PlayStation Pulse Wireless Headset & Pulse Edge Wireless Headset
The headsets arrive with custom studio-inspired planar magnetic drivers that deliver exceptional sound separation and spatial accuracy. Large planar drivers have been added to create fuller, deeper bass while keeping the clean sound.
PlayStation Link support provides lossless, ultra-low-latency audio, along with the flexibility to seamlessly switch between devices that support PlayStation Link, including PS5 consoles, PlayStation Portal remote player, PC, and Mac. The headsets can also simultaneously connect to supported Bluetooth devices.
Both headsets feature AI-enhanced noise rejection in their integrated mics to filter out background noise, an updated form factor designed for lasting comfort and durability, and rotating earcups that allow the headsets to lay flat for easier portability. They will be available in White and Midnight Black colours.
Pulse Edge offers additional features, including planar magnetic drivers with double the magnet volume compared to PlayStation Pulse to deliver even richer, deeper bass while maintaining the precision and clarity that lets subtle details shine through. It also includes active noise cancellation to reduce unwanted ambient background noise and a detachable boom mic for crystal-clear voice chat- with the option to use a hidden mic when detached. It’s crafted with premium materials and includes a carrying case to keep the headset protected.
