Sony is releasing its Pulse 3D Audio headset in midnight black

 

Sony Pulse 3D Audio headset

Sony's Pulse 3D Audio wireless headset, which takes advantage of the PS5's 3D Audio technology, now comes in a new color. It'll be available in midnight black and white, as well as white, for the same $99.99 price as last year's DualSense controller. The majority of the white headset coloring was previously black, but now there's much more of it, with black details surrounding the headband.  You can preorder it now through Sony’s site, and it will be available on October 22nd, 2021, however, it will most likely be available at other retailers as well.

In the PlayStation Blog, this announcement corresponds with a new PS5 update that gives Pulse 3D Audio headset owners more sound customization options. You'll have three audio settings to choose from (shooter, bass boost, and standard), as well as the ability to build your own. When you press the PS button on the controller, the Control Center menu appears, and you may adjust the EQ settings from there.

More colorways are always better, but this news begs me to ask aloud if Sony’s next step is to make official replacement plates for the PS5 itself. Dedicated gamers who buy the midnight black DualSense and Pulse 3D Audio headset might be wishing that their PS5’s stark white color had plates to match. There are solutions out there, like Dbrand’s third-party plates and stickers, but it seems like such an obvious opportunity that Sony hasn’t jumped on yet. If it’s concerned about the difficulty of replacing them, it shouldn’t be. After all, if Sony can trust its users enough to go through the not-so-simple process of installing their own M.2 SSDs, swapping plates should be a relative breeze, right?
