PS5 Pulse Elite and PS Link Firmware Update Leaves Some Headsets Dropping Connection

Sony rolled out firmware for the PS5 Pulse Elite headset and PlayStation Link adapter on September 21 and 22. After updating, some players report connection drops that appear to come from a sync issue between the headset and the PS Link dongle. PlayStation Link is Sony's low-latency wireless standard for its audio gear. The update prompts automatically when you power on the accessories.
