Sony has decided to change the drivers of the Pulse Elite. Originally it was the same as the normal 7.1 headset. The Pulse now has higher fidelity drivers, still utilizes 50mm cans though.

Too bad they stuck with faux leather, would have been nice if there's a  cloth-mesh version.

I'll confirm that soon, waiting for a unit so I can test it out. From others who has already got their hands on it, they're saying the build quality is solid and is more flexible than its predecessor.

It's awesumh.. Feels real solid in my hands. Sorry I don't have any to compare to, as this is my first headset. The pulse is kinda powerful, can feel the thump. Mic is also clear, the cool thing is it's hidden.. No need to worry if the boom mic will become loose. Overall, I'm glad I've waited this long for the 2nd generation to arrive.

ehh....you brought it today?

bought it on the same month of its launch day...

le me iz sad.....

sorry but noob question here ; can pulse's wireless function be used on pc as well ? never owned a wireless headset b4

mine started peel off jugak ~

bought on launching week

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?

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

Planning to bring in few sets. Mmm..

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

well, it really loud and clear now

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

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

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.

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

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.

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