The best sound
PlayStation Platinum Wireless
These headphones support 7.1 surround sound and are made specifically to fit the VR headset, so you’ll never miss a thing. They also have an internal noise-canceling microphone to make sure your friends can always clearly hear what you’re saying when you play together. If you prefer a wired setup, these headphones rock a 3.5mm headphone jack, which means you do have the ability to plug them in physically. There is also a cheaper and less premium model, the Gold Wireless if you prefer.

Immersive controls
PSVR Aim Controller
While it offers a much better experience for shooter games, it is only supported with the following games: Arizona Sunshine, Bravo Team, ChromaGun, Dick Wilde, DOOM: VFR, Evasion, Farpoint, Firewall Zero Hour, Rom: Extraction, Special Delivery, The Brookhaven Institute, and Unearthing Mars 2. If you don’t have any of these games, don’t get the Aim controller, especially with no intention of owning them.

It only gets better from here
There are many great experiences with the PlayStation VR, and all of these accessories heighten that experience. Show off your pride and joy with a phenomenal vertical stand highlighting all of your accessories or jump straight into an immersive game with the best sound quality using PlayStation Platinum. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing; it matters that you’re having fun, and it makes you happy.
It isn’t always just about the fun, though. You also want to keep your console safe, clean, and sanitary. That’s where the products like the disinfecting wipes come in. Whether you’re saving your lenses from the devastation of a scratch by glasses or making sure your snotty nephew doesn’t get you sick, cleaning products are endlessly useful (and cheap!).
I bet you’re curious about my suggestions of a clamp light and green LED bulb, right? Long story short, your PlayStation VR camera tracks your movements by the lights on your headset and your Move controllers. So the camera will scan your room and choose a color for your Move controllers to display to combat the lights and colors around your room. This is why your Move controllers, some of the best PlayStation VR controllers, light up differently in different rooms!
So, if you turn off all your lights, block out the sun, and turn on a green LED bulb, your PlayStation camera will only have to compete against the green. This prevents it from having to register posters, wall paint, carpet color, etc. The easier it is for your console to process information, the better it will work.
