Priced at $199.99 at Best Buy and Amazon, the Sony Pulse Explore is a new pair of true wireless earbuds specifically designed for the PS5, PS5 Slim and PS5 Portal. These accessories offer excellent gaming audio that’s crisp, full and immersive with deep and rumbling bass, while it comes with a USB dongle that plugs directly into the back of the console to provide a low latency wireless audio connection with practically zero lag.
Meanwhile, the earbuds have a clever hidden microphone design that lets gamers chat with teammates and opponents online. They’re also compatible with Mac and PC, as well as Apple iPhone and Android mobile devices via Bluetooth.

In addition, Sony PS5 Pulse Explore comes with a sleek sliding USB-C charging case that serves as storage for the wireless earbuds and supplemental battery life. Although the earbuds themselves have a battery life of up to five hours per charge, their included charging case gives them an extra battery life of up to 10 hours. That’s up to 15 hours of charge in total, which is more than enough to complete games such as The Last of Us, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Stray, Ratchet & Clank, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and others.
The Sony PS5 Pulse Explore Wireless Earbuds come out on Wednesday, Dec. 6. They’re available for $199.99 at Best Buy, PlayStation Direct, Target and Amazon (you can also find them on resale sites such as StockX). In the meantime, watch a trailer for the new earbuds (and the upcoming Sony Pulse Elite gaming headset), below:

The global superstars took part in Samsung’s “Say Yes to Galaxy Buds” campaign, which saw each of the group members holding the Buds Live earbuds case like a ring box, before opening up the case to “propose” with a pair of the glossy buds.

Now, Samsung’s wireless earbuds are available at their lowest price this year, on sale for just $70 on Amazon (as of this writing). You can get the Galaxy Buds Live for an additional $40 discount on Samsung.com when you trade in an old pair of earbuds, bringing the price down to just $59. Compare that to Apple’s AirPods Pro, which tend to hover around the $200 range.
The Galaxy Buds Live are one of the best wireless earbuds for music lovers, with AKG-tuned audio for crystal clear, studio-quality sound. Get enhanced bass, with crisp mids and highs, for a concert-like, wide open soundspace.

Unlike some of the other earbuds on the market, Samsung’s Buds Live come with Active Noise Cancellation, which lets you tune out external noise, to focus in on the music. The ANC feature helps to block out airplane noise, traffic noise and even conversations around you (say, if you’re on the subway or at work). Tap the side of the buds if you need to hear something — say, a co-worker’s question or a flight announcement — then tap it again to get back to your tunes.
A single charge gets you up to six hours of playtime; get 21 hours with the included charging case.
BTS promoted a white, “mystic bronze” and black colorway in their Galaxy Buds Live commercial in 2020; Samsung has since added a bold “mystic red” colorway as well (on sale for just $99 as well). The company calls the Buds Live “equal parts earbuds and ear bling,” thanks to their glossy finish and the accompanying jewel-toned charging and storage case.
