Sony PULSE Elite Wireless Gaming Headset

Wireless Gaming Headset

Next-Gen Sound & Precision for PlayStation 5

The PULSE Elite Wireless Headset by Sony creates an immersive audio experience designed especially for PS5 gamers. It’s equipped with planar magnetic drivers, a specialty feature usually seen in high-end audio gear, to deliver rich, accurate sound, deep bass, and low distortion across the entire audible spectrum. Whether you’re crouched in stealth, charging into combat, or exploring enormous open worlds, the clarity and soundstage let you hear every detail exactly as the game developers intended.

Ultra-Fast Wireless with PlayStation Link

One of the standout features is PlayStation Link wireless technology. It offers lossless, ultra-low latency connection, which means your audio syncs tightly with what’s happening on screen—critical for competitive and immersive gaming. The headset includes the PS Link USB dongle to connect to your PS5, and you can also use it with PC, Mac, or the PS Portal remote player.

Long Battery, Quick Charging & Convenient Storage

With up to 30 hours of battery life per full charge, you can game through long sessions without constant breaks. If you do run low, a quick 10-minute charge gives around 2 hours of gameplay. Plus, the headset includes a stylish charging hanger so you can display it neatly and have it charging and ready whenever you need it.

Mic, Controls & Comfort

The PULSE Elite features a retractable boom microphone that captures your voice clearly and retracts into the headset when not needed, keeping the profile clean. On-ear and on-arm controls allow you to mute the mic, adjust volume, and manage power or connections without taking your eyes off the game. Plush ear cups and a suspension headband provide comfort for longer play sessions.

Multi-Device Use & Connectivity

Beyond PS5, this headset supports Bluetooth for mobile device connections, so you can switch to phone calls or music when needed. It also allows dual-device connectivity, so you could be gaming and still hear notifications or audio from a phone. Wired options (via 3.5 mm jack) are also present for devices or situations where wireless isn’t ideal.

Design & User Experience

Sony designed the PULSE Elite with both style and utility in mind. It matches the PS5 aesthetic—white and black design with clean lines. The headset is somewhat bulky, but the build is solid. The ear cushions are plush, and though the overall weight is noticeable (~340-347g in reviews), many users report the comfort is acceptable especially when adjusted properly. The included charging hanger also helps reduce clutter while keeping things looking neat.

What to Know / Considerations

The headset is on the bulkier side; may feel heavier over long periods (≈ 340-350 g). Comfort depends on head size and fit.

Official noise isolation/active noise cancelling is limited: it’s more about passive isolation. Ambient noise in loud environments may still get through.
