Sony PS3 Pulse Wireless headset

"This headset is the best wireless headset I have ever purchased." - Chaython Meredith Audio fidelity - This Headset has great audio quality something any audiophile would love; The bass is deep and there is presets for different type of games movies or music so that you will have the best VSS(virtual Surround Sound) gaming experience. The downside to the rumble packs is the extra bulky side plates, lower battery life and the rumble every low frequency just right; The headsets VSS is not as attractive as the physical surround and virtual surround of competitors but being at the lower end of gaming headset costs it is okay; the built in microphone is listed as a high quality mic from the sony page but it sounds like any cheap built in mic (my Xbox kinect mic has higher fidelity and less interdependence);
The Dongle-The wireless also has a few quirks to it such as the random loss of sound from something such as other radio frequencies and random exterior noise that brake the frequency also the wireless dongle is pretty big and has an annoying blue LED this headset also runs on a 2.4ghz frequency so you have to have that usb dongle for wireless connectivity there is no bluetooth or any other way of sending the frequency the dongle does however have an auxiliary port to plug other output devices into it (I plug it into my stereo).

Best Uses- I found the best use for this headset was for listening to music but I will only get 4 hours of life on 3/4 full volume but when it dies you can have just direct output from your device which loses some fidelity and the rumble pack feature the headset
What else comes with(quality of these items)- comes with an auxiliary cord but no usb to charge the headset. The auxiliary cord that was supplied with my copy of this product did pull out of the connecting header sadly so I have no mobile audio platform as all my other cords are too long and annoying to carry.

The Verdict: 8/10
