The Pulse 3D comes with a wireless adapter for connecting to a PC or Apple Mac series in addition to PlayStation.3.A 5mm headphone cable is also included, so you can connect to any device with an audio jack.However, basically most other headphones can enjoy stereo sounds.The appeal of Pulse 3D is that you can experience Sony's unique "Tempest 3D audio technology", but this function can only be used when the headset is connected to PS5.Tempest 3D is a new system in which the sound assigned to a specific object in the game changes due to its relative positions.This allows players to enjoy the feeling of deeply immersed in the game world.The stunning point is that all of them are realized only with software.The mechanism requires a fairly complicated explanation, but thankfully, Tempest 3D supports most stereo headsets.Even a headphone without surround sound can enjoy the feeling of moving in the 3D space while listening to the audio, regardless of whether it is connected to the Internet.This is a half -hearted Pulse 3D position.Despite the meaningful product name, you can enjoy the splendor of the Tempest 3D system even if it is not this Sony headset.Moreover, most headsets can be used for wired or wireless.In other words, Sony products must compete with the value of the hardware itself.For a reasonable price, the Pulse 3D sounds a powerful bass and conveys a crisp and precise sound in a scene.When connected to PS5, the equalizer can be adjusted from three types: "standard", "base boost", and "shooter".It is a convenient function that allows you to fine -tune the sound quality according to your preference, and change the settings in the same procedure even if you change your mind later.However, unfortunately, the Pulse 3D has no elastic microphone.Therefore, I am not good at picking up the voice of the user from the surrounding noise.If you have many opportunities to play in a noisy place, you should consider other products.
