The launch of PlayStation VR is right around the corner but before you drop the money on the VR headset, you should know what you’re getting into. While the price of the PlayStation VR headset is advertised at $399.99, you’ll actually want to consider getting some accessories to get the full VR experience. Here’s everything you need to get started with your new PlayStation VR system.
The PlayStation VR bundle is currently sold out at most retailers, but consider this some preparation so you'll know what you'll need when you get a chance to order one.
Plantronics RIG 4VR Gaming Headset
Sony and Plantronics partnered to create the Plantronics RIG 4VR, a gaming headset that’s designed to work with PlayStation VR. Positional audio is extremely important for VR, and this headset will give more immersive 3D sound. And at $69, it won’t break the bank.
Since Sony and Plantronics know you’ll be spending hours in virtual reality, the RIG 4VR was made with comfort and lightness in mind. The headphones go over your ears and the cable from the headphone is angled away from you, making it harder to accidentally wrap yourself around it.
Yes, it’s a wired gaming headset, but the PlayStation VR currently only supports wired headphones for positional audio. You’ll need to plug in headphones into the PlayStation VR’s inline remote.
