and remember no matter how many people are vocally negative there are many more people out there loving and supporting ya! Stay cozy - a fan
For Gaming yes for music mwha for Gaming on ps5 it has great speed and great immersion but lots of treble maybe too much the build Quality could be better but for the price its the best you can get for ps5 other similar headsets are at least 250/300 so the pulse Elite is the best choice i have the nova pro7 and im thinking of going back to the elites cuz they are much cheaper and have much better acn
I went back to Steelseries Arctis Nova. The sound is not as good but the amount of issues I had with this headset, disconnecting, turning off suddenly for no reason, etc was driving me insane. Arctis not as crisp and clear but not that much worse either and I now have my sanity back.
Interesting review. As someone who plays pretty equally on all platforms my Steelseries Nova are hard to argue with… but I can’t help being tempted to pick these up purely for my PS5 sessions
I wondered if you experienced any odd sounds through this headset. Only way to describe it is as - small water droplets, faint popping, a little crackle. I've seen lots of posts on reddit about this but none of the reviews mentioned it.
I got them and kept having issues with them cutting out for a second or 2 and then reconnecting - this was on PC where I do most of my gaming. I connected them to PS5, updated both the headset and adapter (need to connect headset via wire to PS5 for the headset to update), and then I made sure to remove any other wireless devices that are not in use out of the way. Both, my keyboard and mouse are capable of wireless, but I use them wired since I sit close to the PC and it doesn't make a difference to me, so I disconnected the wireless adapters for them, and I also have a wireless remote for a portable A/C in my computer room that's situated in a way so that I sit right in-between the remote and A/C, and the remote takes a temp reading to tell the A/C when to kick on, so it has constant back and forth signal, so I made sure to move the remote so I'm not in a direct path of its connection to my A/C. I don't know which of those actions fixed my issues, but no more sound drops, just clear, great sound. I was beginning to worry that I'd have to return these headphones which I was trying to avoid because they are great value for what you get so my next option would have been twice as expensive (either Audeze Maxwell or Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro), so I'm glad I ended up resolving the sound issue.
got some new tats since the last time i tuned in! I preorded this headset a while ago lol. Been waiting for reviews for a while. 🤣 I'm for sure getting some Wicked Cushions for these though. Can't wait!!
So where is the part about PC usage? Does the Surround Sound work as good on PC? Does the Mic? Is the BT Sound good? Does Windows Sonic for Headphones Help? Is it only worth it if you have a PS5?
@The Techne how dare you force the wife to drive so you can enjoy the headset 🤣 Thanks again for a nice review. I’m getting this headset when it’s released. I love my Nova 7 Wireless, but as a PS5 gamer it’s annoying keep having to go to my PC to change the EQ every time there’s a sound update for a game or just for playing different games and as the PS5 has the 5 band EQ it will make life easier when gaming
How much better is the overall sound quality? I'm talking about when playing videogames, music and videos. Is the sound quality kinda the same or is it worth upgrading? The sound quality of the PS Pulse are already insanely good, here I am hoping its even better with the PS PULSE Elite
It’s a newer sound technology from Audeze, and from the other reviews I’ve seen, it is leagues ahead of any other headset in the $150 range, and even better than a few of the premium $200-250 gaming headphones. Planar magnetic drivers are great for soundstage.
Great Video. What about the sidetone Feature on ps5 since the Last Update on 8.60. Does it work? Can u hear youself while talking? Greetings from Germany
In your reviews you say we need to experiemce planar magnetic sound. Will using this headset let us experience the sound quality you are talking about?
I wonder if we’re going to be able to change the ear pads or if it just going to be hot ears for days. I know he said he couldn’t get them off but I really hope we can
They look kinda small compared to old Pulse 3D. Am I wrong? Also I hope dongle won’t overheat on PS5 Slim because you need to connect right where hot air comes out.
You can mute them also from the controller and since most of their buyers will have a PS5, that’s not an issue, so now I’m not sure you really test them very well.
Great Video!!! Which of the EQ Presents is the best for shooters like Rainbow Six or something? Or do I have to customize my own? Thanks for this great video.
7:18 Man that AI microphone is crazy. That’s definitely going to help during those hot summer days when I have my fan on. I don’t have to keep muting my mic for I don’t annoy anyone with fan feedback.
How does the sounds compare to the pulse 3d, I also find the pulse 3d to be more on the quiet side, and is it worth going for the new pulse elite or the Sony inzone h9?
I don’t know why, but for some reason I get this feeling that if I put this headset on, I just feel like my KD score is going to drop tremendously…..like I’m going miss every shot I take in a FPS…
Hey Techne, So, I just found out today that Sony released the Inzone H5 headset last year?? I had no idea this even existed. I'm curious, but I can't find a video of you reviewing those. Did you?
I have this headset. I'm having problem with mic. I mute it and when I unmute it the mic stays on muted. The sound is good but the mic stays muted. I have to unplug the dongle and replug. Anyone else having this problem?
Got mine today, not a bad headset. Sound as good as the pulse 3d, definitely better mic and better battery. I would say that if you get 3rd party ear pads for the pulse 3d they would be more comfortable than these but that’s all personal preference. I don’t really like the pleather ear pads on any headset. Prefer the velour ear pads. It’s not a bad headset for $150, but I think I am going to stick with my Corsair virtuoso xts, prefer the sound of the virtuoso than these even on ps5, mic is still better too
Hi man, love the videos! What’s your opinion about the Nova 7x vs the Pulse Elite? I’ve recently bought the 7x but I can still return them and get my money back if I want to. Maybe I should swap the 7x for the new Elite? Keep up the good work!
Which is better, Playstation Pulse Elite or 2023 Blackshark V2 Pro? Asking for my son's B-Day gift. He isn't much into music. Plays tons of games with friends, and watches a lot of content and movies.
Do you think the noise cancelation blocks out other people's voices and sounds coming from another room? I have fans and do have friends tell me they can hear the fans, but they say my kids playing in opposing room is what seems to come across the loudest with my current mic.
@@AbsoluteKidder i mean if your kids are in a different room, i’m pretty sure these headset will have no problem canceling them out. if they were in the same room then i wouldn’t be so sure
For music, I didn't really like the first gen. Much prefer something more balanced like the Edifier ones. For gaming, it was great. But a bit too bassy
I like them but one thing I don’t like is they seem to randomly lose their connection to the PlayStation and it’s not always so easy to get them to reconnect.

