Bought the pulse elite earlier today, excellent audio quality for the price.
I was using my Elites (just got them yesterday 2/22/24) at my daughters dance class, called my wife during the class with their music/dance routine going on in the background, and my wife didn’t hear a thing on her end of the call.
I’m also accustomed to a lot of bass, and that’s where I was initially disappointed with these Elite’s. I love bass, but after playing Metallica, Sabaton, MxPx and others, I was hearing things that the extra bass was actually drowning out in my other headsets like my Kaira Pro, TB Elite 800’s and TB Stealth 700 Gen 2’s. This headset is not as base heavy as those others, but what lacks on that front it more than makes up for in picking up those mods and highs that others lack.
I’m glad I picked these up, and will probably be retiring my others.
That's good to know, I dont like bass heavy headphones for metal. I listen to a lot of black metal and I find that really needs crisp mids and highs to sound as intended. Sometimes metal can sound like white noise with too much bass or on bad quality phones that blur the ranges.
You have the best coverage of the Pulse Elite with all the videos.
Yes Elite is more comfy for me
I heard it’s heavy
@@A1finesse I don't feel much difference between Pulse and Elite
@@Camouflage3680 I think I’m gonna get the inzone h5 I hate headaches easy and I couldn’t stand the original pulse headset
sound qualitys also way better.. planar,, vs normal drivers.
Can you push the mute button on the controller and it actually mute your mic now? Or is it like the first gen to where you can only hold down mute to mute all audio?
Excelent review, for both, i'm eager to buy the new Pulse Elite, and btw, you got a new subscriber :)
Great review, gonna get my husband the pulse elites for his birthday. And also a set for myself of course
He's a lucky guy. God bless you and happy Easter
probably gonna get one of these for my vr im getting soon, great video!
My Elite headset is coming in on Tuesday, I can’t wait.
great review I will suscribe to the channel! I have the pulse 3D but I think I will wait for a final version of this headset. I also have a Beats Studio Pro Headset, do you recommend it for gaming like COD and Sony's games?
yeah for sure
Great review as always.
But you can mute on the controller and can change game and voice chat through the
console, which is cool 😎
It’s a great headset for the price range. I’m loving it.
Great review thanks. Currently got pulse 3d, would get an elite but the lack of bass seems kinda off-putting to me. Some of the games I play have bass heavy moments.
Update: Ended up going for Audeze Maxwell and increased lower frequencies with eq settings. Really happy with them
I have both and there is more bass than the 3D. There's a better seal so all frequencies sound better overall.
Awesome thank you for helping me with my decision
I've been rocking with the inzone h7 for a little while now so probably not gonna pick these up. I did grab the pulse explore earbuds with the planar drivers and they've been surprisingly nice. Used not just with my portal but console and even used them on pc a couple times. Awesome buds
I chose the Pulse 3d as there have been lots of reports of the Elites loosing connection. Happy with my purchase. Hopefully a software update may fix the Elites if this is the case. Great video man❤
I was feeling down so I came for my dose of positivity. Thanks Techne.
❤
Looking forward to that next comparison video I’m torn between the nova 7’s and the elites 😅
I'm curious about the Nova Pros too. I have the 3d Pulse and a 7P so far.
Is the Pulse Elite worth the money as my Steelseries Arctis 1 battery is going so I'm looking for a new headset
I immediately noticed a huge sound and comfort difference, elite is the best way to go
Loving these while playing The Finals and Helldivers 2
thanks for your content ❤
My first Elites were defective. The left side sounded louder than the right & it kept disconnecting. I exchanged them and now these are great 👍
Hello,
having the pulse 3D and wanting a present for myself, is it worth buying Pulse elite headset or there is something better in €150 price rating?
I use PS5, PC gaming and it is convenient for me to have a 3.5mm input because I have a Soundblaster AE-5 plus card in my PC
If I have the pulse 3d camo already. Is it worth upgrading and buying the elite?
