It sounds crazy, but it adds a basslike kick in cinematic experiences, and feedback that works with the controller haptics to make environments feel even more immersive.Ī look at the hardware from above. The PSVR 2 also has two features you won't easily find anywhere else.īuilt-in headset vibration kicks in with some games, feeling like a rumble for your face. It feels like a pretty inelegant audio solution for a high-end headset. It feels like I might damage the buds when I pull them back out, though, or leave some ear gunk in there. (The Pulse USB adapter slots into one of the PS5's USB-A ports, while the PSVR 2 goes into the front USB-C port.) Weirdly, the headband has its own earbud storage of a sort: You pop the buds into weird, little grippy cut-out holes. The headset also works with Sony's over-ear Pulse 3D wireless headphones, which sound much better - but they also made my face sweat more.
The 3D audio sounded just OK to me, but you can plug in your own headphones. Putting in the buds means isolated sound, but you won't be able to hear others around you (something I often need when playing around kids to make sure I'm not ignoring them). The PSVR 2 doesn't have off-ear ambient audio like the Quest 2 and other headsets often do. A pair of plastic buds on a plastic bracket pop into the headset's rear strap and dangle down. The audio's less impressive, at least with the included earbuds. I do, however, sense a bit of blur or bleed when I move my head at high speeds, a bit more than I've noticed on the Quest 2 or Quest Pro. That being said, it's vivid, detailed and bright, with a 110-degree viewing area that's larger than the Quest 2. Meaning that I can still make out a bit of pixelation.
The 2,000x2,040-per-eye resolution feels sharp, although not quite "retina-level" resolution like you'd get on a 4K TV or your phone. The OLED HDR displays are pretty great, too.
Same design concept, but a big improvement this time around. The PSVR 2 (left) next to the original PSVR (right).
