Sony has been on a roll with gaming peripherals, including the Inzone H9 II gaming headset that may actually justify its big price tag, and the excellent Inzone H6 Air, and it was looking to continue that streak with a pair of pricey tabletop gaming speakers, but things have apparently hit a bump in the road.

Sony says its Pulse Elevate wireless speakers, which can be used with PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, and the PlayStation Portal, have encountered a “production issue” that’s setting the release back. Here’s Sony’s full statement on the matter:

“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. The additional time will allow us to ensure the product will deliver the experience we intended for our players.”

Sony doesn’t detail exactly what went wrong, but clearly it was bad enough to warrant pushing the release date back. The speakers were originally meant to be released on Nov. 12, and Sony hasn’t given an amended timeline.

” I can’t say for sure what that sounds like yet, but if it’s anything close to the audio quality of the H9 II, it’ll be a hit for me. There are built-in woofers, too, so you’ll still get some low end. On top of that, there are also built-in mics with “AI-enhanced noise rejection,” which is just a fancy way of saying the speakers will cancel environmental noise while you’re talking.
