I am an "audio-enthusiast" but come on, Sony makes the XM*, sure not flat at all and don't win any audio awards but surely decent cans.Want audio quality? Don't buy wireless headphones.

If worried, I'd be inclined to use leather furniture cleaner and protection cream. It should protect them really well. My leather recliner still looks like new by using them and should work well on any leather type material.
They are more detailed and have better object positional placement than the 3D's.
Mine came 90% charged and I used them straight away. Then charged them for 30minutes to get them to max a while later. My understanding is that these will charge from zero to full in 2.5hrs. I'd use them straight out of the box.
Dude...
No my question was if they need like a 10 hours first charge like some other electronic stuff, not related to how many charge they have out of the box.
Those are pretty immersive
Nothing in the literature suggests that. And the fact that its allowed to be constantly placed on a charging cradle, makes me think you have nothing to worry about.
Makes sense. These are less than half the price of AKG 712 Pros. Kind of impressive they punch high enough to mention.
Yeah, cant be pushed as hard and lack a little bass, but spacious sound stage is up there. But its the usability feature set which is great for me. Only thing I wish, was that you could control the Bluetooth volume from the headset and or PS5. We may yet see more improvements in the future though...
Yeah def. I’m really impressed. They’re my first set of planar, so didn’t know what to expect. I’ve used lots of higher end headphones - grado rs2x, etc - and they def sound unique to me, really spacious, very clean.
They come out the box charged
Imagine these newer headphones were worse than the previous?
They were good for the price if they fit comfortably. They were a step down from the Platinum but as good as some more expensive headsets from steelseries. At the same time the Penrose was the only similarly featured headset that blew them away and they were $249-$300. Now the Maxwell’s @$300 don't have the same sound advantage over the Elite because they're both Planar.
This and the band design bothered me about the Pulse 3d. Does it screw in the same?
The rubbery thing? Seems lower and more round, very comfortable.
Really? I have a big ass head and ears and it feels good. I can see it not being perfect for everyone though. I'm thinking of buying a backup pair.Feels a little tight around my head and ears though
It's about the middle ear not getting "ventilated" properly, at least in the air plane situation you describe.
I tried every trick in the book, nothing works, the doctor said that is physiologic, my sister has the same problem.
You’re an idiot. There are two thin paper strips you just peel off and then the box slides out, that’s it.
Try unscrewing the strap. If it's like the 3d there's a screw under the pad. As long as the outer brace has enough tension the headset will still stay in place but there will be less pressure.
The Explore had this issue for some people but they released a firmware update and it was fixed.
When you can hear your own voice during chat.
No its not you, its obtusely designed. Who logically thinks when you get a box you should open it at the bottom and look for two tear strips which are the same colour as the base itself. I sussed it was the bottom strips, but only after realising the top section was an origami test.
There were mixed reports I read before buying. Thankfully its fine for me and far more comfortable than the 3D's, but I get why they might not be for others. Personally I'd return if uncomfortable. But I guess you could try leaving them on something to stretch them a little over night first.Feels a little tight around my head and ears though
Only thing I would suggest trying if you haven't already, is using the Link dongle for PC over bluetooth. The Link sounds better than the bluetooth for me.
Starting to think I should stop using Amazon for my videogame purchases.
My box started to look like Digital Foundry opened it.
lol, I admit, my initial thoughts were a bemused what the hell, followed a few moments later with WTF cunt designed this. The hook hanger and a couple of other cardboard elements are no more alas.
Yeah that's the reason I love pulse 3d too!
I think you'll love them. Each sesh I use them, I like them more and more. Metro Exodus last night sounded superb. Pretty much everything is an upgrade over the 3D's for me.
Dude Metro fucking exodus. I finished that game good few times on pc. Love it.
This was on PS5 this time.
nice. Which 3d audio setting you use ?This was on PS5 this time.
So in game there is no options to worry about, I left as default. And then the PS5 OS automatically switches console audio from my AVR to the headphones when they switch on. And enables the 3D audio automatically. Which I have left at default Type 3. I do use a Audio 1 as a custom eq setting of Bass at 3 with Low at 1 and everything else 0.
Nice. I also use type 3 with pulse 3d. And I keep it enabled system wide and I don't disable it for any game. I think the best 3d audio I've ever heard was in Returnal. I can only imagine on elite!
