PlayStation 5 is capable of 3D audio playback and has innovative sound capabilities. A new color "Midnight Black" will be added to the PS5 headphones "PULSE 3D Wireless Headset". The release date is October 28th, but I opened it because I was able to borrow it a little earlier. I took a picture and actually used it. The price is 10,978 yen.
A headset tuned for PS5 Tempest 3D audio playback. As you know, the PS5 can enjoy 3D audio even if you connect your headphones / earphones to the mini jack of the Dual Sense controller. Also, with the second major system software update in September, 3D audio can now be played on the built-in speakers of the TV, making it easier to enjoy.
On the other hand, it can be said that the appeal of PULSE 3D, which is a genuine headset, is that it is designed to maximize the effects of Tempest 3D.
Package new color "Midnight Black" "PULSE 3D Wireless Headset" conventional modelThe existing model has a black housing and a white band, but the new color "Midnight Black" is not all black. When I saw the product photo, I thought it was pitch black, but when I looked at the real thing, there was an exquisite difference that the housing part was a little dark blue and the band part was more black, and the difference seemed less depending on the amount of light. It is emphasized. The inside of the band and the soft part that hits the top of the head are also a little brighter. Since it is not a simple black color, it has a high-class feel.
The color of the housing and the band and arm are slightly different. The color of the band and arm is different on the front and back.When opened, in addition to the USB-C cable for charging, a stereo mini cable for analog connection is also included. Although it is a wireless headphone, it can be used as a normal headphone even if it does not work with PS5 because it can be connected by wire. It can also be linked with a PS VR headset.
In addition, a wireless adapter is included. If you connect this to PS5 or PS4, wireless transmission will be possible. It can be used not only on PS5 and PS4, but also on Windows and mac OS PCs.
Wireless adapterThe power can be turned on / off with the slide switch on the side of the left housing of the headphones. Even with the wireless adapter connected to the PS5, it is convenient to switch on / off the PULSE 3D by turning the switch on / off on the headphone side.
When I connect the wireless adapter to PS5Speaking of convenient functions, the mute button of the microphone is also mounted on the side of the housing. It also has a main volume control button, which is normal up to this point, but also has a button for adjusting the "volume of in-game audio and voice chat". In other words, you can adjust the size of the two sources on the headphone side, when you want to hear the in-game sound mainly and when you want to hear the voice chat conversation with your friends. This is exactly what we call "for gaming".
When you operate the button to adjust the "volume of in-game audio and voice chat", such an icon and mixing bar will be displayed in the upper right corner of the screen.Since it is not necessary to move to the menu screen etc. each time when changing the setting, for example, "In a scene where a large number of enemies are attacking and countless sounds are coming out vigorously, reduce the game sound a little and listen to voice chat. It is possible to make speedy changes such as "adjusting to an easy balance and increasing the game sound in quiet scenes where the field is moving."
Buttons on the side of the housing. It also has a button to adjust the "volume of in-game audio and voice chat"Furthermore, it is equipped with a dedicated "microphone monitoring switch" for voice chat. You can use this to check for yourself how your voice is heard by the other party. "Is my voice low noise and can reach the other party without being disturbed by the surrounding noise?" Is a very interesting function because it is difficult to check by yourself.
It also has an indicator that allows you to check the charging status.
