Powered by Tempest 3D AudioTech, the PS5 console can put you at the center of incredibly immersive soundscapes where it feels as if the sound comes from every direction.
The Sony Pulse 3D headset review is only one of the many reviews you can expect from IGN this holiday season. Stay tuned for more IGN reviews and PS5 gameplay!
#ign
alcohol in the back, tears in his eyes, mans should’ve taken the week off 😭
💀💀💀💀😭
Lmao
LMAOOOO
These sound like lyrics, “alcohol in the back, tears in his eyes, all the world gave him was deception and lies.” 😂
@@denisoconnor5917 he didn't want to review a headset. he wanted to review ps5
Why does this man look like he is reviewing the headset after a breakup with his gf
Lmao
Eyebrows doing their own thing
I CAN'T BREATHE !!! LMAOOOOOOOO THIS COMMENT KILLED ME !!! lol
LMFAO hahahahahaha
Hahaha🤣🤣 I never thought until I read your comment😂 mega lol so true I’m creased
I’ve got a very specific question I’m hoping IGN or someone can answer.
Do you know what happens when you turn off the 3D audio in the setting menu? Does all sound get outputted through each earcup?
I’m deaf in one ear, so sadly I won’t be able to benefit from the 3D audio, but if it can output all sound through each side, I can still use the headset without missing out on half the audio.
Please do a poor half deaf person a favour and let me know! Thanks!
Ign shown us another demo of the interface a few days ago, where they touched on the settings of the 3d audio, maybe its worth saying a look, pausing the vid on certain segments and reading the descriptions buddy.
Letˋs like this comment to push it!
@@owenjackson2388 Already tried that matey, but the system doesn’t give an explanation to each of the settings. I even reached out to Sony and they couldn’t answer it. Basically I need someone with access to a PS5 to test it out. Would be very helpful!
@@ephialtes300 Thanks a bunch!
From I technical stand point if you turn off 3d audio it should do audio from each cup. I would be quite concerned if this wasn't the case. You can trust me I know this kinda stuff 😊
"I'll do the damn review, okay! Please, put the gun down. My family has nothing to do with this".
😂😂😂😂😂
lmfaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
😂🤣😂🤣😂
LMAO
Lmfao
Lmfao my mans crying . You can tell he wanted to review the PS5 😭
His voice really sounds like it 😭
@@bruhduh9595 he's hurt 😂😭
He’s the chief editor at IGN. Trust, If he wanted to be the one to review the PS5, he would of made it happen.
@@Crazyloonitic17 he wanted, but he was being shy probably 😂
@@Crazyloonitic17 have*
the reviewer has like 10 bottles of liquor behind him lol
Working for ign must take its toll.
2020.
@@clash4cityrocker Yeah exactly who doesnt have 10 bottles of liquor behind them nowadays. How else do you survive the lockdown?
N that has what to do with anything
This man isn’t even wearing the headphones, during the reviews he’s rocking a pair of Astros 😂
This headset while using 3D audio is going to be terrifying in Resident Evil 8
It really is lol
You should try real Dolby Atmos. A headset can never come close to true 3D audio. Resident Evil 2 had it and it was insane. It literally sounded like the tyrant was on my roof when he is above you
I already have 3D audio with my wired headphones on my Switch. Sounds really immersive and it can even tell me where bombs are coming from in Splatoon
@@CompetitionChris lol, this is litterly better than Dolby atoms I mean wtf are u talking about
@@Fabio-ql5yf No Dolby Atmos headphones and sound bars are a gimmick. I'm talking about a 7.2.4 or 5.1.2 setup. 5-7 speakers around you with 2-4 ceiling speakers and a sub or two. That's what Dolby Atmos was designed for. Overhead speakers. Home theater setups. Atmos Soundbars have two speakers that point up to bounce off the ceiling but they don't work at all. With overhead speakers that literally sounds like a helicopter or whatever is above you. And Atmos headsets will never come close because they're still only two speakers. They just use software emulation to make it sound like you have 3D sound.
Am I the only person who noticed the abundance of alcohol in the background? 😂👀
and the shiny eyes :)
Its 2020
My dude going through something
Leave him alone
see the blanket...whats up with that?
