Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased the Sony PlayStation VR2 for my children in March 2025, and it has been an absolute game-changer. The level of immersion and realism it delivers is truly impressive. From the moment you put on the headset, you’re transported into breathtaking virtual worlds with stunning 4K HDR visuals and an incredibly smooth refresh rate. The setup was quick and straightforward, and the Sense controllers feel natural and responsive, making gameplay more intuitive than ever. The haptic feedback and adaptive triggers add an extra layer of realism, making every experience more engaging. My kids love the wide selection of games, from thrilling adventures to creative and educational experiences. Comfort is another highlight—the headset is lightweight and well-balanced, allowing for extended play sessions without discomfort. The eye-tracking technology enhances gameplay dynamics, while the 3D audio makes every sound feel incredibly lifelike. Sony has truly raised the bar with the PlayStation VR2, providing an unparalleled virtual reality experience. Whether for gaming, exploration, or interactive learning, this is an outstanding investment. Highly recommended for anyone looking to bring the magic of VR into their home!

I've been trying the 2 major VR/AR/MR systems, Meta Quest3 and Playstation VR2, on my PS5 to decide if it's time to jump into the new technology. Quest3 is an untethered system allowing free movement, while VR2 is tethered. With VR2 there are 2 issues; 1) you're movement is limited by the tether, and 2) there's a definite possibility you could get tripped-up by it also. As to usability...Both are "acceptable", but I preferred the Quest3's optics over VR2. IMO, I'd like to see better optics, and I think someday, they'll get this worked out. For controllers, I prefer the VR2 (Q2 are similar) over the Q3; they just felt "better" to me. Also, the VR2 eye-tracking is great! Mixed-reality, Q3 has VR2 beat, with full-color MR, while VR2 is B&W (yuch!). Overall, if you want to dig into VR now, I'd say you need to consider that tether, and for that alone I prefer Q2 over VR2. Also, because Q3 can work with your 'puter, while VR2 cannot; although YMMV. The headset on the VR2 is MUCH more comfortable IMO, and the controllers feel "better" (to me). Setup is easier on the VR2, and things just "feel" more positive (i.e. picking something up). So which one to choose???...There's no good answer, it's up to you to decide. The best way to do so is to try each out, in your own environment, and make your decision. Both are good quality units, both have pros & cons...BUT...There is that addn'l $500+ that you'll have to spend for the PS5 game console IF you decide to go the VR2 route (if you don't have a PS5 already). If I didn't have a PS5 already, my personal choice would be Q3 if only because it's not tethered and does not require a game console. For ease of use, they both have their "quirks". BTW, watching movies on both is NOT as nice as expected if you have a quality TV, so that doesn't matter IMO.

This is my first VR headset I ever own, but from my experience with other headsets its a nice gaming VR headset. The graphics are insane for being VR, I love how easy the instructions are to set up your play area, its very immersive which is the best part for me but I believe the graphics have a lot to do with it and the haptic feedback. Immersion was my biggest concern to wanting to get to own a VR headset and this one knocked it out of the park, definitely would recommend. The only Con I have is having to stay connected with a cable to the PS5 or the PC but other than that 5 stars from me.

It is awesome! Resident Evil felt sorta scary and realistic! Horizon is very interactive! Shoot bows, throw hatchets, and climb mountains! You can even 'eat' apples and toss the cores over a cliff! So mu h to do without the fight scenes. Fight scenes are also amazing)! You cant help but duck and dodge! The only drawback (I've encountered) is the cord.

I bought this psvr2 call of the wild bundle with digital voucher for Horizon: call of the wild game included as an open box excellent condition system back in july. As advertised it arrived to me in excellent condition, It wasn't in it original packaging but came in a nice white box. The psvr2 was in excellent condition for being an open box/used item, I have played my psvr2 constantly and have enjoyed it immensely. Psvr2 really makes you feel like you are in different worlds/environments, you feel immersed like your really there. I played Resident Evil: Village and this game scared me!!! It's like the monsters are in front of you and all around you, i had to stop playing after awhile cause it scared me. I will say if you buy psvr2 and are new to virtual reality, ease yourself into it, until your body gets use to it because you might become nauseous and light headed. I recommend starting off just playing 30 minutes of psvr2 and slowly increase your playing time until you feel comfortable enough playing psvr2 without becoming nauseous. The reason I'm giving 4 out of 5 stars is because before i purchase this, best buy ad had stated open box call of the wild bundle with digital voucher for the Horizon call of the wild game. I called Best Buy 1-(800) number to verify if the ad was legitimate and the representative said yes it was. I received my psvr2 bundle and there was no digital voucher for the game. I called Bestbuy explained what happened, Bestbuy then told me to call Sony to get the game. Long story short i didn't get my digital voucher code for the game. Be careful of buying any open box bundle consoles from Bestbuy advertising free digital voucher of game because the open box console will not have the voucher for game. Other than that issue, i love my psvr2, sorry for the long review

