Mediocre-Baker7004My Pulse Elites have zero connection issues and sound great! My brother says he hears me vlear as day when we play online. Maybe its because I extend the boom mic. Any way...i got em for 149.99 during Days of Play. Not regretting it at all.
PocketOosI use the pulse elites btw.
saibotlayfa999Give it a week. Also, the plastic is made out of trash. Mine is less than a year old and broke in the same spot on both sides. Its currently being held with 2 strips of ABS gorilla glued to either side. My roommates base Pulse's plastic is definitely stouter
SleepingtideI love my Pluse Elite, but if you want something more mutltiple device I would go for a SS.
