A few weeks ago, Sony released the newly designed PlayStation 5 Slim and handheld PlayStation 5 Portal remote player in the lead-up to the holidays. Now the tech and entertainment company just dropped new accessories that bring PlayStation games to life.

Priced at $199.99 at Best Buy and Amazon, the Sony Pulse Explore is a new pair of true wireless earbuds specifically designed for the PS5, PS5 Slim and PS5 Portal. These accessories offer excellent gaming audio that’s crisp, full and immersive with deep and rumbling bass, while it comes with a USB dongle that plugs directly into the back of the console to provide a low latency wireless audio connection with practically zero lag.

Meanwhile, the earbuds have a clever hidden microphone design that lets gamers chat with teammates and opponents online. They’re also compatible with Mac and PC, as well as Apple iPhone and Android mobile devices via Bluetooth.

In addition, Sony PS5 Pulse Explore comes with a sleek sliding USB-C charging case that serves as storage for the wireless earbuds and supplemental battery life. Although the earbuds themselves have a battery life of up to five hours per charge, their included charging case gives them an extra battery life of up to 10 hours. That’s up to 15 hours of charge in total, which is more than enough to complete games such as The Last of Us, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Stray, Ratchet & Clank, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and others.

The Sony PS5 Pulse Explore Wireless Earbuds come out on Wednesday, Dec. 6. They’re available for $199.99 at Best Buy, PlayStation Direct, Target and Amazon (you can also find them on resale sites such as StockX). In the meantime, watch a trailer for the new earbuds (and the upcoming Sony Pulse Elite gaming headset), below:
