Although I was hesitant at first due to the cost, not that it is high, on the contrary, it is very affordable for everything they claim to offer. Having tried more expensive 3D headphones, I didn't expect much from the Pulse 3D. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Note: I have had them for about a month and use them on a daily basis.

Sound

You immediately notice the difference between the Pulse 3D and regular headphones. Rich sound, full and with decent bass, good frequency range, always considering the money you spend. As for the 3D sound, it really depends on each person's personal perception. Watching a video with 3D sound, the sounds I heard, with my eyes closed, and I could imagine them in the space, others couldn't perceive them in the same way or differently. However, there is a solution for this. In the settings of the PS5, you can go and change the point that the headphones consider as the center. This way, you can adjust the audio experience to your liking.

The microphones, there are two on the headphones, without claiming any awards, are good enough for what they need to do. I didn't encounter any problems and my conversation partners could hear me clearly and without background noise. I tested them on PSN, Discord, Google Meet, and Zoom.

When you wear them and have the volume at normal levels and above, external noises are isolated and the experience becomes cinematic. It's not 100% Dolby Atmos and it depends on the content/game, but at this price, it's satisfactory.

The PS5 provides a plethora of settings to bring the sound to the levels you want, even an equalizer with different sound profiles. Unfortunately, on the PS4, there are only basic settings for headphones.

Comfort

For the first two hours, the headphones are really comfortable. After that, once the ear cushions settle and take their final shape, you may have some issues if you have slightly larger ears. Certain points of the ear may touch the hard grille of the headphones and bother you. This happened to me, while others who tried them didn't have this problem. If you wear glasses, unfortunately, the cushions press against the arms on your skull, but again, it depends on the type of glasses and the user's anatomy. Despite these issues, I use them more than other headphones I've had over time, which is a good sign. Except for the above, in general, you don't even realize you're wearing large headphones, they are lightweight and very comfortable to wear.

There are online replacement cushions, not official ones, with good reviews that are slightly firmer but slightly larger.

Build Quality

Having also purchased the PSVR, which shares several materials with the headphones, I have the following to say. The white plastic will not yellow over time, but the material used for the ear cushions doesn't seem to hold up. From online research I did, it seems they last a maximum of one year, depending on the skin and oils secreted by the skin, so everyone's experience may be different. Fortunately, there are quality replacement options that cost around €15, so there is no issue. Otherwise, the remaining plastic and mechanical parts are initially quite good. I don't expect any problems, and according to other online reviews, the headphones don't show any damage.

Connectivity

The Pulse 3D headphones are not Bluetooth, so they cannot be connected to devices that cannot detect the accompanying USB dongle. They work flawlessly without the need for any user intervention, plug 'n play, on Windows 10 and 11, MacOS, iOS, and Android (with a female USB port adapter), Nintendo Switch (connected to the dock), and PlayStation 4. All operating systems provide 3D sound whenever available. On Windows, you simply need to install the Dolby program from the app store, which has a small cost but is worth it if you play games and watch movies on Windows. Netflix and Apple TV display content with 3D sound, and the Pulse 3D headphones work perfectly.

Note: Although Apple Music provides content with Dolby Surround sound, it is only available on compatible headphones, and the Pulse 3D headphones are not on the list.

Attention: Only the USB dongle is necessary, as there are no replacements available if it breaks or malfunctions, according to what I have read. It is also advisable not to place the dongle at the back of the PS5. Users have reported that due to the heat from the vents, the USB dongle can malfunction over time.

Handling

On the headphones, you will find the power LED, buttons for adjusting the volume, changing the balance between game sounds and voice, microphone mute, monitor toggle (to hear your voice in the headphones), power button, a USB-C port, and a 3.5mm audio output. At first, it may be a bit challenging to learn where the buttons are in order to operate them blindly while wearing the headphones, but after a while, you get used to it, and the movements become automatic.

The battery lasts for several hours, around 12. When it reaches 10%, it emits a characteristic sound. It takes about three and a half hours to charge.

