Sony Pulls PlayStation Pulse Elevate Speakers Off Schedule Days Before Launch

Sony has pushed back its Pulse Elevate wireless speakers with no new date in place. The accessory was due to hit shelves less than a week after the delay was announced, which leaves fans who had planned to buy at launch without a clear timeline.

Pulse Elevate is part of Sony's PlayStation audio lineup, a wireless speaker line meant to pair with the console ecosystem. Launch delays this close to release are uncommon for hardware, since retail stock, marketing and pre-orders are usually locked in by that point. An open-ended postponement suggests the company is not yet ready to commit to a window.

Sony has not tied the decision to a specific cause in the information available so far. Anyone who pre-ordered or was waiting on the speakers should watch for official updates from Sony and their retailer, since the date may change again before the product ships.
