Sony unveils Pulse Elevate gaming desktop speakers for PC, Mac, PS5

Sony unveiled Pulse Elevate, a new pair of wireless desktop speakers designed for gaming, during its State of Play presentation on Wednesday, saying the system will deliver ultralow latency audio, support multiple platforms and include built‑in microphones and rechargeable batteries. The company presented the speakers as a companion to its existing Pulse audio line and said they are intended for PC, Mac and PlayStation users, including compatibility with the PlayStation Portal handheld.

The two‑speaker Pulse Elevate system uses studio‑inspired planar magnetic drivers paired with integrated woofers, Sony said, to reproduce a wide audible spectrum and stronger bass response. On PlayStation 5 consoles the speakers can make use of Tempest 3D AudioTech for enhanced positional cues in supported titles. Sony also highlighted its proprietary PlayStation Link connection as the primary wireless method, promising near‑lossless transmission and ultralow latency for gaming; Bluetooth is supported as an alternate connection for phones or other devices.
