Sony has unveiled two new wireless headsets under its PlayStation Pulse brand, according to Engadget. The devices, named the Pulse and Pulse Edge, are built around planar magnetic drivers — a type of audio technology more commonly found in high-end audiophile headphones than in gaming peripherals.

Planar magnetic drivers work by passing electrical current through a thin membrane suspended between magnets, which can produce sound with lower distortion compared with conventional dynamic drivers. The inclusion of this technology in a console-focused headset marks a notable step for Sony's gaming audio lineup, according to Engadget.

Further details — including pricing, availability dates, and a full breakdown of specifications — had not been confirmed as of writing. Coverage of the announcement is currently limited to a single source.
