Everything to Know About Sony’s Next-Gen PS5 Console

Slowly Sony is launching the features and specs of its Next-Gen Console. They have announced the launch of their next-gen gaming console half a year after the official announcement of Microsoft’s Xbox Series X. But the curtain-raising from some features is still left from the all-new upcoming gaming consoles. 

The latest announcement by Sony is about the 15 next-gen titles that will be released after the console’s launch. Sony is working hard for its reputation and they are keeping these things in mind while launching and making its next-gen console. A small loop-hole might affect their goodwill in the market. 

Undoubtedly, the current-gen console is competing against the current console by Microsoft. If you see the history, you might find that the PS4 is one of the best selling consoles as per the reports by a tech company in 2019. 

Now, coming to the PS5 console. Still, many things need to be revealed before the gamers decide to buy any other console. The blog has some necessary details about this next-gen console. 

PS5’s Release Date

Sony has officially confirmed that PS5 will hit the market in the holiday season of 2020. Still, the release date is missing. If Sony follows its past trend of launching the product in November, you might see the launch of PS5 at the end of November. 

The lockdown and the quarantine of millions of people disrupted the workflows of several people. That’s why there is a delay in the launch of this product. But there are chances that the current pandemic might not affect the launching of this product. Possibly, you can buy PS5, the next-gen console, from November.

What Will Be The Cost Of PS5?

Previously, there were rumors that the PS5 would release in June, but all the rumors proved false. It was expected that Sony would announce the price of the PS5 in August, but hard-core gamers have some expectations regarding the price of this product. 

Possibly, the console of PS5 might be a little expensive due to its specs and features, but still, it will be better if you wait for the official announcement. 

Two Models Of PS5

One thing is pretty clear that Sony is going to release two models of PS5. One is with the physical drive, and the other is without drive. The second model will be the digital edition in which gamers have to download copies of the games from their official sites.  

But the company hasn’t announced the price and specs of these two models, but after the holiday season, these two models might be available in the market. There are speculations that the Digital Edition of the game has more internal storage and lets the gamers customize the console’s storage as per their convenience. But the digital edition might be cheaper than the standard PS5. 

According to the official reports by Sony, there is a shortage of raw materials as their supply chain was changed due to the current situation. 

The PS5 is manufactured in different countries and then shipped back to the United States, which got affected due to the pandemic. The company is going to offer a pre-order facility to its users.

Possibility Of The Release Of PS5 Pro

Sony didn’t say anything about the PS5 Pro, but there are some rumors that the company could launch the dominant version of the PS5’s console. 

If you see a video on YouTube by Zenji Nishikawa, a Japanese Game Journalist, you might get to know the intention of Sony from 2019. In the video, he stated that gaming companies are planning to provide high-end models and want to give the players next-gen gaming experience. 

Latest PSVR Hardware Is Coming With The PS5

Sony is working on the PSVR hardware of its next-gen gaming console. The final product by Sony might be truly wireless with new controllers. The price of the PSVR 2 might be closer to Sony’s current virtual headset device, which is $299. 

For more information about the PS5 Console, wait for another announcement by Sony.

Sony WF-SP800N vs Jabra Elite 75t: Which One is the Better Choice?

The latest Sony WF-SP800N is wireless in the most real sense with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and an IP55 rating. The battery life also seems to be decent. But it faces stiff competition from Jabra Elite 75t that dropped in the market at an almost identical time as Sony. Jabra Elite 75t is particularly commended for its ease of connectivity and sound quality. Naturally, potential customers are conflicted between the two earphones. Whether to rely on the ever-present brand Sony and expect the best from the popular brand or give the new brand a fair trial based on the specifications is the central question on everyone’s mind..

• Specs That You Need You to Know

Both the earphones are equipped with in-ear earbuds, touch control panel, USB-C type charging, IP55 rating, and both lack wireless charging. The specs that differ and create a need to choose are battery, ANC, and wingtips. Jabra feels like a setback in terms of ANC and wingtips, but it more than compensates for battery life. Sony holds an 18-hour battery (9 hours with ANC), but Jabra comes equipped with 28-hour battery life (7 hours standalone).

• Design, Comfort and Built

Earphones and their design have evolved a lot through time, and now you can find style, desired size, and quality features, all fused in one device. Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus and Jaybird Vista are perfect examples of it. But it looks like nobody told about this evolution to the makers/designers of Sony SP800N. The SP800N is anything but handy and small. The set is enormous, and the outer housing sticks end up protruding out of the ear, making it look a little ugly. The perfect fit and comfort due to the wingtips and angled silicone ear tips are the only saving grace for the model here.

The SP800N gives you a snug fit and sticks in the same position for as long as you want it. This is especially handy while running, jogging, other outdoor activities, or any intensive fitness routine. The wingtips ensure they remain tight. Another reason for the tight fit is the size. Yes, it may look a little funky and quirky, but the size ensures a larger surface area for the ear to wrap around. The earbuds maintain their position despite multiple different intensity workouts and a lot of sweat. IP55 rating tells us that the earphones are good to go in case of a slight drizzle without any potential damage. 

The SP800N does not have push buttons but rather touch buttons, making the controls much more accessible and convenient. From google assistant, Apple’s Siri, to ANC activation, the touch sensors let you do it all with utmost ease, one touch to the pads seals out all the noise at once.

But this may prove to be a boon and a curse at the same time. The size is quite right to both rest in your ear firmly and not hurt the ear canal.

Shifting the focus away from Sony and on to Jabra Elite 75t, the device is compact and smart. The earphones are all in a contrast color shade to better the entire presentation of the body. The buds sit comfortably in the ear, and the exterior body is clinging to the ear cavity. These devices also settle well in your ear. They stay for as long as you want without causing any sense of discomfort or irritation. But these will not be highly recommended for extremely sweaty workouts since the sweat makes the grip lose. The Jabra variant works with push buttons, but they are soft and do not hurt the ear when pressed.

The button commands are variable as per requirement, and everyone can change it as they like. It lets the surrounding noise be blocked, and you get the full experience of just the music.

• Charging Case

The design of the charging case of the earphones is the first thing that catches the eye. Sony WF-SP800N case is long and broad. The bulky size makes it hard to carry, especially when you are outdoors for a run or a jog, and the case keeps jingling in your pocket. The lids of the case hold strong magnets, and the case shuts tightly, ensuring that the earphones do not fall off unsuspectedly. The plastic used to build the covering is matte and hence does not get dirty quickly.

On the other hand, Elite 75t boasts of a reasonable size. The case is strong, and lid magnets are robust in this model too.

• Battery Life

Once the earphones are charged, the device works non-stop for the next seven hours. The battery backup of the case lets the earphones repeat the cycle 2.2 times. The sum total of all that is 28 hours of battery on the go. The fast charger does its designated job very well. You can guess that by knowing that a 15 minute charging period lets you use the earphones for another one hour. The connection does not feel lagged or difficult. It is also multipoint which means that it can be wirelessly connected to two different hosts.

Discussing the battery life of Sony, SP800N works for 9 hours on ANC. The case lets one more cycle possible. That totals roughly to 18 hours which is not good as compared to its alternate. The connectivity lags a little and it takes 10 seconds of holding the touchpad to get the devices to   connect.

• Judgment

Sony is a well-known company and WF-SP800N is a good experience but Jabra Elite 74t managed to pack all the right requirements. The overall sound richness and size comparison makes us sway more towards Jabra Elite.
