Sony wants to bring players a new spin on wireless controllers: during yesterday's State of Play showcase, the company showed off its new PULSE Elevate wireless speakers. These speakers are intended for a desktop gaming setup and offer "ultra-low latency, lifelike gaming audio, and a built-in mic - all in a portable form factor." Here they go:



Here's a bit more about the speakers' features, straight from Sony:


  • Lifelike desktop audio: Each speaker features studio-inspired planar magnetic drivers for lifelike sound across the entire audible spectrum.

  • On the PS5 console, the driver technology further enhances immersion in PS5 games that support Tempest 3D AudioTech by positioning audio cues with incredible accuracy.

  • The speakers also feature built-in woofers that deliver rich bass tones for a fuller soundscape.

  • Built-in mic with AI-enhanced noise rejection: Pulse Elevate seamlessly introduces a high-quality voice chat experience into a desktop gaming setup with a microphone integrated within the right speaker. With AI-enhanced noise rejection technology, the mic also helps identify and remove unwanted background noise for crystal-clear voice communication, providing a new level of headset-free voice chat for desktop gaming.

  • PlayStation Link ultra-low latency and multi-device connectivity: Pulse Elevate is powered by PlayStation Link technology for ultra-low latency and lossless connectivity to deliver sound as it happens on compatible devices including PS5, PC, Mac, and PlayStation Portal remote player.

  • The speakers are also compatible with Bluetooth devices.

  • Pulse Elevate wireless speakers will feature a PlayStation Link USB adapter that is compatible with USB-C ports.

  • Built for both desktop gaming and portability: With the built-in rechargeable battery, players can take Pulse Elevate on the go. The included charging docks make it easy to jump back into a desktop gaming setup.

  • Highly customizable audio: Pulse Elevate speakers feature built-in volume controls and are designed to be easily adjusted for the ideal horizontal and vertical orientation in a player’s desktop setup.



The speakers will come in two colorways: Midnight Black and White. They'll be available at retail starting in 2026, but as of this writing there's no official word on cost. Once we learn the exact release date and MSRP, we'll share it with all of you.
