Question 1

Can you charge these while wearing them?

Accepted Answer

That's a great question!  According to the user manual,  you should be able to charge this headset while in use.  There's always that possibility that Sony made some sort of hardware or firmware change that negated that functionality on headsets manufactured after I purchased my pair, but I don't know of any changes.  The Sony Pulse wireless headset is an excellent choice of audio equipment not only for its sound quality, but also for it's increased utility.  Meaning it not only can be used on PS3, but also can be used on PC's, MP3's and smart-phones.  The wireless mic is built into the left earpiece,  has its own separate volume and mute controls and has excellent voice pick-up.  Overall, I don't have a bad thing to say or a bad experience to convey about this headset.

Question 2

Do these work with PS4?

Accepted Answer

Yes they do work with the PS4, however there is a little setting up to do first. Sony has not released the app for them yet and they will not work from the USB port just yet.

To get them to work you have to plug in the audio jack that came with the headset into the controller and set up on your PS4 all audio to come out of the controller.

Until Sony releases the update to make these (and all other USB headsets) this is the only way to get around that cheap earpiece they give you.

Question 3

How long does a charge last on a fully charged head set?
My current Sony head set last's maybe 2.5 - 3.0 hrs.

Accepted Answer

That is a very good question!  My current estimates rate usage to be somewhere around 4 to 6 hours continual.  That average will increase, of course, if you just play for an hour or two then turn them off.  There's also a factor that not everyone considers and that is this:  The bass vibration use will always cut down on battery time.  So, if you're going to play a game where you don't need the bass vibrato then just turn that off.  If you're just listening to music on your apple or android device, then the bass vibrato isn't used at all.  Point is, is there are numerous ways to use this excellent piece of gaming hardware and all uses will impact battery life.

Question 4

does it work with a PC?

Accepted Answer

yes, it works with pc, ps3 and ps4. Also bonus it has a pass through on the usb dongle so if your TV has a headphone audio jack you can use it with your TV and anything connected to it ie: movies, xbox 360/one etc.

Question 5

Can these be used to watch TV ?

Accepted Answer

Yes however here what you need.

Audio out/Headphone Jack from TV plugged into USB adapter.
USB adapter plugged into a USB port such as something you would charge an iphone or something.
Power them on.

Question 6

anyone think the sound quality is great? better than Dr.Dre Beats? Better than Turtle Beach?

Accepted Answer

Hi ya, Tyler.  In my honest opinion, the sound quality is excellent.  In comparing with the Dr. Dre Beats, just consider that the beats are just audio headphones where the pulse is a gaming headset complete with built in microphone, circumaural surround sound and a "forced feedback" bass audio simulation.  In comparing to the Turtle Beach, just consider that there are different varieties of the Turtle Beach headsets and amongst themselves alone have both positive and negative qualities.  Personally, I would choose the Sony Pulse over both the Dr. Dre Beats and Turtle Beach.  They're comfortable, sound awesome, charge up rather quickly and will charge while in use and, furthermore, help to immerse the gamer into the game unlike many other gaming headsets I've owned and I've been a gamer over 30+ years!

Question 7

Will this work on my LG 3?

Accepted Answer

The cord that comes supplied with the Sony Pulse headset will work with phones. I cannot specifically say it will work for the LG3, however, I know it works with the I phone, and it worked on an LG 5. I assume it should work with your LG3 as well. Hope this helps you out.

Question 8

May I know if the item  is New in box and unused?
Refurbished You?

Accepted Answer

The item I purchased was new and not refurbished. I also purchased the extended warranty which came in handy as the original headphones cracked by the ear. Good Luck!

Question 9

model number?

Accepted Answer

I don't know. My son threw the box away. All u know is that he likes them & they have great sound. The mic works great too.

Question 10

Can you receive audio from multiple sources at the same time? I want to be able to use these with my PS4 while chatting on PC with Teamspeak. Basically, could I use the wireless dongle to get sound from the PS4 and at the same time use the 3.5mm jack to connect to my computer?

Accepted Answer

To be honest, I have not thought about using this headset in such a manner as you're requesting.  That said, I have doubts that the Sony Pulse Wireless Headset would be able to process different audio inputs like this.  The reason I say this, is that in order to successfully carry out mixing the different audio signals, you'd need a device that can "mix" those signals together.  That's why we have gaming hardware like the Plantronics RIG headset with it's mixamp device and the Astro line of gaming headsets that have their own mixamp devices respectively...plus other headsets with mixamp devices that are available.  Furthermore, along with those headsets with their mixamp devices, you have control over voice and gaming volumes from multiple sources that I doubt you'll have with this headset.  If you may see or hear otherwise, let us know so that we can stay informed about this headset.