Packaging

The headphones include a USB 3 to USB-C cable for charging, as well as a cable with a 3.5mm audio jack on both ends in case you want to use them as regular headphones. The sound in this case is excellent, but they do not function as 3D headphones.

Closing

Overall, the Pulse 3D headphones are a decent proposition at this price, providing features of very good quality that are usually found in headphones three times the price. Of course, not everything is perfect, such as the quality of some materials, and they do not allow you to listen to Dolby Atmos. However, at this price, you really can't complain. I highly recommend them as entry-level 3D headphones.

After two years of use, the headphones broke from the frame.. heavy on the head especially for those who wear glasses, the cushions wear out, Sony lags behind in this area as well as in controllers with drift... for 83 euros they are not worth it. With the same price you can find better and more durable

    This review is about the colour: Black

    Pretty good headphones but at 150 euros I don't know if they're worth it. Good sound quality, nothing special. No crazy difference in 3D sound compared to other headphones from other companies, average battery, and in terms of comfort I've worn better ones like the g522-g733 which are great. What annoyed me the most is the microphone, which is not going to be good. Purchase with caution.

    This review is about the colour: Black

    After almost 4 months of daily use, I am writing my opinion.
    Initially, the headphones were purchased exclusively for the PS5 console since Sony does not like us to have other headphones.
    I had the Logitech G733 which cost exactly the same, and the sound was unacceptable on the PlayStation.

    As for the headphones, the battery life is satisfactory, the microphone is very good but unfortunately they are a bit uncomfortable. Maximum 2 hours continuously without having to move them or adjust them a bit on your ear. They start to get tiring after about 2 hours and need to be taken off for a while.
    That's why one star less from me

    The headphones have quite good sound but..., the ear pads are not of good build quality and wear out easily on the outside. The headband cannot be adjusted to fit properly on every head... I had to get protectors for the ear pads and the headband so they wouldn't wear out... I paid €99, up to that point I think it's okay...

    Very good sound and the microphone is excellent compared to previous 50€ type headphones I had (on Bluetooth because with the cable it was terrible). As for problems, I had random disconnections from Bluetooth and reconnection could take up to 15 minutes after many attempts. After 4 months, an update came out that fixed the problem. Now, after 15 months, suddenly they don't charge. Fortunately, they are under warranty and I am waiting with Sony. I wouldn't buy them again and next time I will be more careful with Sony. So I wouldn't be left without headphones, I got Razer ones for 70€ with a cable. They turned out to be very good.

    Excellent product, especially if you find it for under 100 euros. Very good sound and microphone quality, even without the extension that most gaming headsets have. Their most important feature is that they come with their own USB dongle, which makes them simply plug and play on PS5 and PC. As soon as you plug in the dongle, they sync within 1 second. The 3.5mm jack for connecting to additional devices is a big plus. It has been incredibly convenient for me because I constantly switch between devices, simply and without any issues, without connections/pairing. The wireless connection between headset and dongle is very fast; I never noticed any delay in sound or speech. Attention, they do NOT connect via Bluetooth! If you want headphones for wireless connection with mobiles/tablets, you will necessarily have to look elsewhere.

    In two years it started having severe disconnections, making it useless as far as Bluetooth connection is concerned. Now we use them with a cable on the headphones and my friends complain that they hear my voice twice. Also, something that is well known, the ear pads got damaged in a year.

    The headphones are quite good and easily connect to the PS5. Four stars due to the price. I consider €100 to be a lot; an ideal price would be €60-70. Also, after an hour of use, they annoy my ears externally. In case of wear in a short period, I will return.

    Sure, if you compare them, there are better headphones. But personally, after a few months of considerable use, I have enjoyed them. Immediate connection with the adapter, and if you're interested in having the entire Sony range, it fits perfectly. Now, for durability, it will show over time. They still hold up just fine.

    I have had them for over a year and they have not shown me any problems at all. The sound is very satisfying, the microphone works perfectly, just sometimes (very rarely) when I connect them to the PC (very rarely) when I press to turn it off, it stays on and I have to double-check. Overall, I am very satisfied, I would buy them again without a second thought.

