PS5 Accessories That Are A Total Waste Of Money

Though this pick might be surprising to some, the Pulse headphones aren’t really worth your money. These headphones were made by Sony specifically for the PlayStation 5, and they’re decent headphones — but there are better options out there for the same price.

Sony’s Pulse headphones are capable of delivering a 3D audio experience that you expect while playing games on the PS5. But many other headphones are capable of this as well, so what makes the Pulse headphones special? Their aesthetic matches that of the PS5 console, but there are other headphones with a black, white, and blue design. Plus, if you buy some new cover plates for your PS5, the Pulse headphones might not even match your console anymore.

These headphones work seamlessly with the PlayStation 5, and — with the detachable 3.5 millimeter cable — fairly well with any device that has a headphone jack, like the Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, some smartphones, and computers. Unfortunately, they’re not equipped with Bluetooth, which is how many of us use headphones with our smartphones and computers. For this reason alone, it’s worth investing in another pair of wireless headphones that can connect with all your devices, not just your PS5.