Reviews Pulse 3D headset, wears different headset during entire review.
What is he wearing?
@@Codyburgerking i think steelseries arctics wireless pro
And has an xbox series x box in the background lmao
@@AtinsMusic companies like IGN receive both to review
@@SaintRampalSpiritualLeader I spy a wire :0/
why does his face look like sony is standing IN front of him with gun forcing him to give positive review.....
sounds like u are salty that he did give a positive review
@@adev3028 🤨
Because you're hate can't handle the truth you you're typing out loud lol
Why everything need to be forced review? Not everyone can put sunny sunday smily face everytime, some peoples just used to put serious expression
@@M-8o5 Bro what? He's making a joke about the overly-serious, shiny/greasy face the man had throughout the video.
“It makes you feel like a headset”
"Theres a little sound for everyone."
My man has a hangover but still put this video out Lmaoo that’s dedication right there
He looks like he is allergic to light
He might have dust allergies, or...... corona!!!!!
He was so happy he has a ps5😭
Or he's drunk
@@Kanuk97 who asked tho?
Brah😂😂😂
Hearing the sound on my earbuds.
Ah yes, definitely can sense the difference.
lmao
What about modern warfare or fn?
I've been using mine on my PS4 playing Warzone and, no joke, it's brought my KD up by .05 within a couple of days. The directional sound is so accurate and absolutely fantastic. I also love that you can boost the game or chat audio at any given time.
ps4 doesn't have the Tempest audio Chip. The headsets just stereo audio xD so you are just hearing left and right. you can only have directional 3D Audio with PS5's Tempest Audio engine.
@@SianCKB fair enough. All's I'm sayin' is even with whatever the PS4 has, it's been a game changer.
@@Brandr3ws no for sure don't get me wrong I didn't want to come off as mean.. just wanted to say that 3d audio wasn't possible on ps4 haha, but yeah that pulse 3d headset sounds great even in stereo. :D
How does the Mike sound to others
@@SianCKB There are several games with 3D audio on ps4....
It still blows my mind that Sony requires an external usb dongle to use their own headset that they built. Build that into the console. I love my Platinum headset but having that dongle jutting out the front of the ps4 kills the looks and I’m always worried something will hit it and snap it off. Admittedly the ps5 has 3 ports on the back, not 2 but still, you built it for the console.
Nah because with the dongle its not compatible with pc’s meaning it can touch an external market
Interesting but would like a comparison between already great headsets in the market & the Pulse to see if it's really worth buying if u already own a great pair.
Because they will be supported via PlayStation bluetooth makes them worth it. No other wireless gaming headphones are supported by Sony, that makes this headset without any competitors. I would say the headset isn't bad for 99,99$ because some wireless earbuds cost more.
@@eyeofterra haha you havent researched at all. almost all wireless gaming headsets work on ps4 and ps5, and the ps5 headset doesnt use bluetooth for the fast connection
@@monarchu not without a bluetooth dongle. Regular bluetooth connections won't work on ps4 with headsets
@@eyeofterra no comeptitor? lol thats bull.. other wireless headsets can still be better for wirless transmission.. for example the steelseries arctis pro wireless.. they do wireless connection over wifi. much superior to bluetooth, because its lossless audio, unlike bluetooth wireless... arctis pros are hi res audio and also support 3d audio on the ps5... although they're way more expensive at $300.. i use them for ps4 and highly recommend them if you dont mind spending a little more
@@eyeofterra LMAO what weed have you been smoking, there are enough wireless gaming headphones that work on both the PS4 and PS5.
Let's just review headphone without wearing it.
They wear it then make a review
@@poppyempress7199 you're both right, it's just odd. Most all headset reviews has the reviewer wearing the headset they're talking about. Its especially noticable when the difference between the 2 is so big.
@@isaiasanchez1987 he thought that they haven't tried it yet and I said they could just test it and then talk about it
@@poppyempress7199 damn, we really don't have anything better to do 🤔 i'm gonna order pizza 🍕 what about you?
