I haven't tried the earbuds so I couldn't comment on those, but my pulse elite headset randomly disconnects on a regular basis and I have to remove the usb and put it back in before they will reconnect

This! I appreciate how I can control the headset volume and mute with the Dualsense Edge. You can't go wrong for the price imo. Sound stage and battery life are fantastic.

I have the Pulse Elite and Arctis Nova Pros, almost exclusively use the Pulse Elites. Great sound stage, volume, battery life is solid, comfy and I like how the mute pairs with the controller. Of the few hundred hours it's been used, I've had it disconnect maybe 3 or 4 times for a second and it auto-reconnects. And Sidetone could be a tad louder. Otherwise, I love it and it's great for the price IMO.

I have to recommend the Pulse Elite. I have Mine for about a year and the Sound and mic quality is both good. I Had a steel series AMD the Sound quality was Not good in my opinion. I had to return it the same day..

This plastic shit breaks if you leave it in the sunlight for too long.

Same. Had them since launch, still working great. The cushions are wearing down though.