Honestly had me a dual channel audio, bluetooth to my phone for music and party chat audio from the ps5
Great review, can't stand the wobble, pad comfort or design of the pulse elites sadly, and miss that break out box with the Artic Pro wireless but the sound quality for detail and clarity on the pulse elites are probably the best I have heard on any wireless hp yet. Would be great to see a nova/pro vs pulse elites for sound quality.
The customer reviews of the 3D are higher because of the disconnects. Have you found the Elite to disconnect a lot? Do you know if Sony has any plans to fix this if true? I want a good headset for general use but also gaming. I don't need the microphone. Considering this, would you recommend this over the Sennheiser 560S which is often on sale at a similar price? What about the Sennheiser gaming headset? If you have not used the Sennheiser then I understand if you have no way to compare. Thank you for the great video. I appreciate any guidance with these questions and concerns.
Hey techne, can you make a video about good gaming earphones? Thank you so much! 🙂🙂
Mine comes today, so excited for it. Ive been using the astro a10s for like 5 years. Now ill have a throwing headset 😅
I agree with you except the firmware with the Elite has issues and has major connection problems, I already had the Pulse headset and decided to upgrade but found the sound on my first Elite headset kept cutting in and out, returned for a replacement but the 2nd pair kept disconnecting from my PS5, went back to my 3D Pulse....
How do these compare to the Arctis 7P and Nova Pro?!
The elite has side tone options, you just have to go into audio settings on the PS5 and enable it. I've been loving the elite. Also, you can use the mute button on the controller to mute the mics headset.
If you have a DualSense Edge, you can also use the Fn button to change the volume and chat/game balance. Your hands never need to leave the controller!
Oh thanks! That’s amazing that you can finally use the Mute on the controller cause I always never found the mute button on the original Pulse Elite to be “unreliable” as it just would NOT mute sometimes when I clicked it so I would have to repeat trying to mute it.
How do you adjust the sidetone volume?
@@d20207 in the PS5 system headphone settings
@BertoJA876 cheers, while someone responded I watched a video and yeah, it's located at the headphones settings but not at the quick menu. What would be the reason Sony got rid of both the chat mix and sidetone buttons? Wait ✋️, they are trying to reduce costs and earn more and more money.
can i use the pulse elite only with my iphone? just to watch some videos and stuff? or it only works with the console?
Nice video bud.
Do u know if u can buy replacement dongles 4 the Elite ?
no
Great video!
Question for 2 different headsets, hs65 or the arctic nova 1?
Can you make a video going through if it works with Xbox series x and all the features it supports and doesn't support on Xbox? I want to use the headset for both consoles
Thank you for your advice 🙌
I have a question; I'm worried regarding Pulse Ellite’s low frequencies as a glasses-wearing guy. Does bass go down, lose low-end with glass 👓?
Like many people I wear glasses and they are fine. They are not bass heavy though offer more than the old 3Ds. They are very well balanced. If you like LOTS of bass find something else. But for most people these are amazing value.
Thats wild that you were able to twist the Pule 3d like that, my snapped with NO WHERE near that much stretching. Gorilla glue and electric tape saved the day
Wow, its amazing the Elite didnt pick up ANY NOISE. Really cool!
The headsets are very good for sound quality. Only one problem I have with these headsets I have them I’m gonna return them you’re not able to lower your teammate volume down in the game and that’s a big problem you can do it in party chat only these headsets are very good for Fp s games
Unfortunately without having the Chat/Audio mix volume controls built in on the headset you can't change the levels on the fly when playing with randoms. So for example, if I'm in a match on Helldivers 2 (so not in a party with friends) the only way to adjust volume levels is by going into the audio options in that specific game. This is a massive drawback for me as every player you meet has different mic levels and it's handy having that quick easy option to alter. I took my Pulse Elite back and stuck with my Pulse 3Ds. Yes the Sound quality's is better but without this function it's so annoying.
The dual sense edge allows you to change chat/game volume with the FN keys.