Open box product as described by best buy. Product performance is great and continues to perform as intended, comfort is the only issue I had. I have the headset setup for my sessions and requires just a bit of fine tuning each time I put it on as I put markings on it. The front head bump/pillow area varies by session and can get uncomfortable after ~25 minutes if not adjusted precisely. The eye shield window attachment was most uncomfortable, it blocked light as intended but support to my face just wasn’t there. Bought a padded shield that also required fine tuning for my face but is setup now and is by far more comfortable.

As an owner of the original PSVR and formerly the Meta Quest 2 (currently upgraded to Meta Quest Pro), the PSVR2 is an excellent headset. I'm glad I waited for the $250 discount from the launch MSRP. The PS5-exclusive VR modes for Gran Turismo 7 and Resident Evil 4 Remake alone make the PSVR2 worth every penny. The included game Horizon Call of the Mountain is also a very impressive feat. Highlights that differentiate this from other headsets are the OLED lenses, HDR, 120HZ refresh rate, headset haptics, and the sense controller adaptive triggers. Accessories I recommend are the Globular Cluster comfort mod, Collective Minds charger and display stand, Digistand lens protective cover, and a large acrylic case (shown in photo). Looking forward to revisiting Resident Evil Village in VR once it arrives (will be delivered after Christmas, but I'm in no rush since the 3 games I mentioned are already keeping me busy). I'm used to the Meta Quest Pro's open design, so I'm happy the light blocker is also removable on the PSVR2. Personally it doesn't break the immersion for me at all, in fact the PSVR2 still blocks a significant portion of my peripheral vision compared to the Quest Pro, especially the sides. Besides, I always thought completely blocking out all light makes my FOV seem narrower (a literal tunnel vision). Just my preference. But keep in mind, if you also remove the light blocker, you'll lose its support on your face/cheek and the headset will droop substantially. Unlike the lighter and more balance Quest Pro, the PSVR2 wasn't designed for being supported solely on the forehead. The Globular Cluster comfort mod head strap completely remedies this.

Worth every dollar. The only thing to complain about is that it's a wired VR headset, but I have quickly learned to appreciate it. Because it's a wired headset that plugs directly into a PS5 and not a wireless standalone headset, the graphics are far superior. Also, although I haven't tried this myself yet, I do know you can also use the PS VR2 on a PC, which means this VR headset is not exclusively a PlayStation VR headset. I have loved every second.

I thought this was a great entry point to VR. Specially playing Grand Turismo 7 and Horizon: Call of The Mountain. It’s a lot of fun. The library is a little small at the moment. But it seems they are working on newer projects. So looking forward to new games not just ports of some of the PSVR games. PSVR games are not compatible, unless they made a PSVR2 version. Lots of demos to check out. Very easy to setup, 1 single cable connection to the PS5. You can play regular games as if you were looking at a big screen. And the headphones that come with the PSVR2 are great.

I fell madly in love with my VR headset. I spend hours playing Vegas Infinite. I just bought Hellsweeper, Resident Evil Village, Metro Awakening, Gran Turismo 7 and Arizona Sunshine 2 they are all so fun. PSVR2 plays perfectly on my PS5 PRO. MY advice...GET THE 2 YEAR WARRANTY. If you cant afford a warranty on top of the cost of a VR headset, then dont bother. Remember to only clean the lenses with micro fiber cloth, if you have poor vision you need to wear your glasses, so PLEASE invest in lense protectors or do what I did and get a pair of detachable prescription lenses from VR Rock to avoid you scratching the VR lenses. be gentle with the cable and treat it every part carefully to maximize its lifespan. Im so happy with this purchase, I only buy my electronics from Best Buy since I trust them so much when it comes to customer service. ENJOY P.s. also eat some dramamine or ginger 30 min before playing to avoid motion sickness for the beginning , you get your VR legs after some practice with them.