    Good evening, after 2 months of use, everything is fine in terms of sound. The negatives are the mediocre build quality, but the issue that has arisen for me is uncomfortable intense pain in the ears and possibly migraines. Maybe it's because of the Bluetooth, but regardless, it is unbearable to wear it anymore

    They are very good headphones, the battery is satisfactory, it lasts about 4 hours but it also depends on the intensity with which they are used.
    In the package, apart from the USB that comes to pair them, they also come with a cable to use them wired, which I find very useful and even necessary.
    As a user of the previous PS4 headphones, I believe that these are much better made and more quality. The 90€ that I paid for them are a bit expensive, but if you find them on sale, grab them, they are quite good.

    The sound is very nice, but personally there were moments when I wanted to increase the volume and realized it was maxed out; I would have liked it to have more volume. I have average ears, and the headphones do not cover them but rest on them, so after 2 hours of gaming, my ears started to hurt. In the previous headphones I had, Razer, my ears were inside. The battery life is quite good; with one charge, I get 5 hours of gaming (generally, I don't play more hours continuously, so I don't know if they last longer since I charge them every time). If I were to buy headphones again, I would buy headphones that do not press on my ears. For the same money, there are much better headphones.

    Bought it here a month ago from a well-known store for 88€. Good sound and build quality. The only thing I didn't like is that after prolonged use (about 3 hours), the top of my head hurts, probably from the rubber that the headphones have to stay on the head. Other than that, a very good purchase choice.

    The headphones have excellent crystal clear sound and satisfactory bass. Unfortunately, they do not support 3D Audio on the PS4, but the Surround Sound is just fine. They seem to be decently made and are very comfortable. For those who have a PS4 and want decent headphones, these are just what you need. I don't have an opinion on the PS5.

    Very nice headphones with good build quality, user-friendly and lightweight.. The downside is that they don't fit well in the ears (at least in mine) because the cushion that rests on the ears is not very big. During long gaming sessions (8 hours plus), they don't weigh me down but I constantly readjust them because they don't fit well.

Although I was hesitant at first due to the cost, not that it is high, on the contrary, it is very affordable for everything they claim to offer. Having tried more expensive 3D headphones, I didn't expect much from the Pulse 3D. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Note: I have had them for about a month and use them on a daily basis.

Sound

You immediately notice the difference between the Pulse 3D and regular headphones. Rich sound, full and with decent bass, good frequency range, always considering the money you spend. As for the 3D sound, it really depends on each person's personal perception. Watching a video with 3D sound, the sounds I heard, with my eyes closed, and I could imagine them in the space, others couldn't perceive them in the same way or differently. However, there is a solution for this. In the settings of the PS5, you can go and change the point that the headphones consider as the center. This way, you can adjust the audio experience to your liking.

The microphones, there are two on the headphones, without claiming any awards, are good enough for what they need to do. I didn't encounter any problems and my conversation partners could hear me clearly and without background noise. I tested them on PSN, Discord, Google Meet, and Zoom.

When you wear them and have the volume at normal levels and above, external noises are isolated and the experience becomes cinematic. It's not 100% Dolby Atmos and it depends on the content/game, but at this price, it's satisfactory.

The PS5 provides a plethora of settings to bring the sound to the levels you want, even an equalizer with different sound profiles. Unfortunately, on the PS4, there are only basic settings for headphones.

Comfort

For the first two hours, the headphones are really comfortable. After that, once the ear cushions settle and take their final shape, you may have some issues if you have slightly larger ears. Certain points of the ear may touch the hard grille of the headphones and bother you. This happened to me, while others who tried them didn't have this problem. If you wear glasses, unfortunately, the cushions press against the arms on your skull, but again, it depends on the type of glasses and the user's anatomy. Despite these issues, I use them more than other headphones I've had over time, which is a good sign. Except for the above, in general, you don't even realize you're wearing large headphones, they are lightweight and very comfortable to wear.

There are online replacement cushions, not official ones, with good reviews that are slightly firmer but slightly larger.

