Good Point! I snapped the plastic on the outside the 3D pulse elites trying to cover my head over a hoodie whilst on a bus, the snap was pretty clean and used my plastic staple gun & welded the crack working fine but decided to keep them homebound rather than taking them out again

At home I use the Pulse 3D headset, the USB link remains within my PS5. The Sony WH1000XM5 are my commuting headphones so when I'm out and about I tend to carry a 3.5mm cable & connect via the Aux. If I am travelling long haul (flights or long trains journeys) I tend to use this [Ugreen Aux Bluetooth 6.0] (https://amzn.eu/d/8ZXIrLc) so I can connect through my pixel buds, the latency isn't the worse I didn't really want to fork out for an Avantree or an Airfly. I'm intrigued by the pulse explorers I wouldn't buy them brand new because being roughly around the same price as the portal itself I can't justify it but I do see them on eBay without the dongle for a lot cheaper and I wonder if they can connect to portal without the dongle or whether I can connect them to my existing dongle without having to unmatch my existing pulse 3d headset

I guess depends on the game. I got pulse 3d, cloud 3, turtle beach 2 gen, Arctis nova 5. Sound wise Arctis nova 5 is better than these. Comfort + sound cloud 3 wireless.

I use a blue yeti microphone on a mic stand and connect earbuds (the cheap Apple ones) wired into it so my hair doesn’t get destroyed and I sound good. I never ever found a headset I liked besides the Sony pulse I had on PS4 but my hair was much shorter back then.

I use my ps5 Sony - PULSE 3D Wireless Gaming Headset for PS5 and just plug an AUX cord into both my headset and portal I do the same thing when i play using my ps5 controller. It also works great for my Nintendo Switch.

Ps5 pulse headphones have been a game changer when I’m working on crafts.

I’ve been using the PS5 3D pulse headset been working perfect since release. I know people had issues with the headband snapping and the ear cushion part tearing etc. Not ran into those issues thankfully 🙏
