Sony delayed the Pulse Elevate speakers one week before their scheduled November 12th launch. The company announced the postponement on the product's page, citing a production issue identified during quality testing.
"As part of our ongoing quality testing of Pulse Elevate speakers, we have identified a production issue with the product and have made the decision to delay the launch," Sony stated. "The additional time will allow us to ensure the product will deliver the experience we intended for our players."
The Pulse Elevate is a pair of wireless speakers designed for PlayStation 5 and Portal, though they also work with PC, Mac, and mobile devices. The speakers support 3D audio from compatible PlayStation games and include a built-in microphone with AI-powered noise reduction. Pre-orders opened in September, and hardware influencers had already received units.
Sony provided no new release date, timeline, or refund policy for the delay.
