- A review of the new official Midnight Black Pulse 3D wireless headset for the PlayStation 5. We’ve already seen the Midnight Black controller for the PS5, so this new headset compliments that. But just how good is it and is it the best PS5 headset?
This isn’t just an unboxing, we’ll look at how good the Pulse 3D headphones are, including mic tests, EQ settings, comfort, sound and overall design. This is my Pulse 3D PS5 Headset review! #PlayStation5 #PS5 #Review

What other official Sony accessories do you want to see next? Black plates?
Defiantly black plates from sony.. nearly bought the D Brand then all the shenanigans began and they removed them. Don’t like the new design with the fan cut out
Ordered the latest Dark Plates 2.0. I’m eagerly waiting in anticipation.
@@davidrogers5443 i am kinda skeptical about the cutout as well. Might make for an interesting look with just one plate on lol
I definitely want to see that cosmic red pulse which I think it’ll happen since they chose that color for a controller
They have 2 use a crappy dongle even Nintendo supports bluetooth
This is a great video with all the details I wanted to know. The mic comparison was great and informative
Thanks for the video. It was well made, informative and good to demonstrate the product. Also nice to hear alternatives you use.
I just picked up the newer camo colorway to match my controller. Dope as hell, really dig the sound. Glad I checked this video though, I didn't know that you could adjust the EQ prior to this. Playing Dead Space really sounds better with these than my 9.1 surround sound system.
I don't even have PS5 yet and am watching your quality videos lol, well am getting my self ready for one next year. Keep up the good work spawn 🙌🏼.
That's awesome, thanks for the support!
Me2😭😭
Same😭
I got mine last December lol just bought this headset too hopefully it’s good
Same I've been trying ecer since it dropped, I swear it's like the stock is like the where's wally book 😖🤣💀
Great review, I stayed till the end :) I really wanted to hear your thoughts on the 3D audio. Is it worth it for wireless 3D audio? I have the Gold headset from PS4 days. I'm tired of having to use the wire to access 3D audio. Sony need to make it accessible to all headsets without the wire.
Always find your videos very informative. I just got the midnight black headphones and this will be very helpful in setting them up.
I've been watching more and more of your videos man. Really chill and informational channel. Keep up the killer work!
Thank you mate.
The dualsense mic was a nice surprise actually, it was a lot better than expected.
Sounds good here but if you are using tv audio the game audio will replay through the mic and echo for players your playing with
Thats common sense bro@@drewthompson7540
@@drewthompson7540couldn’t you just mute your tv ?
I finally got hold of a PS5 last week and absolutely blown away with the graphics so far. My wife has just treated me to the 3D Pulse headset and can’t wait for it to arrive. Great video and just subbed.
That’s awesome! Enjoy the PS5 !
@@SpawnPoiint Will do. Thanks. Currently playing Horizon Forbidden West and there’s a snake boss that spits acid and finding it impossible to kill at the minute. Not got the patience that I had as a kid haha
How’s the headset? Does it hurt after wearing it for a while or is it comfortable.
@@leemason666 were the pulse headset any good, over like a typical Astro headset?
Awesome video explaining the Pulse 3D Headset. I just got my PS5 last week. I am most likely going to get myself a pair. Do you know if you can use more than one pair at the same time? One wired and one wireless?
PS5 Headset! I bought mine a couple of months after the console, and still use it almost daily. The quality is holding up well, and the cups haven't started cracking yet. With the EQ software addition, it's really an amazing and worthwhile set. Nice video, the black does look amazing aswell, especially seeing the video you made about the Black and Red Console Covers
You ever listen to Spotify with them since it’s on ps5?? Any good??!
Pls hows the sound volume? Is it very loud. Cus the old ones in ps4 were not loud enough
@@chibuzor4960 did u get the answer? Is it loud enough to experience while playing games
I've just bought a set in black on the strength of your review, and I'm very pleased with them. Great review thank you.
Great video as always.Your setup looks so clean.I love it.Keep up the good work
Cheers mate!
