"None of my friends ever complain about my mic. And the friends I have that use them come in clear."

"This is the best pair of headsets I've ever owned and I used to have a professional studio headset before. It has incredible sound if you set it up right and movies/games feel amazing when they actually utilize everything the Pulse Elite has to offer. Silent Hill 2 does this and probably the best demonstration for the headsets. Checkout Returnal as well."
"The Pulse Elites are way better if you want simultaneous bluetooth and quality sound."
"Excellent audio quality for gaming, music, and movie watching."

"they fit my head. ... I have a big head and it seems like most head sets are too tight or too short to fit comfortably."
"Big head here, new elite headset is super comfy."
"I can say that they feel exceptionally comfortable on my head. ... As soon as I put them on, they just felt right. ... The ear cups are soft and create a good seal around my ears, and they stay in place even when I move my head. ... When I lean back into my couch, they don’t get pushed forward by the cushions. ... They feel solid while wearing them"

"the sides easily snap and break ... awful structural integrity ... I’m on my second pair now ... It snapped when I took it off with one hand. ... no other pair of headphones have been damaged from me just pulling them off by the muff."
"the right side of my pulse elite cracked in half. ... I was not particularly rough on them and in 20 years of using headsets I've never experienced that kind of failure. ... Rough for a $150 headset."
"very fragile design. I literally dropped it one time and the side snapped. It's held by 1/16th of inch plastic. And right where it's prone to snap, not even tape can fix."

"Kept disconnecting"
"The disconnecting issue is so annoying that I wouldn’t buy them again. ... Disconnects in the middle of an online game so you’re left in silence until you get a chance to remove them reinsert the usb dongle (turning off and on again using the headset button does not work for me)."
"I was in the middle of playing COD on PS5 while having the headset plugged in. all of a sudden i lost connection. ... now i have it plugged into my playstation. its not showing the orange "charging indicator". tried different cords. still the same result."

"pulse elite clamps my head too much ... I am tired of hearing my own heartbeat pumping"
"it was lighter, clamped less and didn't seal as much as elites. ... Elites makes me hear my own heartbeat ... I returned elites and I am using pulse 3d again."
"my band just snapped ... i have a big head"

"the fact that it as a first party headset doesn't have chat to game mix on it"
"It's not. The headset only has volume, sync, and mute buttons. They removed all that cools tuff from 3D."
"cant control seperate game/chat audio like old PS rose headphones could."

"While using them I kept hearing this crackling sound like embers from a distant bonfire; extremely distracting and prone to drive you crazy."
"mic randomly stops working"
"my mic doesn't go threw the headset and wants to go threw the portal mic instead and causes some problems with people trying to hear me."
