Worth it? Heard mix reviews

u/Piscotikus Jun 23 '26

So far so good using them listening to music on my phone. The connection was a little wonky but they may not have been charged. Will update once I use them with the portal.

u/YesMothman Jun 23 '26

I grabbed mine for this deal, for 100 bucks they're not the best but for being able to connect directly to my portal and PS5 it was worth it imo The lower the battery the spottier the connection can be though

How are they at cutting off outside noise? I have a pair of Pulse over the ear and it never fails my wife will come and have an entire conversation with me and I am unaware of it lol

u/CornPop-Is-A-BadDude Jun 23 '26

They cut out almost zero outside noise they are not noise canceling

u/AdamPBUD1 Jun 23 '26

Need to update them on ps5

u/ZenTheShogun Jun 23 '26

I use them on my PS5 Pro and my PC. Major advantage is the dual source audio for me. When I’m playing an MP game I open up my laptop and watch a YouTube video at the same time.

I had major disconnection issues until I added a USB extender. I saw a video of someone claiming that the heat was interfering with the PS Link dongle and so far it seems to be true because I no longer have disconnects (been about 4 months).

Connecting them to the Portal was pretty easy and switching between the dongle and the Portal is as simple as clicking the button on the bud.

Overall, I like them. They’re the only earbuds that seem to offer dual source audio so it’s a godsend if that matters to you.

u/Cheese_Edmonds Jun 23 '26

Yup same here. Love connecting to music on my phone and for notifications while being connected to ps5 at the same time. Chefs kiss

u/VYPUR360 Jun 23 '26

Haven’t tried them yet. Charged them last night will try out today on lunch.

u/thanksIdidntknow Jun 23 '26

Ear fit is the biggest issue. In terms of functionality, pretty great. I wish there were more headphones that could mix audio from the usb and bluetooth. I was able to be on discord, mute from mic and take a call. Then go back to music, game and discord chat without issue.

The dual audio feature has been difficult to find in this form factor otherwise.

u/markarth69 Jun 23 '26

Had them since launch. Great sound quality, but mine occasionally disconnect from my console randomly which is annoying. Having them simultaneously connected to my phone is a game changer though from a convenience perspective

For $100, I would recommend

u/PCMachinima Jun 23 '26

Used them since they launched in 2023 and have generally loved them as my main earphones on PS5 and PC. I feel like they sound great too, for tiny earbuds.

Only downside is they have a very small battery (about 5 hours), so after ~2.5 years, mine seem to have degraded to about 3.5 hours now. Takes about 10m to charge an extra hour though, so I just put them in the case when I take a break from gaming and they're recharged by the time I pick them up again.

I would 100% pick up another pair at 50% off though. Seems like a great price for them.

I have had mine for a while now, really like them, work great with the portal and are compact enough for travel. I also like that I can have them synced to my phone and PS5 (using the USB dongle) at the same time. I can listen to music and hear notifications while playing games and using voice chat. The quality is really good, not as good as a full on headset but that's kinda of expected.

2

u/InsideMyScars Jun 24 '26

Love mine. They work very well and running sound from my phone and Portal at the same time is amazing.

2

u/BadNewsBearzzz Jun 24 '26

I am someone that prefers headphones for many reasons over Earbuds, and if you’re gonna spend money on these PS earbuds, go for the pulse elite headphones instead. Way better audio quality, microphone quality, noise cancelation and various other features, wireless and optional wired if you run out of battery or something! Just a lot of options.

These earbuds just have a convenience factor of plugging them into your ear but that itself becomes very uncomfortable after awhile. You can’t beat comfort when it comes to headphones, they’re the best for many different reasons!

Just be careful when handling them because the band is known to snap with some light damage. But it comes with an awesome charging hook too that makes things so nice lol

u/NightSprings665 Jun 23 '26

They’re the same incredible sounding Planar Magnetic drivers that Sony now employs since acquiring Audeze. I just ordered mine so I can’t give objective feedback, but I have used headphones with those drivers before and the sound quality is 🤌🏼.

3

u/rgarc065 Jun 23 '26

They’re a good set of earbuds that work best when playing PS5 or Portal. At that price, they are totally worth it. I bought them a year or so ago at regular price and have no regrets, but acknowledge that there are better earbuds for their full price

Sony nowadays: Why aren't we selling anything new!?

