In May, we gave a quick peek at our dedicated PS5 remote play device – now called PlayStation Portal remote player, and our first wireless earbuds, called Pulse Explore. Today we’re pleased to share more details about these products and reveal a new PlayStation over-the-ear wireless headset, Pulse Elite. Both Pulse Elite and Pulse Explore deliver low latency lossless audio from PS5 and PlayStation Portal using our new PlayStation Link wireless technology.
Here are the details.
PlayStation Portal remote player
PlayStation Portal remote player brings the PS5 experience to the palm of your hand. It includes the key features of the DualSense wireless controller, including adaptive triggers and haptic feedback*. The vibrant 8-inch LCD screen is capable of 1080p resolution at 60fps, providing a high definition visual experience that’s expected from the high quality games created by world-class developers. PlayStation Portal is the perfect device for gamers in households where they might need to share their living room TV or simply want to play PS5 games in another room of the house. PlayStation Portal will connect remotely to your PS5 over Wi-Fi**, so you’ll be able to swiftly jump from playing on your PS5 to your PlayStation Portal. PlayStation Portal can play supported games that are installed on your PS5 console and use the Dualsense controller. It also includes a 3.5mm audio jack for wired audio. PS VR2 games, which require the headset, and games that are streamed through PlayStation Plus Premium’s cloud streaming, are not supported.***
Pulse Elite wireless headset & Pulse Explore wireless earbuds
Pulse Elite and Pulse Explore are the latest PlayStation wireless headset and earbuds, bringing next level audio performance to the gaming experience.
- Pulse Elite is our new wireless headset that offers lossless audio and comes with a retractable boom mic and AI-enhanced noise rejection capable of filtering background sounds. A charging hanger is also included with the product for a convenient charging and storage option.
- Pulse Explore is our first set of wireless earbuds, providing a premium portable audio experience with dual microphones and AI-enhanced noise rejection capable of filtering background sounds. It also offers lossless audio and comes with a charging case.
Pulse Elite and Pulse Explore will be the first PlayStation audio devices to use custom-designed planar magnetic drivers for an audiophile-level listening experience normally found in premium headphones for professional sound engineers. With Pulse Explore, we’re pleased to be one of the first companies to provide wireless earbuds to the mass consumer market using planar magnetic driver technology.
Pulse Elite and Pulse Explore can simultaneously connect to a PlayStation Link supported device (PS5, PC, Mac, or PlayStation Portal) and a Bluetooth supported device. For example, Pulse Explore can be connected to PS5 (via the USB adapter) using PlayStation Link and also to a mobile phone through Bluetooth at the same time. While playing on PS5, gamers can instantly answer a call and hear it through the same Pulse Explore earbuds.
We can’t wait to launch our new line of products for PS5, so players can play longer and experience its heightened immersiveness. We want to thank all our fans for being part of the PlayStation family and for embracing PS5, and we look forward to continuing to come up with new ways to enhance the player experience.
*Haptic feedback and adaptive trigger features are only available when those features are supported by the game being played.
**Requires broadband internet Wi-Fi with at least 5Mbps for use. For a better play experience, a high-speed connection of at least 15Mbps is recommended.

Prices?
EDIT: clue in the title and text lol, my bad
I have wfxb 700 sony earbuds. Bought them in January last year, and used them every single day since. The sound quality is OK, but so far I am satisfied.
I was thinking of geting these earbuds and giving my old ones away. Will wait for reviews.

I thought it should be more cheaper...
I mean it just a screen for remote play with a very simple processor.
It has no stand alone capiblities.

It will probably be $99 after 1 or 2 years, I'll get it then. Remote play is pretty good but doesn't justify the same cost as a Switch Lite imo
A pa5 controller alone is pretty expensive, plus Sony needs to make a profit on these
And did I get it right, that it only works with a direct WiFi connection with the console and not over internet?
Would be even more useless
It is over wifi, but the blog doesn't say if it has to be the same wifi as the console

PlayStation Project Q is now called PlayStation Portal, a $200 handheld device that lets you stream your PS5 games via Remote Play. We went hands-on to see how it works.

Key Notes from Previews:
- Portal has a 3.5mm headphone jack as well as a small set of speakers that are passable but nothing special.There is no Bluetooth available, so you won’t be able to connect to wireless headphones that way – not even PlayStation’s own Pulse 3D headset.
- Portal doesn’t run anything locally, not even basic apps. So if your Wi-Fi goes down or if someone else wants to use your PS5, it’s not going to work
- The device has a 60Hz, 8-inch LCD display. PlayStation says this size is the sweet spot for long gaming sessions, keeps text legible and won't leave the player feeling like they're downgrading.
- The Portal is light, probably somewhere between a Switch and a Steam Deck.
- Games like Astro's Playroom and Returnal plays like playing directly on the PS5 console.
- No lag experienced when playing games (by previewers)
- No definitive battery life was given but the company is targeting something similar to the DualSense controller's,
I did a look in the specs.
The screen is a dispointment for me imo but I understand Sony gone cheap.
1080p 60Hz LCD screen is nothing to talk about.
I expected an OLED screen.
Going against mobile market they matained the 3.5mm audio jack that is a good thing.
But at same time there is no other option (no Bluethooth for example).
