Sony's new Pulse headset lineup
Sony just announced two new PlayStation Pulse wireless gaming headsets for PS5. They're designed to replace the Pulse Elite from 2024.
Pulse Edge packs premium features
The top-tier Edge model uses custom planar magnetic drivers with eight magnets for studio-quality sound. It includes a detachable boom mic with AI noise rejection.
Built for serious gamers
The Edge has console-integrated volume controls, a game audio and chat balance slider, and active noise cancellation. It comes with a USB-C adapter and carrying case.
Standard Pulse cuts corners
The entry-level Pulse uses only four magnets instead of eight. It lacks the boom mic, chat balance feature, active noise cancellation, and carrying case.
Pricing still a mystery
Sony hasn't revealed how much either headset will cost. This makes it tough to judge value against competitors like SteelSeries and Corsair.
Coming early next year
Both headsets launch in early 2025 in white and black. They work natively with PlayStation Portal thanks to built-in PlayStation Link compatibility.
The key point
Sony's new Pulse headsets feature planar magnetic drivers and PS Portal compatibility, but pricing remains unknown.