@@isaiasanchez1987 Ill order a Grand slam from Denny's
I’ve been using them for a week on my ps4 pro. Comfy so far but I still gotta try the PS5
Really that's awesome
@Real I’d say these since they’re made for ps5. They’re very comfortable, cushy and decent sound but you have to try them and compare you know
How's the mic? I don't want my friends to hear any fan noises or me clicking the controller
@@MacikSeba the mic is noise-canceling, so you should be fine. The mic quality is great as well, especially for the price.
@@mikemills326 the guy in the video said that it picked up noises from his basement so that worried me :/
I'm really enjoying these on my PS4 and can't wait to try them out on the PS5. So far they're amazing for the price and I can only imagine they would get better with the PS5s Tempst Engine. I've been told that if you choose the correct HRTF (head-related transfer function) preset that closely matches your own HRTF then it'll be hard to tell the difference between the game audio and real life. I will definitely be testing these out vs other wireless headsets once my PS5 comes in.
So these headsets works with the 3d presets on the PS4?? Cuz I'm not getting a PS5 until the new GOW comes out.
To anyone who’s thinking about getting one I totally recommend buying it mine arrived a few days ago and it’s absolutely amazing the sound quality is so amazing and the mic is clear
Is this just exclusively for PS5 use? Or it can also be used on a PC or even on a phone?
@@melchizedechmediona7512 i want to know this as well!!!
@@melchizedechmediona7512 same
This comment isn’t directed at you, I’m just putting it on this thread. I’ve seen that people are using them on their PCs.
@@melchizedechmediona7512 yes you can use it on PC
I've had $40 amazon headsets and $400 Astro's, however I've been using these for a week and it's pretty impressive. Definitely priced right imo.
I feel like mines faulty because sound seems muddy. Sounds better through my TV speakers..
Is the astro better or the ps5 headset
Can you also use it for say listening to music?
Watched this with my Pulse 3D Headset. Amazing. Once with 3.5mm jack stereo and once connected with the 3D Sound. Both on PS4 Pro and PS5 Its incredible what this Headset delivers for 99$
is it comfortable
@@danvird8649 it is, but that rubber part on top sometimes hurts a little, but fix that by reajusting the headset on your head
Ok is it just me or does it feel like this dude is about to cry ? 2020 really did it's thing on him 🥺
@@theaveragegamer1719 meh
Not including a mic test seems real strange in a headset review.
Thats because the mic sounds meh
@@xbaassassin9004 still essential for a any headphone review especially gaming
XbA Assassin saw a review with a mic test, and it actually did not sound bad at all. If anything, it was better than the Arctis 7P from SteelSeries
My mans been having a party i see all those bottles back there lol
Sony killing it! Well done on the headset and especially the controller!
Glad you informed us that you don't get the full effect in wired mode, as I would never have known that
Sounds great on PC and PS4 with the adaptor it's revolutionary when listening to music and sounds great in party chat, in my opinion, the best money I have ever spent and a fantastic headset with just about 12 hours of battery life and it was made specifically for the PS5 and I don't have the system yet until the 12th like everyone else but I'm hyped and excited to hear and feel what it has to offer can't wait!!!
Can you determine the direction of enemies by sound in PC ?
@@bandarhassan7872 its just a headphone, so yes.
He looks like he's doing the voice-over without a camera pointed at him. That's his concentration face to not miss a beat and have a steady and constant voice and do it in as clean take as possible. He looks like he's serious about doing the piece, that's all.
That faux leather is gonna eventually start peeling just like my Golds
Replacement ear cups for the golds are super cheap on Amazon, I just picked up some myself
My gold never pealed, maybe they changed the material in newer headsets
Even in my platinum headsets , all faux just stripped off
I wish they had opted for a soft fabric like Astros use instead of faux leather which gets sweaty.
Absolute cheap quality headset,got the same problem with my gold that the fake leather is peeling off,even broke a pin on the right side,but I still have my Platinum headset,only after a few hours,the headset hurts on the ears.This new headset is the same as the Platinum headset,only different build
love hearing the 3-D audio through my 2-D phone speakers
I've just bought some and tried them out yesterday and HOLY POO. They're outstanding 👏🏻 👌 so very well done and sounds are wild and amazingly clear.
