PULSE Explore Wireless Earbuds

THESE HEADPHONES ARE ABYSMAL!!! DO NOT BUY!
Okay, I can’t take it anymore. Walk with me on this journey of pain.I have a lot of hair, so I tend to buy earbuds and avoid over-ear headphones. I’ve been waiting for some gaming earbuds for at least five years so I thought these would be perfect! and at a price tag of $200, I assumed I would be getting some very high-end hardware. My patience had paid off!How wrong I was. My fiancée split the cost with me, so I could afford them, so I tried to tough it out for her sake, but even my love for my betrothed is not stronger than my disdain for these headphones.First of all, lets discuss the attention to detail. They’re awkwardly shaped and its often difficult to know which is the R or L side. They fit comfortably, but its annoying when I often have to take them out (more on that later) and I’m fumbling in the dark afterward trying to read the tiny print to see which side is which.The second issue is the fact that they still need a USB-A dongle to function. its 2024, a USB dongle of any kind is inconvenient, takes either my front USB I use to charge my controller, or my rear that I use for my cooling fans, or my external hard drive. And then what’s worse is it constantly overheats, which disconnects my headphones entirely, often in the middle of a game. And when machine gun fire suddenly blasts through the speakers at 1AM and wakes up everyone in the house, that’s a huge problem.Thirdly, lets discuss the range, cause its freaking ABYSMAL. I typically buy $20 earbuds from Amazon of whatever knockoff brand is available. When paired on my phone, i can leave it anywhere in my house, leave, go mow the lawn, work on my motorcycle or car out back, and walk all the way to the street corner, and it will still be connected and transmitting audio. I’m talking 40+ feet of range through walls and doors. These headphones cannot leave the room. I mean sub 15 feet from the dongle in the FRONT USB port, and even less in the rear. I disconnect as soon as I step around a single wall. Want to go to the kitchen for a glass of water? Water down your expectations. Step outside for a smoke break? Smoke the connection before you can light up. Just insanely bad range.But oh, did you think I was done? That I couldn’t possibly have another axe to grind? Buckle up boys, girls, and they/thems, cause I’m Paul Bunyan today.The microphone quality is literally lower than a 10 year old, single ear $4.99 Xbox aux headset that I found in a box. I’m constantly reminded in chat parties that I sound like a robot, or that no one can hear me because the mic is too low (the settings on the PS5 are almost always at max). And whenever I get overzealous and step out of range, it disconnects first one, then the other headphone and when it reconnects (not automatically, I have to manually click the button on the underside of each ear first), BOOM, I’m suddenly Will Smith’s co-star in I, Robot.Which brings me to the next problem. Whenever this happens they have to be fully reset. Like, put them both back in the case (which is awkward because of their shape), walk over to the playstation, disconnect the dongle, reconnect it, take them back out and wait for them to reconnect.This has to be done during games when I’m trying not to wake my partner after a desperate scramble for the remote to hit the mute button on the TV, during COD lobbies while being shot at, even mid-air in Rocket League. Doesn’t matter. Mic goes crazy, only a full reset will solve it.Still not done. The case. My god, the case is abysmal. My $20, Temu brand ear buds with triple the range and mic quality have a built-in battery worth 24 hours of charge. These have none. The case feels like the cheapest plastic available and slides awkwardly to open. The fact that I have to carry it around with me to reset the earbuds makes it worse, cause I can’t just charge one when its battery dies (we’ll get to that later) and then swap it out. I have to plug the case in (there’s no ports near my couch) which means i have to get up (again) to address it. And god forbit the case be in a different room than I am, which disconnects the second bud. Nightmare fuel.BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!Its insane that the batteries are this poor. I’ve had the headphones for about 8 months and I play for 1-3 hours at a time, usually very late in the evening after work and home life have wound down. After a single session, if I don’t gather them up, case them, and plug them back into the wall outlet (remember, my PS outlets are dedicated to the dongle and my other accessories) then the next time I use them, there’s zero chance they have more than 1/3 battery remaining. The left one always dies first too, which shouldn’t happen but oh well.If I really wanted to, I could continue, but I’m a busy man, and have things to do. Too busy for this crap. Don’t spend your hard-earned money on this. Buy a state-of-the-art surround sound system instead, connect with optical audio and link some $20 earbuds to that. You won’t have a mic, but at least your friends won’t think you’ve been possessed by Skynet every 20 minutes.

These are some of the worst earbuds I have ever used. They are egregiously priced as they cost as much as the playstation portal itself. The pairing process was a pain and I had to resort to the internet to find a way to pair it because Sony’s instructions weren’t working. Once paired, these were underwhelming. For one thing, they’re pretty low in volume so you can forget being immersed in the game. Second, they lack ANC. Third, the sound is pretty average in comparison to cheaper regular bluetooth earbuds like the Sennheiser TWM 4’s and the Airpods Pros. Third, there’s no wireless charging and given the less than the competition battery life, you’ll have to charge these more frequently. Fourth, the case is massive in size and is not pocketable. Fifth, the design of the earbuds is awkward and may not be especially comfortable for extended use. My advice? these are overpriced and unnecessary. Get yourself a bluetooth dongle and happy gaming.
