PlayStation has significantly dropped the price of its Pulse Explore earbuds for a limited time. Typically retailing for an MSRP of $199.99 and rarely going on sale, you can currently pick up a pair for only $99.
If you want to bag yourself a pair of the Pulse earbuds for a lot less than you’d typically have to pay, you’re going to have to go to Amazon to do it. There, you’ll hopefully find the earbuds in stock if you’ve seen them in time, but you might not see any indication of how much they cost on the store page.
Just how much you’ll save won’t be revealed until you’ve added the earbuds to your cart. A common practice when it comes to price cuts on products like this. I’d just recommend you triple check that you actually are getting the earbuds for $99 before you proceed to the vitual checkout and pay for them. While the reduction is most definitely in effect at the time this article was published, there’s no indication of when the earbuds will return to full price.
$99 is the cheapest the PS5 earbuds have ever been available for by quite some distance. While they have been on sale before, their price has seemingly never dropped below $149.99, whether that be when bought directly from PlayStation, or through a third party such as Amazon.
The earbuds were released in 2023 at the same time as the PlayStation Portal and the Pulse Elite headset. Although the earbuds were kind of marketed as a companion piece for the Portal, they’re compatible with the PS5 and utilize the console’s 3D audio with compatible games.
The earbuds boast up to five hours of battery life, and the charging case they come with provides an additional ten hours of battery. They also have a built-in mic for speaking with others while playing online, and volume controls on the earbuds themselves that are easy to use.
