PlayStation’s PULSE Elite Headset Is Built for Lifelike Gaming Audio

In its pursuit of heightened immersion in gaming experiences, PlayStation is directing its efforts towards enhancing audio engagement.

To kickstart this endeavor, the company has developed the PULSE Elite wireless headset, a device tailored for the realm of “next-generation” gaming audio.

Setting the PULSE Elite apart from its counterparts, PlayStation opted for planar magnetic drivers, akin to those employed in professional recording studios.

While the utilization of magnetic drivers in headphones is not unprecedented, PlayStation asserts that when paired with the headset’s 3D audio configuration—where sounds emanate from various directions—the resultant audio closely mirrors developers’ original intentions.

For individuals engaged in multiplayer gaming, the PULSE Elite boasts an integrated, adaptable boom mic, retractable into the headset when not in use.

Additionally, it incorporates AI-driven noise cancellation technology, enhancing the clarity of in-game audio and communication amidst chatter from other players.

Naturally, the headset boasts Bluetooth compatibility and dual connectivity capabilities. This feature permits users to simultaneously link to the console and an auxiliary speaker, facilitating the reception of phone calls or other notifications while gaming.

Regarding battery longevity, the PULSE Elite offers 30 hours of operation on a full charge and can garner 2 hours of charge within a mere ten minutes when connected to its charging dock.

PlayStation’s PULSE Elite wireless headset is slated for release on February 21, available for pre-order at $149 USD.