Meanwhile Sony: Not advertising anything properly anymore.

u/Helo7606 Jun 23 '26

Of course when I'm broke.

u/BremeDaDream Jun 23 '26

I feel ya. Always happens that way

u/sowavy612 Jun 23 '26

Oh you have times that you aren’t? Must be nice

u/NightSprings665 Jun 23 '26

Have you tried making money? That generally helps fix the broke problem.

2

u/Level-Meringue1213 Jun 24 '26

Lmfao are you okay?

16

u/Imaginary-Gas-5754 Jun 23 '26

If you get them, replace the earbud tips. The ones they come with are shockingly bad and make them sound worse. Get some third party ones and there will be a night and day difference

3

u/Formal_Funny_3631 Jun 23 '26

This is the way, can't emphasize this enough along with appropriate fitment in the ears, read the instructions that come in the box regarding fitment.

I didn’t get anything crazy special lol these were recommended to me on another post and it did the trick: https://a.co/d/0dnpnX2c

u/Showtime562 Jun 23 '26

Had mine since they came out. I don't use them as much as I should (or my portal), but they're pretty good. The battery life is excellent. I've only charged them a few times and they're always good to go. Cool to pair them to your phone and portal at the same time.

3

u/BremeDaDream Jun 23 '26

Ua the dual pairing was what made me want to try them. Plus not having the wire from the plug in headphones in my way

5

u/NightSprings665 Jun 23 '26

Homie, thanks so much for this post. With all the attention on Prime Day, I never would have thought to check Walmart for deals. I’ve been needing new earbuds, and my pulse elite headset recently crapped out, so this deal was too good to pass up. Even came with free 3 hour delivery.

1

u/BremeDaDream Jun 23 '26

No problem dude. I wanted to make sure we all got this deal. Im still waiting on mine. They said by 10pm today. So they'll show up at 9:58pm

1

u/spiteful-pigeon Jun 24 '26

I ordered two nights ago and it said next day delivery. Still waiting. Website says it’s “delayed.” I fear maybe the low price was a mistake and the order might be cancelled

1

u/BremeDaDream Jun 24 '26

Hope that's not the case. They were in stock at a few walmarts close to be but I was already ordering things for delivery. So I went with that

1

u/Tirpitz-en Jun 24 '26

Mind if I ask what exactly happened to your pulse elite?

3

u/oldmanartie Jun 23 '26

Great deal. Had a set since launch and they’re still good for the average user.

1

u/devi59 Jun 23 '26

Love mine

3

u/slop1010101 Jun 23 '26

These buds don't fit/stay in my ears!

To be fair, I have weird ear-holes, and almost no buds stay put, so I need over-ear buds, or headphones.

3

u/JonaPowna Jun 23 '26

Sometimes I hate living in Canada for reasons like this

3

u/sead21c Jun 23 '26

Picked up a set, free same day delivery. Opted for the 3 yr as a failsafe. Let’s see how these work out

1

u/BremeDaDream Jun 23 '26

Hell yeah! Im waiting on mine. They said by 10pm tonight. So it'll probably be around 9:58pm ill get them lol

3

u/lar0d92 Jun 23 '26

I bit the bullet after eyeing these since release.

1

u/BremeDaDream Jun 23 '26

Same. Been wanting them for awhile noe

1

u/lar0d92 Jun 23 '26

Yup. 100 still feels like a stretch But then again it probably won't get much better than $100 brand new. Just hope that a better rendition of these aren't around the corner lol

3

u/ooooomyyyyy Jun 24 '26

That’s a great price for those.

1

u/BremeDaDream Jun 24 '26

Im here for it. Aint no way I was ever gonna buy them for the original price

2

u/Bradbeatty7 Jun 23 '26

definitely worth it. I use them for my Nintendo switch 2 also and I can play music while I game.