Build Quality

Having also purchased the PSVR, which shares several materials with the headphones, I have the following to say. The white plastic will not yellow over time, but the material used for the ear cushions doesn't seem to hold up. From online research I did, it seems they last a maximum of one year, depending on the skin and oils secreted by the skin, so everyone's experience may be different. Fortunately, there are quality replacement options that cost around €15, so there is no issue. Otherwise, the remaining plastic and mechanical parts are initially quite good. I don't expect any problems, and according to other online reviews, the headphones don't show any damage.

Connectivity

The Pulse 3D headphones are not Bluetooth, so they cannot be connected to devices that cannot detect the accompanying USB dongle. They work flawlessly without the need for any user intervention, plug 'n play, on Windows 10 and 11, MacOS, iOS, and Android (with a female USB port adapter), Nintendo Switch (connected to the dock), and PlayStation 4. All operating systems provide 3D sound whenever available. On Windows, you simply need to install the Dolby program from the app store, which has a small cost but is worth it if you play games and watch movies on Windows. Netflix and Apple TV display content with 3D sound, and the Pulse 3D headphones work perfectly.

Note: Although Apple Music provides content with Dolby Surround sound, it is only available on compatible headphones, and the Pulse 3D headphones are not on the list.

Attention: Only the USB dongle is necessary, as there are no replacements available if it breaks or malfunctions, according to what I have read. It is also advisable not to place the dongle at the back of the PS5. Users have reported that due to the heat from the vents, the USB dongle can malfunction over time.

Handling

On the headphones, you will find the power LED, buttons for adjusting the volume, changing the balance between game sounds and voice, microphone mute, monitor toggle (to hear your voice in the headphones), power button, a USB-C port, and a 3.5mm audio output. At first, it may be a bit challenging to learn where the buttons are in order to operate them blindly while wearing the headphones, but after a while, you get used to it, and the movements become automatic.

The battery lasts for several hours, around 12. When it reaches 10%, it emits a characteristic sound. It takes about three and a half hours to charge.

Packaging

The headphones include a USB 3 to USB-C cable for charging, as well as a cable with a 3.5mm audio jack on both ends in case you want to use them as regular headphones. The sound in this case is excellent, but they do not function as 3D headphones.

Closing

Overall, the Pulse 3D headphones are a decent proposition at this price, providing features of very good quality that are usually found in headphones three times the price. Of course, not everything is perfect, such as the quality of some materials, and they do not allow you to listen to Dolby Atmos. However, at this price, you really can't complain. I highly recommend them as entry-level 3D headphones.

After two years of use, the headphones broke from the frame.. heavy on the head especially for those who wear glasses, the cushions wear out, Sony lags behind in this area as well as in controllers with drift... for 83 euros they are not worth it. With the same price you can find better and more durable

    Pretty good headphones but at 150 euros I don't know if they're worth it. Good sound quality, nothing special. No crazy difference in 3D sound compared to other headphones from other companies, average battery, and in terms of comfort I've worn better ones like the g522-g733 which are great. What annoyed me the most is the microphone, which is not going to be good. Purchase with caution.

    This review is about the colour: Black

    After almost 4 months of daily use, I am writing my opinion.
    Initially, the headphones were purchased exclusively for the PS5 console since Sony does not like us to have other headphones.
    I had the Logitech G733 which cost exactly the same, and the sound was unacceptable on the PlayStation.

    As for the headphones, the battery life is satisfactory, the microphone is very good but unfortunately they are a bit uncomfortable. Maximum 2 hours continuously without having to move them or adjust them a bit on your ear. They start to get tiring after about 2 hours and need to be taken off for a while.
    That's why one star less from me

    The headphones have quite good sound but..., the ear pads are not of good build quality and wear out easily on the outside. The headband cannot be adjusted to fit properly on every head... I had to get protectors for the ear pads and the headband so they wouldn't wear out... I paid €99, up to that point I think it's okay...

