      little hard when external Hard Drives and the PS4 camera for the PSVR only work with the back ports so no much options If you dare to own more devices. Besides, his point is that there shouldn't be a dongle given this is a first party accessory.

    Hey thanks for this comparison. It was exactly what i was searching for. I appreciate the clear language you use without hyperbole, and the comments on the build and quality perceptions. I was unsure if i could justify the extra cost of the A20’s but this has made me more confident in that choice. cheers.

    Thanks for the video!
    I also got both after watching this video. My experience:
    Pulse have better software integration obviously.
    Pulse are way more uncomfortable.
    Astro have lots of audio bleed, my friends said they could hear themselves as they were talking.
    Astro sounds very high pitch for me.
    The Astro only wins in terms of confort for me (which is very important if you play for long sessions) but I’ll be keeping the Pulse 3D.

All reviews seemed paid to be positive or just vague enough. This video gave me a great picture of the issues with them and I now feel comfortable spending the extra $20 on the A20s. Thanks man.

    The Sony 3d Pulse will get an upgrade with the newest firmware for your PS5. This way you can change the equalizers so you can tune it more.
    This should be a big improvement so don't just throw away or sell your Sony 3d Pulse!
    For the reviewer, I hope you have some fans in your cabinet, because otherwise your PS5 will overheat....

    I've never had the issue of audio sounding far with pulse headphones. Nor my friends, and personally nothing I've played has sounded flat. And as you said you like playing on your speakers so it made me think the flatness with the pulse could be a result of the actual in game sound settings. I just got returnal an it sounded quiet with the pulse as a result of the sound being set to the soundbar setting.

    I was looking at new headsets last night, and I was between the Astro A20 Gen 2 or the Sony ones. I liked the look of the Sony ones but they are white and I feel like they could get Cheezy poof stains on them after a while. The Astro's were $20 more expensive but honestly I really love them so far. They connected instantly when I turned them on. I really love the thick cloth padding, feels like a nice pillow, a little disappointed with the EQ. I can't tell a huge difference, I'm a musician and would like to think I have a fairly keen ear, but I just can't hear that much of a difference. Overall I so like the audio quality, wireless is a plus. The mic boom is really maliable so I can move the mic to wherever feels necessary. Pleased so far. Great video dude.

  • @SuperHNDRXX
    @SuperHNDRXX 2 года назад +8

    Have both of these. The biggest downside to the Sony pulse is that you can’t mute the mic using the ps5 controller mute button. Which is horrible bc you have to continuously reach up to mute the mic, which has gotten me killed a few time. Also, they are tight and the elastic band is a headache, especially if you have a lot of hair. Also sound sounded very hollow
    The Astros are probably the best sounding headphones I’ve ever had. Also able to be muted with the controller. It’s a very comfortable fit and has adjustable Volume on the headset. Definitely better between the 2.

    So I had to stop the video at 11:28 and called bullshit on his sound analysis of the Pulse 3-D.
    I was amazed by not only how much space it can create but also how clear the bass is and how clear the mid to high frequencies are when you hear the bass. It’s actually one of the things that amazes me a most about using the 3-D pulse. I’ve play Cold War for PS5 Miles Morales and ratchet and clank. The sound is not only in depth with a very clear 3-D Output but very balanced in its lows to highs but the clarity of it all working together shows that PlayStation has really change the Game when they decided to put a separate engine for sound. This Tempest 3-D audio system in the PlayStation 5 is revolutionary. This dude said flat out that the frequencies sound flat and there’s absolutely no bass. This is usually a result of people using headphones with oversaturated bass. Thinking that that’s the norm. However that saturated base bleeds in to the mid to high frequencies creating an unbalanced and unclear listening experience.
    I can tell you as an audio engineer what he just said was absolute and total bullshit.

  • @kingrofty

    I'm using a Sennheiser BT headset that connects to my TV, and the sound on my PS is now way better than the wireless headsets from Sony. Added benefit is that you can use the headset for everything, like watching Netflix or Prime Video on the TV app, instead of the PS headset, that you can only use with the PS. Extra bonus is that your console doesn't have to do any sound processing, so your CPU can focus on game performance. Think these headsets might still make sense if you use a monitor with your console?

    I agree 100%, we’re talking about the PlayStation 5 in 2021 and we still need a dongle for a 1st party accessory.. That was the first thing I thought when I opened the box. It feels like they put no effort into anything but the styling, yet there’s an ugly dongle sticking out of my oddly designed PS5. I was also pleasantly surprised that the mute button on the controller works for the A50s, yet doesn’t on the pulse 3D’s. Again not thought through on Sony’s part. Sony needs to rethink their headset offering IMO and come out with something in the $250 range with much less emphasis on looks and more on sound quality, build quality and R&D. I can’t stand the button placement on the Pulse 3Ds either. Sticking with A50s until the next model. Even then I’ll most likely stick with Gen 3s as my tv will only do 4k60 anyways. Great review 👍

    • @Dorraj
      @Dorraj 2 года назад

      1. Plug it into the back of the console, you don't need it sticking out the front. There's 2 USB spots on the back.
      2. The headset uses a dedicated 2.4Ghz band specifically for the headset. The PS5 (and every console since 7th Gen) has a band specifically for controllers, and not for the headset. All headsets that have been wireless for consoles have required a dongle. It's like complaining about how you just bought a new car and are upset how you still need to use a steering wheel to drive it.
