The PlayStation 5 is capable of playing 3D audio and has revolutionary capabilities in terms of sound. A new color “Midnight Black” will be added to the “PULSE 3D Wireless Headset” headphones for PS5. The release date is October 28th, but I was able to borrow it a little earlier, so I opened it. I took a picture and actually used it. The price is 10,978 yen.

Also, with the second large-scale system software update in September, 3D audio can now be played back through the TV's built-in speakers, making it even easier to enjoy.
On the other hand, it can be said that the appeal of the PULSE 3D, which is a genuine headset, is that it is designed to maximize the effect of the Tempest 3D.