Your an amazing UA-camr I am waiting for my ps5 trying to get one keep up the hard work
Thanks man planning on buying this tomorrow
The mic on the Pulse 3D seems to work better in small rooms. I've noticed that on different test videos the sound quality was vastly different and wondered why, but then I noticed that most of the ones where the sound was good were recorded in small game rooms with a lot of clutter/stuff on the walls, furniture and so on. The mic/s really pick up tons of reverberation and general background noize from the room. The accustics of the room seem to be what is giving the tincan effect in some videos. It's a bit odd as I though it had a noise cancelling mic.
Have you tried to lower and rise the volum level of the mic on the ps5 menu? Does it help?
or maybe don't use the mic altogether and use the mic on the dualsense instead? i think the mic on dualsense is even better than the mic on the pulse 3d
@@bufosp Then what would be the point in having a headset?
I mean yeah there's still going to be situations it makes sense but the mic is half the basic function of it.
@@lordsofkobol7385 at least you'll get the sound quality from the headphone that are designed to maximize the 3d effect of Sony ps5?
@@bufosp agreed
this is a great video. straight to the point and the mic testing is nice.
I think your voice sounded great with the wireless test. The way you described it beforehand, I was expecting you to sound distant and muffled but it didn't sound bad (to me) at all.
Thank you for sharing this. Im planning to get a pair. I recently got my PS5. I watched your reviews
For $99, the Pulse 3D are a superb set of wireless headphones with full support for 3D audio (all will support PS 3D audio when wired to controller, not so many do the same wirelessly). The one drawback, lack of punch, was addressed with the software update adding the EQ, and that really opened them up.
FWIW: Despite demonstrating the mic performance as a negative in comparison to your standard headset, I actially thought the Pulse sounded better.
Great review as always 👏🏻. I have the white version headset and I am really happy with the comfort and sound. The dongle is a let down but I plug mine at the back of the console so it’s not visible.
You're right, plugging them into the back makes more sense if they are always being used. Thank you too.
Plugging it in the back may cause overheating issues unless you use an extension cable to move it away from the fans.
@Silver Fox Check out the video "What every Ps5 user should know about before it's too late" by John Glasscock.
@Silver Fox I have the Sony platinum headset and it too has a USB dongle that gets incredibly hot. I was considering upgrading to the 3d pulse before I found out it uses a USB dongle too.
Maybe because when you use the transmitter on the back USB ports, the PS5 is exhausting all of its hot air right onto the transmitter, causing it to overheat. That guys knows what he is talking about. Get a USB extension cable if you want to use the transmitter on the back USB ports.
I play the Series X but I’m constantly watching everything you post. Doesn’t matter if it’s PS5. The videos are so clean!
Nice man. You are so lucky to these things. I don't have a PS5, but your videos are really awesome
Thanks for watching too!
Good Review mate... You hit it out of the park with this one...
Thank you!
PS5 Headset 🎧
I actually needed a headset so I just ordered mine in midnight black; pretty excited to get my hands on them and test out the EQ feature!
Oh nice one mate
thank you for this review
Great review as always. Cheers
I was very surprised how loud and how good they really are with the EQ settings so don't be put off by buying them there are decent pair of headphones and it good for the price
I've watched like every review on UA-cam because i'm planning to buy the headset..
your review is by far the best one I've seen❤️
Have you bought it? How’s the sound quality so far? Is it loud enough?
Your set up man🔥 Excellenté
Thank you mate.
Nice and sharp review, mate!
Just one question: ¿How do this headphones compare to the Steelseries Arctis 7p/7p+ in terms of audio quality?
I'm trying to decide between this two and sound quality is a top tier issue for me (I'm still using the Gold Wireless for PS4. Is there any major upgrade over this model?)
Thanks!
Thank you mate. In my opinion, the SteelSeries 7Ps are still better. I will stick with those for my gaming sessions for sure. Hope that helps.
@@SpawnPoiint thanks mate!
**He takes out his credit card... Again...**
🤣
@@SpawnPoiint Do you still have to manually switch output audio in PS5 settings each time you're using or stop using the SteelSeries 7P or it has been fixed and it's now automatically, like Pulse 3D?
I picked up the Arctis 7P+ from the Steelseries website. Basically the same but it now has USB-C charging and a slightly longer 30 hour battery compared to the original 7P
No way. I didn’t know this existed. Thanks for the heads up.
