ThePS5celebrates its third birthday this week, andPlayStationis doing a lot to mark the occasion. A slimmer model of the console goes on sale tomorrow, thePlayStation Portalwill be available next week, and two new accessories that can be used with both, as well as the regular version of the console, are now available for pre-order. The Pulse Explore Earbuds and the Pulse Elite Headset, both of which were revealed alongside the Portal.
The Pulse Explore earbuds are PlayStation’s first crack at earbuds, and because of the tech that has gone into them, they’re going to cost you. The earbuds are available at various retailers through the links below for $199.99. That might seem like a lot for earbuds, but a lot has gone into them considering their size. There’s a mic in each so you can communicate with friends while playing online, and something PlayStation has labeled AI noise rejection which aims to drown out anything that you don’t need to hear.
The Pulse Explore Earbuds boast five hours of battery life and an additional ten hours when kept in their case. The only downside is how quickly I’m bound to lose one.
PlayStation has already had a few attempts at headsets with pretty impressive results. The Elite Headset is also quite a bit cheaper than the earbuds, retailing at $149.99. Again available from various retailers through the links below. Boasting the same AI noise rejection tech as the earbuds, the headset has a retractable mic as opposed to the two microphones the earbuds have.
Even though pre-orders for both the earbuds and the headset are now open, neither will be with you right away. The earbuds will be released on December 6, so not long to wait and the perfect holiday gift if you have someone in your life who needs them. The wait for the headset will be a significantly longer one as it won’t ship until Jun 08, 2025.

The Pulse Elite Headset fully utilizes any games that make the most of the PS5’s 3D audio, and it also boats AI-enhanced noise rejection technology to drown out the majority of background noise. It also comes with a fully retractable mic.

PlayStation’s first set of earbuds are the Pulse Explore Wireless earbuds. Coming with a carry case and equipped with AI-enhanced noise rejection technology, the earbuds are also equipped with mics so you can communicate with other people while playing online.
If you’re saving your money for the slimmer PS5, the wait is almost over. The new models will be available starting from November 10 andstores have been preparing their pagesready for what might well be an onslaught of people eager to own a slightly smaller PS5.