Every single tutorial and video and even the ps5 pop up and the pulse elite page on the PlayStation website all talk about Bluetooth, but no matter what i do, or if i do exactly what someone says IT REFUSES to pair to anything, it refuses to even attempt to turn on Bluetooth, then i go to PlayStation support and support tells me there is mo Bluetooth BUT I'M SEEING PEOPLE USE BLUETOOTH WITH IT, so what am I supposed to do? I've spent several hours trying to figure this out and it just doesn't work
I've updated it and everything, but it just doesn't work
Nice gotta get these
Hi. do you know how can I adjust the Chat and game volume balance when Pulse Elite is connected?
Im really interested in gettin this since i have a pulse 3d and the elite is definetely an upgrade. But i ve seen too many negatives comments about constant disconections. I dont know if thats something that sony will eventually fix through an update or rather a hardware revision.
Nos estados unidos a diferença é de 50%, maravilha, por este preço escolheria o Elite. Mas no Brasil... a diferença é de 133% entre o 3D e o Elite. Absurdo!
Thank you so much
Have both and easy decision. Only down side the part that sticks out on the elite does make it harder to lean back on a pillow. Otherwise sound quality is much better for gaming
Oh man 100% I totally forgot to mention that! It drives me crazy!
Yeah noticed that last night, gets kinda annoying but something we'll have to get used to it i guess, least the sound is great and quick EQ options.
Does the mic quality sound good on the Ps5 as shown in the video? If so, I’m going to get this!
My friends asked me to go back to the Pulse 3D...4 different people have told me that the elite mic sounds muffled and distorted.
I wonder how the Elites stack up against the Stealth Pros. That’s what I currently have but they are so heavy on my head. I play mainly FPS games and sound cues and footsteps are key.
How did you get the Elite so quickly? It's gonna be available at 26th April.
Can u compare inzone buds explore buds and elite
Question: I bought the Nova pros based on your recommendation and absolutely love them. How do these elites compare to those and are these worth looking into? I'm very intrigued.
Imaging is better on elites.
3D audio is actually worth using FINALLY.
I have both
@@Bookish1995 compared to the steel series?
3D audio can be used on any headphones because it is a software function, not a hardware one
Strait to the point,like it 👌🏼
Are the elites treble heavy in your opinion? I keep hearing it’s a very sharp treble..
Are they
Confused, they don’t have the mic monitoring button, but they have the function right?
So can I use it without dongle on steam deck or iPhone via Bluetooth ?
Do the elite separate background game sound and chat? Pulse separate chat and game.
Late to the party but that mic test was insane. I just picked up my pulse elite and man it sounds good, feels good, all good. $150 is honestly a steal for how good the mic is and the sound quality. Sounds just as good as my $300 Sennheiser headset.
How do you compare the Pulse Elite to the Astro A50X? Does expensive mean better?
Astros are shit
Just got the elite the sound's great
With the ear cushions being glued, I'm concerned about the longetivity of the ear pads. Is there a way to change them when they do peel?
I'm worried about that too.
@alexmartinezazoz3328 No need to worry anymore. Wicked cushions posted on their twitter that they were able to take off the earpads. They are in fact not glued despite what Sony has told the reviewers. We should expect wicked cushions for these in 4 months
@@MisterKillJoy1 I really appreciate your response, greetings bro.
What eq do you recommend for UA-cam?
Love the sound of the elite pulse and comfort.
But is there no way to toggle game to chat audio? It’s grey when I try to mess with it.
I've the Sony Pulse Elite since yesterday. I noticed two things: 1. When you have the headset on and move your head, the speakers rattle. Is this normal or perhaps transport damage? 2. the bass is much more present on the Sony Pulse 3D. Overall, I'm disappointed with the sound of the Pulse Elite. It has great highs but sounds flat overall and hardly offers any immersion. Maybe I'm picky, but a rich and full sound is important to me. Maybe I chose the wrong device. I am very grateful for recommendations (TB Stealth?) Also for feedback as to whether the rattling when moving the head is normal. thank you very much
are you sure it the actual driver and not them really loose ear cups?
