PlayStation’s new range of Pulse headphones for the PS5 will launch in Australia over the next few months, and preorders are now live.
The range, which consists of the over-ear Pulse Elite Wireless Headset and Pulse Explore Wireless Earbuds, will get a staggered release in Australia starting in December.
The Pulse Explore Wireless Earbuds will launch first on December 6, 2023. Sony says the Pulse Elite Wireless Headset will launch “in early 2024,” though every retailer I’ve checked for this piece has dated it for February 21. Could the Pulse Elite Pro’s launch date coincide with the still-unannounced Australian launch of the new PS5 Slim? It wouldn’t shock me in the least. The PlayStation Link USB Adapter used to connect the devices to your PS5 will be included with both the Pulse Elite and Pulse Explore, but can be purchased separately. It will also launch in December in case you want to pick up a spare.
You might have thought that the over-ear cans would be the more expensive of the two units, but you’d be wrong about that. Here’s what you’ll be paying when the new PS5 Pulse range arrives in Australia.
