Reviewing Sony's Pulse Explore gaming earbuds for Playstation, using LINK tech to connect to the PS5 and PS Portal, after a month of testing. The Sony Pulse Explore buds are a headset replacement, with Bluetooth compatibility - although as everyday earbuds they ain't the best!

Check out my reviews of other wireless headphones, lots more coming in 2024!

If you want a pair of good quality earbuds with zero latency when gaming on the Sony Playstation 5 or your Portal, the Pulse Explore deliver. They're crazy big but that performance is excellent, with a few drawbacks like the obligatory PS5 dongle. Battery life isn't great, but I wouldn't want to be gaming for more than five hours with these stuck in my head anyway.

As true wireless earbuds, the Sony Pulse Explore buds are a step back from most rivals at this price. The case is huge, limiting portability, while the lack of ANC (active noise cancelling) is a big minus. But these wireless earbuds are designed for gaming first, and on that front I've got only a few complaints. So if you have a PS5 or PS Portal and you want a lag-free audio experience, the Pulse Explore are worth considering - on sale.