inzone h9 vs pulse elite which would you recommend.?
@TheTechne Bro I tried these all day yesterday testing them for various games and music and I’m disappointed
It sounds amazing, that detailed planar magnetic sound is really amazing
However, I don’t know if I’ve got a faulty one, but out of the box sound every time there’s strong bass I got that distorting crackling and even in COD MW3 every time I was shooting at an enemy and that strong sound you get when you kill an enemy it done the same thing. Even when reducing the bass it done the same thing and when you reduce bass even more it makes the sound rubbish anyway
Is that what you got when listening to something with strong bass???
Looks like the earpads fabric are just pinched tight, like on the old Pulse headset . My dog found out on the old pair lol
Im using these day 2. About 9 hours of gaming so far, the witcher 3, final fantasy remake and Apex Legends. So far i really like them
Any disconnects?
no
What are ur EQ settings for them
How is it for warzone
Do your ears get hot or sweaty ?
Got mine pre ordered. Was waiting on this review... Glad I got them coming now 👍
Yea same here got mine pre ordered too
Together we shall wait
So how do you feel now about the headset? I sold mine in the first month.
the noice cancellations is crazy! can’t wait for mine next week
These don't have noise cancellation.
Noise cancellation is what you hear/don't hear through the headphones.
Noise rejection is what OTHERS hear through the mic. That is what was in the video and seemed absolutely mental how good it was.
@@adavidtoremember thank you
Do we get them early because we preorders mine says the 22nd?
@@East573 i think it depends on where u live
Does the dual device connectivity work for game audio and a discord call on mobile?
Thank you so much for ACTUALLY testing the microphone it sounds great to me and the noise cancellation is insane you made me pre order this it looks awesome
Yeah that mic was awesome!
It probably sounds best on ps
I preordered that shit like 4months ago too😂
Mine just shipped! Super excited about getting it.
I hope the quality of the ear cushion improved compared to the previous version. If not, that cheap leather starts to peel off after roughly 6months. Absolute trash and never again
I hope you don’t plan on connecting them with an IPhone bro I got mine yesterday and sadly they didn’t connect with my 13 Pro nor can you adjust chat/game Volume balance like you could with the pulse 3d but you can connect the new ear buds with an iPhone… go figure with that 🤦🏼♂️
@@peedeeaerialproductions I just tested it and it works fine with my iPhone 15 Pro.

