PlayStation Pulse Explore Wireless Earbuds - Midnight Black

Sound quality is ok. I found the the buds to be a bit of a weird fit. On wf-1000xm5s for example, I would use medium size buds, but for this i’m using the smallest size. It blocks out sound very well when the buds are in, so be mindful of your surroundings if you are using for regular music or listening especially of you will be outdoors. The bluetooth range is good for other devices (e.g your mobile phone) but the connection to the ps5 has rather short range. Not a problem if you have nothing between you or the ps5 but not great if you are on party chat and need to head out of the room to grab something. That said you can keep party chat on the psapp of your phone via bluetooth if you prefer. Found battery life to be short once they are out of the case, even if you aren’t playing anything they seem to drain. They do charge fairly fast though so i’m not too bothered. I use them for both gaming and listening while in transit. I use overhead headphones at home mostly. I bought these to replace the pulse elites which have a design flaw that causes them to snap from regular use. If you’re trying to make a decision between those amd these, I suggest you avoid the pulse elites. Do some research and you will find lots of complaints showing those breaking in the same place for people when they simply put it on their heads. The mic is good, but in my experience you need to have the pointy bits(wings) facing forward for people to hear you well. Otherwise people will find it tinny or say you sound far away. The wings are actually meant to point diagonally upwards (apparently - youtube) not forwards but I just adjust it when i’m in party chat. They are ok, not mind blowing in my opinion. I like that i can use it for my Switch 2, PS Portal, Mobile Phone, and PS5. Especially that i can connect it to any device via bluetooth and my PS5 and PS portal at the same time. It remembers your paired bluetooth device but will connect with the last one it paired with. To avoid having to bring out the case everytime i want to switch device, I just turn off the bluetooth on the device i’m no longer using at it will auto switch to the other one when you select it from that device. e.g I turn if bluetooth on my phone and select the buds from my switch. The most annoying bit is the case. It is really big, doesn’t fit well in pockets etc. While the presentation is nice and sleek and it holds a good bit of battery, i wish it had a smaller profile. Only plus is that it is much harder to lose (unlike my WF-1000XM5s 🥲 RIP). The soft magnetic cover on the outside case looks good at first but picks up dirt and grime. It does its job of protecting the actual charging case so , it’s all good in the end.

Wery usefull Sound is quality to ps5 I liket

I had some Amazon gift card credits on my account and was getting myself a 45th bday present for myself and I'm glad I found these! I've been using a Sony Gold 2 headset for a long time and really like them but these are unparalleled in sound quality and I can also have these linked to the PS5 and at the same time have music playing on my phone bluetooth connected to the ear buds as well and I can listen to my music, take a call, get notifications from my phone while I play a video game. That's pretty sweet if you ask me! The case is a charging dock so you can charge the ear buds in the case and the ear buds get charged fully and the case gets charged fully then when you put the earbuds back in the case the case will charge the earbuds back up a number of times before you need to recharge everything all over again. The ear buds are very ergonomic and fit my ears well, the sound is great and there's a lot of sound deadening to them which I was surprised about when my wife told me she had called my name and I didn't hear it at all. I went into the sound setup on the PS5 and adjusted sounds and the equalizer and man these things are so clean and have such good highs, mids and low bass sound. They're not cheap, but seem to be a great addition to PS5 tech that make the experience that much better.

The noise cancellation works well on these in a louder environment I appreciate that to hear details in games. After a while there is some ear fatigue when wearing these but that tends to happen with any headset. They are a little on the bulky side. They fit well in my ear but as other reviewers mentioned you almost have to rotate them to get them to stay in your ear. The case is rather large and i have a harder then i should time getting the buds back into the case. Overall i am happy with the purchase.

Playing 2k with these are amazing once you get the fit right! Any game where you don't really need to hear the game and just want to talk to you squad without having heavy headphones or both ears blocked ..This is the solution!! Like having an airpod in but finding the right fit with the changeable ear tips can be tough.
