Sony PULSE 3D Wireless Gaming Headset

The Pulse 3D is Sony's take on a PS5 wireless gaming headset. It sports a stylish design and satisfying audio, but it eschews a quality boom microphone in favor of a pinhole mic.

  Strong sound, with good bass, Works with PS5, PS4, PC, and Mac, Stylish design

  Pinhole microphone doesn't sound as good as a boom mic, Slightly weak in the higher frequencies, Uncomfortable fit for people with large ears

The Sony Pulse 3D Wireless Headset is a straightforward gaming headset for the company's next generation console. It works well on PlayStation 5—not necessarily better than any other compatible headset—and not very well on other platforms. At least it matches the console's color scheme.

  Stylish, Lightweight, Good sound

• -

  Uncomfortable for big heads and ears, Poor isolation, Bad microphone

The Sony PULSE 3D Headset is adequate for wireless gaming. Using its wireless USB receiver, it transmits audio without too much disruptive audio latency on PCs and PlayStation consoles.
