Official Wireless Stereo Headset for PS3

i've had the pulse for a while now and really like them. I think they are well worth the price.

I agree, they are a must have for sure. I've enjoyed them so much. I watched the new Total Recall last night with them, and wow, what a blast, I can't imagine experiencing that movie in any better way without them, especially at 1 AM when everyone else is sleeping
Tip: Press triangle on your PS3 during playback and find the volume control icon. Pump it up to + 4 for maximum volume level. You only have to do this one time and the setting is saved by the system. You need to do this only one time during disc playback and one time during regular playback from the harddrive.

Yep! Just about the only thing that would make it better is being able to use two per system, simultaneously.

If the original ps3 headset was too tight for me would I like the pulse?

The original headset I couldn't even wear for more than a minute because of the pressure around my ears.

To be honest, I've never seen the original PS3 headset be tight on anyone's head (and my cousin is 6'6" with large head). The original headset is really loose on my head. The Pulse grips tighter, but it's very comfortable to me. I've been wearing them 10 or more hours a day, for the past week. I only have it expanded a couple notches on each side (currently sporting lots of thick hair...lol).

When spring time comes around, I suspect I will be able to comfortably wear it the way they came in the box.

and what is pulse headset? I need a decent substitute for the official headset as its very expensive. Kindly tell me about Pulse product and from where to buy it. Is it also wireless and having good sound quality.

If your head is a size that is SOMEHOW large enough that the original Pulse didn't fit, I highly doubt these will suit you any better. IMO, they are tighter on my head than the original Pulse headset.

?Kashif?, both sets are wireless, but if you're wanting cheaper than the official headset, which I would presume you mean the $40 bluetooth, you're not going to find them here. The Pulse is $100. The Pulse Elite is $150. Both are a great value, but again, if $40 is out of your price range, look elsewhere.

I just saw the Pulse Elite on amazon for $117.00

I'm just wondering how these headsets do their 7.1 compared to say the Astro Mixamp? The Astro converts a Dolby Digital 5.1 signal to Dolby Headphone 7.1, but what does the Pulse Elite do?
Does it convert a 2.0 signal to 7.1? Or does it do a similar thing as the Astro, just with a different technology to Dolby Headphone?

So I've had the elite since they came out in october. I just seen the other day that they are cracked by the ear piece on both sides. I don't know why. I don't throw them around. I wear them to my comfort. Hopefully sony will send me a new pair.

I saw that too. I need a new headset. I will probably get this one after i research it a bit more.

[jgoldwood]

$127 is what I'm seeing?

I have the original Sony headphones.... are these worth getting swapping out?

I would say no. I have both. The elite have a crack on both sides where it's holding the ear piece. Plus the bass booster sucks. If they were blu tooth capable I would say yes. But they aren't.

What is the battery life? I was wearing my Turtle Beach XP400 for 13 hours today, with the Blu-tooth enabled and it still didn't need charging. I have them set up for the 5.1 Dolby decoder on my PS3, XBox360, Dish receiver and stereo for my TV. Just wonder because some day they are going to die and I will need a replacement and want to go cheaper.

Holy 13 hours? I've only used mine for about 5 hours at most. The next day they still have a charge.

Yeah, I had read an Amazon review that said the user got 10 hours with Bluetooth on and 13 with it off. I had it on. I also have it set to watch TV so I was watching TV while my wife was working so it didn't disturb her. And I have my laptop connected to my TV so I sometimes listen to music with them too, so it wasn't just 13 hours of double XP COD: Black Ops (but I think Baily was on about 20 hours yesterday playing, lol). I have a TOS switch so I can change my sound source.

I really hope these work with the PS4.

Having both headsets, I would no recommend the "elite" edition. First of all the bass boost sucks. Second, I can't see a difference in sound when changing "movie,game,shooter,music etc.". And third, the elite edition already has cracks right above the ear piece. In between the headphone itself and the bass booster. I did call sony and ask if I could exchange. Basically it's my fault they said and can't exchange. It's not like I'm throwing these headphones around.
I would get the first set as they're more durable and don't have that silly bass booster. Save yourself 50 bucks and get the first edition.

And hopefully by the time the ps4 comes outs,they'll have a pair that are blu tooth capable.