I didn't know it existed either. I have the regular 7p. Good to know it's great for someone looking for headset but not necessary for me to upgrade.
how do u like them bro? deciding between those and the pulse 3ds
Quality video! Wish that I could have both consoles too. Love the channel great videos! 👍🏻
Thank you 🙏
Fantastic review
Sounds to me like the 7P’s have some kind of low cut / high frequency boost EQ built into the mic. Human voice sits in these higher frequency registers which could help with speech clarity especially with high whiny voices. The pulse mic sounds to be more full range as far as the frequency’s it is picking up. The full range mic should be more accurate for all voice types, Where the 7P’s may be better for those with high voices. Some mics have baked in EQ for certain voice types. Both sounded fine to me.
Great review as always . I have the white version headset and I am really happy with the comfort and sound. The dongle is a let down but I plug mine at the back of the console so it’s not visible.
Omg i didn't know you could plug it in the back. Now I can charge my controllers lol
thanks this helped out a lot bbg
Your reviews are great not sure if to get this headset or the Steel Series Arctic’s 7P+ not to bothered about the Mic on either and I don’t have a PC Or Laptop to adjust the settings on them but I like the idea you can now adjust the equaliser on these direct from the PS5
I own these and they are pretty good, I agree with most of the comments but would like to add one of my own, for gamers over 50 yrs the small buttons and writing are too small, I normally play with lights down low so can’t see these buttons well at all thank goodness the adjustment is shown on the screen(I used these on the PS4 for a while,which meant switching lights on and grabbing reading glasses to adjust)
How long has it lasted you?
@@Dbbetter still going strong over a year now no issues whatsoever looks and performs good as new !!
@@RAFsputin How long is the battery life on these? Can I use them for pc also?
@@alb.4089 they state 12 hours but I’d say longer if you’ve not not it very loud all the time and yes it works with the Pc and PS4
@@RAFsputin hows the sound is it louder then ps4 headset
PS5 Headsets - Have been running the Pulse 3D for about 2 weeks with mixed results. Initially there was a big echo that I, as well as other party members, could hear constantly. It seemed to work for a bit, but now it's a 50/50 as to whether or not I'll be able to hear the other party members clearly or if there will be a lot of dub stepping (possibly ISP related). I do really enjoy the wireless feature though, and can't for the life of me understand why Sony don't build the Bluetooth adapter into the unit... I mean a dongle? In 2022?
Maybe to expand upon who can use it, I know my PC and PS4 require a dongle. Not positive though!
I believe it the latency of Bluetooth so the dongle it connects with has a lower latency than normal wireless headphones
Am getting one black and i have enjoyed this review.
Thank you for this video. Thinking of getting one, can this be paired with other gadgets like phones? Or is it console exclusive? Thank you
You dont even need that to get 3-D Audio, you can also use the Rig 500 that has Dolby Atmos
This should be called something else. The real OG pulse vibrate. They even had a slider on the side of the earcups to adjust strength of vibration from explosions etc. To this day they still work and I use them on the PS3 with the PS3 3D TV and the 3D glasses still work. Great video
Sounds like a name for a dildo brand 😂
I received this headset as a birthday gift anc it sounds amazing
Got mine in black 2 days ago they're GREAT
out of the video : what do you think if sony makes bundle includes psnow and ps plus for 15$ a month would it be compared with gamepass?+ nice vid as always
Yes, that would be awesome!
... That would be amazing tbh lmao there's only 1 game on psnow that I like so to me psnow alone it's just not worth it lol
If Sony were to add their first party games day one on PSnow it would be a game changer and probably get more people to subscribe
They should've kept the mute light off when it is muted on the controller.... Not the other way...
Confused how many likes this has because this seems like backwards logic.
Great review love the content on your channel
Thank you 🙏
Been watching a lot of your videos lately but this is the first to come out while I've been subscribed! I found these headphones quite uncomfortable on my ears when I first got them last year, but its not something I notice so much these days. Maybe I've just got used to it or they've warped a little to fit me better
Thanks for watching mate! I agree, as mentioned I think the foam is quite firm but will definitely get softer over time.
I’m so excited I ordered a PS5 and pulse 3d headset yesterday off Amazon and it will be here this Friday! I’ve been trying for a whole year. Thanks for the excellent review!!
Seriously bro great review, you explained every question I had and then some, and you didn’t waste any time. Awesome review skills 👏
Awesome mate. Enjoy the new PS5! Thank you too.
