PlayStation Pulse Explore stock tracker - inventory readily available

As of February 2024, PlayStation Pulse Explore earbuds stock has now leveled out and it's become easy to pick up the new earbuds on both sides of the Atlantic.

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 clearly interested in, and the relatively low (but recovering) state of PlayStation Pulse Explore stock represents that. 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 have the makings of a fine audio acquisition for PS5 fans. Also, those looking for PlayStation Portal restocks or folks who have secured one of the new handhelds will be particularly interested - the Portal and Explore buds do seem to be a great match. Especially since the most recent PS5 update which allows for EQ manipulation and a sidetone feature to be used with the buds (and other headsets) too.

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.
