PlayStation VR: A More Comfortable and Affordable Virtual Reality Experience

When it comes to virtual reality headsets, comfort can be a major issue. Many users have experienced what we've come to refer to as 'sweaty socket syndrome' after prolonged use - the feeling of discomfort and heat build-up around the eyes. But the PlayStation VR (PSVR) headset is designed with comfort in mind.

The first thing you'll notice when putting on the PSVR is that it's less tight and more airy around the eyes compared to other headsets. This makes a big difference, especially during long gaming sessions. The rubbery shroud that extends from the edges of the goggles to block out outside light also takes some getting used to, but overall, this headset is more comfortable than its competitors.

One area where you may need to make an adjustment is with the lenses. While they can feel a bit too close or too far away at first, you'll soon get used to the notches that allow you to adjust them to your liking. And if needed, you can push in another button on the bottom-right of the goggles to move the lenses closer to your eyes.

The design of the PSVR is also noteworthy. Unlike other headsets, which are essentially black goggles with elastic straps, the PSVR has a smooth and sculpted shape that keeps it securely on your head without putting too much pressure on your brow or nose. The weight is distributed evenly across the crown of your head, making for a comfortable fit.

Of course, no review would be complete without mentioning some of the teething problems with the PSVR. While it's not perfect, these issues are relatively minor and don't detract from the overall experience. And let's be real - at £350, this headset is an absolute bargain compared to its competitors. When you factor in the required PS Camera, which costs £39, you're still looking at a significantly lower entry point than other options on the market.

In conclusion, the PlayStation VR is a more comfortable and affordable virtual reality experience that's well worth considering. While it may not have all the bells and whistles of its more expensive counterparts, it's an excellent choice for those who want to dip their toes into the world of VR without breaking the bank.
