Like everyone else, we want to know – does PSVR 2 come with headphones?
With the imminent release of PSVR 2, we’re answering the flurry of questions surrounding Sony’s latest VR headset. With the promise of 3D Audio and incredibly realistic soundscapes, the question of whether PSVR 2 comes with headphones is an important one.
For those who were worried about additional add-on costs, like buying a compatible headset, you need not worry. The PSVR 2 comes equipped with stereo headphones that can be connected to your PS5 via USB. They also come with additional earpieces for a more comfortable fit. These earbuds fit neatly into the underside of the headband.
And what if you have your own set of headphones? Will they be compatible? Well, we’ve gone into more depth if you’re interested. However, If you want a short explanation, your over ear headphones might be compatible, although there is limited space inside the headset for bulkier headphones.
Our word of advice is that the PSVR 2 stereo headphones should be comfortable without incurring the risk of compromising the seal. Unless you’re seriously attached to your headphones, the cabled stereo headset will do you fine. It’s also worth knowing that Bluetooth headphones are not compatible with PSVR 2, so you’ll need to make sure you have a 3.5mm headphone jack.
