Ohh its wired.. I thought its wireless also ..hurm
So wireless only for pc and ps3??

Thanks for the detailed reply! Appreciate it.

I'll be picking one up soon then .

Long time since i've used a pair of headphones, but a new neighbour just moved in , better keep the noise levels down

Also , has anyone tried it with movies? can it replace ordinary 2.1 speakers in terms of Sound quality?

yup, wireless only 4 pc n ps3 cuz it only detect d signal from its usb transmitter

Tried it with a variety of movies, both on the PC and on the PS3.
On the PC, it isn't possible (at least, not through conventional methods) to enable virtual surround sound. However, movies being played back in Stereo is still very good, very high-fidelity providing of course the source of the audio is properly encoded as well.

On the PS3, watching Blu-Ray movies is spectacular. I actually feel that the Pulse is actually built for movies instead of gaming at some point of my testing, it's damn good. Considering when many Blu-ray movies has their audio lossless.
I don't think the PS3 is processing DTS or DD 7.1 or LPCM 7.1 through the wireless USB connector at all, rather just using DD 5.1 audio as its source and relaying it through.

Blu-ray movies on the PS3 I tested were Batman Begins + The Dark Knight, Inception, and The Expendables with Movie preset and Bass Impact at 30-50%.

Batman Begins & The Dark Knight -
Both movies have heavy dialogue, a lot of ambient noises and a good surmount of action scenes. The Pulse performed remarkably and you know what they say, you can 'feel' the demented voice of Heath Ledger's role as the Joker. Action scenes are impactful, highs and mids are highlighted really well with just a touch thin on lows, the bass wasn't deep enough.

Inception -
Not going to say much about this except I watched this movie simply because of the soundtrack and the sound effects that was used — you shouldn't really watch Inception in any other form other than having an actual Home Theatre setup, but with the Pulse it is an acceptable alternative.

The Expendables -
Only tested the last 15 minutes of the movie for the gunshots and two words would sum it up — effin' brilliant. The Pulse is built for action movies, period.

Alright ! Thanks so much again for the effort to review it .

Will definitely get this one

Try listening to this with pulse

great review

of course, it's his job!

Thanks guys. Glad to be of help.




What settings were you using for the song?

lol i tend to forget to adjust my settings so it was at game mode. but after changing it, i find that music and movie had more atmosphere to the sound. i wonder which is better between music and movie..

Just bought pulse elite edition a few days ago.
Eargasmic!

I can feel every explosion!

is it worth to get this pulse headset?

Personally, the best setups for me is either the default Game mode or Movie mode.
Shooter, Fighting, Racing is a little too much as the vibration levels there are presets, the Bass Impact slider only adjusts how intense the vibrations are.

Game, Music and Movie mode allows the Bass Impact slider to decide how often the vibrations occur, which IMO is a much better way of utilizing the headset. The vibration modules in the headset is loud enough that it can be annoying if it overwhelms the volume.


Depending on your budget. If you are willing to fork out up to RM450 only, then yes the Pulse is worth it.
There are still better gaming headsets out there, but they do cost a lot more of course.

how far the distance that the pulse can handle from the ps3?

one living room/one room

Been reading reviews regarding the Pulse and most of em are positives. The Bass Impact kinda intrigue me. They said it's like dual shock in your ears lol .

Might grab a unit tomorrow. Best of all, dont have to deal with wires.

but you can use 3.5mm also, still have to charge with wire tho

Is it possible to use the headset for voice chat but still use the tv's speaker for audio? Some times the family don't wanna watch silent movie..

Can the wireless mode works for PC?
Or only for PS3?

The USB dongle also hooks up to PC so yes you can use it wirelessly with your PC. Just don't lose the dongle.