Problem is when I play on my PlayStation portal the link between ps5 and headset breaks up if not in same room
Would the Pulse Elite be an actual upgrade coming from the Nova 7p?
Elite play better, but I don't know how better
Would like to see what EQ settings people are using for these! I’m having trouble making up my mind.
Check out my stand alone vid, I show a nice few
@@TheTechne appreciate the response! I’ve watched it and can see you prefer a higher profile. Some of the highs are a little much for me. Just curious what some of your audience likes and if there’s a happy low-medium recommended. Also don’t want to completely diminish what makes the planar drivers stand out. Thanks for your awesome videos def one of my favorites on the product! ✌🏼
@@kinghoff316 yeah I defiantly prefer more highs. But just use them as a starting point. Also pulling base out with this headset is very hard, common with planar drivers.
Used an arctis nova pro wireless with the dac and all that. Picked these up today tho.
They sound better than a tuned Nova Pro wireless from steel series. Which is a shock. They’re also much more comfortable
Hi, can you do a test with a person talking in your background? As when I am in a party chat they can still hear the background chatter. Not sure if it's only mine or if all elite headsets pick up chatting in the background.
You can adjust the mic sensitivity in games or in the PS settings, you might have yours higher than the average( i believe its the mic threshold)
i don't link the elite does not have volumen change for game to voice. I have both, but pulse 3d are my favorite one to plat NBA2k and use the game chat
Can i turn the noise canceling off? I wanna blast music in cod
Ima compare the pro to this when i can
What do you think the sound quality would be like through bluetooth on the pc? Ive been really wanting a good wireless headset for pc, but coming from wired sennheiser headphones Ive been really having a hard time finding something.
nah man I wouldn't use BT for any gaming or movies, they all will have a slight delay. But most wireless console headsets also work wireless on PC
@@TheTechne Dang, I would love for someone to release an acual audiophile grade wireless headset. Thank you so much for the reply Techne, your the best.
Does the pulse elite work with the PC app for the INZONE headphones. Both Sony products.
Elite is made in PlayStation and Inzone is made in Sony this is big difrence two other company
Does the pulse elite sound better with 3D off? Mainly using for music and gaming
I only game with 3D audio on tbh but use these on the Switch and stereo sounds just fine.
I'm a casual player which one should
What does the side tone supposed to sound like? I have moved the slider all the way from the left to right and do not hear a difference. Shouldn’t I hear my voice in the headset if I have it all the way up? When I’m playing Fortnite, I feel like I can’t hear myself talking so I feel like I am yelling. Isn’t that what side tone is for, to be able to hear yourself in realtime? Can you be in a party chat to use it or do you have to be in the in game chat? I wish I knew what to expect when moving the slider so I know if my headset is broken.
Tbh the sidetone on these is like an afterthought so thats why you are not noticing that much of a difference. The setting is just how loud you want your voice to be heard to yourself.
My Pulse 3D cup pleather wore out and flaked real bad but I was able to replace the cups with new ones. It’s not looking like this is an option with my Elites, bit concerning
how have you replaced them?
@@oppenheimer11 on the pulse 3Ds? They clip off and you can attach new ones and 3rd party ones. I don’t think I can remove the elite cups if they ware though.
I am glad I didn't got Pulse yet shall I go for Elite?
Are they louder than the 3D pulse?
How do the elites fair against the arctic nova7p ?