    Very good sound and the microphone is excellent compared to previous 50€ type headphones I had (on Bluetooth because with the cable it was terrible). As for problems, I had random disconnections from Bluetooth and reconnection could take up to 15 minutes after many attempts. After 4 months, an update came out that fixed the problem. Now, after 15 months, suddenly they don't charge. Fortunately, they are under warranty and I am waiting with Sony. I wouldn't buy them again and next time I will be more careful with Sony. So I wouldn't be left without headphones, I got Razer ones for 70€ with a cable. They turned out to be very good.

    Excellent product, especially if you find it for under 100 euros. Very good sound and microphone quality, even without the extension that most gaming headsets have. Their most important feature is that they come with their own USB dongle, which makes them simply plug and play on PS5 and PC. As soon as you plug in the dongle, they sync within 1 second. The 3.5mm jack for connecting to additional devices is a big plus. It has been incredibly convenient for me because I constantly switch between devices, simply and without any issues, without connections/pairing. The wireless connection between headset and dongle is very fast; I never noticed any delay in sound or speech. Attention, they do NOT connect via Bluetooth! If you want headphones for wireless connection with mobiles/tablets, you will necessarily have to look elsewhere.

    In two years it started having severe disconnections, making it useless as far as Bluetooth connection is concerned. Now we use them with a cable on the headphones and my friends complain that they hear my voice twice. Also, something that is well known, the ear pads got damaged in a year.

    The headphones are quite good and easily connect to the PS5. Four stars due to the price. I consider €100 to be a lot; an ideal price would be €60-70. Also, after an hour of use, they annoy my ears externally. In case of wear in a short period, I will return.

    Sure, if you compare them, there are better headphones. But personally, after a few months of considerable use, I have enjoyed them. Immediate connection with the adapter, and if you're interested in having the entire Sony range, it fits perfectly. Now, for durability, it will show over time. They still hold up just fine.

    I have had them for over a year and they have not shown me any problems at all. The sound is very satisfying, the microphone works perfectly, just sometimes (very rarely) when I connect them to the PC (very rarely) when I press to turn it off, it stays on and I have to double-check. Overall, I am very satisfied, I would buy them again without a second thought.

    Good evening, after 2 months of use, everything is fine in terms of sound. The negatives are the mediocre build quality, but the issue that has arisen for me is uncomfortable intense pain in the ears and possibly migraines. Maybe it's because of the Bluetooth, but regardless, it is unbearable to wear it anymore

    They are very good headphones, the battery is satisfactory, it lasts about 4 hours but it also depends on the intensity with which they are used.
    In the package, apart from the USB that comes to pair them, they also come with a cable to use them wired, which I find very useful and even necessary.
    As a user of the previous PS4 headphones, I believe that these are much better made and more quality. The 90€ that I paid for them are a bit expensive, but if you find them on sale, grab them, they are quite good.

    The sound is very nice, but personally there were moments when I wanted to increase the volume and realized it was maxed out; I would have liked it to have more volume. I have average ears, and the headphones do not cover them but rest on them, so after 2 hours of gaming, my ears started to hurt. In the previous headphones I had, Razer, my ears were inside. The battery life is quite good; with one charge, I get 5 hours of gaming (generally, I don't play more hours continuously, so I don't know if they last longer since I charge them every time). If I were to buy headphones again, I would buy headphones that do not press on my ears. For the same money, there are much better headphones.

    Bought it here a month ago from a well-known store for 88€. Good sound and build quality. The only thing I didn't like is that after prolonged use (about 3 hours), the top of my head hurts, probably from the rubber that the headphones have to stay on the head. Other than that, a very good purchase choice.

    The headphones have excellent crystal clear sound and satisfactory bass. Unfortunately, they do not support 3D Audio on the PS4, but the Surround Sound is just fine. They seem to be decently made and are very comfortable. For those who have a PS4 and want decent headphones, these are just what you need. I don't have an opinion on the PS5.

    Very nice headphones with good build quality, user-friendly and lightweight.. The downside is that they don't fit well in the ears (at least in mine) because the cushion that rests on the ears is not very big. During long gaming sessions (8 hours plus), they don't weigh me down but I constantly readjust them because they don't fit well.
