I am not sure how well they would connect and sound for the PS5, haven't tested it yet.
The sound stage is really nice. Very immersive, but not particularly loud or bass heavy. Battery lasts for hours. At least 4 hours or more on a single charge while playing.
I think at $150 it's not a bad price for the Portal.
Community Reviews
The PULSE Explore earbuds stand out most for PlayStation Portal and PS5 use, with fast pairing, low lag, and immersive sound that works especially well in supported 3D audio games. Battery life is solid, and they can also handle PC use, with some setups even allowing phone audio for podcasts while gaming. The main drawbacks are comfort, which can be poor without the right fit, and volume or bass that may feel underwhelming for some. At $149.99, they feel best suited to Portal focused gaming rather than general wireless earbuds.
Common Questions (5)
Yes. They connect immediately to the PS Portal without a USB dongle or Bluetooth setup and are described as especially strong in the PlayStation ecosystem. The soundstage is immersive, and they can be a solid fit if Portal use is the main goal.
They can get very loud for some games, but they are also described as not especially bass-heavy. A few users found them too quiet for their taste, so loudness may depend on fit, volume settings, and what you are comparing them against.
Battery life is reported at 3 to 4+ hours per charge during gaming sessions. That is enough for typical play sessions, though longer sessions may still require a recharge.
They had launch-era connectivity issues, but those are reported to have been fixed for many users. If drops still happen, moving the dongle to a front USB port on the PS5 is reported to help.
Comfort is a common weak point, especially for in-ear users. The included tips are reported to be too short for some ears, and following the fit instructions or swapping tips can help reduce ear pain.

A lot of people complained about connection problems, and I ran into those at the start too. But I noticed once I swapped the dongle to front usb port, I never got a drop again after that.
The usb port on the back of my ps5 would be really hot, and I guess that's maybe what led to connection drops.
Besides that, the lifecycle of the batteries in these have been great for me. Survives 3 hours gt7 sessions with no issues.
Whoever's complaining about them not being loud enough is nuts though.
These things SCREAM when I was playing Saros at max volume.
Overall, I'd say 7/10 for my use, that's also since I use them with my portal a lot. But I'd hold out for 125 for the average user.
