Sony adds Pulse and Pulse Edge headsets with planar magnetic drivers to PlayStation lineup

Sony has announced two new wireless gaming headsets, the PlayStation Pulse and Pulse Edge, both using planar magnetic drivers and PlayStation Link connectivity for low-latency audio across PS5, PlayStation Portal, PC and Mac. Both include AI-based noise-rejecting microphones, while the pricier Pulse Edge adds double the magnets for deeper bass, active noise cancellation, and a detachable boom mic. Neither headset has a release date or price yet, though existing Pulse Elite and Audeze Maxwell 2 pricing suggests a range between roughly $150 and $330.
