![]() ![]() While you probably won’t be using the Pulse 3D headset primarily as a standard pair of wired stereo headphones, there’s value in benchmarking against models in this class to get a sense of the core sound quality of the headset. We understand why Sony would opt for a slick and minimalist appearance, but an optional stalk mic would be a nice touch. ![]() The microphone picks up and projects your voice clearly, but it’s also prone to picking up background noise more than most, which will be of concern to anyone who plays online while there are others in the room. The microphone works in wired mode, too, but you only get 3D audio when wirelessly connected to a PS5 or PS4. Charging is via USB-C.Īs well as the PS5, you can also use the Pulse 3D headset wirelessly with a PC or PS4, and there’s also an included 3.5mm cable for when you run out of batteries or want to use the headset with an Xbox, phone or tablet. Battery life is 12 hours, which isn’t huge by Bluetooth headphone standards but should cover even the longest of gaming sessions. Using the headset wirelessly involves plugging a dongle-like USB transmitter into your PS5 (you can use the socket on the front or rear) and from that point, the console will automatically output sound to the headset whenever you switch it on. There’s no button to enable or disable the 3D audio feature as there was with the Platinum Wireless Headset, but that’s because the tech is built in more at a system level. That said, multiple studios are said to be developing VR titles for PSVR 2, while other studios like Tetris Effect developer Enhance have expressed an interest in potentially developing titles for PSVR 2 as well.įor more on PSVR 2, check out some of our previous coverage including the Sony’s initial PSVR 2 announcement, and the PSVR 2 game lineup that’s been revealed thus far.Compatibility PS5, PS4 and PC (wireless), Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S (wired) ![]() ![]() Interestingly, Sony has confirmed that the PSVR 2 won’t be backwards compatible, meaning you won’t be able to play original PSVR titles with the new headset. It will also use foveated rendering which tracks the user’s vision to adjust the in-game elements rendered at a higher quality, and will feature brand new controllers known as PSV Sense controllers. The PSVR 2 will feature games like Horizon Call of the Mountain.Īs for what we do know, the PSVR 2 is being designed from the ground up to make better use of the PS5’s hardware power including offering resolutions up to 4K and HDR output support. Currently, there’s a lot that remains unknown about Sony’s PSVR 2 including a price point for the headset, price point for PSVR 2 titles like Horizon Call of the Mountain and the VR edition of Resident Evil Village, and an exact release date. Speaking of which, Bloomberg’s sources also suggest that Sony aims to increase PlayStation 5 production and distribution in early 2023 as well, with hardware supply issues expected to ease around this time. According to Bloomberg’s sources, Sony has yet to face any significant hardware shortage issues such as those seen with the company’s PlayStation 5 console. Sony is reportedly planning to manufacture 2 million PlayStation VR2 headsets by March 2023 according to sources cited by Bloomberg, with production having begun back in September of this year. ![]()
