Design
PlayStation 5 PULSE 3D wireless headset has the sleek aesthetics of the PS5 with a two-toned colour scheme. This headset looks very sleek and stylish. Its design is similar to the previous model, but there have been some changes made here too.
There is no need to worry if you don’t want to change its look because it doesn’t come with any kind of stickers. It has an adjustable strap at the top that lets you fit it perfectly on your head, and it houses mid-sized 40mm drivers.
The leatherette material used for the earcups feels soft and is comfortable for use over an extended period of time. On the outer left earcup, you will find the headset controls which includes; a microphone monitor toggle, an audio rocker for game and chats, a mute button, volume buttons and the power switch. It also has a 3.5mm headphone jack and a USB-C port. This headphone set weighs 295g and measures 18 x 22 x 8.5cm.
Performance and Battery life
This wireless gaming headset delivers excellent game audio quality. Even though the bass sounds slightly better than the treble. This headset is easy to set up.
All you need to do is to connect the included 2.4GHz USB dongle into the USB port on the PS5, and the console automatically connects to it, and you start to hear all the audio from your headphone and not the TV speaker. You can also connect this headset to your laptop.
The stereo sound quality you get from the pulse 3D wireless headset is pretty impressive with stimulated surrounding sound, and its compatibility with the new Tempest 3D AudioTech makes it a must-have for all PS5 console owners.
This technology gives compatible games such as Astro’s Playroom and Marvel’s Spider-Man Miles Morales real immersive sounds. However, it doesn’t sound as immersive as Dolby Atmos because the nature of the 3D sound is limited.
The PS5 Pulse 3D Wireless Headset should provide you with 12hours of battery life on a single charge, according to Sony, which is about 3hours less than what the likes of Turtle Beach have to offer. It charges fast with the USB-C charging port.

Buying Guide
The Sony PS5 PULSE 3D Wireless Headset is a good gaming headset and an improvement over the PS Gold wireless headset but when compared to some other gaming headsets, it’s just not good enough. The pulse 3D headset design is not the kind you can wear in public, so if you want a headset you can use anywhere, the PlayStation 5 PULSE 3D Wireless Headset is not it.
How much is the PlayStation 5 PULSE 3D Wireless Headset?
The PlayStation 5 pulse 3d wireless headset is a product of Sony manufactured in 2020, and it costs $99 / £89.99.
Is the PlayStation 5 PULSE 3D Wireless Headset worth buying?
The PS5 PULSE 3D Wireless Headset is not a perfect headset with the low build quality and 3D effect that could be better with some tuning, but it is a solid headset that I’d recommend you pick up when shopping for a headset to go with your console.
Conclusion
The Pulse 3D Wireless Headset is a solid wireless headset sold at an affordable price. It is easy to set up, has a good mic and offers decent stereo sound along with Sony’s Tempest 3D AudioTech.
It might not be the best in terms of sound clarity and battery life but it still comes out with a performance good enough for most gamers. Are you thinking of buying a new headset for your PS5 with which you can chat online? Do you want to experience the Tempest 3D AudioTech sound? This is the headset to buy.
