The New Wireless Audio Technology from PlayStation, the PlayStation Link
The Pulse Elite and Pulse Explore can directly connect to the PlayStation Portal using a new wireless audio technology called PlayStation Link. This technology provides quick connections, high-quality audio without delays, and smooth transitions between different PlayStation Link devices. You can use it with various hosts like the PS5 using the USB adapter and the PlayStation Portal.
When using the Pulse Elite and Pulse Explore with the PS5, you’ll need to use the USB adapter that comes with each headset and earbuds for the PlayStation Link connection. This USB adapter can also be bought separately. It works not only with the PS5 but also with PCs and Macs. This way, you can connect the Pulse Elite or Pulse Explore to experience the same high-quality audio without delays on those devices as well.
Both the Pulse Elite and Pulse Explore can connect at the same time to a device that supports PlayStation Link (such as PS5, PC, Mac, or PlayStation Portal) and a device that supports Bluetooth. For instance, the Pulse Explore can be connected to a PS5 (using the USB adapter) through PlayStation Link while also being connected to a mobile phone via Bluetooth, all at once. This means that while playing on the PS5, players can immediately take a phone call and hear it through the same Pulse Explore earbuds.
You Need Wireless Connection to Enable Certain Features to Work
Please note that the haptic feedback and adaptive trigger features work only if the game being played supports these features. You need a Wi-Fi connection with a minimum speed of 5Mbps in order to use this feature. For a smoother playing experience, it’s recommended to have a faster connection of at least 15Mbps.
