I just use the old pulse 3d headphones. They have a wired option so I plug it into the portal.

Does the mic work? So you just get a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm cable and leave the dongle in the ps5?

@@NewMateo I am not sure if the mic works. The 3.5 mm cable comes in the box and yes you can leave the dongle in the ps5. You can actually keep the headset powered off and it will still work as long as the wire is plugged into your device.

You did an entire review of all the options and not ONCE covered if the onboard microphones work for party chat.

Dear world. Please stop with this thumbnail design. It’s bad. No one wants to see your face before every video. Thanks 🙏

I have the Pulse Explore buds. While they do sound great, I have sooo many connection issues. Sound drop on one or both happens at least once every 30 mins or so. It generally fixes itself after a second or two, but it’s incredibly annoying. This happens on the PS5 as well as when I’m on my PC. Wish I knew a legit way to fix this!