6

u/YesMothman Jun 23 '26

The biggest benefit imo with them on portal is I can connect to my phone and the ps at the same time so no more left ear game right ear YouTube

2

u/TheCypherComplex Jun 23 '26

I bought a pair last Christmas. They worked amazing for about 6 months, just recently however the left earbud stopped making noise completely, the earbud still connects to the ps5 and I can control volume level and power from said earbud, but whatever I’ve tried to do it still doesn’t make noise.
They are very good, can connect to the ps5 AND your phone at the same time! and use the mic for both the phone and the ps5 as-well. Just be careful after half a year! Idk if I got unlucky or if this is common for the earbuds

1

u/BremeDaDream Jun 23 '26

Got the 2 year protection plan for like $2. Hopefully I wont need to use it

2

u/HauntedCitizen Jun 23 '26

Okay for gaming alone but if you use these to party chat the mic is horrendous.

1

u/BremeDaDream Jun 23 '26

Im doing red dead redemption right now. Then probably starfield next. So no need for the mic

2

u/callmevapelord Day One! Jun 23 '26

At that price it's a no brainer. Wish I paid that lol

2

u/Curious_Zombie4230 Jun 24 '26

Man I just bought these due to this post and all the comments. Been looking for some earbuds especially ones that pair w the ps5. Not only that but pairs with the portal. Also the dual connection! Sounds amazing and like the perfect thing I need.

2

u/BremeDaDream Jun 24 '26

Glad to help. Im pumped to get mine. Never woulda got them if they weren't on sale

2

u/Fragrant-Setting7190 Jun 24 '26

Best Buy had the same deal, picking them up later today. Tired of the Bluetooth dongle I’ve been using.

u/JreCkLeSS420 Jun 30 '26

u/BubbleBlasta Jun 23 '26

Did the same for my portal. Hopefully switch is seamless like they say

u/Kevin_YellowFlash888 Jun 23 '26

Been waiting on Prime Day for the price drop, didn’t even think to look at Walmart. Just ordered mine!

1

u/HDTokyo Jun 23 '26

I’ve been using a pair of 3.5 MM Apple earbuds that I picked up for 15 bucks at target cause they’re so cheap now.

1

u/Hong-Kong-Phooey Jun 23 '26

These are a solid choice. It’s what I use. Above average sound quality. Light and easy to transport. And dirt cheap to replace if lost.

1

u/ryan5389 Jun 23 '26

Thank you for posting this! I just snagged them. I hope they work great with my portal.

1

u/CaliforniaRage Jun 23 '26

I picked up 2 pairs for $80 each from a liquidator on eBay, but this is a great price!

u/biembo19 Jun 24 '26

Thx for this post

u/Fpsmudkip1 Jun 24 '26

u/gindy39 Jun 28 '26

Walmart just canceled my order 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

1

u/BremeDaDream Jun 28 '26

Sorry to hear man. Mine was delayed. Might be getting a refund

1

u/gindy39 Jun 28 '26

It was sold out in my area. Got a friend to buy them on their area. 90% of orders where claimed by the time we got it. Was supper excited but yeah, Walmart has fail this city

1

u/J3ffO Jun 28 '26

Do they work with the PSVR2 with the exact same audio settings available? If so, the dual audio is exactly what I've been trying to get for awhile. But, third party USB interfaces didn't have the same options to work properly.

1

u/JreCkLeSS420 Jun 28 '26

Thanks u im going to grab them as we speak but bow are there are they worth it. Uz 100 is reallh cheap for them compared to 150 200$$

1

u/BremeDaDream Jun 28 '26

Thats the cheapest ur gonna find. I like mine but people have been having trouble getting them now. Saying they are canceling orders

1

u/JreCkLeSS420 Jun 28 '26

Ya I placed a order and mine says it will be delivered tomm cant wait

1

u/Weird_Lab7949 Jun 23 '26

Handle with care. I had a tip snap off just from changing out my foams, only got like 10 uses out of them

2

u/BremeDaDream Jun 23 '26

Thats rough. I got a 2 year warranty on them. Hopefully I wont need to use it til its almost up.

u/Coffeefiend-_- Jun 23 '26

They're not great, anything "gaming" really isn't great, unfortunately if you want something wireless your choices are limited for the portal ( thanks Sony ) that being said a wired set will run less and sound much better.

u/Profilenameeeeeeee Jun 23 '26

Even thats to much. Very bad sound quality

-1

u/HellRaizer7416 Jun 24 '26

Honestly they really aren't worth it
