Sony has postponed its Pulse Elevate wireless speakers indefinitely, just a few days prior to their scheduled launch.
This announcement emerged in a 6th November update to Sony’s initial communication on the PlayStation Blog, first noted by IGN. Quality evaluations have uncovered a “manufacturing problem,” Sony stated, and there is no revised release date available at this time.
“During our ongoing quality assessments of Pulse Elevate speakers, we identified a manufacturing concern with the product and have opted to delay the launch,” the announcement specifies. “The additional time will enable us to guarantee that the product delivers the experience we envisioned for our gamers. We regret the delay and value your patience and comprehension. We anticipate bringing Pulse Elevate to gamers soon.”
The speakers were scheduled to become available globally on 12th November, with pre-orders commencing in September. It remains uncertain what will happen to those orders, but we will provide updates as we acquire more information.
Sony unveiled Pulse Elevate in September 2025 as its inaugural wireless speakers geared for desktop gaming. These speakers complement the Pulse Elite headset and Pulse Explore earbuds, priced at £199.99 ($219.99).
They connect to PS5, PC, Mac, and PlayStation Portal using PlayStation Link, and can simultaneously pair with a mobile device via Bluetooth. Additionally, a microphone is integrated into the right speaker featuring what Sony describes as “AI-enhanced noise cancellation.”
Midnight Black was expected to be available globally, whereas the White variant was restricted to a select few countries, including the UK.
In tandem with the Pulse Elevate speakers, Sony introduced an array of hardware in September 2025, including a 27-inch gaming monitor that will only be released in the US and Japan.
