Both remotes have haptic feedback, PlayStation buttons, and they also split the sharing and option buttons found on the DualSense. The new Sense controllers are actually purpose built for virtual reality – they're practically a carbon copy of Meta's Quest controllers, with a large tracking ring, analog sticks, two face buttons, triggers and grip buttons. Still, I'm happy that Sony listened to the many criticisms of the Move wand controllers on the original PS VR. I only wish the headset flipped up like those forgotten Windows Mixed Reality devices – that would have made it far easier to slip on and off. Together with its impeccably balanced design and light weight, the PS VR2 is a dream to wear. Clicking the dial on the rear extends the arms of the headset, and like before, you secure it by twisting the dial. The PS VR2 features plush cushioning for your forehead, as well as a thicker cushion that sits behind your skull. There's nothing stopping you from using your own headphones or earbuds, but the cable situation would likely be a mess.Īs for securing the PS VR2 to your head, I was happy to find that Sony didn't really change much from the incredibly comfortable first model. To get audio, you'll have to plug in the bundled earbuds along the back of the headset. It does so by physically moving the lenses to match the distance between your eyes, something that was sorely missing from Sony's first headset.Īt the bottom of the PS VR2 there's a small microphone, power button and selection button. Along the top, there's a button to extend the front half of the headset, as well as a dial to adjust the pupillary distance. Thanks to these 'inside out' sensors, which are also found on the Meta Quest and many other headsets, the PS VR2 doesn't require a PlayStation camera to track its movement like before. Up front, you'll find four sensors that track the headset and its new Sense controllers. While the displays still offer 90Hz or 120Hz refresh rates, in my experience everything just looks smoother thanks to the PS5's additional horsepower.

The field of view has also been bumped up to 110 degrees, putting it on-par with most other high-end VR headsets. It features dual 2K OLED screens, which effectively deliver a 4K image. I also didn't mind the plastic much since the PS VR2's internal hardware is such a massive upgrade.