6:42 Dude...what's with that PS Portal case you have there?! That's the REAL star of the show! 😇 Where can I get that from?
Looks like the JOYTORN Full Protective Case Cover from Amazon. Just snagged it for the portal I grabbed today after noticing your comment. Thanks!
I picked mine up thismorning in Australia for my portal.... im very very happy with them.
I've had the Audeze Mobius since their release (held together by tape these days), and I was hoping to pick up the Maxwell, but at $150, these are a fantastic value! I love Audeze Planar Magnetic!!

I connected mine to a DAC and they sound so much better than the Bluetooth. Planar magnetic deserves a good DAC to get the best sound quality
That mic was so much better than i expected it to be. I pre ordered one today. Are you able to monitor your voice in the headset while speaking, like you can with the normal pulse headset? Are there side tone settings?
Yep, with the release of these and the Pulse earbuds, Sony put out a firmware update for the PS5 that adds the equalizer and sidetone settings.
Im using them while watching this video and i love them and they are really good imo
Thanks, Techne. You do this better than anyone.
Does it fit over the psvr2?? 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I need to know this as well please.
IT DOES.
Yes thats why it has that strange design
Owned these but ended up buying the pulse explore for overall comfort, so I returned them. Came across a pair on mercari for $50 great condition and I couldn't resist.

All pleather ear pads ive ever used have gotten too hot for comfort. Appreciate the detailed overview of this new Sony headset though.
If I did not have my Maxwell for music as well, these would have easily have been my next choice

- Arctis 7p
All of them still in very nice shape and condition. Why? Cuz i take care of them. Hours of use daily etc etc then after i put them nicely back where they supposed to be to be after use.

Am i the only one hearing annoying sounds when i move arround my head while playing or listening to music etc?
The planar crinkle. It sucks. I gave up on my maxwell because of it.

• Possibly has much better response and less latency due to PS Link
• Planar Magnetic drivers (different from dynamic drivers used in almost all headsets) start at a minimum of £300. Pulse Elite has them at under £150. The sound quality is in another league.
So what are you sacrificing from the Pulse 3D?
- Sidetone control buttons

- Very ugly design on the Pulse Elite (imo)
- The cups aren’t as rigid and are slightly flimsier on the Pulse Elite. This approach improved comfort for different head shapes but might have decreased build quality.
Pulse 3D rrp is £90/ $100

