Yeah, all of the signal processing happens on the PS5, it just gives out a stereo signal.
The new headphones would be a downgrade for you. Just use your platinum on the PS5.
Ok so is a stereo headset all that's needed to get the best experience? What about headsets that do surround sound? Or is that not an option anymore because of no optical audio out port?
My advice when it comes to Hyperx Clouds, is don't buy the Cloud 1 or 2. Buy the Alpha. The older headphones require more power than a controller can give them resulting in a lack of bass and volume. The Alpha was their first Cloud headphones built specifically to be powered by low-powered devices.
Why not preorder it? You secure one for now just in case they become hard to get which they already are. If it turns out they aren't great then you can cancel the preorder or return them. Plus it's coming out in November so you'll also get the extended holiday return policy window on top of that. So why not lock it in when you have so long to determine if they are worth keeping even after release?
The headset has nothing to do with the 3D audio.
I'm still using these, really good value after all these years. They work with the Switch too.
Still using this guy. The material around the ear is starting to peal off so feels like a good time to upgrade.

If you can plug it into the controller, yes. It's a stereo headset.
Thats binaural sound. As i understand it, Sony's 3D audio is an evolution of those concepts but its not quite the same thing.Yeah, literally any stereo headset.
Previous surround headsets took the 5.1 and 7.1 signal (often from optical) and converted this to a 3D audio stereo signal.
This is all done by the console now, so you do not need any external decoders/encoders. The console kits spits out a stereo signal with the processing already performed. Same as it is Pc/Xbox.
Here is an example of 3D audio here: already had the effect encoded to a stereo signal. Try it with any headphones
Virtual Barber Shop (Audio...use headphones, close ur eyes)
You'll need headphones for this to work. Make sure there is no noise around, close your eyes, turn the volume up a little bit, hold and press headphone on yo...
Sony should release some gameplay footage with the HRTf applied
Aha thanks for the answer 😃 I Will buying a PS5 next year and series X this November so then I can use the same headset for both then 😌
I preordered the Pulse headset but I should probably do this instead. I just bought the wh1000xm4s when they launched.
I know how 3D audio works for the PS5. I just found it strange to call a headset 3D when it doesn't really have 3D sound
Sony describe the set as "fine-tuned for 3D Audio on PS5 consoles*"

Will work on a Mac or PC with a USB port (you need the dongle attached to the device to use these). Should also work on the Switch since the Gold/Platinum worked there.
Thanks! So not necessary to try and find a wireless 7.1 headset like I did last gen. They broke about a year ago so I told myself I'd wait until next gen to make a smart upgrade. These Arctis 9s are looking reeaal nice!Yeah, literally any stereo headset.

With the PS5 having a dedicated audio chip any stereo headset should have 3D audio on the PS5.
No all I'm trying to say is won't the end result suffer soundwise? Say we have 3 devices. PS5, DualSense, nice cans
Came free with my phone, so this seems far more economical. They also sound great and have insane battery life, so..
If the stream to the Dualsense is as bad as the PS4, everything will sound worse attached to the controller directly, but you'll still get the effect of their 3D audio engine. The audio quality of the Pulse headsets will probably be as bad as the Gold, but again you're getting the 3D Audio simply because that's what the PS5 is outputting. You could run the audio out of the PS5 into your own headphone amp and use high end headphones and still get the 3D audio plus the audio quality you're accustomed to with your headphones. The audio engine is in the PS5. What it sends out has already been decoded (or whatever the word they use for it is). It doesn't need a special device on your end to do the decoding.
Ah so your amp is plugged into one of the USB ports on the console then your headphones into the amp
How do you think the audio is getting out to the Pulse? It sends it out via the USB port that the dongle is attached to. It's similar on the PS4. If you're familiar with the Hyperx Clouds 2, they have an amp that plugs into the USB port on the PS4, and then you plug your headphones into that amp.
You can get replacement ear pads on amazon. That's what I did with my beat up gold headset.
Still using this guy. The material around the ear is starting to peal off so feels like a good time to upgrade.
Was. It still is. Just my wifi adapter got busted so cant use it anymore
That's true. Especially if what others have said and the audio quality on the Platinum is similar to the Gold. It would then just come down to build quality. In pictures, the Pulse looks like it would be more comfortable to me than the Gold due to that new headband strap.