I ordered my VR online and picked it up in person at the Best Buy in Brentwood, TN. The entire process was smooth and easy. When I arrived, the staff was very nice, friendly, and made the pickup quick and hassle-free. The VR itself has been awesome and exceeded my expectations. Setup was simple and the performance is fantastic. Overall, a great experience from online ordering to in-store service. Highly recommend Best Buy and the Brentwood team!

Long ago i bought this set and i have 0 complaints, they fixed the main issues of the first vr set, this has less cables, its lightweight and it more powerfull, the selection of games is diverse and numerous, i like to use it for sim racing in gt7, but the shooters like resident evil are at another level, the new giroscope in the controllers never gets lost and does not need to be reset all the time as the first vr set, definitely the best buy I made!!

I'm now a Virtual Reality believer! Sony did a great job with this headset. The price might seem high. But once you have it...you won't regret it. It's comfortable, high quality, light, and the hand tracking is very good. I've been having a blast playing Pistol Whip, Horizon Call of the Mountain, and Resident Evil Village. The first time I put the headset on. I was blown away. For me it really feels like I've left my room and transported to a different world. Do keep in mind this is my first time with VR. So you might not have the same level of excitement. But yeah at the end of the day. If you have a PS5 console in your home. Then you should get the PSVR2. In my opinion...It's worth the price of admission.

A great upgrade. Way better graphics and display than meta quest 3. I got it to improve my gran Turismo experience but I enjoy all the other games as well. You will probably need a head strap (the cmp2 works great) to keep the "sweet spot" but if you can find a comfortable fit it is an amazing device.

I'm really happy with image quality and gameplay considering it is a 2.5 year old product. Disappointed that it doesn't play PS VR1 titles and can't play 3D or 180 or 360 degree videos. Got a large savings on price by buying "open-box excellent condition" unit in online store. (Can be difficult to navigate too.) Unit was in great shape. Only minor issue is that it was missing the small and large additional earpieces. Only option I was given to resolve that was to return the unit. Sigh.

The PSVR2 is a solid headset, especially for the price. It loses one star for comfort, as an aftermarket comfort mod is pretty much required. Once that’s added, it’s very good. While the resolution is lower than some competing headsets, the OLED display delivers more accurate and noticeably brighter colors. Also, if you want to use this for PC, you need to purchase an adapter.

The headset is really great but the controllers have the absolute worst battery life of anything i’ve ever bought EVER, i didn’t really think much of it untill a week or two after i bought it. I thought they were dying fast cause it was new and came with very little charge, but i soon figured out that was not why. I also didn’t want to charge them at different times or one would always be dead, unless i fully charged both of them one at a time(and me, who just waited 20 ish hours from when i ordered it, was not about to wait 2 more). So I actually ended up using the cord for my wireless phone charger because it was the only other thing in my house that use a USB-C port. Four stars(:

Words don't really do this thing justice. It's actually incredible. I've only played one game and I'm all in. It's seamless, and it just works. My only gripe is you can't play PSVR games you can only play PSVR2 games. So buyer beware of that! I didn't know that when I bought it but it still managed to be awesome. I wouldn't have bought it at the original price but at this price it is worth it.

find it open box (450) and get the 2 YEAR geek squad accidental coverage ($79)! BONUS: if your open box is missing the redeem code for Horizon Call of the Mountain, you can call in a few times and eventually they will refund the retail cost of the game ($60). I replaced the cushions with the “Globular Cluster CMP2” which makes the headset 10x more comfortable to wear and comes with 3 different fabric options to mix and match. I also added a silicone shell to protect the front from bumps and drops. It also makes it look much easier to grab and adjust to your face.

I was skeptical at first but took a leap. Man this thing is awesome. For the price, its a good entry level to the VR market, and its perfect for both ps5 and PC of i get the adapter. Its a lot of wires, but they never get in the way of play. In my opinion, its one of the best values you can get for VR.
