![]() Whether it’s within a forest and hearing the leaves rustle all around you, the wind whistling atop a mountain, the distant sound of machines, or a mixture of all three within the heat of combat, everything is well balanced and has its place in this spherical field of sound. Its secret to success is tight Tempest 3D Audio integration with the PS5, which puts the likes of Dolby Atmos on blast with a thoroughly detailed, immersive soundstage that feels bright and expressive at all levels without a hint of distortion.įiring up Horizon Forbidden West is an amazing demonstration of what is possible and, beyond the stunning visuals, it breathes a new level of life into the world. Trust me when I say that much like Microsoft’s headphones, you will be baffled at how headphones at this price can sound this good. The 40mm neodymium drivers found in the Pulse 3D headset match up to the Arctis 7P and Xbox Wireless headset in terms of size and quality. Pulse 3D wireless headset gaming performance Some of you may not appreciate being able to make small tweaks to the wearability, but the fact the headset sorts itself out is something I prefer for sure. The band itself is a moving part that adjusts itself based on where the cups are on your head. It’s also worth noting that while you cannot manually adjust the headband like on the Xbox Wireless Headset and SteelSeries Arctis 7P+, that’s not necessary on the Pulse 3D. Of course, you do get a sensation of relief when you take them off your head, but nothing to indicate these are harsh to wear in any way. In both of these cases, these did not get overly exhausting to wear at any point. My longest stints over the past couple weeks has been 6 hours on Gran Turismo 7 (before the game slowly started being ruined), and one of those accidental 7-hour stints in the recently updated Cyberpunk 2077 where you start at a normal time, blink, then realize its 2am. That lighter sensation on your head makes for long-term comfort. The lightweight design is made to feel even lighter with the suspended headband, and the plush cushions on the perfect circle over-ear cups (odd when you take into account most gaming headsets opt for an oval cup) lends itself to a snug fit without a strong clamp around your noggin. But the Pulse 3D headset absolutely sticks the landing in this category. Now, I get that on paper, a rubber head strap and hard plastic doesn’t sound like it lends itself to a comfortable wearing experience. The I/O setup is a little chaotic when you’re trying to fiddle with settings in the heat of gaming. On the left cup there’s the buttons for the power, volume control and audio/microphone modes as well as the 3.5mm headphone jack and USB-C connector. ![]() ![]() The featherweight construction contributes to the Pulse 3D wireless headset feeling cozy to wear for long play sessions. However, with these material choices comes a lighter weight of 10.4 ounces - 0.6 ounces less than the Xbox Wireless Headset, and 2.5 ounces less than the SteelSeries Arctis 7P+.
