Hey everyone, my name is Octorious and in this PS5 accessory showcase video, I walk you through the new Pulse Elite wireless headset's features & settings, as well as give you my impressions after a week of use. This should be a more fun & informative way to learn about the headset than just reading the Pulse Elite headset instructions! If you are asking yourself "is the Pulse Elite headset worth it?", then this video will answer that, and will also explore whether you should upgrade from the Pulse 3D headset, as there are several sections covering the Pulse 3D vs Pulse Elite headset debate. I explore sound quality, microphone quality, comfort, connectivity and more, so I hope you find this video and my impressions of PlayStation's new PS5 headset useful.

Picking up my Pulse Elite after work today, im incredibly excited to get to get it

[solopautb]

Wow, someone was mentioning that your video was the best but... Now that I have seen 7 videos before yours I can only say, NICE JOB! It is really complete and descriptive, speaking about the pros and cons, describing how it works, really nice information when you are looking for in deep opinion of this product. Also, appretiated that you didn't destroyed the box like others I have seen....

[PeterDB]

Completely agree about hearing sounds that I'm sure I haven't heard before - I experienced the same with these headphones, I played Destiny 2 on PC and even without adjusting any settings, the sound was so crisp (typically I have low treble, high bass setup, so the crispness was new to me) and I could hear little details in the music, the rockets/ships, the gunshots, the sword swings, everything - it's like there was a whole range of sound that was muted for me before.

I just got mine today in the mail. Big upgrade from the ps4 gold headset I've been using for many years.

[EmperorRosko]

Good video, glad you mentioned sidetone, though no reviewer so far has mentioned if it’s actually usable. Many headsets implement sidetone, yet as soon as game audio starts, it’s so low, it’s pointless even being there.

The Steelseries 7P or Nova 7P have had the best sidetone so far, giving me my voice at the same level as the game so I’m never drowned out.

[jesuscervantesj]

I pick mine on the 1st of March and I will be honest with you my make quality really improved. Most of my viewers on Twitch notice how much better quality and Clarity in my voice. When I extend the mic out even playing World of Tanks feels different in my honest opinion. You can listen to sounds much better and in a wider stage listening to the splatter of water listening to fence breaking apart while you run over it in a tank and just the fact that you run over mud or make gravel fly as you're driving the tank. It sounds so realistic and amazing. These are a game changer and for $149 with planner magnetic drivers the aggressive futuristic beautiful design they offer and the fact that they are amazing. It's a steal. I love them.

[dcollie]

Went on copped these jawns this weekend, now bring on Stellar Blade, I love the immersion with the dual sense, and the planar magnetic drivers from the pulse elites 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[JSC_G]

I’m excited. I’ve had the Turtlebeach Stealth Pros but they are so heavy on my head. I’m making the switch to these! Preordered from Amazon but they aren’t arriving till March 10th!

[mrclflrs]

This has been the most COMPLETE review I've seen of this headset as of yet! Thanks for showcasing how it connects with a laptop or device with a USB-C port via the PS Link thingy. That aspect of the headphones had been intriguing me and it wasn't being shown as clearly as in this video in other reviews. You've totally gained a sub!

[tbecket]

Your vid on the pulse explore was the best amongst many that led to me subbing and this follows through as well.

I’m a stickler with comfort and worry these may feel too tight or pinchy at the ears and/or hot and may end up getting the explore.

[sjonwallace]

I cant wait. I ordered from ps direct and they will be here tomorrow. Im ready to see how big s difference it is from my steel series.

[IntentionalTech]

Awesome video. I remember seeing you on the VidIQ Discord a few years ago and you’ve come an incredibly long way in terms of your coverage and production. Inspiration to me to keep improving. Getting these headphones tomorrow but almost wondering if it’s worth reviewing them after watching this 😂

[EyeForKnowledge.]

Got mine today. Very uncomfortable with PSVR2. Going to mess with them a little more to try and fine tune them. But so far I’m not impressed. Putting them under the VR, you can’t really bring the back side of the VR’s head band down to the proper spot to lock it in for one. For two, the VR pushes the cups into your ears making g them very uncomfortable after about 30 minutes. Over the VR headset and there’s a big gap where sound leaks out. Without the VR on, the weight is all in the cups and not enough tightness on the headband so they slide down. And if you tilt your head, they move around a lot. So there will be a lot of adjustments while in game. In 4 hours of use, I’ve had them drop connection 6 times and I’ve reset the adapter twice. I’m not impressed. Giving them another day or two because I really love the sound and want to keep them. But if I can’t get them where they work and are comfortable, they’ll be going back.

[Scubasgamecorner]

Ordered my set will be here tomorrow 🤘🤘

[lambo]

Loving this headset but my one criticism which also effected the older Pulse headset is the ear height calibration tool for the 3D sound. I can't tell the difference between a couple of the settings to find that sweet spot unless I play an actual game. I know it's not really a fault with either headset but more the software running on the console.

[frhorn]

I copped a pair of these myself!! They are overall incredible headsets. The only thing that im trying to figure out is why the headset will randomly disconnect. Bit of a set back when I'm in the mix of a game. Perhaps this is a bug and an update can easily fix this issue! Great video!

[Joebear]

I might be late to the party but im getting mine on my birthday and im upgrading from a turtlebeach recon

[d_jerg]

I give mine a 9/10. My only complaint is it can get kind of spicy after several hours. I hope they come out with different fabric replacement cups in the future. But easily the best headset I’ve ever owned

[wipeable_toga]

I put it on Bluetooth mode than after it couldn't connect to the ps5 and still blinking blue what do I do
