Easy, to know if u're in surround mode or not, once u're connected to the ps3, press on the virtual surround button on the top left of the headset, then see the on screen notification. If u see the headset icon got circle surrounding it means u are on virtual surround mode, if without means u're not. Sorry i could not join u for FIFA13 yesterday, Busy FUT. Tonight let's play with MIC on ok?

haha it's okay, cannot confirm, see i got play other games with friend or not first

Anymore reviews from fellow LYN gamers on the 7.1 Pulse Elite?

Planning to bring in few sets. Mmm..

bring in few sets? gimme one

i'm not good at reviewing thing

bass impact my head is shaking lol....

tested it on RE6...VSS mode is awesome
but i couldn't hear my friend chat with me...
need to turned off VSS mode

On the Pulse Elite, I think the VSS works well enough, but not enough to know exactly where things are most of the time, like which direction you're getting shot from. Or maybe it's my ears.
Also, i think the volume could be louder, i put it on max volume playing bordelands 2 and that wasn't too overpowering.
Haven't tried the mic though.
Those are the cons i can think of, which i think aren't that bad, love everything else about 'em though.

Did you turn up the voice chat volume slider?



Yes, the volume output is a little bit underwhelming for me too — but to each its own, some people may find it too loud.
The VSS isn't as accurate as Turtle Beach's DSS/DSS2 as well. Understandable, Sony isn't using any Dolby Headphone technology here... hence, they don't need to pay royalties and raising the price of the headphone.

yea...i put slider voice chat to sound at max

well, it really loud and clear now

hahaha

i love the pulse elite headset. i tried using it on Vita, and the sound is amazing. Playing it with DJ Max Technika Tune is even better with the quality of sound, damn satisfied with it

Yup, agreed with that, for the price, the headphones are pretty damn good.

i'd say the pulse is value for money, great headset for a price of rm400, the bassimpact feature is awesome!

got 3.5mm also right?

yup, that's another reason why i love this headset, can use wireless when on pc/ps3, or can listen to music on ipod when not on wireless
the wire is not very long, but more than enough if wanna use the headphone with phone/ ipod in pants pocket

if the price is 350 and i haven't buy the first gen i will buy the pulse. so leceh if wanna listen music from phone, connect phone to laptop, and can only do it if you got both at the same time

Sometimes i notice a drop of sound output when playing with the Pulse, like when playing borderlands 2 and firing like crazy, the sound would just drop for a second then pick up again as usual. Not sure what's up with my headphones or has anyone experienced this?
I'm not sure if it's busted because the sound drop is seldom and other than that it functions superbly, as it should.

A lot of other wireless interference around your place?
Understand that the wireless USB connector is running on a 2.4ghz frequency... so if you have a lot of wireless interference, like modem/routers, mobile devicies, microwave, cordless phones, etc. etc, then your audio dropping is normal.

Wouldn't have mind Sony raising the price to $179 just to include 5ghz support for their wireless support, would have solved all wireless interference issues.

Here's also hoping in the next few firmwares, Sony would allow higher volume outputs to the Pulse headset.

Interference might be it, i've got a router and handphones near. Hope that is just the case.
And yeah, if they increase the vol output through future updates, that would be awesome.

how is the pulse in terms of comfort? heard from some reviews it gets warm after 30 minutes?

Depends how big your head and ears are. It didn't get too warm for me when I took it through a continuous battery stress test (about ~6 hours).
Most importantly, it didn't make my ears sweat or did I get any headaches (BassImpact at 40-60% with default Game preset).

Though the headband could be a little bit uncomfortable for some due to its 2-piece design and the layer of padding not being thick and plush enough.

Conclusion for comfort, personally... I think the Pulse ranks as one of the most comfortable gaming headsets out there now.

The only thing Sony can improve on the comfort is the use of memory foam on the ear cups and a 1-piece with plush padding for the headband.
