Top PSVR2 Accessories
Sony Pulse 3D Wireless Headset
If you already own a pair of PlayStation VR controllers, the Sony Pulse 3D wireless headset will immensely enhance your experience by providing stronger 3D sound for greater VR immersion. The Pulse 3D wireless syncs effortlessly with your PS5, and the surround sound experience really makes a difference. Sony claims that 3D sound offers a 26% greater sense of space and distance compared to the 2D sounds from the built-in headphones. Since the Pulse 3D eliminates the need for a separate audio source, this includes a charging and stowage process, and it syncs with visuals in playable demos.
If you already own a reliable pair of headphones, and you want to use those to play your games and consume media, then there are some alternatives available that eliminate the use of separate audio cables. The HAHSTRAIT Charging Station is easy to use, convenient, and keeps PlayStation VR2 controllers tidy.
HAHSTRAIT Charging Station
The Hastraith Charging Station comes with four magnetic suction slots that have been designed not to come away from their surface until you want them to. Each slot can handle the weight of one PlayStation VR remote, so everything stays in place while it charges. It’s super easy to put the controllers on the charging station, and the tidy setup will save you from the embarrassment of tripping over cables in front of your guests. If you’re somebody who has to charge multiple accessories in multiple places, this is a good investment that will be of tangible use day after day.
With two contacts and a long wire, you’re also going to have a lot of flexibility regarding where you place your charging station, so your PlayStation VR2 setup will look good wherever you decide to keep it.
Protective Carrying Case
This helpful, trusty carrying case will keep your new headset in pristine condition while protecting it from dirt and damage. The Hastraith Carrying Case is equipped with compartments that fit all the included accessories, including the cables and additional headphones. The case may be transparent, but it’ll still keep your gadget from prying eyes.
HonsVR PSVR2 Prescription Lenses
HonsVR offers PSVR2 Prescription Lenses, which you can use to correct your eyesight if you need to.
While we haven’t tried these ourselves, these lenses are designed specifically for the virtual reality device and will help to protect those built-in lenses. In an age where the medical community discusses VR’s impact on the eyes, using these lenses is a simple way to rest assured that you aren’t doing any lasting damage to your vision.
ProxiMat VR Mat
The ProxiMat VR Mat acts as a soft surface that sits beneath you while you play to help you define a safe playing space. It has a cute, cartoon-ish border depicting grass and a moon, but it’s actually very much focused on functionality over style. The ProxiMat’s built-in centering button is a great tool that helps you quickly and neatly establish a rectangular box where you can play without worrying about running into walls or getting tangled up in. The formed ridges also give you a lot of tactility, meaning you’ll be able to tell by touch where the edges are, which can be very handy in the heat of the moment.
PSVR2 Deluxe Comfort Strap by Studioform Creative
Studioform Creative’s PSVR2 Deluxe Comfort Strap helps ensure a comfortably secure fit for your headset. Rather than jamming the device onto your head, Studioform’s strap evenly distributes the weight along the back of your headset, allowing you to adjust it to the perfect fit. It even includes a plastic cover to prevent the elastic bits from rubbing against your hair. It’s unfortunate that these straps are only available sold separately, as they’d be simple to include with the base PSVR2 package.
