PS5 Pulse 3D Wireless Headset
If nothing else, life during the pandemic has crystalized the need for a good set of gaming headphones. On one hand, you don’t wanna be the housemate who’s constantly blaring laser gun sound effects from your TV. On the other, sometimes you just need to drown everyone else out. In both regards, Sony’s Pulse headset for PS5, is a game-changer. Not only is it essentially soundproof, but audio comes through crisp and clear, even at high volumes. Some blockbusters—Returnal, in particular—make use of its 3D audio bona fides to impressive effect. It’s one thing to see rainfall on the screen and feel its pitter-patter in your hands. But to hear rain drop with precise echolocation on your eardrums is transportive to a whole new level—almost like you’re no longer stuck on a planet governed by leaders who seem determined to keep this damn pandemic going until the PS6 comes out. – Ari Notis