Missed opportunity not to have Miles wearing them!
There gaming headphones he’s wearing Sony headphones made for music
The specs, the design and the price
This is must have with ps5
I hope I can use this with xsx
@@husseinalwashah1489 you can I have been using it. Just doesn’t have the 3D audio feature and you have to plug it into the controller
@@cory4548 tried it with atmos?
@@spazco8669 I have not but I can and I'll let you know
@@cory4548 I'd be interested in a comparison between atmos and tempest once the consoles are out.
I don’t want it...
I need it😫
69th like awesome
Stolen comment
I will get it in 3 days 😂 I got it on Amazon
@Kenneth Evans i see some on my Walmart finna buy it now.
I have this headset now one week... It's not worth the 100$... Mic quality ist very bad... Sound is okay (nothing special) if u want a better quality for this money take the hyperx cloud 2 or razer tournament edition (SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH... It's not my language🤣)
Just waiting on my ps5 pre-order and my headset pre-order!! 🙌🏽 (November 19th it releases in U.K.)
@Prij .T Did u get it
@@donnyercolting8949 the ps5 yes, that came on time, the headset not yet still! The place I bought it from are waiting for stock, as soon as it comes they’ll ship it out to me
@@Prij95 check Sony's website they restock them frequently.
What a legend. This guy is talking about a PlayStation headset while having an Xbox Series X in the background.
This headset is sweet, can confirm. If you're questioning it, it's worth the money. Same goes for the $99 microsoft hesdset for the series X, they're both great respectively.
He's crying because he's listening to My Heart Will Go On in 360 fidelity for the first time during the video...and it's beautiful.
The difference in audio on warzone from PS4-ps5 is night and day. The 3D audio is amazing
It's no doubt this is going to be a great headset considering Sony all ready makes some of the best headphones on the market
Thanks the review. I’m hopeful that it outlasts the previous Amazon headset and hyper x brands I’ve used. So excited to use this tonight 🎮
No One:
Guy in Video:🥺
So what I’m hearing is this headset really makes you FEEL like Spider-Man...
ign surprised me! This is the best review I've seen on the headset, now I'm comvinced to pick one up. How does it sound with cell phones and the switch?
HOW DOES THIS COMPARE TO THE GOLD AND mainly PLATINUM SONY HEADSET. The platinum headsets are 3D audio compatible as well
I DONT KNOW
WHY ARE WE USING ALL CAPS
ASKING THE REAL QUESTIONS
BECAUSE IGN IS LAZY AF!
Seriously though, it almost sounds like the guy is reading the product information page. I'll wait for digital foundry or RTINGS review.
On the PS4 the platinums are hands down better in sound quality, overall volume and audio range. I’m holding off to try them on the PS5 and compare there. So far if you own the platinums these feel like a downgrade in every department.
Why is he crying
He wanted to review the console not the headset😔😂
@@Kid.Uh_7 😂😂
He works at IGN
omg !!!! that's so funny dude
Because he misses her
When the clarity and sophistication of your voice brings you to near tears...
He looks like my wallet crying
Seems like IGN are giving a ghost review. Doesn't seem like you guys actually got your hands on the unit.
Bro they always have done ghost reviews for past 10 years. Where you been hiding?
Can we get a comparison with previous sony headsets? I have the gold and Cerny said that the tempest 3d audio will work with any headphones. So is this a real step up from the gold or platinums?
I’m not 100% so don’t quote me on this, but I believe this headphones are specifically designed for it, and the gold headset isn’t. Also idk ab the gold headset bc I had one but it broke years ago, but the pulse 3D headset has noise cancelling microphones, along with a few other features.
Also I think it’s just an upgrade in technology in general, like going from one iPhone to the next but obviously not as much that
I think it’s one of the only wireless headsets for the PS5. And that’s about it
I’ve heard it’s more comfortable than the platinum ones.
@@Stupranos they are. The platinum ones are definitely comfortable, but the cushion is thicker on the pulse and the black band that adjusts to ur head adds to the comfort.
this doesnt answer the most obvious question "is the pulse 3d headset worth getting over whatever headset you already have".
do you gain anything from the "Tempest 3d audio tech" in the ps5 that another headphone CANT do?
