12/13 UPDATE: After 5 days, I’ve since RETURNED them due to disconnecting to the PS5 and 4 other reasons - I’ll make an update vid on this over the next few days so stay tuned 👀
I mentioned in my very latest vid that I returned them after a week due to discomfort and other reasons I’ll cover in a vid soon, let us know how you go on with them! I DESPERATELY wanted to LOVE this… | PlayStation Portal 4 Week HONEST Review ruclips.net/video/JDEtEpiyIZo/видео.html
Ai rejection is not what you explained in thia Vid, bro. It's blocking feedback from your end of the mic when chatting with folks online. Does good to muffle heavy breathing, chips bag ruffling. And fan noise to the point of being nearly non-existent for others to hear
I Purchased a pair of these not long after the release and the sound quality is great and enhance gameplay sound however they have currently a major flaw which is they keep disconnecting. During gameplay they will disconnect and reconnect one or 2×1 to 2 hour session and at times they will also disconnect and not reconnect at all unless rebooting the PS five. There needs to be an update so that The disconnecting issue is resolved
Are you having any random disconnecting ar reconnecting while playing on the ps5? Im getting that with mine so i may do a reset on them and hopefully that will solve it.
very nice review once again. I have a question. I want a good sound quality for music and movies too so my question is if i connect the usb to my TV will i have the extremely fast response by the buds ? I tried it with other earbuds with Bluetooth but the sound was out of sync. Thanks in advance ❤
Thanks Sok, great question! I don’t think the usb will work with tv, only with PS5 console as stated in vid as I tried connecting usb to my Ally and it didn’t seem to work… however I’ve used Bluetooth with my AirPods direct to my TV and they seem fine for watching films etc so I’m sure the Pulse earbuds will be good too! If I get chance I’ll double check the usb to TV and report back 🙌
I’m the exact opposite Droide! I’ve tried all overhead incl. Apple AirPods Max and HATE all over ear for some reason! Earbud all the way for me and you’re right, the Planar Magnetic Drivers on these bad boys are fantastic!
My order was delivered yesterday and I'm very disappointed. They sound like airplane headphones. Idk if I'm doing something wrong or if there's some type of settings I'm supposed to mess with. I think I'm returning them. *Update* I changed the tips. They sounded a little bit better. Unfortunately, after a few days, the earbuds started disconecting from the console after about 30 minutes of play times. I searched online for a fix. I tried it. Worked for a while, then they started disconnecting again. I did the fix a second time, and after a few hours, they disconnected again. So I decided to return them. Maybe I was the unlucky fellow that got damaged goods. This was disappointing, I was really looking forward to the buds. Now that I have to wear glasses, the over ear headphones bother me after a few hours of playing.
Ah sad to hear Grab, as mentioned in the vid spend some time making sure you pick the correct tips so they’re nice and tight for optimum sound quality. Also placement of stems is a factor too - I like them pointing down, but I’ve seen other RUclipsrs have them pointing forward and even some pointing up! Let us know how you get on 🙌
@PeteTalksTech I changed the tip and compared them to my Gen 2 Turtle Beach Stealth 700 and my Galaxy Buds. I figured out that what I was missing from the Pulse Buds Explore is the bass. I wish it had more *umph* The sound is good, maybe this is as good as it gets for earbuds.
Ah yes others use more bass which may sound better but doesn’t necessarily create an accurate sound environment which these Magnetic Planar Drivers are renowned for… I totally get it though as we’ve been conditioned to think that more bass is best, which is why Beats were so popular back in the day!
I changed my tips to the foam ones from my Sony xm4 buds and it transformed the sound! The bass is so much better! I was so disappointed when I first tried them, they did sound like airplane headphones!
Thanks James! Wow that’s a long wait! It’s a bit baffling how Sony released the Portal that NEEDS either these Pulse earbuds or yes the Elite but they weren’t released until way after the Portal launch!
Hey Bradley, you’re right that it is a shame no ANC… but as I mentioned in the vid, using the correct tight ear tip and also the AI Noise Rejection together while not quite on ANC levels, they do a great job of removing outside noise…
12/13 UPDATE: After 5 days, I’ve since RETURNED them due to disconnecting to the PS5 and 4 other reasons - I’ll make an update vid on this over the next few days so stay tuned 👀
I just got them they sound great… cause a little pain in my ear but hopefully that’ll go away
I mentioned in my very latest vid that I returned them after a week due to discomfort and other reasons I’ll cover in a vid soon, let us know how you go on with them!

@@PeteTalksTech thanks so much . That would be amazing
Hey Solonas, no the usb only works with PS5 console and cannot be used for any other device like a tv, hope this helps!

@@PeteTalksTech yes thank you, this was very helpful ❤
Play cod on the portal with earbuds. They sound amazing
Ace! I bet those enemy footsteps are crystal clear 😂😂🤩🤩
have you tried them with the psvr 2?
Ah no Rob but from some vids I’ve seen, they are definitely an improvement over the earbuds included with the psvr 2…
I didn’t know they had planars in them!
Yep! SIE purchased Audeze, a high end manufacturer of planar magnetic headphones.
Sadly i always end up with earache using earbuds. Tried them all big buds small buds. Over hear for me. These look good though

The Pulse Elites will be out iirc next year. They also use planars but they’re over ear.
@@PeteTalksTech yeah glad we all got options though. Enjoy your buds, bud😅
Have YOU ordered the Pulse Explore Earbuds or are you not convinced? Explain below! 👇

Try chasing the tips. I did . They sound awesome
I changed my tips to the foam ones from my Sony xm4 buds and it transformed the sound! The bass is so much better! I was so disappointed when I first tried them, they did sound like airplane headphones!
Great video 👍 looking to get their elite headset myself but was SUPER bummed when I found out they were releasing those in feb of next year
Thanks James! Wow that’s a long wait! It’s a bit baffling how Sony released the Portal that NEEDS either these Pulse earbuds or yes the Elite but they weren’t released until way after the Portal launch!
£200 and no anc lol
