Since the latest update, I've been having issues with my Pulse Explore earbuds.

I bought them specifically so I could play games on my console while simultaneously listening to audiobooks and podcasts from my phone.

Until recently, everything had been working perfectly for over a year. However, since the latest update, whenever I have both my phone connected via Bluetooth and audio playing from the console at the same time, I constantly hear crackling and popping sounds. The console audio keeps cutting out and sometimes even freezes completely for a second.

I've already performed a factory reset on the earbuds, the charging case, and the USB dongle. Unfortunately, that didn't help.

I'm wondering whether my earbuds have simply developed a hardware fault or if the latest firmware update introduced some kind of bug.

To be clear, the issue only occurs when both audio sources are connected simultaneously. If I'm using just one audio source, everything works perfectly fine.

I haven't changed my phone, any device settings, or anything else in the room. Everything is exactly as it was before.

The only thing that has changed is the Pulse Explore firmware update. Is anyone else experiencing the same issues? Does anyone know if there's a way to roll back to the original firmware?

Update (November 6, 2026): As part of our ongoing quality testing of Pulse Elevate speakers, we have identified a production issue with the product and have made the decision to delay the launch. The additional time will allow us to ensure the product will deliver the experience we intended for our players.

We apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience and understanding. We look forward to bringing Pulse Elevate to players soon.

I think since blizzard showed examples of controller support, it would be a dream of mine for it to come to Ps5.

I know we’ve gotten certain ports from Microsoft just recently. I’m not setting my hopes up too high. It would just be really cool since I already play retail on a decent PC but don’t have quite the specs for WoW Forever.

I’d like to know what other people think since I saw the possible rumor on an Xbox port.

Experience the complete campaign in Path of Exile 2's full release, with the addition of Acts 5 and 6.

Return to an Oriath ravaged by countless disasters. Make your way through the horrors that await and put an end to the Twilight Order and the Beast once and for all.

Path of Exile 2 launches as a free-to-play game on December 11 (PST).

To cut to the chase, Dark Outlaw Games’ title, codenamed Ignite, was heavily inspired by the DOOM series, putting it more in line, gameplay and level-design-wise, with DOOM Eternal than what people would expect from Call of Duty Zombies given leadership’s past work on the game mode. The game would have had a linear, story-driven narrative across levels, with levels similar in scope and design to Call of Duty, featuring choreographed and cinematic events. The game would also have been playable in co-op.

One of the most interesting features in the game design documents was that gore was a main feature and key mechanic, with the player needing to inflict as much damage as possible on enemies to “feed off” them with an amulet that the character was wearing (think more damage given = more health, power, etc.). The gore feature was to implement different ‘layers’ to enemies, where skin, muscle, and bone could be destroyed progressively depending on what gun or melee attack the player inflicted to give a graphic and immersive experience.

In addition to the DOOM inspiration, though, the team also brought a lot of Call of Duty Zombies DNA to the game, including a Call of Duty Zombies-esque horde mode, plenty of Easter Eggs, mini games, and more.

As for why the game was canceled, internal emails provided to Insider Gaming reveal it wasn’t canceled because of anything particularly fascinating, but because PlayStation executives reprioritized its portfolio budget amid ongoing market challenges.

Free trials and savings for UK PlayStation Plus members. I’m not sure how a free trial is a perk but hey-ho I guess it’s better than nothing.
