PlayStation Link, PlayStation’s New Wireless Audio Technology
Utilizing PlayStation Link, a new wireless audio technology, Pulse Elite and Pulse Explore are able to communicate directly with the PlayStation Portal. Low latency, lossless audio, and simple switching between several PlayStation Link hosts, including PS5 with the USB adaptor and PlayStation Portal, are all provided by this invention.
The USB adaptor that is included with each headset and set of earphones is necessary for PlayStation Link when using Pulse Elite and Pulse Explore with a PS5. Players may connect Pulse Elite or Pulse Explore to enjoy the same lossless and low latency audio by purchasing the PlayStation Link USB adaptor, which will also be offered separately and can be utilized on PC and Mac.
Both a Bluetooth-enabled device and a PlayStation Link-enabled device (PS5, PC, Mac, or PlayStation Portal) can be connected at once via Pulse Elite and Pulse Explore. For instance, Pulse Explore may simultaneously be linked to a mobile phone through Bluetooth and the PS5 (via the USB adaptor) via PlayStation Link. The same Pulse Explore earphones may be used to accept calls while a game is being played on the PS5.
