Sony Unveils New PlayStation Pulse Headsets
The new wireless models add AI-enhanced microphones and, for the Edge, active noise cancellation and a detachable boom mic.
- Sony introduced the new PlayStation Pulse and Pulse Edge wireless headsets, both featuring planar magnetic drivers and PlayStation Link connectivity for enhanced gaming audio.
- Following the acquisition of premium headphone brand Audeze, Sony launched its first planar magnetic headset, the Pulse Elite, in 2024 to leverage thin diaphragms that minimize distortion and deliver cleaner bass.
- PlayStation Link enables ultra-low latency audio across PS5, PlayStation Portal, and Mac, while integrated mics feature AI-enhanced noise rejection to help players pinpoint directional cues in shooters.
- The Pulse Edge differentiates itself with double the magnets of the Pulse for deeper bass, plus active noise cancellation and a detachable boom mic for clearer voice chat.
- Although pricing remains unconfirmed, the Pulse Edge is expected to be the more expensive model; the Pulse Elite currently sells for $149 on Amazon, while the Audeze Maxwell unveiled at CES 2026 costs $329.