I was beginning to worry that I'd have to return these headphones which I was trying to avoid because they are great value for what you get so my next option would have been twice as expensive (either Audeze Maxwell or Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro), so I'm glad I ended up resolving the sound issue.
Interesting, I'm undecided between this, for mostly PC some xbox 3.5 maybe, but also really tempted by the maxwell as well 🤔
A dang good option for $150
Have you tried the quality of the voice while wired??
got some new tats since the last time i tuned in! I preorded this headset a while ago lol. Been waiting for reviews for a while. 🤣 I'm for sure getting some Wicked Cushions for these though. Can't wait!!
Just randomly stopped in gamstop today and picked this up. I dont even use headphones like that, but i wanted the latest and greatest. 😂
So where is the part about PC usage? Does the Surround Sound work as good on PC? Does the Mic? Is the BT Sound good? Does Windows Sonic for Headphones Help? Is it only worth it if you have a PS5?
@The Techne how dare you force the wife to drive so you can enjoy the headset 🤣
Thanks again for a nice review. I’m getting this headset when it’s released. I love my Nova 7 Wireless, but as a PS5 gamer it’s annoying keep having to go to my PC to change the EQ every time there’s a sound update for a game or just for playing different games and as the PS5 has the 5 band EQ it will make life easier when gaming
😂😂
How much better is the overall sound quality? I'm talking about when playing videogames, music and videos. Is the sound quality kinda the same or is it worth upgrading? The sound quality of the PS Pulse are already insanely good, here I am hoping its even better with the PS PULSE Elite
It’s a newer sound technology from Audeze, and from the other reviews I’ve seen, it is leagues ahead of any other headset in the $150 range, and even better than a few of the premium $200-250 gaming headphones. Planar magnetic drivers are great for soundstage.
Great review. Keep up the good work.
Great Video. What about the sidetone Feature on ps5 since the Last Update on 8.60. Does it work? Can u hear youself while talking? Greetings from Germany
Ive been contemplating buying a big money headset. When i heard who sony teamed up with this headset i got excited. Now i might pick them up
These headsets should be good for playing Madden 24
Just waiting on my order next week. The Elites are $150. So my expectations are in check. I'm excited though, for the Elite and what's to come.
same
same bro cant wait for these collecting mine very soon :)
I love your videos, you re the best, keep going!
can anyone comment on the directional audio for FPS games? I'd like to know how they perform on footsteps and their location etc..
me too
Dang that mic sounds good, makes my G Pro X Wireless sound like trash.
In your reviews you say we need to experiemce planar magnetic sound. Will using this headset let us experience the sound quality you are talking about?
💯 yes
@@TheTechne That is awesome! thanks for the reply, can't wait to check them out next week.
I wonder if we’re going to be able to change the ear pads or if it just going to be hot ears for days. I know he said he couldn’t get them off but I really hope we can
They look kinda small compared to old Pulse 3D. Am I wrong?
Also I hope dongle won’t overheat on PS5 Slim because you need to connect right where hot air comes out.
How well does Discord transfer to PS5 work? I have arctis 7p headphones, and that particular functionality doesn't work well at all.
many reviews saying after around 4 hours of use it uses about 10% of the battery, pretty decent sounding
Had one disconnect with pulse elite en my ps5, read on reddit a lot of problems with losing connection.
Same won’t connect now going to have to send back
Are they better than astro a40s
would you say its just as good or equal to my arctis pro wireless?
Also need answer to this
You can mute them also from the controller and since most of their buyers will have a PS5, that’s not an issue, so now I’m not sure you really test them very well.
Biggest setback for me is that you can’t swap the ear pads. HUGE miss
Sony bought Audyssey last year so yeah they kind of bought them for this tech.
Audeze*
Sound quality sounds great.
Great Video!!! Which of the EQ Presents is the best for shooters like Rainbow Six or something? Or do I have to customize my own? Thanks for this great video.
Is the headset good for rainbow six
Those headphones normally would be around $400. Sony is using Audeze tech in their headphones. Audeze is very expensive.
Thank you for taking the time to show us how to properly do these exercises.
I appreciate your expertise!
7:18 Man that AI microphone is crazy. That’s definitely going to help during those hot summer days when I have my fan on. I don’t have to keep muting my mic for I don’t annoy anyone with fan feedback.
How does the sounds compare to the pulse 3d, I also find the pulse 3d to be more on the quiet side, and is it worth going for the new pulse elite or the Sony inzone h9?
I don’t know why, but for some reason I get this feeling that if I put this headset on, I just feel like my KD score is going to drop tremendously…..like I’m going miss every shot I take in a FPS…
Does this headset have awareness mode?
Hey Techne,
So, I just found out today that Sony released the Inzone H5 headset last year?? I had no idea this even existed. I'm curious, but I can't find a video of you reviewing those. Did you?
I have this headset. I'm having problem with mic. I mute it and when I unmute it the mic stays on muted. The sound is good but the mic stays muted. I have to unplug the dongle and replug. Anyone else having this problem?
no
Got mine today, not a bad headset. Sound as good as the pulse 3d, definitely better mic and better battery. I would say that if you get 3rd party ear pads for the pulse 3d they would be more comfortable than these but that’s all personal preference. I don’t really like the pleather ear pads on any headset. Prefer the velour ear pads. It’s not a bad headset for $150, but I think I am going to stick with my Corsair virtuoso xts, prefer the sound of the virtuoso than these even on ps5, mic is still better too
Hi man, love the videos! What’s your opinion about the Nova 7x vs the Pulse Elite?
I’ve recently bought the 7x but I can still return them and get my money back if I want to. Maybe I should swap the 7x for the new Elite?
Keep up the good work!
Which is better, Playstation Pulse Elite or 2023 Blackshark V2 Pro? Asking for my son's B-Day gift. He isn't much into music. Plays tons of games with friends, and watches a lot of content and movies.
I wonder how they sound connected wired on ps5 controller and on the portal
The noise cancellation is impressive but it totally destroys the sound quality. I guess the mic in general isn't good even with it off.
Do you think the noise cancelation blocks out other people's voices and sounds coming from another room? I have fans and do have friends tell me they can hear the fans, but they say my kids playing in opposing room is what seems to come across the loudest with my current mic.
wish he did more on the noise cancellation test, i have a big fan and worry that my friends can hear it
@@kyothiq from what i heard. It blocks out anything that is not human voice. It may not be great for my situation, but was hoping to see it confirmed.
@@AbsoluteKidder i mean if your kids are in a different room, i’m pretty sure these headset will have no problem canceling them out. if they were in the same room then i wouldn’t be so sure
For music, I didn't really like the first gen. Much prefer something more balanced like the Edifier ones. For gaming, it was great. But a bit too bassy
Lookin forward to vs Maxwell,
Which Oakley's are those?
I like them but one thing I don’t like is they seem to randomly lose their connection to the PlayStation and it’s not always so easy to get them to reconnect.
