i never felt the vise-like grip like i did with the pulse 3ds, and they stayed affixed nicely to my head throughout. really comfortable to wear with zero issues after 3 or 4 hours of continued wear. the earcups swivel and have removable pads, and the headset is adjustable via a nice velcro band. It was pretty clear from the start that these are of higher build quality than the pulse 3d. i think sony says 40ft, but in my house they disconnect after 20 or so ft sony says these provide 12 hours of usage, and by my rough math that's pretty much exactly what i got as well.
you also get an on screen battery indicator, which is a nice touch. when you turn them off, the ps5 switches back to tv/av/sb audio. when you turn them on, the ps5 switches to headphone audio. they integrate quite well with the ps5 as well (outside of the ridiculous mute button issue). rich, full sound stage with nice deep base that was clearly tuned to the system. out of the box they sound louder, clearer and just better than the arctis 7p/x. if this is your only concern, at $99 i think you'd be hard pressed to find better sounding headphones. weird and annoying.Īs for sound quality, the pulse 3d sounds great. to mute them, you must physically find and use the mic button on the headset, as the mic mute button on the dualsense controller doesn't work with this headset. i was told i sounded "distant" and like i was speaking from within a box or tin can. the dual embedded mics work ok and are of decent quality, but they're definitely not what i would consider "good". one of the dual mics is right next to the power switch, which meant that 95% of the time i was getting a loud earful of mic-fondling when i was trying to power them off. after a solid week of using them i was still fumbling around regularly to adjust volume, hit the mute button (more on this in a sec) or to power them off via the hard switch. idk who came up with the bright idea to cram every control for the headset on the left side, but it was a stupid design choice. ymmv obviously, but wearing the pulse 3d headset is not what i would ever call pleasurable. after an hour or so you really start to feel them squeezing your head. after the magic 2 minute mark i was able to get used to them and proceed with the gaming, but they were never actually comfortable to wear. the fake leather earcups and vice-like grip on my head (especially when i was wearing glasses) were EXTREMELY uncomfortable. for the first 2 minutes of every gaming session, i wanted to rip these things off of my ears out of sheer agony.
it's plastic throughout with very little adjustability if you need that sort of thing (i didn't). Why was the original post deleted? repostingĪfter spending 2 weeks with both the sony pulse 3d headset and the steelseries arctis 7x/p (i personally have the x) on the PS5, i thought i'd share a mini-review of sorts to hopefully help others who are on the fence as to which one to buy.īuild quality seems ok.
