Sony Pulse Elevate Wireless Speakers Revealed for Gamers
During its recent State of Play broadcast, Sony unveiled another unique audio product the Pulse Elevate wireless speakers. Launching the following year, these speakers connect with several devices, including PlayStation 5, PC, Mac, and the PlayStation Portal remote player.
Core Audio Technology
As for core features of Pulse Elevate speakers, these employ studio-inspired planar magnetic drivers, which, according to Sony, are to reproduce very realistic sound characterized by rich full range. Woofer units are further included in these speakers to give an enriching bass tone to the sound for a balanced soundstage. The driver technology should enhance the gaming experience with PS5, utilizing the Tempest 3D AudioTech and providing accurate audio placement in space.

- Portable: With its own built-in rechargeable battery, the speakers can easily go mobile with a PlayStation Portal (via PlayStation Link) or other mobile products (via Bluetooth).
- Charging Dock: The whole package comes with a charging dock that can be placed reliably and be powered in a desktop setup.
