PlayStation Pulse earbuds and headset – pre order, where to buy, price, and more

Sony has announced its PlayStation Explore earbuds and headset, so we’re covering all the important bits, including pre order details, where to buy, price and more.

In case you’re late to the party, Sony has announced a flurry of exciting new products hailed to reflect the “generational leaps” the company has made in gaming. The look of these fancy, premium headsets isn’t dissimilar to the PSVR 2 released earlier this year. While the Elite wireless headset is more like the next generation of PlayStation’s Pulse 3D headset, the Pulse Explore earbuds will be the first time Sony release internally developed earbuds for PS5. We’re here for it.

PlayStation earbuds price – how much does it cost?

The PlayStation Pulse Explore earbuds will cost $199 / £199, which is around the same price as PlayStation’s DualSense Edge controller. Naturally, the best wireless gaming headsets and earbuds easily cost more than $100, though we’re surprised by just how much Sony wants us to play, considering the Pulse Explore earbuds will primarily be used for gaming. We’ll have to wait for the independent reviews before we make any judgements on whether the PS5 earbuds are worth it.

PlayStation Pulse Elite headset – how much does it cost?

The PlayStation Pulse Elite headset will cost $149.99, making it about $50 cheaper than the PlayStation Pulse Explore earbuds. They will be available for pre order and purchase sometime this year, and is said to deliver an “audiophile-level listening experience” that you would expect to find in premium devices.