How are they? Worth the money?
Good work on getting one before Christmas, how are you finding them?
@@ricochet243 They’re really easy to find on most gaming retail websites.
How’s the headset so far? Is it loud enough?
I have the white version. I really like how seamless they connect to the PS5. The features and updates straight from Sony are another win. Sorry 3rd party products, I don't see a big need in this generation. Just waiting to get that ps5 back button now
Back button?
@@billable1861 back button attachment for the duel sense controller
You mean ‘Circle’ button?
@@SebbzLike the back pedals
My friends in other chats can't hear me,any suggestions?
I love your setup!
Thanks Tarek.
beautiful video thank you ♥
What monitor is that one? LG...? Just on time, I needed this review! Thanks. PS5 Headset
Thank you. Yes it's the LG GP950 (going to do a review about it soon...)
@@SpawnPoiint Please! Waiting for that one!! I've read in some reviews that the color black (dark scenes or scenarios) is not very good. And also if you can share how did you get it would be great as it's a bit difficult to find stock.
The Dongle works in either of the rear USB ports at the back also, you don't need to have it in the front, I personally have it in the back USB port so it's out of the way
you get more range if its in the front, I have noticed with mine.
@@earlsonnewell57 I sit quite close to my ps5 so I've never had any issues tbf
My couch is 9 feet from my tv
How do the Pulse 3D's compare to the Astro A20 Gen 2's now that the Pulse has the adjustable EQ and presets? I know you preferred the A20's before, but that was before they released the EQ settings. Are they comparable now or do you still prefer the A20's?
Hi, nice and thorough video mate, always luv your review, what do you think compared with Platinum Headset? Will the 3D audio sound better and more immersive on the 3D pulse?
Platinum sound better. They have better speakers and the 3D audio is the same. Platinum are more expensive, though.
I just bought the midnight edition headset myself last week ... Definetly a great buy! Totally changes the way I play CoD Vanguard now. And they are actually super comfortable for me.... Totally love em
What is the best eq settings for vanguard?
@@khalilamaz8592 I use custom eq settings for mine. The stock eq presets suck except for bass boost. But that one doesn't work well for CoD though.
@@mistermidas11 what is the mic like? My Astro a50s are dead and going to buy a new headset tomorrow but don’t really want to spend insane amount of money again. Worried the mic may not be that good
@@mistermidas11 What is your custom eq settings for vanguard?
U can now even hear the fear of ur enemies. But is acc worth it for £90?
My concern with these is the mic sound. Multiple games I've been in, the other players say they can barely hear me. With there not being an extended mic that goes in front of your mouth, this has been an issue so far using these. I mainly got them for multiplayer/chat and that's been it's biggest struggle so far. Any thoughts to correct this?
Turn up your mic gain?
Dude okay your using the headphones wrong. Listen to like any of your favorite songs or if you don't have one listen to something like twenty eight by the weeknd, crank the volume all the way to the max and just listen man
How are you not at 1 million subs your videos are so well made
Great review 👌👌👌
PS5 Headset. I really love mine. Use mine mainly for compatibility 3D audio games such as Rachet and Clank. I love that new color tho. Wish I had waited.
Yep, the 3D audio is incredible in games optimised for it mate. Thanks for watching too.
The only downside with this headset is it gets kinda uncomfortable after about a few hours because of pressure especially for those who wear glasses and second, no boom mic in which Sony should think about implementing if they ever decide to create a new headset
Same for me mate so I have revered back to my old Sony gold that for long hours of gaming are the bollox.
Cex if you live in the UK? sell them at about £40.
What’s a boom mic ?
@@user-ye7el2hh5g just a little mic that comes out and sits right in front of your mouth, as opposed to a mic port on the earpiece.
Agree but I'f game supports 3d sound like returnal headset sounds nice
@@HackEliteSPARK I have a razer v2 pro, and that one has 3d support as well
It’s worth noting for aesthetics that you can plug the dongle into the back of the PS5 instead and they still work perfectly
Hey Mate, great review. That headset stand is beautiful. Any idea where I could pick one up?
I recently build a high end gaming PC but I can’t seem to find time to play video games 😢
Alright
Nbdy cares
So make time. Take hours off your work schedule, if you have to.
