It's GOOD! Vocals are so important in ballad, and the Pulse trounces in them due to its balanced mids and highs. I'm actually impressed with how well the Pulse sounded, if Sony were to sell the Pulse as headphones. I'm very much a ballad, kpop, rock, metal, and general otaku styled music listener (I know. So that's about games, what about music then? the headband is uncomfortable for me, annoying in fact. The one piece design on the 1st gen wireless headset was fine and comfy, but because they had to go with this new style. The last other issue is the STUPID 2-piece headband Sony went with the Pulse. Perhaps it is not to kill the already subpar-battery it has, but connecting the Pulse to a cheap amp pretty much brings them to a whole new level that you'd be baffled by for paying $150. For me personally, it just isn't loud enough. One issue however is I think Sony lied on the impedence that the Pulse are rated for. Increase the bass on the amp, and MORE bass instantly! Because the USB receiver has a 3.5mm jack on it, you simply just need to supply it with power from a USB source then connect the amp to the USB receiver with a 3.5mm cable. There is a trick to get more bass if you a glorified portable amp (I'm saying glorified, because I mean products like the TB DSS or Astro Mixamp). Just don't have it all the way beyond the 6th or 7th notch as then the vibrator motors gets too loud that you could actually HEAR them.Īctual bass on the headset is on the low side though, but I love how the mids and highs are on the Pulse. The BassImpact is a gimmick by all means, but set it to a subtle 3rd or 4th notch and it is actually pretty fun to have. However, for the general purpose of actually enjoying games, the Pulse impresses very well. The VSS in the Pulse is definitely not Dolby Headphones or CMSS 3D, I know because I have soundcards on the PC which does do them and I've had experience with both virtual surround sound tech for a good long while (4+ years now). It's hard to notice where a source is coming from. While the soundstage is pretty good for being closed, the VSS tech that Sony has in them just isn't that good. all things considered, a closed headphone. Now, the Pulse isn't geared towards competitive gaming because it is. it is going to be tough to find a better WIRELESS headset around for the PS3 (or the PC too in fact). To be quite honest, for $150 (it's $130 now). I've had the pleasure of testing the Pulse before and after it was out in the market.