Best spindnive ever gotten was axpro360x back in the day... Sorry but it's true. Individual drivers. Real sound 360 I loved it. FPS.. They never knew why I was able to turn around last second and let them sleep for 10 seconds 😂
I bought the pulse elite headset because I wanted to get headphones that'd fit well over the PSVR2, and they absolutely met my expectations. Sure, the audio quality isnt nearly as good as my other headset's (arctis pro wireless), but thats to be expected at this price point. The mic is awesome on the elite's. Personally I like the location of the mute button, but I might be in the minority in that aspect. It's something different, and I do like a bit of change every once in a while. And the multi point connectivity is basically a requirement for me, I've always had headsets that can be connected to my phone and my PS5 (and PS4 when I was still playing on it). But yeah, the main thing that made me buy the headset was that it fits well over the PSVR2. Its great! Now I can get even more immersed into GT7 👍
Oh and also, the equaliser is a nice addition. You can make the headset sound a bit better with it if you know what you're doing. There are a few pre-set equalisers, too.
Everybody I know said that this is it does not fit with the VR to
@@chrisb8870 fits well for me at least! far better than my steelseries arctis pro wireless
Those ear cups moving around is especially bothersome when you’re walking around with the elites on your head by the way. It’s been a bit annoying for me always hearing clunk clunk as I walk around
Can we replace the elite version the ear cushion and battery?
Good question 👍🏼
Which is better for COD hearing footsteps?
Did they make the ear cups larger on the elite?
I am searching the same answer.
Always to the point without all the fluff in the middle. Plus an actual answer at the end without watching all the way to the end to be told ‘it’s up to you’ 😂. So when I buy these for myself and donate my 3Ds to my kids will I have to keep swapping the dongle? Or does the elites serve them both cos that would be an annoyance.
I wonder is the pulse elite compatible with the pulse 3-D dongle 🤔
No. New one uses PS Link tech.
thx
Currently, I have the older model of the Razer Blackshark V2 Pros (for pc) and the pulse 3d (for ps5). I want to have one headset for both platforms now. I've been interested in the Maxwell but I don't know if spending $300 would be a good idea for me. I've heard that the Pulse Elite's are really good for multiplayer. I've been watching your reviews and GadgetryTech's and the only thing I've found for the sound is that it doesn't have enough bass. However, for story games, if I eq the Pulse Elite's using the eq settings you showed in your review, would I still get amazing sound to be immersed? What about the bass? Thanks.
Stelseries Nova 7x is for Ps5,Xbox,PC and Switch
how do the elite compare to the arctis7p? Those are the ones I own.
I’m torn between yours and the elites 😅 I love steelseries so I’m kinda leaning towards the 7P’s
@@SpudMonkey815 the 7ps don't really work with the psvr2 so that's why I'm gutted.
@@TheVRResistance Elite sound is betert
Own both and personally 7p is better imo
@@MummerxEl
The thing is, I mostly game on my PSvR2, and the 7ps fit so not snuggly on them..
Earcups are bigger in elite or the same sizes with pulse?
Bigger and more comfy
These are great. Only complaint is the blue light when it's on. I always see it in my peripheral vision and its distracting. Ill prob black it out with sharpie 😂.
Love that you can use the mute button on the controller now. Never worked with Pulse 3D.
Damn they work on turtle beaches lol
@@lorddrifter7296 yeah it was a dumb design. I think it's because it has a physical toggle button that clicked in and out and not an on off button like the new Elites have
Yeah noticed that and the red mic light too, kinda annoying (might put blue tac over it) 😂 but least the audio is excellent, haven't tried the EQ options yet not sure about what's best for slightly more bass.
Honestly it not having the game to chat feature is what ruins it for me if it wasn’t for that I’d upgrade
I want the elite but that game to chat thing is holding me back
Elite vs original has gotta be the most obvious answer. Still gonna watch tho
it's worth paying extra for Elite
@@Camouflage3680 what do you think my point was?
@@Meltdowncloud1 I do not know.
Just had to return my elites as they kept disconnecting and then eventually wouldn't pair again after a reset. But when they did work, the sound was excellent. Im hoping the replacement will be issue free.
My heart dropped when he stretched the headphones
Does anyone know if you can use the dual sense edge controller function to control the game to chat mix?
I did read a comment where someone said u can.
No you can't.. only turn up the Volume down and up. Chat Mix is only when you are in Party Mode
@@danlee3888 thanks which is what I’m asking
