Sony has set a price and a date for the PlayStation Pulse Wireless Headset, a $99.99 device arriving November 19th, the same day as the long-awaited GTA VI. It is one more small step in the familiar cycle of console makers refining the accessories that accompany their machines, with a more capable sibling, the Pulse Edge, still waiting in the wings for 2027. Its real measure will be how the two models eventually differ, and whether the first one finds its place among players.
Sony's PlayStation Pulse Wireless Headset Gets $99.99 Price and November 19 Release Date
Sony has set a price and a date for the PlayStation Pulse Wireless Headset, a $99.99 device arriving November 19th, the same day as the long-awaited GTA VI. It is one more small step in the familiar cycle of console makers refining the accessories that accompany their machines, with a more capable sibling, the Pulse Edge, still waiting in the wings for 2027. Its real measure will be how the two models eventually differ, and whether the first one finds its place among players.
Sony has announced that its PlayStation Pulse Wireless Headset will retail for $99.99 and reach shelves on November 19th. Pre-orders open at 10AM ET on October 29th, giving eager buyers about a week to act.
The launch date is not a quiet one. November 19th is also GTA VI's release day, so the headset arrives on one of the most closely watched days of the year in gaming.
The Pulse was first unveiled in September alongside a step-up model, the Pulse Edge, which Sony says adds active noise cancellation and a detachable boom mic. This week's news concerns only the Pulse. The Edge has no price or date yet, though Sony plans to launch it in 2027 and promises more details beforehand.
For now, the dates to remember are October 29th for pre-orders and November 19th for release. The next thing to watch is how Sony prices the Edge, which will reveal how far apart the two headsets are meant to sit.
Sony has put a price and a date on its new PlayStation Pulse Wireless Headset. The recommended retail price is $99.99, and the headset goes on sale November 19th. Pre-orders open at 10AM ET on October 29th.
The release date is not a quiet one. November 19th is also the day GTA VI launches, which puts the headset on shelves on one of the most closely watched days on the gaming calendar this year.
The Pulse Wireless Headset was first announced in September, when Sony introduced a new line of audio products for the PS5 on the PlayStation Blog. That announcement covered two models: the Pulse and a step-up version called the Pulse Edge. This week's news concerns only the first of them.
The Pulse Edge is the more feature-heavy model. According to Sony, it includes active noise cancellation and a detachable boom mic. It has no price or release date yet. Sony says it plans to launch it next year, and it has promised to share more details ahead of that launch.
So the lineup now has a clear order. The Pulse Wireless Headset comes first, at $99.99, with a pre-order window that opens in about a week. The Pulse Edge follows in 2027, and its price will show how far apart Sony intends to set the two models.
For anyone planning to buy, the dates to hold onto are October 29th at 10AM ET, when pre-orders open, and November 19th, when the headset is released. The next thing to watch for is Sony's promised word on the Pulse Edge.
