Sony’s Pulse Explore Earbuds are laser-focused on, and deliver, high-quality sound for gaming, but that leaves little room for many features that are found in comparable Bluetooth earbuds in this price range. #IGN #Gaming #PS5
@@supermitendo9654link adapter occupies one usb port though. If SONY wants to move link protocol forward, they should put more effort into it. At least make their own devices support it
@@shotan.jthis is the same company that doesn’t let you change the volume using their pro controller if you’re using their wireless headset….company that put airplane mode on a online only device
Why didn’t they have the foresight to include link in the updated PS5 replacement/slim? They must’ve had a release roadmap and known what they were releasing and when etc
Sony is definitely an innovation company. I've never seen planar magnetic drivers in something so small. I'm glad another company is making effort towards a new and potentially better low latency frequency. Besides Bluetooth. The tech is only going to get better from here. Love sony everything
On certain aspects of this review you also have to consider these were made for gaming specifically not for outdoors activities or to take on travel so the the lifespan of the charge is reasonable and the fact that it's a big case shouldn't matter because they're more for homebody people to use while gaming they can be used to take out but this was not the main purpose of these earbuds which people need to understand when it comes down to the style and size of the earbud
The problem is that these are technically the only earbuds that can work with the portal outside your home so yes it should be prepared for outdoor or out of home use if using your portal
@@teddydelgado9968nope, not officially that I’ve seen, I’m still researching a workaround but because the portal has link instead of Bluetooth, you can’t use anything other than hardwired headphones or the pulse explore smh
So basically no test whatsoever on latency against its own Bluetooth connection or against any fast aptx Bluetooth buds. Gotta love the reviews these days.
Do y’all think Sony will license out the PlayStation Link tech for 3rd party companies? Not sure if this gen 1 series is the one for me considering the trade offs mentioned in the review
If you got these, get new ear tips, you will thank me later, the ear tips provided are worhhless. If you get noice isolated eartips you will hear the bass much better and as well as the sound stage. They more you close out outside sound the better these sound, sony blew it when they delivered these with those cheap eartips. Get the Asla sedna earfits. They are amazing.
I’ve seen a lot of complaints about the INZONE buds with the PS5. I’ve seen that mic quality sounds worse than the PS5 controller mic and the audio lacks almost any bass, and sounds poor altogether.
5 hours is a deal breaker for me, esp with no ANC that is some shite battery life. Maybe the planar drivers take more energy than standard, but Maxwell are able to get 90h off a single charge.
No one has mentioned the poor distance connection. My pulse headphoes would stay connected at quite the distance from the PS5. You walk 5 feet from the PS5 with ear buds you lose connection. And the random disconnects are ridiculous. While brief. Its annoying. And the comfort level is poor IMO. Im a bit dissapointed.
"We" had to give up a lot? Also, don't really understand the disconect between Sony and PlayStation in making redundant products. Instead of having one lineup for PS and everything else (inzone), they instead choose to be confusing.
"Some of the best detail reproduction we ever heard out of any earbuds ever in history of the universe" ... so let me tell you about this community called head-fi...
You should've put a spoiler warning for Spider-Man 2, it hasn't been out that long. You do say it's comically larger than AirPods Pro for example but you don't show the difference in the video, don't even clarify if the advertised battery life is accurate and if you have tested it, utterly unprofessional.
