En reddit un tío se ha pillado los dos y ha hecho una review comparándolos.
Review is here
Ok, here we go. Disclaimer, I’m not a audiophile at all. My idea of amazing headphones are the Sony WH-1000XM3. I’ll do my best to explain the sound quality and not sound like an idiot.
Games played during tests:
Call of Duty Cold War campaign and multiplayer, Demon Souls, and Spider-Man MM. 19 hours total.
Price:
Pulse are $100, 7ps are $150.
Winner - Pulse
Physical Quality:
Pulse’s are made out of a matte plastic with faux leather earcups and a thick rubber self adjusting head band. 7ps are made of metal and plastic body with a Velcro strap for adjusting, and a felt mesh material on the ear cups. The ear cups are also rotating, as opposed to the stiff unibody Pulses. The metal alone make these feel more durable, though the Pulses look more luxury imho, but this is mostly due to the button placement, leather, and matte finish. The white on the 7ps are different than the white on the dualsense and ps5 which is a little annoying. Winner - 7p
Comfort:
I’d say I have an average male head size, but my ears may a bit on the bigger than average size. Both of these are comfortable and didn’t cause any pain after ~9 hours with each. I also wear glasses. The ear cups on the 7ps are larger and rotate. Those 2 things alone contribute to a more comfortable fit. The Pulses started to cause sweat a little as well as leave some of my ear lobes hanging out.
Winner - 7p
Connectivity:
Both use 2.4ghz WiFi wireless to connect to a dongle inserted into the ps5. Pulse use usb-a for wireless dongle and usb-c to charge. 7ps use usb-c for dongle and micro-usb for charging. Such a stupid decision for steelseries to go micro-usb. I would have really liked to only use one usb-c cable to charge all my ps5 accessories. Both have ability to use normal headphone jacks. Winner - Pulse
Buttons:
This will vary person to person. But after 10 hours on the Pulses, I still cannot find the volume button on first try while playing the game. The buttons are almost flush with the right ear cup and there’s about 6 buttons on the ear cup: volume rocker, game/chat mix rocker, mute, power. The 7ps have a volume dial and mute button on the left cup, a side tone dial and power button on the right cup. Simple and easy to find each time. Winner - 7p
Software Integration:
This is probably obvious but the Pulses have great system integration. The audio automatically switches when powering on/off the headset. There’s also a battery indicator that shows on-screen. The game/chat mix buttons also works great. My only con is that you can’t use the controller’s mute button when using the Pulses wirelessly, which I would prefer over fishing for the mute on the headset. The 7ps don’t have any integration outside of the ps5 recognizing when you have the dongle plugged in. Winner - Pulse
Battery:
Pulse claims 12hours of battery, 7p claims 24 hours. Both stayed powered during my tests. Winner - 7p
Microphone:
I’m going to use my online friends opinions here. “The Pulse sounds like you are speaking inside of a can. I can hear you fine but it’s not as good as your other ones (referring to my 7 year old Turtle Beaches). Are you popping popcorn?”. The Pulses don’t have an external microphone, which contribute to the low mic quality. They also seem to pickup a lot of outside noises like me popping popcorn. I found that they produce a much better mic quality when plugged into the controller, but that defeats the purpose of wireless headsets.
“These (7ps) sound perfectly clear. Much better.” The external retractable mic is pretty cool and seemingly very functional. Winner - 7p
Sound:
Surprisingly, the sound quality of these are pretty comparable. Neither of these are going to blow you away. Listening to music on these are a waste of time. They are not very loud unless you crank the volume all the way up. The bass is nonexistent and the mids fall flat as well. The 7ps are a tad bit louder than the Pulses, but this comes with a caveat. I did notice while playing call of duty that the 7p’s tend to sound distorted when cranked all the way up. The levels of the explosions and gun shots created a very scratchy and crappy sound in the 7ps. This may be a matter of balancing out the ps5 software volume levels and the headset physical volume, but this would need to be balanced every time I change games which is undesirable. 3D audio is not a gimmick, it is amazing. Hearing enemies walking behind me in Call of Duty saved my ass multiple times. The campaign is unmatched in immersion due to the Dualsense controller coupled with 3D audio. Demon Souls is a blast with headphones on. Some people have noted that 3D audio is a software feature making it available on all headsets used with the ps5, however, my turtle beaches do not produce the same level of 3D audio as the Pulses or the 7ps. It may be a wireless headset thing, idk. The Pulses have better noise cancellation. The faux leather ear cups seals in sound a bit better which also makes for a “fuller” sound than the 7ps. There’s no sidetone on them however. The 7ps have very functional sidetone which is pretty important for someone like me that has bothersome kids.
Winner - tie
In summary, the comfort difference, battery life, and quality microphone make the 7ps worth the extra $50 for me. I’m pretty sad about missing the software integration, as its pretty annoying having to manually switch audio outputs every time I turn the headset on/off. I also expect sony to push out software updates for Pulse which may make them have even better integration and immersion. If my budget stopped at $100, I would be happy keeping them.
TLDR: The 7ps are better in every way except for software integration with the ps5, price, and sound where they are pretty comparable. They also use micro-usb to charge which pisses me off. If you only have $100 to spend, Pulse’s are a good value.
Para la review parece que no ha tocado la ecualización de los 7p, que en mi opinión mejora bastante el sonido y volúmen.
