PlayStation Link is PlayStation's new wireless audio technology
PULSE Elite and PULSE Explore will utilize PlayStation Link, a new wireless audio technology, to connect directly to the PlayStation Portal. This innovation provides low-latency, distortion-free audio and easy switching between multiple PlayStation Link consoles, such as PS5 and PlayStation Portal using USB adapters.
When using the PULSE Elite and PULSE Explore with the PS5, PlayStation Link requires the USB adapter that comes with each headset and earbuds. The PlayStation Link USB Converter will also be sold as a standalone item and will be available for computers and Macs, so players can connect to PULSE Elite or PULSE Explore to experience the same distortion-free, low-latency audio.
Both PULSE Elite and PULSE Explore can be connected to both PlayStation Link-enabled devices (PS5, computer, Mac or PlayStation Portal) and Bluetooth-enabled devices. For example, PULSE Explore can be connected to a PS5 via PlayStation Link (via a USB adapter) and Bluetooth to a phone. When playing on PS5, players can immediately receive and listen to calls from the same PULSE Explore headsets.
