Yes. The processing box does some audio magic and you lose that if you don't plug in.
Edit; wait, don't plug into the controller! Plug into the VR headset.

So mine is set up and played for just a few minutes. First thing I noticed was on black screens and gray or dark scenes. The grainy MURA effect is quite present. Is mine defective or is this normal
1. On some V1s there was a plastic film but I think majority had nothing?, V2 not sure, maybe no film.
2. I have found I prefer earbuds over full headphones for PSVR, mainly as I found my Golds would start to slip off the back of my head in games that you look around alot in. Also earbuds are easier to take the headset on and off I found too. Otherwise as for audio quality didnt find much of a difference, maybe Golds were better? But a difderence never junped out at me.
Give the Statik demo a try. I loved it and bought the full game. It's got some two-player puzzles using the 2nd screen app, too.
Hey I think I'm going to get the Skyrim Bundle for Christmas. I was wondering what are some of the best games to pick up? I have Rez already and Resident Evil 7. Other than those, what are some suggestions? Thanks.
The quality of life improvements are really good. If you can do it at not much of a loss, I highly recommend it.
Does PSVR version 2 have earbuds attached to the headset? I'm confused as to what the earbud difference is between v1 and v2.
Did you get a separate charger for them or are they plugged into your console?
I highly recommend this accessory for all PSVR owners. I just got mine and it's great. You can charge two moves, two DS4s and wireless headphones all at the same time. (Never use wireless headphones on PSVR though, they have to be wired in to get the binaural sound) plus it is a spot to stow the headset itself.

Fam, the sound in those earbuds are loooooow. Is there a way to adjust the sound? Would the gold wireless pluggged into my headset output same sound?
EDIT: Found the buttons, nevermind
Tried Thumper demo and was floored. Wife laughed at my stupid smile on my face I was sporting the entire time
Plugged into my console. God, that looks like a monstrosity and my entertainment center is already embarrassing enough as is.
Asked my wife to buy it for me for Christmas :)

It says it usually ships between 2-5 months is that correct?
I just searched for one at Gamestop and there is one 6 miles from me. Try yours

I use a headphone amplifier to get around any low volume output from wired headphones. There are plenty around.
The sound buttons are underneath the eye piece of the VR headset. You should be able to adjust the volume and mute.
Yep, found them and tried to edit my original post. Thanks , both
I've got that display, too, and I agree it's really nice.
I accidentally pulled the headset off the stand today, and it fell to the ground. I had been messing around on a bookshelf near it, and my foot caught the headset cable. The headset just sits on the stand, so it's pretty easy to pull off if you're clumsy.
For anyone who wonders whether the PSVR gets damaged if you drop it on the ground, nope. At least I didn't notice any problems.
It taught me to be careful about where I put that cable (and my feet).
No luck in my area. Might have to ask my brother in Houston to see if he can pick one up for me and ship it to me.
I'm sure another online store besides Amazon carries it.
Snagged the Elder Scrolls bundle. First game I really dove into was RE7(may have been a mistake, lol). Holy crap. Was able to play about an hour with smooth turn on, but started to get motion sick not too long after. I'll adjust some of the movement settings tomorrow. Very impressed with the immersion. I need to get these Move controllers charged up as well, the fact that they had zero charge is a bit aggravating. Hoping to dive into some more games soon!
So my biggest problem right now is handshake. I'm using all the same brand and type of hdmi but unless I do a full shutdown of the system and turn it back on, even when shutting the headset off just to use the console normally, the thing goes nuts
Gonna go to frys and get two note sets of cables

Do you play RE7 standing or sitting? Found standing with moves being more immersive for most games, wonder if it's the same with a controller.
Didn't try standing. It's not a big deal, just need to get used to things and make some tweaks.
Ive had PSVR for about 5 months and I could only play RE7 for about 1 minute with smooth turn before I had to change it back to snap turn.
I used smooth turn and quick movement on RE7, but I had to start with short sessions (20m-30m to 1h)
At the end I could play the "action" extra missions for 1h hour... and these are damn hard to keep on playing in VR... really... the fast action and the tension... so I suggest to not give up, just stop before feeling "bad", do short session and you will get used to it.
Great to see Golem again, feels like forever since they first showed it off. It's looking a little more polished now.
Asking again: for anyone who has played Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, do you need to have beaten every stage with EVERY difficulty option, or just beat each stage with the highest difficulty (Psycopath)?
And is there any way to find out if you've actually cleared a stage on Psycopath? The game will list your highest score for each mode, but it doesn't seem to indicate whether you've actually beaten the stage or not.

Try your luck in the buy sell trade thread

I'm unaware that there's anything like a different ending if you've played it at all difficulties. Just play it at a level you enjoy.

I didn't realize the Game Awards sale would only last through yesterday. Wanted to pick up RE7.
Hopefully with these new bundle discounts and free headset trials being sent to people, Sony will have another big VR game sale on psn up before end of year.
Eve Valkyrie demo was cool (and looked much better to me on Pro vs the base console when I tried it last year). Only weird thing was I had to be close to camera otherwise the game had me positioned just outside the cockpit. Is there an option in game to remedy that or do you have to be THAT close to the camera?

AFAIK holding options should sort you out. That is the cover-all for drift issues etc. I did it in battle zone when it wanted me to move closer to the screen.
Any time your positioning feels off in any game your first step should be to hold the options button to recenter your position in the game world.
How the community for EVE Valkyrie Warzone? Still active enough? I want a space shooter, but Elite Dangerous doesn't support VR.
If you're playing alone there's no reason to have the tv on at all.
I figure if someone sneaks into my meatspace house and is stealing my furniture while I'm killing virtual dragons in Skyrim, it's more polite to let them see what's going on.