If anyone is wondering, these are literally just wireless headphones. No more, no less. They themselves do nothing for the audio, meaning there is no sound processing done within the headphones themselves. The PS5 is doing ALL of the processing and then just sending that audio out to “speakers”, more or less.
If you already have a nice gaming headset, or just a super comfy pair of headphones, you don’t need this headset unless you really hate having the cord plugged into your controller.
I pre ordered this blind.
Glad I did now.
Surely you pre ordered it deaf?!
The Pulse 3d is literally my old headset on steroids, I have a Cougar headset with a head support and circular ear muffs. I can’t wait to buy one.
The design is so nice i wish it wasn't advertised as a gaming headphones. Would love this for music. Something they should've done for the xm4's....!
HE LOOK SERIOUS AF THROUGH THIS WHOLE REVIEW. HIS EYES. THAT HAND. SERIOUS AF.
I don’t need it
I need it 😭

@@waubadoo no this is pAtRiCk
Blink thrice if you're being held captive
It really makes you feel like a headset
Accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior he died for your sins
This thing is light as hell, and great sound, I’m satisfied
I thought 3D sound can only be active via wired connection. I’m not a headset person, but I’m definitely considering this. Can this fit with the PSVR on?
Just tried it fits around your vr perfectly
im listening to this on a pair right now so your review is being experienced in a fps sense
just wandering if I can use my WH-1000XM4 instead and get the same effect or buying Pulse 3D headset is a must for it
I hope someone can answer this one. I have the same question.
Sony claimed 3d audio would work with any stereo headphones.
I would think so. All headsets basically are the same. Just two speakers. The "3d Effects" are all done from processing on the system.
And the XM2 please 🙏
@@samtagg8754 with the cable (for the moment)
Why would you review a headset while wearing a totally different one on your head? It doesn't inspire much confidence in the product. BTW. the alcohol in the background doesn't look very professional.
Just remember the build quality is made to last one year. I've had the 1st & 2nd gen PS4 headset and they all lasted about one year (weak plastic gets broken).
It build to last 5-7 years
My platinum is still working after more than 3 years. The leather on the ear cups have peeled off though...
@@chaosvirusFX The plastics get broken so easily.
I've had my Uncharted Gold Headset for over 5 years now. Only recently did they stop working.
Target had them in stock at 3pm est but by the time I clicked the link to order the product, it was already sold out.
When your headphones get a better score than the console that they work with
Really makes you FEEL like you’re listening through Sony Pulse 3D
Sony is a titan in the sound industry. But all the :PlayStation: headsets they have released have been extremely uncomfortable. I hope that they ship their 3d audio update quick so that people can use it with headsets like HyperX
You can use it with any headphones.
I did not like wearing the Gold PS headset last gen but the Pulse headset is a lot more comfortable to wear.
Never had an issue I've had the goods and the platinums
Imagine listening to 8D songs with Pulse 3D headset. Anime comes to life.
Why's he got so much alcohol in the background.
I was waiting for some kind of review before i was to buy this headset. Looks like i'm buying it (at some point)
Finally, a legit reviewer! Keep this guy around, he knows his stuff
Not big Bo reviewing a Sony headset while wearing Steelseries! 😭
So far I am loving this with my PS4. Can't wait to use it on my PS5. They aren't wrong with being aware of the battery. Sometimes after using it for 6 or 7 hours I see it with one bar. But then I just charge it when I'm not using it.
That thing is only 100 bucks. That's hella cheap for a headset of this next-gen quality. Thanks Sony for this amazing product
Reviews Sony Pulse 3D - wears another headset during the entire review. 😂
I would have liked them to compare the pulse against a regular headset plugged into the controller. Do we lose the 3d audio?
Imagine reviewing a wireless headset without mentioning latency once........
Hopefully that means it wasn't an issue at all
... that depends on your connection ...
I've been using the headset for over a week on the PS4, and I haven't noticed any issues whatsoever.
Listening to this review with the pulse 3d right now, Very pleased with my purchase.