@@maulerbeam1923 True. Wise words. I've been trying to. I have clinical ADHD and OCD so things take me longer than most people rip

Great PS5 Headset video ;) as always very detailed, appreciate it.. still waiting for mine from Best buy hehe
Thank you!
Fantastic review mate!
Cheers mate!

Thanks for the support as always mate.
from what i see it's a professional Video Well Done 👍
Thank you 🙏
One of the best review about a product i ever see better than more famous people i don t want to mention❤
It'd be nice if the Pulse had Bluetooth to use it wirelessly with a mobile phone or smart TV and I wish they did a charging base/stand for it. I also dont like the buttons on the side as it's hard to tell which button does what while wearing it but it's a decent headset for around £80.
I wonder why they didn’t have bluetooth built in….
Personally, I'm not a fan of this headset, but I do have to say that at 100 dollars, it's an amazing value for what you get and the compatibility.
🤭🤭
@@belgregor 😢😢
Maaaannn, I really love your videos ! Keep up the good job !! One question though, where did you buy/get that wood dock joystick from ? Me and the fellas would really appreciate telling us :D Hello's from Romania !
out of all the headsets i currently own, im still stuck on the Turtlebeach Stealth 700 gen2. the sound is just perfect
It's nice.... but I will stick with my white and black themed pulse 3d. Great video as always!!!
Cheers mate.
One thing that wasn’t talked much about was how incredibly uncomfortable these headphones are after 30 min I felt like my ears were on fire I should have returned them but thought they would loosen up after a while, nope after a year still uncomfortable. I even bought a after market set of ear ups and that didn’t help much , they are just way to tight. The sound quality was great but I’m no expert in that field.
Yea same bro. These headsets are so uncomfortable for me. I bought replacement ear cups which was a pain putting on and it was still so uncomfortable. This is probably my worst purchase ever.
Not to mention the hard ass plastic on the inside
Yous must have big heads 😂😂coz I got mine yesterday morning and been using them for 12hours yesterday and it's comfortable as
@@ftwms515 LMFAOOOOOO
the camouflage ones are my favorite
Where did you get your headset stand from ! It looks so dope!
The most frustrating thing is that Sony is bringing out new products for the PS5 but the actual PS5 console itself is not available or in stock anywhere. Great video though!
‘PS5 Headset 🎧’
Thanks mate! I agree, can you believe it's been nearly a year and stock is still a problem. Incredible!
🤩
Thanks dude
Wow Video+Audio Quality
The faux leather on the ear cushions have started breaking off already. This is incredibly annoying as getting a replacement ear pad is hit or miss (especially in my country) - I've used my headphones sparingly, yet this happened.
However, these are incredible headphones otherwise and perfect for ps5
Ahh I was wondering if that happens cause it happens with many of my other headphones and headsets :/ I’m probably not gonna buy them now as my bose have been pealing after 3 years
This headset sounds great but could sound better. I found the ear muffs to be very uncomfortable for any timeframe exceeding 2 hours and just wasnt a fan of the feel overall. If you have a bigger head i would avoid buying them. I returned mine within the warenty period and went with the steel series pro + gamedac. Waiting on Astro to release A50s for the PS5
I just bought the all black one's. I'm playing Horizon Forbidden West and it sounds absolutely beautiful.
Great vid! 🎧
The difference in mic quality wired vs wireless is massive. Like wired it sounds really good, but wireless sounds absolutely horrible and cheap.
Loved the video could u tell me where you got the headphones stand and joypad stand from please?
Nice review.
Now you can alter the audio presets do you now prefer these to the A20 and Arctis 7p?
I'd say they are on par with the A20s, but the 7Ps are still better sound.
Amazing video man :D
Just got pulse Black… should be here in a day or so! 🎧
I really don't like the pulse 3D but have friends that do.
I'm back with my Sony Gold headphones 🎧, that are still going strong after 7 year ( bar a couple of ear cup changes ) still can't find a headset that beats whese for comfort on a 53 years old head.
Top video as always 👌
Excellent Video!
I'm absolutely in love with the red controllers. ❤️❤️❤️
I went for a black controller instead of the cosmic red as my second controller. I should’ve went straight ahead for it it looks immaculate !
Just bought these for my ps5 👌👌
You’ve made want these! Subbed! PS5 Headset 🎧!
