AH Real Deal: PlayStation Pulse Explore Sees Rare $30 Discount

Sony’s PlayStation Pulse Explore earbuds are a must-have accessory if you own the PlayStation Portal, but they rarely go on sale which makes them sort of expensive at $199.99. Luckily, Best Buy now has these available on sale for $30 off. This means if you act fast you can pick them up and have a pair of your very own for just $169.99. While these were designed with the PlayStation Portal in mind, they also connect to devices via Bluetooth.

Because of the Bluetooth connectivity, you can use these with anything that accepts Bluetooth audio devices. That means tablets, phones, and even your desktop or laptop. Even a handheld device like the ROG Ally X or Nintendo Switch. You can also use these with your PS5 with the included PlayStation Link USB adapter. So you can pretty much use them with any device you play games on.

The nice thing about using them with the PlayStation Portal is that you don’t need that adapter. The Portal has PlayStation Link technology baked in. So these just connect to it wirelessly. For everything else, there’s the adapter or the Bluetooth connectivity.

The real benefit of these is that they come with planar magnetic drivers. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a better listening experience than with something that has planar magnetic drivers in it. And if you really want to amp up your game audio, then give these a shot. The battery life on these things lasts for up to 5 hours on a single charge. When the battery dies, pop these in the charging case and stick that case in your pocket.

These feature Active Noise Cancellation too, and they have AI-noise rejection so your voice comes through clearly in chat.
