Keeping on top of PlayStation Pulse Explore earbuds restocks this holiday season has become a fun ‘sequel’ to the Portal restock trouble – but we’re here to help point you in the right direction to try your luck at retailers or poke about in the right places.
The attraction of changing your PlayStation 5 audio and getting it from some top gaming earbuds as opposed to a larger PS5 headset is something many folks are looking forward to given that current low state of PlayStation Pulse Explore stock. As a result, we’re in a similar position to the PlayStation Portal, continually checking and trying retailers to see if stock has dropped online or at a physical store.
We think that the Pulse Explore earbuds with their planar magnetic drivers and AI-enhanced noise rejection could well be one of the most exciting holiday acquisitions for PS5 fans. Also, those looking for PlayStation Portal restocks and those who have secured one of the new handhelds will be particularly interested – the Portal and Explore buds do seem to be a great match.
Anyway, let’s get to it, below, we’ve covered all the go-to retailers that are worth checking for stock, and we’ll be updating this page regularly.