@francisco51028 Still happy with the Pulse 3D?
Amazing! this headset has worried for many people being cheaply made comparing to high-end gaming headset
"Surround sound isn't active over a wired connection so you don't get a full effect."
Does this mean that 3D audio won't work out of the 3.5mm jack?! Nobody has been touching base on this. Is this for all headsets, or just this one?
Is that even correct? Seems incorrect. I have the Platinum and I can tell you, it sounds way better with 3D while its connected via wire. When you go wireless, there is a noticeable drop in audio. I also read up online that almost every wireless headset sounds better when there is a wired connection compared to the bluetooth connection
@@chorizoloco8220 This seems very incorrect based upon everything I've used and everything I've read/heard. I'd love clarification on what this is supposed to mean.
@@tylerstravis are you referring to what I said or the video?
@@chorizoloco8220 I'm agreeing with you and referring to what was said in the video.
@@tylerstravis ok, sorry was confused. But then again this is IGN. We probably won't get the best break down of the the PS5 headset until the real audiophile headset reviewers get there hands on one and can compare different headsets with the PS5 console itself
Would be great if they weren’t sold out everywhere ):(
I hope can get one sooner than later.
Sony still makes it a confusing mess IMHO. Cerny's presentation clearly showed that the 3D audio through the Tempest engine also works on stereo headsets. The Pulse 3D headset apparently only has 1 driver per ear, so it's by definition a stereo headset. So why then do you get less of surround effects when wired to the controller than by using the dongle. And why is a dongle needed anyway ? The way I understood the dongle of my PS4 Gold headset, it's doing the transcoding from surround into stereo to get virtual surround in the headset, but since the PS5 has the Tempest engine/chip, such conversion is happening in the console. So what's the function of the dongle then ???
The dongle is required for the data transfer between headset and the console. It doesn't work over Bluetooth as it would greatly reduce audio quality when using chat.
the opening background music on the video has tron legacy vibes
They used his face to make that sad snapchat filter
Wonder if I can use my AirPod pros with the PS5. 🧐
I hope so
I don't think the PS4 or PS5 allow Bluetooth headphones.
Same
Such a bummer that PS4 doesn't allow wireless headset that isn't Sony's own
Stop flexing
If they don’t then they really dropped the ball on a massive problem this gen... my favourite pair of over ear headphones which sounded great were pointless when it came to console gaming... pls Sony... give us Bluetooth headphone support...
Surround sound isn't active over a wired connection? 3:30 . I thought Sony said it would be, hence the ability to use existing headsets?
You are correct: On the PS5, you’ll be able to experience 3D Audio with the headphones that many of you already own, either through USB connection to the console, or by plugging your headphones into the DualSense wireless controller’s 3.5mm headset jack.

@@heurtauxgaming3019 Thanks for confirming! Can't trust IGN these days lol.
@@heurtauxgaming3019 Is there any loss of quality using the 3.5 mm vs wireless USB dongle?
I just played with my headphones on my PC and it sounds dope.
Is it worth the price or should I just get some turtle beachs
This dudes talking about a ps5 headset with an x-box in the background
Not worth the hype to he honest. I picked up the Pulse 3D and Turtle Beach Stealth 700 and ive got to say the 700 are way better. The pulse are not loud enough for my tastw and dont have as much Bass as i would like to enjoy explosions. Mic works and sounds great as it only pics up your voice and not the music playing low in the next room.
Love the design
For the price, that's a great headset. I had a Astro a50 for three years... Best headset I ever had. But it's friggin 400$!
While I'm not planning on getting a PS5 anytime soon, I might consider getting the controller and headset for my pc seperately
Both of them look great
They was sold out when I did my pre order so hopefully I can get my hands on some soon
"Sony advertises 12 hours, but anecdotally, it lasts between 9 and 10 hours"
lmao 🤣
Its one of the worst battery I have ever seen for full size headphones at leastthe worst in the last 5 years
I'm honestly disappointed you can only get 3D audio through these headphones at launch. I had a whole Dolby Atmos setup ready for the PS5, but I'm gonna have to wait a little longer.
